  1. Evening RN Program HCC

    cad4296 replied to Ange07's topic in Texas Nursing

    This may be a stupid question, but the BNE doesn't show Cy-Fair as being accredited either, so how do you know that Cy-Fair is accredited? It actually shows all the schools in the NHCCD as only in...

  2. Did not pass the NET

    cad4296 replied to nicistarr's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I think the trickiest thing about the NET is the time limit. I passed the first time and did well with minimal studying. I was confident that I knew the material, but what gets most people is getting...

  3. sigh...applying

    cad4296 replied to jesa's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You are definately not alone! I have already applied (In October actually but the deadline isn't until Jan. 15th) for the BSN program that I really, really, really want to go to and the ADN program at...

  4. Am I dumb??

    cad4296 replied to jewelsg627's topic in General Nursing

    It sounds like you are a shoe in! If you want to hear about dumb, hey you could be me! I'm applying to a school with a 3.4! This school has 130 seats and on average gets between 1,800 to 2,000...

  5. How am I doing? What should I do?

    cad4296 replied to nancy86girl's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Hello! Fellow Houstonian here! Don't get discouraged yet! First off we're in Houston and there are several BSN and community college programs in the area and even some in Galveston and surrounding...

  6. The letter......Spring 07

    cad4296 replied to NRSNFL's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Congrats to everyone that's finally in! Your stories are so inspirational! Hopefully I can join you guys soon! Can't wait to make the move from "pre-nursing" to actual nursing student! I am playing...

  7. Who is tired of typing the word "prerequisites"?

    cad4296 replied to stpauligirl's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Totally agree! I actually just completely finished all my prewrecks! Now time to play the waiting game. :uhoh21: Applications are turned in, transcripts sent, NET taken, now just waiting. I have...

  8. Has anyone ever had to retake English Comp a second time?

    cad4296 replied to Iwannabeababynurse's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I had to retake it because I have a D on my transcript. Even worse, it was a mistake on my transcript that I tried to get fixed for 3 years with no results so finally gave up and retook it. I took...

  9. You are only taking one class.... It's no wonder you are getting an A!

    cad4296 replied to luvmy3kids's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    The real root of all evil is everyone is under the same stress and pressure of wanting so badly to get into nursing school but there not being enough room for all of us. It most certainly sucks, but...

  10. Texas Evening/Weekend Courses?

    cad4296 replied to shannonFNP's topic in Texas Nursing

    I don't know about any relatively close to Waco, but in Houston, Houston Community College has an evening program and I *think* there is a college called College of the Mainland that has an...

  11. Anyone afraid of not getting in?

    cad4296 replied to tigress_8207's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Of course! I think we are all terrified! At the school I'm applying to nearly 2,000 apply for 100 spots so even 4.0's get turned away! I've applied so now it's in God's hands. I just have to sit and...

  12. So annoying when students ask your grade

    cad4296 replied to luv2shopp85's topic in General Students

    I'd rather people just not ask me! I had a very bad experience with this this week. We had a chemistry exam monday so a bunch of us met up in the computer lab with the TA to go over any last minute...

  13. please help me ppl :(

    cad4296 replied to amanji's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    My thoughts exactly! At my school the LVN program does not require any pre-reqs. The LVN-RN bridge program at my school is also much easier to get into because of less applicants. So technically one...

  14. Im soooo lost..what do I do next

    cad4296 replied to Dreamer528's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    The thinking that community college sciences are sub par to university level sciences is not true. Maybe at some schools but definately not true from all the schools I've been to (4 different CC's and...

  15. Online classes

    cad4296 replied to Butterfly3001's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I am a huge fan of online classes! Currently 4 of my 5 classes are online (I work full time and a part time job too) 2 of those are hybrids so I still have to go to campus for the labs. While it is...

  16. What would your requirements be for Nursing School?

    cad4296 replied to Faeriewand's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Hmm, this is tricky. From a school standpoint I would definately want people who would succeed in the program. But I don't necessarily believe that can be acheived just by looking at GPA. I think I...

  17. Im soooo lost..what do I do next

    cad4296 replied to Dreamer528's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You are definately not alone! I am also a B student. I'm at a 3.33 now trying to get my GPA up to a 3.55 this semester before I apply in January. I had a bad first year in college. Had some health...

  18. How competitive is nursing school?

    cad4296 replied to ayden's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Here's the stats for the school I am applying to: Last year: 1675 applicants, over 1100 WELL qualified, 140 4.0 GPA's, only 130 spots in the program. This school also factors in entrance exams and...

  19. What are your core classes?

    cad4296 replied to Lexystext's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Ah, the fine print. Most schools give you the "pre-reqs" and say you can apply upon finishing these classes. But that's not all you need. All schools (I assume) require so many credits of general...

  20. Dilemma

    cad4296 replied to narcissistic's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Personally I would do whatever it takes to avoid ruining your GPA. One little mistake can be forever costly to the GPA. Even if you retake it and replace the grade that grade stays there forever so...

  21. I didn't know this actually happened

    cad4296 replied to HappyNurse2005's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I hate to see people abuse the system. 3 years ago my husband accidentally stabbed himself in the leg while trying to cut a plastic band. He sliced both his artery and vein in his leg and the only...

  22. Tell me what you think of this

    cad4296 replied to Multicollinearity's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I have one class kind of like that. Our actual instructor grades the quizzes/exams and the other instructor grades all the writing stuff, discussions and essays. I thought it was weird too, but they...

  23. Who is tired??

    cad4296 replied to jbjints's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I completely feel your pain! I have to get up at 3:45 am so I can leave my house by 4:15 am so I can get to work by 5 am. Then Mondays & Wednesdays I work until noon, Tuesdays work until 4 pm,...

  24. what the heck are medical assistant schools doing !

    cad4296 replied to lauralassie's topic in General Nursing

    You are exactly right! I wasted $10,000 on a medical assistant course (FYI less than what I could pay to get a nursing degree in some schools around me!) You go in for an "information session" which...

  25. "Honey"

    cad4296 replied to lovingtheunloved's topic in General Nursing

    It doesn't usually bother me but coming from younger people is irritating. I had a classmate once who called everyone hun all the time! I can understand using it if you forget names at first, but she...
