   Hey sorry I haven’t been on here in a while. I’m sure by now they’ve probably mentioned stuff and I’m betting there might be some changes from what’s usually done due to Covid. In the past we had 3 weeks of community and 6 weeks of acute care. good l...

   @MarieKuhn you get points based on GPA, TEAS, if you’ve been at UMHB or transferred for the program, if you maintained the 3.0 in the selected courses, and there are some points for the responses on the applications but not a ton.

   @MarieKuhn I had about 3.9 GPA and a 82% on TEAS. My friend who got in the same time I did had a slightly lower TEAS and I think closer to a 3.5-3.7. It’s a competitive program because of the sheer volume of people that apply, but it’s all based on ...

   polarRN posted a topic in Operating Room

   Hello, I've been interested in the operating room since beginning nursing school but we don't rotate there for clinical. I have heard of circulating nurses and peri-op nurses but I haven't been able to find any articles that list all the roles that n...

   Check offs are the first week but N1 gets to go last which I believe is Thursday. Practicing depends on what they do about open lab this Summer. If we start opening stuff back up I would assume they will have the lab open for the 1-2 weeks leading up...

   Personally, I thought it was easier than intro. I think it really depends on the person and if you’ve found a way of studying that works for you. The information itself isn’t that hard at all. The exemplars they give you build a great foundation as f...

    I wouldn’t be surprised if the dorms are full too. UMHB has been growing every year and housing has been difficult. If all else fails, there are affordable apartments in the area that are not too far from campus. You could always call residence life ...

    Hey! Every semester there are quite a few transfer students. You should be able to sign up for transfer connection through UMHB which should help you meet a few people. I don’t know how they’re doing it this year because of the coronavirus. Even if ...

    Head to toe assessment is at the end of the semester. They break up the assessment class into systems. I think module A is like taking a health history, basics of assessment, and HEENT. B for us was cardiovascular, respiratory, and GI. C I think is m...

    The first semester isn’t too bad, but there is a lot of lab time. Some people pay less attention/don’t take the lab time seriously but it’s a huge part of your learning in the first semester. Essentials is fairly easy so long as you watch her voiceov...
