I have been an RN in TX since 2003. We moved to Alabama this past year. I am going to do the endorsement licensing for Alabama. However, my question is, since I no longer have a TX residence, can I keep my license in TX? I would very much like to. Th...

Hi- I was wondering if anyone was currently or attending or planning on attending either Brookhaven or El Centro Colleges in North Texas? I would love to chat with you and find out how you rate their program and some other specifics. Thanks!

If you mean you are going to be starting nursing school then I would suggest getting a fundamentals of nursing book. I would just read some of that and possibly get an NCLEX book and go through that. Otherwise, enjoy your time with your children whil...

My name is Deirdre. I'm 28 years old. Will be married 8 years in January. We have a 5 year old daughter and one cat. We currently live in the DFW area of Texas. We just built a new house and moved in at the beginning of October. I am a SAHM (stay at ...

Krista- If you were just dead set on taking an extra class online I would definitely recommend either nutrition or sociology. I took nutrition via a telecourse and it was awesome. I still have to take sociology and plan on taking that via distance ed...

My husband attends an online university and had to take Business Statistics I & II. I normally have very good math skills but I must admit I could barely help him with these classes. I read the material, re-read it and still could not make rhyme ...

Oops...I meant ADN ! ! ! 2nd semester in January...

Starting 2nd semester of an AND program here in Texas....

Peaceful- You sound exactly like me two years ago. I mean it truly sounds like you could have been in the same exact program with me. My class and I suffered in much the same way. We were also expected to self educate ourselves! The instructors would...

My particular program taught all skills first semester. Of course we had all the lecture/theory courses as well. We only had to do about three days worth of clinical in the first semester and only took one patient per student. The patients were prett...

This is just a suggestion but have you ever thought about taking out a student loan. This would be the much cheaper route to go at a community college and it would take less time to pay back than a 4 year college. Most student loans only require you ...

Hi Shonda- I'm glad to hear you're having a pretty positive experience. I think I know what instructor you're talking about. Don't sweat them tearing yours or anyone elses careplans apart...that is really just part of the learning experience. The onl...

Sorry I couldn't have been of more help. That careplan link is pretty good though. Have a good weekend.

My 2nd semester in the ADN program was OB and Med/Surg. We learned all skills first semester so we were able to rotate through quite a few departments and assist or observe. Most people really loved the OB content, esp. labor and delivery. I really e...

Are you talking about a "careplan"? If so, there is a website called http://www.careplans.com this may be of some help to you. Other than that I would suggest going to your school library and checking out careplan books or typing in nursing careplans...

I wish you the best of luck. If you need any help with your pre-reqs just let me know. I attended Mountain View College for all of my pre-reqs.

NRICE---- Are you beginning your 1st or 2nd semester in the Spring? I will be starting the 2nd semester there. I am awaiting their space availability go ahead but the counselor is confident there will be space for me. They called me the night before ...

I had my share of ups and downs at Trinity Valley. I had an instructor for clinical both semesters that is now no longer at the school that pretty much tortured her students. I was in the weekend program as well and from what I understand they are di...

I'm actually transferring into Brookhavens nursing program from another nursing program. I had previously attended Trinity Valley Comm. College ADN program for a year. I opted not to go back for 2nd year because we were moving and it was going to be ...

I have been in your shoes. Distance Ed. classes were my saving grace. I was able to take Nutrition along with some other courses via distance Ed. I took both A&P I &II on Saturdays. I took Microbiology on campus but only for lab; my lecture w...

Another fellow Texan here! I'm starting my 2nd semester at Brookhaven(a Dallas County Comm. College) in January as a nursing transfer student. I now live in Roanoke but have lived in quite a few places around North Texas. Is anyone else starting the...

I passed the sterile dressing change today! Thank goodness that is over with. I should know in a few weeks whether or not they are going to have space available in the program for this Fall. I spoke with the advisor today and she said she was very ho...

Hi Everyone- I am transferring into a nursing program, hopefully this Fall. I attended a year of nursing school about a 1 1/2 yrs. ago and had to drop the 2nd semester of my first year about 2 weeks before the finals due to a family emergency. I deci...

Thanks everyone for your wise words. I tested off today. All went pretty well. I"ve been going up there on and off for about a month now to review videos, etc.. but I didn't get to have alot of hands on in the skills lab since their hours are restric...

If you're old school has a website, see if the admissions office has an online transcript request form you could copy and fax. This would save you from talking to someone who obviously is not pro-education at all. Regardless of the D, it is your new ...
