Absolutely! I never thought I would like oncology when I started nursing school, then I got a taste of it! I love it. I completed my professional residency in oncology this summer and have just started my internship. If it is something you are pa...

I know this must be frustrating for you, but go into each clinical day with an open mind, open heart, and know that it is not you. Sometimes it's just the mix of nurses on a particular floor and the dynamic they have working together. I have seen a...

I wish there was something that I could say that would make this better for you, but, unfortunately, there's not. Please know that you are not alone. I have done this dance with my husband for 16 years, of which the last 8 have been medicated (the ...

To answer your questions: Any place close to TCU will be good! Classes start on Monday the 14th. Rest up, have a good weekend. We'll see you this afternoon at the lunch & I'll have a few treats to pass along from our class to yours! I just got ...

Your 3.5 should be fine. I am finishing up the ABT program right now. I went in with a 3.85, but know that others had lower GPAs. Keep in mind that your GPA is important, but so are your scores on the NET, entrance essays, etc. Best of luck!

I feel your pain! I had the exact same thing happen to me during clinicals. Nevermind the wrinkles in other peoples' scrubs, I was the one who got called on it. Now, it's a huge joke in our clinical group. Since that day, I always iron & starc...

I'm at TCU right now in the ABT program. If you take your pre-reqs there, you are automatically in the nursing program as long as you have the grade. Good luck

Thanks for the info. Looking fwd to 5/12.

Hey Princess74 - The NET Study Guide is exactly the same as the test. I couldn't believe that itwas down to the same number of each type of questions for the math portion. Take the 2 practice tests, check answers, and don't freak out. I began to p...

I had to join the party!! I got my letter yesterday and will be starting school in May!! I could hardly focus yesterday and this AM, well, I'm not sleeping...... Congrats, everyone! Enjoy the calm now. LOL!!

I am so excited. I got my letter today. I'm gonna be a Horned Frog this May. Talk about celebrating around here!!!! Yahoo!!!

Just go through the study guide a million times. They are exactly alike. I used to freak out when I took calculus. My husband advised me to drink a beer.... It turned out, all I needed was to relax. This has worked for me ever since. Stick with ...

Yahoo!!!!! I got in!!!!!!

I think the postman hurries past my house now since I either seem to be "playing" outside with my 3 yr old, or sitting at the front of the house. Maybe the selection committees should think about sending out Xanax with every completed app they receiv...

I took the NET in December. I thought the the math portion was exactly like the study guide. The reading comprehension was much harder on the test than in the study guide. I guess it was the luck of the draw for me. Pay very careful attention to t...

I was premed too, back in the day... My BS is in biology, not the smartest thing I ever did, but I was idealistic at the time. When I talked to Sue, it did not seem to matter that I was currently enrolled in the classes, just that they are on the a...

Me too!! I graduated from UNT in 1997 so the majority of my biology would have to be retaken. The only pre-reqs I needed for TCU were nutrition and religion. I'm taking both now. UTA threw out my app because they said their admissions dept did no...

I thought about the PA program, but feel it is so limiting as far as career choices as concerned. With an RN, there are inifinite possibilities.... So I guess my plan B would be to keep trying.........

Found out a little more when I talked with Sue this week... She said the application committee did not get a chance to meet before Spring Break, but should get together when they get back. At least this makes the walk to the mailbox a little easier...

Way to go!!!!!:balloons:

I loved micro! It was my favorite class of all time! The lab was great, too! Besides the slides, we traced an epidemic and made fermented root beer. It was fun.

Applied to TCU. Should know something end of March, beginning of April.

Do they only interview for the traditional program at TCU? I spent the whole afternoon yesterday trying to come up with an excuse to call and beg for information!! Looks like you beat me to the punch. LOL! At least only 60 people applied instead o...

I'm waiting to hear, too. No one told me when to even look for notification! Best of luck!
