Ok, thanks. The month wait for the ATT was based on feedback from past graduates from my school and the school staff. Just to confirm: I MUST wait until I have a firm scheduled date, even as a new...

Baylor is $21 according to the rep who came to the school and their intern fair. Parkland is around $24. Medical City is $22.85. (without shift diffs, of course) I haven't heard of any one specialty...
Congrats! The people on these boards have been a great source of support for me. I don't think I could have made it this far without the people I've met because of allnurses. So, come on in and get...

I'm trying to do some research to figure out where I want to work when I get out of school (I'm set to graduate this Dec). Does anyone have a list of the hospitals in the Dallas area (I'm in the...

I have an iPhone. There are already a few different options for looking up drugs, and doing med calcs. The app store hasn't been open for long, so I suspect there will be many more options soon....

I heard good things about Foote, but didn't take the online class. If she's still there, Carmichael is really awesome if you wind up taking it on campus. I had her for A&P 1 and 2 and wouldn't...

You'll need to find out what your school wants. Most schools have slightly different requirements. Here are a few classes that may not be required by your school, but I wish I had taken before I...
Well, I have the PDR Nursing Drug Handbook, so I can look up individual things, but it has almost every drug possible. There's no way I can know that! I'm just wondering if there's something out...
I have the Saunders NCLEX Review book, but it doesn't really talk about side effects, class and stuff like that. I'll check out the other books -- thanks! Does anyone know anything about the...

I'm in the RN program at El Centro. It's a tough program. In the end though, I think it really just matters what is important to you. Are you concerned with how much driving you have to do to...

Football is big in Texas. Several HS teams in the DFW area are consistently rated in the top schools nationally (Plano and Allen among them). I've just moved to the north Dallas area, and things do...
I'm in my last semester, and I feel so blessed to have made it this far. At my school, we hardly see the other semesters due to scheduling. I do remember my first semester, and passing people in...
I'm always willing to pitch in a hand, but when someone is trying to pawn their job off on me so that they can sit on their duff? No way. I don't think so. It's not about being rude -- it's about...

To MissB08 and anyone else who has questions about ECC/NL ... there are several threads where people from both campuses post updates and such. I suppose it's because once you're in the program, we...
I'm glad to read your update. Last semester, I really dug myself a HUGE whole after my first lecture test. I made good grades on the next few tests, but still needed to hit a home run on the final....
We wear a blue scrub top that is a medium shade of blue, and black scrub pants. Shoes are supposed to be solid black. We also have white lab coats, but we aren't required to wear them. Our patches...
I'm in my fourth (and hopefully, last) semester of nursing school. I really struggled with last semester, and just barely made it through. When this semester started, I was very nervous about not...
Hey everyone, I'm getting ready to graduate in December and I'm working on my resume. People suggest including a GPA on a resume if the GPA is above a 3.0. I have a previous degree, in which I had a...
Hey everyone, I'm a nursing student, and this semester I'm in the ER with a preceptor. I'll be working weekends, so I'm excited about all the stuff I'll get to see! I have a question -- In school, we...
