I HATE THESE CHECK OFFS!!!!!!! We had one today, and it was so stressful. Some people were crying after they finished because of how mean the testers were being---one in particular. Why do we let ourselves get so nervous and stressed out? The good n...

You have several great choices in the Dallas area. Big Baylor, as well as Methodist Dallas both offer great internships. Methodist Dallas has an excellent nurse extern program, and you can request ICU. Harris Ft. Worth also has an extern program, ...

We also are using Wong's 7th edition. For OB we are using Lowdermilk & Perry Maternity and Women's Health Care

Sleep? What's that? Honestly, I'm lucky if I get 5 hours. I would prefer 8 or 9, but that just doesn't seem to happen---especially this semester.

How many years of experience are required before an agency will hire you?

Howdy y'all!!! I'm in the Dallas area and I'm in my next to last semester of a BSN program---graduate May 2004!!!!!!!!! I agree---the states forum is a great idea.

Hey-----that test SUCKED!!!!!!!! Hey all you Texas students!! I'm also starting my senior year at UTA (UT Arlington). So far, I have been very impressed with this program. If anyone has any questions feel free to PM me.

Well, I guess I'm in the minority here. I have a Littman Classic II S.E., and I LOVE it. I have tried others, and I can't hear nearly as well through them. I guess it is just what works best for you.

We use Baylor Irving as a clinical site for my program (I'm at UTA). I've only heard good things about this hospital. I volunteered in the ICU before I started nursing school, and the nurses were great to me. I don't know anything about the other ...

Avoid Dallas Independent School District!!! Frisco/Allen/Plano----great schools, good for children, relatively affordable housing (especially in Allen) Watauga/Keller----from what I have heard, the schools are pretty good, and housing is affordable S...

We just finished our psych rotation with our second semester. I really enjoyed this rotation. Even though I don't see myself as a psych nurse, the information that we learned in invaluable in dealing with each patient. Our book was Johnson's Psychi...

Our application deadline was December 31, and I didn't receive my letter until March. I interviewed at the end of March, and I received my acceptance letter in May. Good luck to you!!!!!

You win!!!!!:roll :roll :roll

Last semester, my clinical site was only about 10-15 minutes away. This semester, one site was 40 minutes away and the other is about 45 minutes away. I don't really mind the driving though---I'm completeing my med-surg clinical at one of the best ...

I agree with TooterIA----I would take psych first. We take them together, but the clinical rotations are split within the semester. I had my psych clinical first, and the communcation skills that we learned have been invaluable for med-surg clinical...

I applied to 4---was accepted at 2, put on the waiting list for 1, and the 4th lost two of my transcripts. Anyway, my point is apply to as many as possible---you really don't know what might happen. Good luck to you!!!!

Honestly, I would go to Hopkins. I know the debt is extraordinary, but come on.....it's HOPKINS!!!!! I'm looking at applying there for graduate school. I have no idea how I'm going to afford the tuition, but if I get accepted I'll do just about any...

I'm in my 2/4 semesters in a BSN program, and this semester we did a group teaching project. We taught parents dental care for their children. The teaching project actually went really well. Now we are finishing up our paper to turn in for our gra...

When I took it, I had to wait a few weeks for the results. It might vary by state----sorry I couldn't really help. Good luck---you'll do great.

Wendy-----please take care.

We were also taught to not aspirate with ANY SQ injection---only IM.

Congratulations!!!!!!!! It's always nice to be appreciated---especially for something you enjoy.

I too am VERY interested in this field, but I am having trouble finding masters programs. For anyone that has continued on to get a MSN in forensics---do you recommend working before going on to graduate school, or going straight to graduate school...

I love playing hooky!!! We've had two days off from classes. The university(and all surrounding school districts) has been closed since we were hit by some bizarre ice storm. This has been like a bonus spring break. Enjoy your day!!!!

One of the students in my school created a website specifically for pharmacology. Here is the address. http://www.pharmaquiz.com good luck to you!!!
