  1. El Centro students Spring '06

    Yin Yang replied to AllyRN82's topic in Texas Nursing

    Katie, I just got back from DC today (1 week there). Prepare to walk your legs completely off! They have subways, but they don't have stops at everything, so you still wind up walking very long...

  2. El Centro/Northlake • Fall 07

    Yin Yang replied to PreNurseKirk's topic in General Students

    Peckd - that post is my fault probably. I e-mailed the teacher for 1st for Spring 07 first semester who also teaches our 2nd semester (OB Peds) and she posted reading assignments for us to get...

    Yin Yang replied to Spill's topic in General Students

    Well, for those who haven't seen me, I was 99 pounds when I graduated high school in 1989. At the beginning of the summer, I weighed a whopping 185 - and I'm only 5'1". I carry virtually all of it...

    Hey Spill! He is a cutie. Jaxia is not completely moved in yet....she's in NM right now on vacation, but hopefully when she gets back. I have been losing weight (17 lbs so far this summer!!!!) I...

    Yin Yang replied to AllyRN82's topic in Texas Nursing

    Thank you, yes! it will help. I started trying to go and match chapters last night, but there are bits about alot of stuff in various chapters. It's much easier to just have a list! Thanks...

    Yin Yang replied to AllyRN82's topic in Texas Nursing

    I'm looking for help....I got Branscome to post a schedule of sorts for 2nd semester, but it just has general topics. Does anyone have an old blueprint or anything for second semester? I know it...

  7. North Lake/El Centro - Fall '06!

    Yin Yang replied to Fun2's topic in General Students

    Old Guy - I have a PC - I'm not sure if they are MAC compatible or not...good question though. I'm sure the bookstore would know.

    Yin Yang replied to AllyRN82's topic in Texas Nursing

    Funny isn't the word I'd use...I'm sorry, that sucks! Do they just not have enough instructors for the number of students for 4th semester? Maybe that's why they try to flunk so many out in the...

    Yin Yang replied to Fun2's topic in General Students

    You crack me up....it looks good though. Very thorough!

  10. El Centro/ Northlake-----Spring 07

    Yin Yang replied to Spill's topic in General Students

    Old Guy - it wasn't that they dropped. A couple did, but all the rest were an administrative drop due to test scores. They did have a rule that if you made 70 or below on 2 lecture tests, you were...

  11. North Lake/El Centro - Fall '06!

    Yin Yang replied to Fun2's topic in General Students

    I think all of us on here had Branscome for 1423. Galloway taught the pilot group and I don't think any of us were pilot for ECC. I have the lecture schedule for Branscome if it will help you to get...

    Yin Yang replied to PreNurseKirk's topic in General Students

    I have Danskos....they are referred to as "sport clogs". You have to have shoes with a back to them - no backless clogs. These fit the bill and they were very comfortable. Some people had black...

    Yin Yang replied to PreNurseKirk's topic in General Students

    The littman III and the littman cardiac are both really good. Just make sure it's comfortable to you. I'm glad to finally be the one giving help instead of receiving it! Take Care,

  14. El Centro/Northlake • Fall 07

    Yin Yang replied to PreNurseKirk's topic in General Students

    I have an ultrascope, but I got it at a trade show very discounted. The Littmans are what alot of people have. I'd start there. Before you buy it, try it on and listen to someone with it. Make...

    Yin Yang replied to Spill's topic in General Students

    At least your buddy made it....Jaxia and I just found out ours didn't - missed it by 1 stinking point!!!!!!

  16. El Centro/Northlake • Fall 07

    Yin Yang replied to PreNurseKirk's topic in General Students

    You do have to go pick your patient the night before, and no - you can't keep the same patient if they are there for an extended stay. Plus, you will want to go with different cases so you can learn...

  17. El Centro/Northlake • Fall 07

    Yin Yang replied to PreNurseKirk's topic in General Students

    It just depends on the hospital you get. I had patients of varying ages. That looks the same as last semester. Old people are easier to do you major careplan on though, because they LOVE to talk....

    Yin Yang replied to PreNurseKirk's topic in General Students

    Who were all the Clinical Instructors?

    Yin Yang replied to Spill's topic in General Students

    You absolutely WILL learn from her. She is very tough, and takes no crap period. DO NOT BE LATE!!! She is very up front with her expectations though, so at least you will not be left floundering and...

    Yin Yang replied to PreNurseKirk's topic in General Students

    Congrats all you guys! You'll do fine. What were all of your choices on clinicals?

  21. El Centro/Northlake • Fall 07

    Yin Yang replied to PreNurseKirk's topic in General Students

    I take the train - I live in Allen and park at the Parker station. It takes time, but not any more than driving down there. You'll do fine. Let me know if I can help in any way!

  22. El Centro/Northlake • Fall 07

    Yin Yang replied to PreNurseKirk's topic in General Students

    I got 2 because you usually have either 1 or 2 days of clinicals. They do have to be embroidered so I'd at least get the tops and 1 jacket. The pants you can get anywhere. Congratulations on your...

  23. El Centro/Northlake • Fall 07

    Yin Yang replied to PreNurseKirk's topic in General Students

    LOL....not dumb at all. They sell all the books in one box that includes the books on CD. You do still have to buy your clinical handbook and syllabus separately. I love the CDs though....much...

    Yin Yang replied to PreNurseKirk's topic in General Students

    Hi Bridget... absolutely more will join. Did you guys already have orientation? If not, tell everyone there to go the website so you can get to know each other before classes start. If there is...

    Yin Yang replied to Fun2's topic in General Students

    Good news folks...I just got a call from David, manager of the ECC bookstore and book boxes are in for all 4 semesters. They got them in today and will check them in tonight. They will be available...
