  1. NICU Job harder to find then the fountain of youth

    tictac replied to sdclarinet's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    Earthcrosser, do you mind saying what hospital in Houston you work

  2. Thinking of switching from Dental Hygiene

    tictac replied to TexasToothFairy's topic in Texas Nursing

    I was a dental hygienist for almost 5 years before I decided to make the switch to nursing. It was one of the best decisions I've ever made. When I moved to Texas, I had a hard time finding a dental...

  3. A bit of advice for UT Houston Bacc2 students

    tictac replied to horus2001's topic in Texas Nursing

    Yes, it applies to the regular program as well. Care plans were my least favorite part of nursing school. The group projects were

  4. PICU/Pedi CVICU internships

    tictac replied to ECMOismygame's topic in Texas Nursing

    Yes, two of my friends just got hired at TCH, one in PICU and the other in CVICU. They're new

  5. Baylor Plan?

    tictac replied to GeauxNursing's topic in Texas Nursing

    Yeah, at my recent interview I asked about a schedule like this and the nurse manager said they have a certain number of spots, they're all filled, and people rarely give up their spots. Oh

  6. STUPID interview questions, add yours here

    tictac replied to hoolahan's topic in General Nursing

    I just had a 2 hour interview on Monday with 2 nurse managers. It was nothing but "tell me about a situation in which...." I honestly don't know how they expect you to remember all of these...

  7. RN versus Dental Hygienist

    tictac replied to agldragonRN's topic in General Nursing

    I'm a dental hygienist, currently in my senior year of a BSN program. I can make more money as a hygienist than a nurse, but I got burned out very quickly. It is pretty much a dead end job, unless...

  8. need so much advice since i am only a prenursing student

    tictac replied to pe5322's topic in Texas Nursing

    It really doesn't matter whether you take your prereqs at U of H or HCC. As far as I know, they don't favor someone who's taken them at a university over a community college like other professional...

  9. UT-Houston Fall 2007 Applicants

    tictac replied to SuperPaige's topic in Texas Nursing

    Wow, that would be great if they accepted those classes. I personally wouldn't retake them if I didn't have to. I really don't think you'll forget your skills in one semester. What a relaxed...

  10. UT-Houston Fall 2007 Applicants

    tictac replied to SuperPaige's topic in Texas Nursing

    No problem, I wish I'd asked more questions when I started! You don't have to purchase Tegrity on your own or anything. As long as you've paid your tuition and fees and have access to blackboard,...

  11. Guess what RN's, you didn't need that college degree!!

    tictac replied to welnet66's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Actually, most hygienists have Associate of Science degrees because that's what the majority of dental hygiene schools offer. Some schools are called certificate programs, but I believe it's the exact...

  12. UT-Houston Fall 2007 Applicants

    tictac replied to SuperPaige's topic in Texas Nursing

    Yes, 'Tegrity' is your friend, trust me. You'll see what I mean in the fall. Most students use their laptops for notes and it is very convenient. I personally like a hard copy with my handwritten...

  13. UT-Houston Fall 2007 Applicants

    tictac replied to SuperPaige's topic in Texas Nursing

    Yeah, unfortunately, no summers off. You'll either take OB/Pedi or Psych in the

  14. UT-Houston Fall 2007 Applicants

    tictac replied to SuperPaige's topic in Texas Nursing

    The only way you can take fewer hours in a semester is if you've gotten credit for the class already, such as Pharm. Otherwise, you're pretty much stuck with the

  15. UT-Houston Fall 2007 Applicants

    tictac replied to SuperPaige's topic in Texas Nursing

    Hi and congrats on your acceptance! For financial aid, make sure you fill out a FAFSA and the school should also send you a list of scholarships you may be eligible for. I would get the FAFSA done...

  16. How About Summerlin?

    tictac replied to m_chatelaine's topic in Nevada Nursing

    I can only speak from a patient's point of view, but I gave birth to 2 of my children at Summerlin Hospital, had a couple ER visits, and an overnight stay for one of my children there, and I have...

  17. In doubt

    tictac replied to rnmomtobe2010's topic in General Nursing

    You can SO do this. Not only will you and your family be proud of your accomplishment, you will be providing a better life for your family in the end. My husband passed away and left me with 3 little...

  18. Thoughts on Maternity nursing.

    tictac replied to Nurse AllBetta's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I'm currently a student, but speaking from a patient's perspective, I think OB nurses are the epitome of what a nurse is. Why anyone would think that's not "real" nursing is beyond

  19. Breast impants..again..

    tictac replied to rnnurse2b's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with everything you said.

  20. CDiff Smell?

    tictac replied to student456's topic in General Nursing

    I'm a student, and this thread is scaring me more than most others I've read so far. Oh, how I look forward to experiencing my first CDiff, neuro breath, GI bleed, and fecal impaction patients.

  21. Update on Gross Out Co-Worker

    tictac replied to Meerkat's topic in General Nursing

    I don't have any advice to add, as I agree with what everyone else has said. But I just have to say this is unbelievable and I cannot imagine working with this woman. She needs an intervention from...

    tictac replied to sunkiss's topic in Texas Nursing

    Oh, okay. Thanks! Where is the brown lot located? Is that the same as the South Extension lot? Sorry for so many

  23. UT Houston Nursing Student supplies

    tictac replied to sunkiss's topic in Texas Nursing

    ^^Is that the parking lot behind Sams Club? How far from the SON does the Metrorail drop you off? I am so unfamiliar with the Med Center and parking, etc. I'm still trying to figure out the best...

  24. Orientation: What was your experience?

    tictac replied to SummerGarden's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    ^^I thought mine was bad, the Friday before school starts (on Monday). Oh well, at least I have the weekend to digest the

  25. Dental Hygienist or Nursing??

    tictac replied to c18436572's topic in Arizona Nursing

    I'm a hygienist going into nursing. Hygiene has its perks, such as great hours and great pay, but there's often little to no benefits and I personally was never comfortable having my livelihood...
