I wanted to start a support thread for all of us that will be applying for the Spring 09 start. My hope is that we keep this thread alive through the process and keep each other encouraged! Nursing School is hard enough to get into! Where are you ...

I just wanted to say congrats to you for passing on your first try!! :yeah: Hesi is hard and for you to have passed it on your first attempt it says you did know your material. I would pat myself on the back too, because if anyone has ever took Hesi...

From what I hear, they prefer new grads with BSN but if you "know" someone, you can probably still get a job as an ADN. HTH

Tomorrow you guys should be having Clinical Orientation, we all are Your first semester you guys will be in LTAC and rehab facilities. Our first day was scary, exciting, and an eye opener all in one! This semester in clinical you all will focus on v...

Hi Kat, Just wanted to offer you some encouragement. If you can, I would go the RN route rather than the LVN route.... the LVN pay is not that great unless you're in an LTAC facility....start the pre-req's for the RN program, and since I'm gathering...

I am a Nursing III student and am in the night program. I am a wife, a mother of four kids, work full time, and go to nursing school full time. I will not lie, it is extremely hard to do all this simultaneously.... one of my roles always suffers at...

E- They tell you don't take Pharm if you're applying to Cy-fair because if you do, you have to pass a hard math Pharm test administered by Cy-fair to consider it complete. I would not take Pharm if I was only applying to Cy-fair until the program whe...

In Houston, most of the hospitals in the medical center is not hiring new grads. Most is on a hiring freeze. Our own Houstonian new grads can't find jobs...

cschoppe- Don't lose hope. That was Cy-fair's cut off for Spring 2009. You have an excellent shot! Keep the faith

You're welcome :wink2: I would take CPR now to have it out of the way why you're still waiting on time to pass and make sure if you do take it, that it is the one for Healthcare Providers. When accepted, 1172 is in January and either for a month if ...

Good luck to you all! I'm getting ready to enter Nursing II at Kingwood, for all of you trying for Kingwood, awesome choice! I love my school. I put all of my eggs in a basket and only applied to Kingwood because I have to work full time during the...

No problem :-) I'm all ears. I know how frustrating it is to have 50 million questions (not that you do but I did) and not a lot of people in my situation that could help. I go to Lone Star College in Kingwood. They have an evening RN program and ...

Hi. There are many LVN programs in the Houston area but know that many hospitals are phasing out LVNs and some are even paying for their LVNs to go back to school to get their RN. ( I work for one of the biggest, if not the largest hospital in TMC an...

To the above poster that said look in Texas, hmmmm I think not! I'm in the Houston area, and most of our hospitals here are under a hiring freeze as well. Our new grads are searching in other states also

You guys may want to check your Summer 2009 schedules. Ours was there a little after acceptance and our intent to enroll were turned in. The days/times will be on there. HTH!

I have it, used it alot in clinicals this past semester, my first semester and it was WELL worth it. Made not having to pick up a drug book alot easier. I love the I Touch.

She's our Nursing I instructor and she' s nice. I believe her Pharm class is set up like Ms. Loftin's was. Ms. Nunez helped to design the class format so you shouldn't have any problems either. Good luck.

Aww Devin!! ~Hugs chica~ :redpinkhe You're very welcome, any time. I loved her class. I agree with Robert, no study group is needed for RNSG 1172, you guys will be like for real Wait until after the 1st test that way you will see how you study, and ...

Hey you guys- I have been checking on you guys every other day :) A good rolling backpack is the one from Target that costs like $40 or the one I have which is a Jansport and it's awesome, I spent $29 at Ross, this backpack usually costs over $100 g...

I believe it's a pass/fail type of thing where you have to get a certain score or above... try searching the Texas forums for Cy-fair Pharm test and some results will pop up. I think you have to score over a 800 or something, I can't really remember...

For you guys wondering if you can transfer Pharm from another school to Cy-fair, the answer is no. Cy-fair will not take credit from another schools Pharm but will administer a Pharm test that is supposedly very hard if you decide to take Pharm anyw...

Hi Erica! Glad to see that you are well! Clinicals have been a blast for me. Our first semester was in long term facilities, this semester I was at Health South. You are doing awesome grade wise, that's great. Wish I could say the same but I'm han...

Congrats to you!! Woohoo

It's $120 a month in our garage. It's the MD Anderson Pressler garage. Across the street from HCC is about the $60 a month price, that sounds about right. When I was working at Memorial Hermann they payed for us to park there (we called it the Blu...

In close proximity, there is no cheaper parking. I work across the street from the Coleman campus at MD Anderson and pay $120 a month to park in a garage. If you want to be close to campus, it will be better to pay the monthly fee because TMC parkin...
