Pay attention in class. The teacher will mention specific answers or what will ask for sure. I still read the chapters and she did have some questions from the book that where not mentioned in her notes or the review she gave us. I just bought the st...

Never let anyone tell you can't be something you know you want to be. I have always been introverted and hate talking to strangers but can't imagine doing anything other than nursing. My very first clinical instructor told me she didn't think I would...

For those who took theory at dallas, do we really need all the required textbooks? The teacher wants us to get the most recent edition of the book which i can't find anywhere.

Yes, UTA requires at least 2 years of experience. TWU requires one year before you start your clinicals. So you could still be accepted and take the initial classes like theory, patho etc while you finish up that one year of RN experience. Everyone I...

Both TWU and UT Arlington allow you to go to NP school part or full time. Their classes are both online and on campus. I'll be starting at TWU this January and any classes on campus meet once a week. I'm pretty sure this is the same for UT Arlington....

I emailed the advisor. She said orientation is November 12, and that we should be getting a letter about it this week (: What specialty will you be doing your NP? @Princess_WannaBe

Anyone starting the TWU NP program at Dallas Spring 2014? Just got a simple accepted letter telling me to contact the advisor (who I'm sure I should really be asking) but anyone know if there's any in person orientation? I would love to go to school ...

I have a question for TWU NP students/graduates: If you're accepted into a specialty like FNP do they let you switch to a different specialty? Or is it permanent

oh wait... that's every week. Nonetheless, bless us all and all we do (:

My uncle has liver cancer and according to the Doctor "a couple weeks" to live. He does not have insurance, obviously doesn't work anymore, and doesn't qualify for anything because he is 62. My sister and I have been relentlessly calling hospices her...

My first shift on my own as a newgrad. A code black: moving every patient/bed/IV pole/02tank into the hallway because of a potential tornado. One patient in the hallway demanded his night-time medicine right then and there. NBD two other patients nee...

I use my old worn out sperrytopsiders. After trying numerous old running shoes these are the only pair that don't make my feet hurt. I will be a lost soul when they finally need to retire : p

Practise questions!

Just realized there are probably tons of threads with my question : p Any advice is still appreciated though (:

I know TWU's FNP program requires one year of experience as a RN and UTA requires two years. What do you guys think? Is one year even enough?

mannan03, I didn't specify which position. I would prefer days but I'd like to stay in Dallas. Nevertheless, 'beggars can't be choosers'... Where did you get your offer? Are you still waiting for different opportunities.

mannan03, congrats! I applied to the Baylor NICU internship too but you seem to be slightly ahead (: I have a phone interview with HR, any tips? Did you have a face to face interview with the nurse manager after?

For the hospitals does everyone's status say "routed"? I edited my application and now it says applied. Hope it doesn't effect if the managers can see my application /:

If you have already been accepted to TWU I would not wait longer just to apply to UTA. I graduated from UTA. It was a good program but, I don't see any difference between the two. The smart hospital was just okay, we had simulations on dummies but as...

Not true. In my last year of nursing school we were led to believe that unless you had experience as a tech or nurse extern you would never get a job offer as an RN, also not true. The main thing is you won't necessarily get the job on the floor you ...

Has anyone received any response for the October 2011 cohort?

Working in the NICU in Austin is my dream job, did you do anything different the second time applying? I'm currently working in a different city on a different floor with less than 1 year of experience but I'm applying to the October cohort? Any tips...

Hello! I'm sorry if there's any confusion but I'm actually still a senior in high school. I'm really interested in this nursing major and I really want to become a neonatal nurse practitioner but I guess that's still a while for me! Anyhow I'm not su...
