  1. Anyone done TCU's accelerated BSN?

    lady_db_programmer posted a topic in Texas Nursing

    I was looking at TCU (Texas Christian, in Fort Worth) as a possibility, but it has more pre-reqs than TWU (Texas Women's U, in Denton). On the other hand, it has an accelerated class every year...

  2. Staring into the abyss of education

    lady_db_programmer replied to fiveofpeep's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Do yourself a favor and don't get ahead of yourself. Easier said than done, I know. You need to focus your energy and attention on what's in front of you and what's immediately ahead. I wouldn't...

  3. Anyone done TCU's accelerated BSN?

    lady_db_programmer replied to lady_db_programmer's topic in Texas Nursing

    I already have a BA, so an accelerated BSN is an option. I'm just wondering if a $50k debt burden would be worth it. How much are TCU nurses making right out of

  4. Anyone done TCU's accelerated BSN?

    lady_db_programmer replied to lady_db_programmer's topic in Texas Nursing

    I don't have any student loan debt, but then again I don't want to get myself $50k in the hole if I don't have to. I've heard good things about TCU, but I'm wondering if a BSN from them is worth the...

  5. Staring into the abyss of education

    lady_db_programmer replied to fiveofpeep's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    When you're 18, four years can seem like forever. Trust me, it's not. It goes by in a

  6. money involved in becoming a crna

    lady_db_programmer replied to ccunurse123's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I was going by discovernursing.com's listings. I'm sure they'd love to know about their mistake. Sales tax in DFW is pretty much the highest in the state, though it's a bit lower in SA. Your...

  7. life in AUSTIN Texas

    lady_db_programmer replied to extreme's topic in Texas Nursing

    So's Austin, but my husband and I are going to Dallas...so I probably have some taste issues. I've visited the desert southwest and enjoyed it, but Texas is home and always will be. That's

  8. life in AUSTIN Texas

    lady_db_programmer replied to extreme's topic in Texas Nursing

    Arizona just doesn't blow my skirt up. Doesn't mean it's a bad place...we visited Raleigh-Durham a couple of years ago. It was lovely, and the people were the nicest I'd ever met. I wouldn't want...

  9. money involved in becoming a crna

    lady_db_programmer replied to ccunurse123's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I'm just gonna jump in here...Texas only has two CRNA courses. One is in the DFW area at Texas Wesleyan and it's horrendously expensive tuition-wise. The other is in Houston at UT Health Science...

  10. Dallas/north Texas students, need advice on distance courses

    lady_db_programmer replied to lady_db_programmer's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Thanks for the tips lex. I've decided I'm going to try for Brookhaven's course but I'm also going to do the pre-reqs for TWU's BSN program. I probably won't get them done in time to apply for 2009,...

  11. Dallas/north Texas students, need advice on distance courses

    lady_db_programmer posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I heard from some other people here that you can take a lot of the pre-reqs online or via a distance course in the DCCCD (Dallas County CC District). I took a look at their website and the 100%...

  12. A&P without Bio and Chemistry????

    lady_db_programmer replied to Hope2Be's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm just speaking from experience. For example, UTA lists Anatomy and Physiology I & II as pre-requisites for its BSN nursing sequence but neglects to mention that biology is a pre-requisite. It...

  13. A&P without Bio and Chemistry????

    lady_db_programmer replied to Hope2Be's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Course materials sometimes don't show pre-requisites. Check the university's course catalog; that should have definitive answers on pre-requisites; you may find that biology is

  14. A&P without Bio and Chemistry????

    lady_db_programmer replied to Hope2Be's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    No probs, Jules...I can see where you're coming from. The junior colleges in Dallas allow you to take A&P without bio or chem, but I think it would be a mistake to dive into microbiology or...

  15. A&P without Bio and Chemistry????

    lady_db_programmer replied to Hope2Be's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I would think if someone wants to skip bio and chem, they have a reason. I would guess the reason is one of the following: * Financial constraint. If you're so hard up that you're trying to find ways...

  16. A&P without Bio and Chemistry????

    lady_db_programmer replied to Hope2Be's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Having thumbed through a college-level A&P text, I wouldn't advise taking A&P without at least ONE biology course, and many universities won't let you take it without a semester each of bio...

  17. Delaying Children until after nursing school.

    lady_db_programmer replied to mydee's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    First of all, you're only 25 years old. You have many years of healthy childbearing in front of you. If both you and your husband are not working, you should not have children since you won't have...

  18. Schools with Shorter Length BSN Programs

    lady_db_programmer replied to TurtleDove's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I've never heard of an accelerated BSN program that took non-degree

  19. Dallas/north Texas students, need advice on distance courses

    lady_db_programmer replied to lady_db_programmer's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Or not. It's OK; I'm resourceful, I can figure it out on my own; I just would have liked to save myself the

  20. Has anyone ever had to retake English Comp a second time?

    lady_db_programmer replied to Iwannabeababynurse's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Yes. Talk to the professor about auditing the class. You won't get credit, but it won't affect your GPA either. I audited Italian in college but never received credit for it. Didn't want it; I just...

  21. life in AUSTIN Texas

    lady_db_programmer replied to extreme's topic in Texas Nursing

    I don't know what nurse salaries would be like in Austin but I lived there for six years and it's a great town as long as you're not in the high tech industry. The cost of living is among the...

  22. I got rejected again

    lady_db_programmer replied to nurse2btracy's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Probably; a C counted for 2 grade points where I went to college and if you had 12-16 hours of 4.0 and 3 of 2.0, it could drag your GPA down quite a bit. See if you can retake the math class and...

  23. El Centro students Spring '06

    lady_db_programmer replied to AllyRN82's topic in Texas Nursing

    I'm trying to. I just need to boost my confidence. I looked at UT-Arlington's website again and it turns out they no longer count your cumulative GPA for admission to their BSN program if you have...

  24. Want to be a nurse

    lady_db_programmer replied to hope2beanurse's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    He's never really been a troublemaker, he just has some 'failure to launch' problems. He's 24 and has never lived away from home; I guess that isn't such a horrible thing but the rest of us moved out...

  25. Want to be a nurse

    lady_db_programmer replied to hope2beanurse's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    There's no history of any LD on either side of his family, and he never had trouble in school until he hit high school; I seriously doubt he has a learning disability. He wasn't a troublemaker; he...
