  1. have anyone heard back from St. David's new grads program?

    gibson0726 replied to yuchihchih's topic in Texas Nursing

    Thanks for the quick reply and answers to my questions. :) There are a lot of reasons Scott & White is my first choice: Their NICU is in the top 3% for survival in the world. Less babies dying...

    gibson0726 replied to yuchihchih's topic in Texas Nursing

    I'm going to ask you a ton of questions. I want to get into the NICU internship program at Scott & White after graduation in December. Was pediatrics your first choice? When did you apply? What...

  5. Austin Community College (ACC)

    gibson0726 replied to FilipinOOO's topic in Texas Nursing

    I took ******** first semester and I loved her. I think she may not like men, as bad as that sounds. You have to prove to her that you are competent, then she will usually warm up to you. I did notice...

  7. Is anyone else avoiding studying?

    gibson0726 replied to madnurse2b's topic in General Students

    YES! I have a final tomorrow and Wednesday and for the life of me, I cannot focus. I'm not in any danger of failing, but I'm borderline B/C in one class and A/B in the other. I honestly have never...

  8. the "dream" has come to an end

    gibson0726 replied to summersent's topic in General Nursing

    I have been a pharmacy technician for 14 years. It sucks. The job of a pharmacist is much more attractive than that of a tech. At my job, the pharmacists are extremely spoiled and get upset if they...

  9. new student, not what it seems.

    gibson0726 replied to ddr436's topic in General Students

    I don't think that NS is impossibly difficult, rather just extremely time consuming. For me, learning the nursing process with nursing diagnosis was a hard concept to grasp in the beginning. Now, at...

    gibson0726 replied to beccabee's topic in Texas Nursing

    Don't give up hope just yet. Sometimes people defer..I deferred 4 times before I accepted my spot. One semester I didn't get in when the initial letters went out, I was 136/204, they accepted the top...

  12. Might have to quit my job! Need advice

    gibson0726 replied to Lefty Lou's topic in General Students

    You probably need to go to a department that works with student schedules. It is ridiculous to have to jump through these kinds of hoops just to go to summer school. Think about it having to go...

  13. Need a loan but already have a BA in Comm

    gibson0726 replied to phottovy87's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I got my BS 10 years ago and was told I was not eligible for any subsidized/unsubsidized loans because I am enrolled in a community college nursing program. I filled out the FAFSA and was denied...

  14. HELP!! solve math problem

    gibson0726 replied to GipsGrl's topic in General Nursing

    I wonder if they are asking for mg/ml and everything else is there to distract you? 600mg/4ml = 150mg/ml Oh, and my nursing school taught us that cc is no longer acceptable due to it being so easily...

  15. Can I get my last name changed on License?

    gibson0726 replied to newtress's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    When I got divorced, I had it put in my divorce papers that I wanted to go back to my maiden name. I went to the Social Security office first, then changed my drivers license. After that, I made a...

    gibson0726 replied to pink2blue1's topic in General Nursing

    I am a second year nursing student and I absolutely HATE putting my nurse in the position you were put in. I know that the nurses on the unit have 4-5 patients, therefore they do not have time to...

  17. I get special priviledges in clinical !

    gibson0726 replied to NurseLoveJoy88's topic in General Students

  19. Do any of you feel that you will not like a career in nursing?

    gibson0726 replied to iceangelred86's topic in General Students

    I have feeling of dread sometimes while sitting in the hospital parking lot before clinicals. Will I hate being a nurse? Absolutely not. But I can honestly say that there are certain areas of nursing...

  20. Austin Community College (ACC)

    gibson0726 replied to FilipinOOO's topic in Texas Nursing

    I'm in Level 3 right now, which I must admit is 100% easier than level 1! Level 1 is INCREDIBLY time consuming. You have class 2 days per week (4 hours each day), lab on another day for about 4 hours,...
