    violingirl replied to nina9's topic in General Students

    I had applied to several places in Minneapolis... thinking about moving up there. I just got a call today saying that they're not hiring any new grads this year at Children's... because of the...

  2. Too young to be a nurse?

    violingirl replied to guiltysins's topic in General Students

    I'll be 19 with my RN this year... I kind of like being the baby of the class. =P But yeah, don't let people run over you because of your age. Just think... the earlier we start the more we can learn!...

  3. Southeast Baptist Hospital

    violingirl replied to chocolateskye's topic in Texas Nursing

    Anything downtown and south of downtown is just kind of that way. I'm not sure about Northeast Methodist area... that's off of 35 and topperwein. Southeast is getting computer charting I think this...

  4. Southeast Baptist Hospital

    violingirl replied to chocolateskye's topic in Texas Nursing

    Southeast Baptist is pretty small and old. The DON there is super nice though... Supposedly they're building a new hospital down there eventually. I had one of my clinical rotations there but I was...

  5. Former Baptist students?

    violingirl replied to myrose's topic in Texas Nursing

    Externships are easy to get if you get one right after the semester ends and the grads have given up their extern positions. They're hard to get a few weeks into the semester. It being a diploma is no...

  6. Don't Rain On My Parade ....2009 Grads

    violingirl replied to AnalegnaRN's topic in General Students

  7. Baptist School of Health Professions vs. SAC

    violingirl replied to texasmommy's topic in Texas Nursing

    Baptist is actually getting it changed over so the students will be rewarded with an associates degree by graduation. I'm not sure when exactly it will be changed, but I graduate in May of 09 and they...

  8. Age you will/were graduated?

    violingirl replied to sweetiez's topic in General Students

    I graduate in May '09 with my RN and I'll be

  9. Anyone LOSE WEIGHT in nursing school?

    violingirl replied to happydays352's topic in General Students

    Yeah, I've lost weight so far. Probably from moving away from mom's home food and also being more active than I used to be running around to classes and clinicals and all. And I think stress makes me...

  10. Waiting.........

    violingirl replied to Kare117's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Way to go!! Awesome! =) Isn't it exciting?! I can't wait to get started.

  11. Are we all old???

    violingirl replied to np_wannabe's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm 17. Finished with my prereqs and coreqs and starting nursing school (2 year diploma program) this fall. So I guess I'll be a 19 year old RN.

  12. San Antonio

    violingirl replied to cjane's topic in Texas Nursing

    No, they don't do waiting lists. They count up your "points" due to GPA on prereqs and score on the NET and figure it out that way somehow. I was accepted first time. The NET study guide can be...

  13. San Antonio

    violingirl replied to cjane's topic in Texas Nursing

    I'm starting there this fall. I was grandfathered in under the old academic plan and tuition and some books were quoted to me at about $10,000. They ARE revamping it though so it'll probably change....

  14. What are YOU taking Fall semester?

    violingirl replied to serendipity123's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Nursing classes!! I'm so excited I still can't quite believe it!

  15. Net testing

    violingirl replied to jaymom2b's topic in Texas Nursing

    I didn't use a study guide... but there is one that the makers of the test put out thats supposed to be good. There are also some online links in the pre-nursing student forum to free study guides....

  16. Waiting.........

    violingirl replied to Kare117's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Thanks! I really hope you get in too. Keep us posted.

    violingirl replied to Kare117's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm in!!!! The lady from financial aid called me today and told me.... said I'd probably get $1300 a semester too in a scholarship based on GPA. I'm SOOO EXCITED!! Official letters go out next Friday....

  18. hesi test for entry in RN program

    violingirl replied to ohmeowzer RN's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I took the HESI A2 a few weeks ago... the entrance test. It's not bad at all. The study guide you can buy covers it all pretty well. We did math, reading, A&P, personality, and learning styles. I...

  19. Physiology ONLY Summer 2007

    violingirl replied to livinglighthouse's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    My school had just anatomy and just physiology. I took anatomy last summer 5.5 weeks and physio this past spring. There's so much overlap though that it's kinda weird... I still learned physio in...

  20. Which Instrument Should I Pick?

    violingirl replied to Pumpkin1621's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Classical violin all the way. I've been playing it since I was 5 and LOVE it! It's so fun and satisfying. I *have* put a lot of time into it though already... I was very competitive when it came to...

  21. A&P II Club, 2007

    violingirl replied to CuriousMe's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Yay I got an A!!!! Grades were just posted last night. I'm SO excited! I was REALLY close and the way the prof had it set up it was impossible to figure out my exact grade. But I just did all the work...

  22. NET test tonight!

    violingirl replied to jrwoodall79's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I got my NET results in exactly one week. I was kinda surprised... because they told me at least 2. Hope yours come

  23. Best study advice for A&P

    violingirl replied to coopman712's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Open lab for Anatomy. For me repetition is the key... naming bones, muscles and whatnot on the models again and again.. Especially those skull bones. Flashcards are awesome too, but I used those more...

  24. Microbiology

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

    We had Intro to Micro which was kinda a combination of general and medical. I LOVED that class. It was so

  25. My Theory on 8-week classes

    violingirl replied to treeguy's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I totally agree. 16 week semesters are WAY too long! This last one especially was just a drag. I like to get things over with. :-P I took anatomy in 5.5 weeks and it was a tad short for that much...
