There was a Hesi A2 exam study book in the library that I made photocopies of at North Harris Community College to study with. I graduated high school in 2003, and it reminded me a lot like the TAAS math & writing tests we had to take. If you can...

Awesome article! I graduated in 2008 with a BS in Kinesiology-Exercise Science. A few of my professors asked me if I ever considered applying into the Master's program. I originally wanted to apply to physical therapy school but had a change in passi...

Try walking in the shoes of many new graduates across Texas and the rest of the country. I was a May 2010 new graduate and applied in Houston, Waco, Wichita Falls, Dallas, San Antonio, Midland-Odessa, Fort Worth, El Paso, Harlingen, McAllen, Austin, ...

Doctor's Hospital lol

Well said!

I'm sorry if this makes you feel bad, but a lot of new graduates are having a tough time finding Residency Programs. I was lucky enough to get one 2 months after graduation. A newly hired Echo-Tech was working on my patient and realized I was a new n...

Hey, I applied for the UTA RN-BSN program starting this January. I haven't received any letters in the mail yet. Let me know if you get accepted or not :-)

@ Saysfaa - I graduated from an ADN program this past May 2010 and am in the process of applying to a RN-BSN program that starts January 2011. I am halfway through my 18 week ICU residency/internship at a major hospital in my city. Many of my co-work...

Took it today at 2pm, and it shut off at 75 questions at 3pm. Got on my computer at home at 4pm, saw the delivery successful status, and received the good pop-up. I'm still a bit shaken up and worried though...

You'll do fine. I think it is true that your strong point is that you are an internal candidate. If I were you, I would bring up the fact how much you continue to love working at that facility and would like to continue to grow/flourish within. Dress...

Don't do it, seriously.

Does that mean ANA and TNA should be renamed to ARNA & TRNA?

Have you tried diploma, ADN, BSN, or accelerated BSN programs?

I concur.

Pretty interesting switch from law to nursing. I'm currently sitting in my very last lecture of my ADN program (4th semester) right now, and we have a guest speaker who was initially a nurse, attended law school, and deals with medical malpractice no...

It is kind of sad but very true these days. I wish people did not have to feel this way.

Oh my gosh... the sound of paying $20,000 for a 1 year LVN program makes me cringe... I'm paying roughly $600 for each of my 4 semesters at my community college for their ADN program (no waiting list). If you add $600 worth of used books for the enti...

Is this because fewer patients are insured or shorter length of stay in the hospital?

I'm not sure about the exact laws, but I once had a Medical Assistant "attempt" to draw my blood. I needed a varicella titer done for my RN program this summer and went to a RediClinic located inside a HEB grocery store in Houston, Texas. I thought t...

It's actually not-so bad to go through an ADN program. I actually have a bachelor's degree from UH and went straight into an ADN program the semester after graduating. Though I'm not getting any younger, I don't feel the rush to finish an intensive p...

UH-Victoria offers the RN-BSN, Accelerated BSN, MSN, and RN-MSN program. -Paul :-)

I hope everyone and their families in Houston are doing fine and with power (if not hopefully soon). -Paul :-)

I have both an Dell Axim x30 high (624 mhz) and a Cingular 8525 cellphone (pda/phone combo). I bought my Dell Axim for my undergraduate degree 2 years ago when I used to carry just a regular cell-phone. It was such a hassle to carry both. The size of...

I'm not sure why you would want to know if a ranking of Texas nursing schools for other than pride and/or ego boost... Are you looking for ranking by cost of program (best bang for your buck), NCLEX pass-rate, least drop-out rate, highest new graduat...

Is the "shortage of nurses" we hear about always more in rural areas and not in cities such as Houston? I've been wondering about this. -Paul
