  1. Buying a house in Houston, Texas

    horus2001 replied to nurse_in_me's topic in Texas Nursing

  2. Considering Texas

    horus2001 replied to NYSNOWBUNNY007's topic in Texas Nursing

    houston is more competitive. there are so many hospitals in the medical center area alone with a new one (baylor) opening in a few years. there are also hospitals all over the suburbs (woodlands,...

  3. TWU vs UTHSC (accelerated programs)

    horus2001 replied to BrittRN2b's topic in Texas Nursing

  7. University of Texas (Houston)

    horus2001 replied to poboy31's topic in Texas Nursing

  8. TWU vs UTHSC (accelerated programs)

    horus2001 replied to BrittRN2b's topic in Texas Nursing

  9. TWU vs UTHSC (accelerated programs)

    horus2001 replied to BrittRN2b's topic in Texas Nursing

  10. TWU vs UTHSC (accelerated programs)

    horus2001 replied to BrittRN2b's topic in Texas Nursing

    horus2001 replied to poboy31's topic in Texas Nursing

    Some words of advice: be flexible work in groups just because some of your fellow students are not young, attractive and fit does not mean they don't have something to contribute. look past the bias...

    horus2001 replied to lexielexy's topic in Texas Nursing
