Wow! Wish I would have found this thread earlier!! I live in Hurst and got my packet today, and I got accepted!! Congrats to those who got accepted and good luck to those who find out soon! :)

I'm not much help... but I just wanted to let you know that you're not alone. lol! My stomach gets terribly upset anytime before a test, before performing a skill for the first time in front of my instructor, etc. and I'll have to run to the restroom...

Hi all! What are some good rolling backpacks that you can recommend that are spacious enough, durable, don't fall over due to all the books possibly, etc??? And where'd you buy yours at? Thanks for any help. :)

Yeah, I suppose it depends on your instructor. Through college I was able to use a shoulder bag... but since nursing school, they usually require that we bring most of our books... so I of course bought a rolling backpack. A good 90% of the nursing ...

I regret ever buying my Dansko Professionals... and apparently I'm the only one in this post who disagrees w/ buying them. I've almost twisted my ankle three times w/ them on and they're just way too heavy to walk in. I'll take my Nike Shox any day...

I bought this watch too at WalMart. I found they also have it at Kohls. I fell in love when I saw it just b/c I absolutely love Mickey and Minnie and the fact that she was dressed as a nurse was cute... But there's no way I could wear that watch outs...

Oops.. Didn't realize someone already posted the same thing today. Sorry guys. :)

I keep hearing New Balance are good shoes to buy. I own a pair of Nike Shox and they are sooo comfortable! I'll probably go to the mall to look for some white ones. Just don't buy Dansko Professionals for Women if you even considered maybe buying the...

I've always been good at any type of Math class except Statistics. I took College Algebra online in college and made an easy A b/c I organized my time to finish all of the homework and tests, etc. I kept thinking I was crazy for signing up to take S...

I agree w/ a lot of what bob7rob7 said... but I keep seeing posts saying "Oh, you have to have a 4.0 or close to it to get accepted..." and "you MUST have A's in all of your science classes..." This apparently isn't so with everyone, b/c I was accept...

I took most of my classes at NE campus, and I took a couple online. For Chemistry I had Kucera, but I've also heard Patrick is a really good professor. For A&P I took Pulse over the summer at NE campus, but he mostly teaches over at SE campus. Fo...

It's crazy how much we sound alike on some of these things. I'm book smart as well, but when it comes to actually having to apply the material, I can't seem to do it. I didn't have any experience at all going into nursing either btw. I've never chang...

Congrats on getting through the program!! :) Do you feel like you're well prepared to get out in the real world now?

Hey!! Orientation was alright. I started to doze off on some parts. Oops. But I like my schedule... I have clinical M/W 7-1, Theory T/Th 2:15-4:15, & Skills on Tues morn. I'm excited for school to start! Hope everyone enjoys their summer! :onbch...

I know you're at South, but Matthai at the NE campus is wonderful! I'd recommend him to anybody.

Yeah, any time I know I'm going to take an online class, I sit at my comp until midnight or w/e time registration first starts and sign up for the class. It's crazy how fast they go. But yeah... I would do what txspadequeen921 recommended if you plan...

I got in too!! Woo hoo!!! Congrats guys! See yall at orientation. :)

For help w/ the TEAS test, you can go to www.atitesting.com and click on "Students" and it should say, "Entering Nursing School - TEAS" and you can get the study guide from there or pay for some online practice questions. OR I know some of the TCC ca...

I just discovered this post. How slow am I? It's almost APRIL!!! We should be getting our letters soon!!!!

I had trouble with A&P I... Definitely a lot of memorization! A&P II was much easier for me however... I took Micro w/ Matthai at the NE campus. He is a great professor! I definitely recommend him. Micro was one of my favorite classes actuall...
