1. What are your uniforms like?

   SuBeat replied to EmilyCCRN's topic in General Students

   White scrub top with burgandy pants, white athletic or nursing shoes (no clogs). Lab coats for pre-clinical days. Not bad really and pretty comfortable too.

2. Did you have to pay for a criminal background check?

   SuBeat replied to fnimat1's topic in General Students

   We had to have our criminal background check done before orientation last April. The cost depended on how many places you had lived in the past 7 years. Mine was only $32, another woman complained that hers was over $200! We were told the check wa...

   SuBeat replied to nurseboudin's topic in Texas

   I don't mind a bit. I think the fact that we can prepare each other is one of the best perks of this board. Susan

4. Nursing study groups - anyone NOT find them helpful?

   SuBeat replied to RedSox33RN's topic in General Students

   I am so happy to hear that I'm not the only one who prefers to study alone. I've read so many posts declaring how indispensible these groups can be that I was more than a little worried. Not only do I study better alone, but the idea of trying to s...

   SuBeat replied to nurseboudin's topic in Texas

   I start the program in 2 weeks. I'm taking all the classes above, plus my multicultural studies req. That adds up to 19 hours of nerve wracking fun. I'll let you know how good/bad it is....if I can still form coherent sentences! Susan

6. How Many Books and HOW MUCH $$$$$

   SuBeat replied to Rivs's topic in General Students

   I've spent between $400-500 on just the 7 required books. There are also 4 more recommended that I estimate will cost $250-300. I'm still trying to decide how many of those I'm really going to need. They all sound important enough to buy, but I wo...

7. Wow....uniform costs!?!?!?

   SuBeat replied to LindseyLou2222's topic in General Students

   You all have me feeling pretty good about the price of our uniforms. Each uniform set (top and bottom) only cost me $30 and the lab coat was $25.

8. The truth about Depo

   SuBeat replied to HisTreasure's topic in General Students

   I took depo for 2 years. I had one period the month after my first shot, and not another until 9 months after my last shot. It took an additional 9 months after that to get pregnant. I won't get into the amount of weight I gained. I wouldn't do...

9. Intro to Statistics on the web?

   SuBeat replied to alexillytom's topic in General Students

   One of the first classes I took when I returned to school was an online statistics class. Be prepared to devote a lot of time to learning the material and working the homework problems. There are times I struggled with it, but I managed to come out...

    SuBeat replied to PCGrad06's topic in General Students

    Nursing Assessment, nursing therapeutic techniques, pharmacology, cultural issues in health care, pathophysiology, and the nursing experience. That's 19 hours total. Is there room in that corner for 2?

12. What would you do?

    SuBeat replied to grapejuice01's topic in General Students

    I've been accepted to TWU-Dallas for the fall semester. The minimum GPA for admission was a 3.7, I've heard it was higher for Houston. Unfortunately, you just can't predict that cutoff point ahead of time, it could go lower or higher depending on t...
