  1. Question about NP/DNP

    jla623 replied to jla623's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    You know, I'm not exactly sure. I'm looking for all of the advice that I can get. I just know that I am not very interested in working with children. So what does that leave? ANP and ACNP? I...

  2. Question about NP/DNP

    jla623 replied to jla623's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    Then I guess I better make the right choice because I will be stuck with what I get! I graduate in May and I am going to immediately apply to an RN-Masters program, but I will do it on a part-time...

  3. Question for recent grads!

    jla623 posted a topic in First Year After Licensure

    I graduate next Spring and I just have a few questions for those of you that have or are currently going through a new grad internship program. 1. Was it competitive for the spot? How many other...

  4. Question for recent grads!

    jla623 replied to jla623's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Thank you so much for your help! I agree with you about the med/surg thing. I know myself and I know FOR A FACT that I would be bored with it and dislike it a great deal. I want to do something...

  5. Starting school in August and need surgery!

    jla623 replied to mrs obie's topic in General Students

    I would go ahead and get it out of the way. I had surgery and missed a week of school in May-June. I know that isn't a lot compared to your recovery, but I would assume you can still atleast attend...

  6. Having a boyfriend while in nursing school....

    jla623 replied to sheridan3456's topic in General Students

    Plenty of people do it. Granted, it is harder when you are in nursing school, but it's possible. They just need to be supportive of you and not get upset when you have to stay in and study. I do...

  7. Is there some sort of Nurse/Med student rivalry?

    jla623 replied to ThatPoshGirl's topic in General Nursing

    I had to quit going to that forum because it irritates me so much. I think a lot of that med student arrogance goes away after they are put in their place and experience the real world in clinicals....

  8. Brookhaven/Mountainview

    jla623 replied to sitesonRN's topic in General Students

    Wow yours is completely different from ours. But you guys graduate at the end of the summer right? How

  9. Brookhaven/Mountainview

    jla623 replied to sitesonRN's topic in General Students

    1st semester mine was 3 days a week. 2nd semester it is split up. Lecture/Skills for the 1st half of the summer (2 days a week) and 2nd half of the summer is clinical 3 days a

  10. Brookhaven/Mountainview

    jla623 replied to sitesonRN's topic in General Students

    Yeah we are taking those 3. I guess the schedule they have posted is wrong. It has to be. It just seems like 1st and 2nd semester (even with skills lab) were relatively easy as far as hours on campus...

  11. Brookhaven/Mountainview

    jla623 replied to sitesonRN's topic in General Students

    Can anyone tell me how 3rd semester, as far as the level of difficulty, compared to the other semesters? Which one is the hardest? It just seems so overwhelming to have 3 different lectures and 3...

  12. Post-Masters Certificate question

    jla623 posted a topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    If I were to obtain my Masters degree in an RN-MS program, would I be able to get my Post-MS Certificate at another school? Is that a common thing to do? I just really want to get my Masters at the...

  13. How many have to take/have taken HESI?

    jla623 replied to futureRNJaz's topic in General Students

    I have to take it too.....it makes me kind of nervous. Is it just like the NCLEX?? I don't really know that much about

  14. Moving home with the parents for school- better than debt?

    jla623 replied to cherubhipster's topic in General Nursing

    I had trouble with the whole financial thing and I live with my boyfriend as well. Even though my family situation is probably more desirable than yours, I still wouldn't (and didn't) leave my life...

  15. How hard is First semester in Nursing school?

    jla623 replied to Pinkster's topic in General Nursing

    Then I think you have made up your mind! I think the whole driving thing would get old pretty quick. The first choice just seems SO much better even though you may have to work a little harder. I'm...

  16. How hard is First semester in Nursing school?

    jla623 replied to Pinkster's topic in General Nursing

    That is a tough one. I think it would be very difficult to take two additional classes. I think you could get by with one, but two is pushing it. I know my first semester was very hard and there is...

  17. Brookhaven

    jla623 replied to Pynkdrops's topic in Texas Nursing

    Yes, take all or most of your pre-reqs and get the HESI study guide in the bookstore. I know they have it at the off-campus one. Your HESI score is the bulk of your

  18. Brookhaven/Mountainview

    jla623 replied to sitesonRN's topic in General Students

    I took it during the summer also, but I took it online. It wasn't bad at all. It would be if it were just 4 weeks though....I can't even imagine

  19. Eww white uniforms??

    jla623 replied to jla623's topic in General Students

    Hahaha! It looks like one of those karate outfits, except in dress

  20. Brookhaven/Mountainview Dallas County Texas

    jla623 replied to coolpeach's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Ok I guess they were talking about Mountain View. She talked as if it were Brookhaven. I can't believe they are doing that...It seems like all of the teachers talk about retiring. I wonder which...

  21. Scared Of Poop!!!!!!!!! Help!!!!!!!

    jla623 replied to nursingstudent424's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I have the same sentiments toward poop and I was scared to death of it. Fortunately I semi-got-over-it. I am in my first semester and on my SECOND day of clinical I had to assist 3 others in giving a...

  22. Brookhaven/Mountainview Dallas County Texas

    jla623 replied to coolpeach's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Oh yeah and they told us that Brookhaven wasn't admitting a new class until then. They didn't say anything about Mountainview. This is just what one of the teachers

  23. Brookhaven/Mountainview Dallas County Texas

    jla623 replied to coolpeach's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    That is all true, they told us last week that the next class won't start until Fall 09, which I don't understand because everyone will have graduated by then. I am not sure what is going on. I know...

    jla623 replied to sitesonRN's topic in General Students

    I got Medical City and we actually got to be on the Oncology

  25. Crocs and the clinical workplace?

    jla623 replied to JesseInezRN's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    I don't think that they are very safe to wear in a hospital and I think they are kind of
