  1. No jobs...Seriously reconsider nursing school

    Cleopf01 replied to Cleopf01's topic in Texas Nursing

    I would rather they know now rather than later. You and others who would prefer to blissfully ignore the reality of the "nursing shortage," can also take a blind eye to my thread. You want my advice?...

  2. No jobs...Seriously reconsider nursing school

    Cleopf01 replied to Cleopf01's topic in Texas Nursing

    You are so right! Can you believe Houston is getting another BSN nursing school? University of St. Thomas is reopening their nursing program (from the 50s). For a mere $832 PER HOUR, "you too can be a...

  3. No jobs...Seriously reconsider nursing school

    Cleopf01 replied to Cleopf01's topic in Texas Nursing

    Don't shoot the messenger. Students have a right to know the reality they're facing, so that they can make intelligent decisions. It's a pity, you're not on board with this. It's tough to hear that...

  4. No jobs...Seriously reconsider nursing school

    Cleopf01 replied to Cleopf01's topic in Texas Nursing

    Nursing shortage??? Ha!! Nursing schools tout "nursing shortage" to make money. And of course, why wouldn't hospitals want a huge selection of nurses to choose from? With the high number of graduates...

  5. Does Houston need another nursing school? University of St. Thomas plans on opening

    Cleopf01 replied to Cleopf01's topic in Texas Nursing

    I'm glad we're in agreement here. I will say, I'm a little disappointed that my thread was moved to the nursing programs. My target audience was meant for new grads, since they are more apt to see the...

  6. anyone in the TWU or A&M Prairie View BSN program?

    Cleopf01 replied to trishajlee's topic in Texas Nursing

    UTHSC-Houston is the top nursing school in Texas. It's ranked #21 in the nation. Compare that to the other schools in Houston. TWU is #56. Prairie View is #295. I encourage you to stick it out. First...

  7. Thinking about nursing and have some questions

    Cleopf01 replied to ConsideringBSN/MSN's topic in Texas Nursing

  8. Thinking about nursing and have some questions

    Cleopf01 replied to ConsideringBSN/MSN's topic in Texas Nursing

    Do you know if they have information available regarding gpas, test scores, etc. of their admitted students? UT won't factor in your law school gpa. They do factor in your pre-requisite gpa,...

  9. Thinking about nursing and have some questions

    Cleopf01 replied to ConsideringBSN/MSN's topic in Texas Nursing

    Sorry, I really don't know any UT alum or Houston nurses. I didn't mean to ask you for personal details--- I just wanted to know why the law isn't for you anymore... I suppose I just wanted to see if...

  10. Thinking about nursing and have some questions

    Cleopf01 replied to ConsideringBSN/MSN's topic in Texas Nursing

    I can't answer your questions, but I feel like I can relate a little bit. I dropped out of law school (mid way-thru) this past December to pursue nursing. I also clerked for a law firm for 3 years....

    Cleopf01 posted a topic in Texas Nursing

    http://www.chron.com/disp/story.mpl/health/6934344.html Does Houston really need another nursing program? Now don't get me wrong, I graduated from St. Thomas, and it's a wonderful school. However, I...

  12. Reopening of University of Thomas Nursing Program

    Cleopf01 replied to Cleopf01's topic in Texas Nursing

    SerenePeach, I completely agree with you. Judging from the enormous student loans I still have, you're right, the program will be extremely expensive. I wish there was something we could do to stop...
