  4. Info On UT Houston

    As far as "is the program good"? Well UT-Houston has one of the top programs in the nation. It's Doctorate and Masters programs are ranked in the (I believe) top 10%. As far as the BSN programs, it...
  5. Where are you trying to go? Do you want to do an ADN program at one of the community colleges (HCC, Lone Star College, San Jac, etc)? Or are you trying to get in to the BSN programs in the area...
  6. EMT-B while waiting for ADN?

    Hey, some of the best medics I've worked with are older. They picked up the EMT/paramedic thing as something to do after retirement. As long as you are phsyically capable of doing the job, then I...

  8. Did RNs Have To Practice Bathing Each Other In NS

    when you use phrases like "as evidenced by" in everyday conversation... when you make nursing diagnosis jokes on a regular basis (like "altered level of conciousness r/t studying for exams AEB laying...
  10. What Was Your Gpa???

    From what I've seen, it seems to me that the interview and NET scores were the saving grace with a lot of people. Besides, in my opinion, GPA isn't the best measure of who will survive nursing school...
  11. University of Texas (Houston)

    Well for the record, I'm in the general BSN program at UT Houston. That being said, I don't know that much about the bacc-2 program. But from what I've heard, it seems like most of the people who...
  12. Shopping for Fall 08

    Shoes depend on your clinical instructor. For the most part, they're all pretty much okay with anything as long as the shoes are mostly white and aren't canvass. As far as clogs go, the only...
  13. Congrats!! Well I don't really know that much about the accelerated program except that I have mad respect for everyone in it! If you get the chance, get involved at school with the organizations....

  16. Twu Houston Housing?

    I hate to tell you this, but housing in the Med Center can SUCK for a student. It is expensive, so us poor college kids tend to clump together in the not-so-nice apartments. But in all honesty, the...
  17. University of Texas (Houston)

    Hey, just wanted to say that I live (well technically past tense now since I'm moving to the med center this week!) in Spring, so yeah I know the commute sucks! Plenty of people who live in Spring,...
  18. I know this post is a little late, as I'm sure you've heard from those schools by now. But I was just curious as to if any of you got in to UT-houston and was planning on attending this fall? Just...
  19. What Was Your Gpa???

    I go to UT-Houston School of Nursing and LOVE IT! My gpa was 3.8, with a 4.0 for the science classes. The lowest gpa I know of is 3.6. Keep your grades up and try to get the best gpa you can. A...
  20. Things you would LOVE to say to your nursing instructors...

    1) If you have to look up the answers for the example questions you gave us, understand that we need to look it up too. 2) Don't offer to whole class to look over papers before they are due if you...
