Let the dog and pony show begin.....

The staffing recruiter at the hospital I will be working at said that on any given day that the NCLEX is administered, 20% of the students will be made to take all 265 questions regardless of how they are doing. This is to show validity of the test....

:yeahthat: You can say that again! LOL! Just graduated from there in May. We probably know eachother! :chuckle

Hello, I just move to San Antonio. For neighborhoods, the areas North and Northwest are nice. I currenlty live near Evans Rd and Hwy 281, but we are bulding a home in Bulverde. For starting salary, you are looking at anywhere from $19 to $22 per hour...

LOL! I was just thinking about this. I just got my ATT today and scheduled my test for June 13 (yes-Friday the 13th:no:!). It was the only day available that week (wonder why-LOL!). My ICU internship starts June 16th and I finish the Kaplan revi...

Amen to that!

Pregnancy may or may not be considered a pre-existing condition (depends on the state, hospital and insurance company). The thing that hurts you most right now is that you don't have insurance. They are more likely to cover you if you already had i...

you may need a ppd.. my hospital states they have to have one unless your most recent has been done in the last 3 months. in my opinion, be up front about it. us federal law states that pregnancy cannot be considered a pre-existing condition. but...

Thank you! I start my ICU internship in June and am excited :yeah:and terrified :uhoh21: at the same time. Any advice given is greatly appreciated!:bowingpur

I agree, this area is beuatiful. I live in Smithson Valley area (north of San Antonio). This area has hills and water and is breath taking. Plus the weather is awesome. There are a lot of people moving here from California. Good luck!

You can wear a white scrub jacket at Tomball. You just have to have the patch on the left sleeve. Be careful about too many pockets. I find that I end up filling them with tons of junk and it gets heavy and in the way.

I too just moved to San Antonio and am graduating from Nursing school in Houston (yes, I am commuting to finish ) in May. I have been wondering if BAMC hires non-military nurses. I have been meaning to call them. Is that the military hospital you ...

Ahh! I forgot about that (sorry). Only one of the clinicals did that the first semester. The rest of the other clinicals were at other hospitals in Med/Surg. Not real sure why they did it that way. Take care!

i took dr. greenburg. i don't think she is teaching anymore. she was great. i don't know any of the others. i really enjoyed the program. the last two semester have been a little stressful due to the fact that we lost our entire 2nd year faculty ...

We have the same scrubs as the Montgomery school (white tops with patch on left sleeve, teal pants and white shoes). Someone mentioned that Tomball spends alot of time in LTC. That isn't exactly correct. We are an integrated program which means we...

congratulations!

First and foremost, calm down.....I am graduating from Tomball in 3 weeks . The clinicals are one day a week from 6:30 am to 6:30 pm. You typically have a choice of Mon, Tues, Fri or Sat. Many "Moms" in my class were in the same boat. They simply...

I'm finishing Tomball this May . Congrats on your acceptance! Good luck with your future career. Don't give up, it will be over before you know it!

If you don't mind me asking, where did you apply? Sorry to hear your news. Be strong, don't give up on your dreams. You will succeed!

Here in Texas, you are required to attend at miniumum 144 clinical hours per semester. Which equates to 12 hour clinicals over 12 weeks. My school does 160 hours so you have some time to miss in case of an emergency. Hope this helps!:nuke:

I live in San Antonio (moved here a year ago from Houston) and will have to agree with the others. Anywhere North, Northwest or Northeast is nice. These areas also tend to be pricy, but there are some nice burbs with reasonable prices on houses. We ...

Congrats! Hope your shift went well. Where in Texas are you? I am in San Antonio. I am applying for GN positions in the ICU here.

LOL! Imagine if they went into practice together. I can see it now..... Feely Kutsche and associates!

FYI-I also have a BS from a former life. I'll be finishing my ADN this May. Just to let you know if you already have a BS and have your ADN, you can go straight for your MSN and skip the BSN part. Severa; scools offer this option here in Texas. Y...

HOWDY! Our professor just mentioned using them also. She said they are working on getting them, so not sure if they will even be implemented before the end of the semester. And seeing how I graduate in May, I'm not to worried about it. Thanks for p...
