    Thanks!!

  2. TWU vs UTHSC (accelerated programs)

    ACKrissy replied to BrittRN2b's topic in Texas Nursing

    I dont know anything about UT but... I agree with horus2001- the 12 months is way too fast. I am in a "regular program", and can barely keep up with that. I cant imagine doing 2x the work! The...

    ACKrissy replied to ACKrissy's topic in Texas Nursing

    Thanks! Is it the same for techs,

  4. need help--how to finance a 2nd degree!?

    ACKrissy replied to premedturnednursing's topic in Texas Nursing

    I feel your pain! I also am getting my second degree, and I was shocked when I found out I couldnt get any loan money or scholarships!! My first problem is since it's a second degree, and it's not a...

  5. Thoracotomy

    ACKrissy posted a topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I have a dumb question. My patient I had a few days ago had a thorocotomy on his right side. After the surgery, he was immediately sent to the ICU, where I got to do a few things, but then I had to...

  6. Thoracotomy

    ACKrissy replied to ACKrissy's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Yes, I have. They talk about a thorocotamy in general, but not much about post-op stuff. ...So I am very informed on how the procedure is preformed, but I dont quite understand how the chest tubes...

  7. TWU Fast Track Program

    ACKrissy replied to AggieNurse2B's topic in Texas Nursing

    When I found out, it was via snail mail. They didn't update anything on the computer (pioneer portal) until the day of orientation. I know for my semester, they told us the end of February, then sent...

  8. TWU Fast Track Program

    ACKrissy replied to AggieNurse2B's topic in Texas Nursing

    I wasnt able to when I applied (a year ago), but that could have changed. They told me we had to wait for the

  9. TWU Fast Track Program

    ACKrissy replied to AggieNurse2B's topic in Texas Nursing

    As far as the NET test goes: All I did was order that little book that the NET test company sells. I thought it helped

  10. TWU Fast Track Program

    ACKrissy replied to AggieNurse2B's topic in Texas Nursing

    Yeah, it was difficult to get into. I was lucky and had a really good GPA...so I got in. I would think a 3.9 would be fine! Just try your hardest, do well on the admissions test, and you'll get in!...

  11. TWU Fast Track Program

    ACKrissy replied to AggieNurse2B's topic in Texas Nursing

    It's always good to have a contingency plan! I had one, too :) I am in the regular program, so if you have any questions about that, feel free to ask me! I don't know if the fast track is easier to...

  12. TWU Fast Track Program

    ACKrissy replied to AggieNurse2B's topic in Texas Nursing

    I *believe* the fast-track program only starts in the summer or maymester.. it isn't like the other traditional nursing program that accepts new classes every spring and fall. I am 90% sure this...

  13. Baylor, Irving, Tx

    ACKrissy replied to gonzo1's topic in Texas Nursing

    I know it's late, but I am pretty sure they do. All the RNs I see there have white on. I agree- bad

  14. Texas Women's University

    ACKrissy replied to Mnstn's topic in Texas Nursing

    So did you go to TWU in Houston or Dallas? I didn't think they had transition classes at TCH in Dallas. I LOVE TCH and think I may want to work there

  15. Trying to pick a city:Houston, Dallas, or Austin?

    ACKrissy replied to nimbus2004's topic in Texas Nursing

    So which hospitals in these 3 cities are the best for new grads?? Any

  16. Computer charting-what do you think?

    ACKrissy replied to RNperdiem's topic in General Nursing

    I think it depends how long you have been in the field. I am still in nursing school, and the first hospital I was at had computer charting. At the time, I thought I didnt like it and saw a few...

    ACKrissy replied to may8755's topic in General Students

    :yeahthat: haha, I love it! So

  18. "Too smart" to be a nurse

    ACKrissy replied to may8755's topic in General Students

    I have had the same thing happen. I wish it wasn't the case. A lot of my peers from my first college look down on me b/c I am in nursing school (most people went to med school instead). It's hard,...

  19. Texas Women's University

    ACKrissy replied to Mnstn's topic in Texas Nursing

    Your welcome! Let me know if you have any other questions! NICU is what I think I want to do, too!

  20. Texas Women's University

    ACKrissy replied to Mnstn's topic in Texas Nursing

    Did you go right into the NICU from TWU, or did you transfer there

  21. Texas Women's University

    ACKrissy replied to Mnstn's topic in Texas Nursing

    Yes, I like it for the most part. No school is perfect, but overall I think I am learning a lot! They just changed the curiculum, and my class is the first class on the "new plan", so things are a...

  22. TWU Fast Track Program

    ACKrissy replied to AggieNurse2B's topic in Texas Nursing

    Hmm, very weird. I talked to someone last January, and she told me the cut-off was around a 3.8. Maybe they had a few people not accept their invitation and they ended up going further down? I...

  23. TWU Fast Track Program

    ACKrissy replied to AggieNurse2B's topic in Texas Nursing

    I heard the last year's fast track cut-off GPA was around a 3.8. I hear it's difficult, but doable! Best of luck

  24. I need help from TWU students

    ACKrissy replied to Polska's topic in Texas Nursing

    Yeah, it's just the nursing pre-req classes, but some of the pre-req classes are 2 semesters of history, government, micro, A&P, etc...not just the science

    ACKrissy replied to Mnstn's topic in Texas Nursing

    I am in the program right now! Let me know what questions you have, and I'll be more than happy to let you know about
