  1. El Centro / North Lake - what is going on??

    ProudRN2B replied to all4ofus's topic in Texas Nursing

    I know it's easy to get discouraged but keep your head up, the reward is great in the end. Out of the craziness, I do think it will make me a better nurse. Our motto was, if we can handle ECC, we can...

  2. El Centro / North Lake - what is going on??

    ProudRN2B replied to all4ofus's topic in Texas Nursing

    The NCLEX was made more difficult in April of this year. However, I do think the disorganization of the program, lack of concern/care of the students and having to learn the material all on your own...

    ProudRN2B replied to Ilovethe80s's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    So far everyone I know who has done the PVT trick, it worked for them. Everyone also left feeling the way you do and they all ended up passing. Good

  6. What are the best study guides for RN program?

    ProudRN2B replied to adinawollner's topic in General Students

    I used the Fundamentals of Success the first semester. It was just a book of questions but very helpful. Also, I love the reviews and rationales books. They have just one big NCLEX R&R book that...

    ProudRN2B replied to gobananas15's topic in Texas Nursing

    Sorry to hear that. Just keep in good with the recruiter so she'll keep you in the mind for other positions. Hopefully you'll get an L&D interview soon. At least you have an idea of questions that...

  8. parkland jan 2011 residency

    ProudRN2B replied to gobananas15's topic in Texas Nursing

    Gobananas15, just curious, how did they inform you that you did not get the position? E-mail, call? And don't get discouraged. Sometimes the things we want in life are not the right things for us, it...

  9. What kind of attitude does a nursing student need to succeed?

    ProudRN2B replied to Despareux's topic in General Students

    I agree with the previous post, for sure! Also be adaptable. At least in our program, they change things last minute and expect you to know the changes without them telling you. You can not...

  12. El Centro 3rd semester

    ProudRN2B replied to ProudRN2B's topic in Texas Nursing

    Mimi_P, you won't believe it but I think the tegritys had to be redone. The LVN/Bridge people were told they got lost when they switch to the new ecampus so they had to be redone. I doubt the quality...

  13. El Centro 3rd semester

    ProudRN2B replied to ProudRN2B's topic in Texas Nursing

    Thanks. that's what I was worried about. I felt second semester was way too easy so I figured this one would be hard. Are there any tegrities on the first test? So far they haven't posted anything....

  14. El Centro....Pharmocology not requried?

    ProudRN2B replied to NewCareer78's topic in Texas Nursing

    I agree, take all the support courses before. Nursing school is a whole new experience. I can tell you from my experience, everyone was so stressed out first semester. No one knew how to study/what to...

  15. El Centro....Pharmocology not requried?

  16. El Centro....Pharmocology not requried?

    ProudRN2B replied to NewCareer78's topic in Texas Nursing

    Pharmocology is not required. I did take it before entering the program and honestly, I'm not sure how much it helped. The drugs are discussed throughout the program, related to the topics. Also you...

  17. Fall 09 - North Lake \ El Centro - Email from Kanora?

    ProudRN2B replied to jpgmavs's topic in Texas Nursing

    Richard, You will need a better one. I'm not sure how much the SNA sells them for. They sell the Littman, I want to say it was $60 and they only have black. I bet they will offer them at the 3 day...

  22. El Centro/Northlake students I have a question

    ProudRN2B replied to mom35's topic in Texas Nursing

    You will go to skills lab for the first few weeks. I think I recall it being about 4 hours long. You will have three check-offs like in HPRS 1204. So you'll have skills lab one day and lecture on day...
