  1. El Centro / Northlake ADN orientation

    ProudRN2B replied to onedayCRNA's topic in Texas Nursing

    Majors is doing the uniforms

  2. El Centro / Northlake ADN orientation

    ProudRN2B replied to onedayCRNA's topic in Texas Nursing

    For those of you going to orientation who will be ordering scrubs...I ordered medium tops and they seemed to be a million times bigger than what I tried on at orientation and I also lost several...

  3. El Centro / Northlake ADN orientation

    ProudRN2B replied to onedayCRNA's topic in Texas Nursing

    I would make the name badge match your student ID. Some instructors are so particular about wearing them but some aren't. We had to wear our name badge, our student ID and a hospital ID. They are so...

  4. Do you recommend Presbyterian Dallas a good place to work?

    ProudRN2B replied to RNRebecca83's topic in Texas Nursing

    From Frisco you can jump on the train at Parker and 75, it dumps you off right in front of Presby Dallas. Not sure what you mean by "Ghetto" patients but you will get a wide variety as you would any...

  5. El Centro / Northlake ADN orientation

    ProudRN2B replied to onedayCRNA's topic in Texas Nursing

    Black pants. You can get any black pants and any black shoes as long as there is no logo on the shoes. The tops are light blue, they will have to El Centro

  6. El Centro / Northlake ADN orientation

    ProudRN2B replied to onedayCRNA's topic in Texas Nursing

    Yes the books are that expensive now! Well close to it. I think it was like $850 after tax and including the $30 skills pack that we never used either. They get you by saying if you don't buy the book...

  7. El Centro / Northlake ADN orientation

    ProudRN2B replied to onedayCRNA's topic in Texas Nursing

    You will only need to pay for your scrubs at the time of orientation. I suggest bringing a check. They accept CC's but they will have to write down your number and ring it up later, as the uniform...

  8. El Centro 2nd Semester Books/Reading List

    ProudRN2B posted a topic in Texas Nursing

    Anyone have the El Centro 2nd semester books/reading list. I found a reading list on ecampus but it is not very well organized or clear on what to read...hopefully there is something better...

  9. Might sound stupid...but need opinions!

    ProudRN2B replied to criticalRN10's topic in General Students

    Glad you took time to think about it. I think everyone needs animals but I also don't think it would be fair to the dog while you will have such a big committment with school. And I know that from...

  10. Might sound stupid...but need opinions!

    ProudRN2B replied to criticalRN10's topic in General Students

    Yeah, cats are a good idea. They are more indenpendent and you don't have to worry about walking

  11. Might sound stupid...but need opinions!

    ProudRN2B replied to criticalRN10's topic in General Students

    I personally would say no. One on your clinical days (you may have one or two days a week) you'll be away from home for 12 or more hours if you include travel time. I don't think it's fair to let a...

  12. Low applications for El Centro Fall 09'

    ProudRN2B replied to kcoa11's topic in Texas Nursing

    Trek, Congrats on Brookhaven. I think you will be much happier. The El Centro Program is a joke. I've heard only good things about Brookhaven. I heard the teachers are supportive and encouraging. El...

  13. DCCCD OR CCCCD -Nursing Program

    ProudRN2B replied to kaliamama's topic in Texas Nursing

    I have heard only good things about Brookhaven's program. I hear that the instructors are very supportive. Something I wish I had while I'm in school. I really haven't heard anything about Collin...

  14. What type of student were you before nursing school?

    ProudRN2B replied to krltdy's topic in General Students

    I was a lot like you in highschool. I didn't spend any time studying but got by, mostly B's, some C's. 10 years later decided to finally go to college. I was worried since I never was a great student...

  15. Older students biased against younger students?

    ProudRN2B replied to Stephanieee's topic in General Students

    I would be more proud to say I earned my spot because I worked hard, not because of my age. I would just brush it off and be proud you are young and committed. I am "older" (30, but I feel old) and I...

  16. NEED feedback from El Centro/Northlake RN grads. and current students

    ProudRN2B replied to mom35's topic in Texas Nursing

    I've heard all the horror stories too but I have had nothing but a great experience. I attend Northlake and everyone there seems to be pretty happy with their instructors. I do have a friend at El...

  18. El Centro/ North Lake-1st Semester Spring 09

    ProudRN2B replied to ProudRN2B's topic in General Students

    I think outlining the objectives is very helpful. For me it has helped me to start understanding what I was reading and I think it does seem to focus on the important information. Did you get the...

  19. El Centro/ North Lake-1st Semester Spring 09

    ProudRN2B replied to ProudRN2B's topic in General Students

    I listened to the lecture online and took notes on the powerpoint. Then I outlined the objectives (the outline like we had for our 1204 modules). Then I'm going to focus on the main things that were...

    ProudRN2B replied to Spill's topic in General Students

  21. Student nurse with the baby itch. Help!

    ProudRN2B replied to linds24's topic in General Students

    I understand the feeling. I'm about the be 30 and have had the baby itch for some time now. However, I know how difficult it will be to have a child while in school. Also, like someone mentioned, you...

  22. El Centro/ North Lake-1st Semester Spring 09

    ProudRN2B replied to ProudRN2B's topic in General Students

    I was told it was at the performance hall in the main building of El Centro. It would have been nice to have some info sent to us. The way I found out was at the lunch the SNA had on Friday. There...

  23. El Centro/ North Lake-1st Semester Spring 09

    ProudRN2B replied to ProudRN2B's topic in General Students

    I haven't really looked through my book yet. I was wondering about it too, but I thought I'd wait until orientation. The book guy will be at the orientation one day to talk about the books and putting...

  24. El Centro/ North Lake-1st Semester Spring 09

    ProudRN2B replied to ProudRN2B's topic in General Students

    Mine aren't on ecampus either. I think they were at one time, then they took it off the next day. What clinical do you have? I'm Tuesday with Tunnell. Not my first choice. In fact, it was my very...

    ProudRN2B replied to ProudRN2B's topic in General Students

    meatball, have you found out if you're registered? You would've gotten an e-mail if they dropped you. But log in to econnect, and click on "my schedule". Also, don't forget to print your receipt. I...
