  2. PDA help

    editor2rn replied to mamaof4's topic in Texas Nursing

    Where's the eyes-glazing-over icon? I'll send this info to my husband, my Tech Guy. He can decipher it and retell it to me in plain, sloooooooow English. I'm so behind on this particular technology....

  3. PDA help

    editor2rn replied to mamaof4's topic in Texas Nursing

    What great timing! I was just coming on to post the same question. Our phone contracts will be up soon, and I'm trying to figure out if I should get a phone/PDA combo. How many students out there use...

  4. Anyone applying to ACC (Austin Community College) or Temple College for Fall 2008???

    editor2rn replied to ginabanina's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Hmmmm, maybe I'll check out TAMU's program. I'm applying to ACC in January, and it's frustrating to sit and twiddle my thumbs until fall, if I'm accepted. One good thing about UT's program is you can...

  5. UT Austin - Alternative Entry Accelerated MSN program

    editor2rn replied to cabolissa's topic in Texas Nursing

    I checked out the AE MSN program at UT. It's very competitive; the counselor I spoke with told me not to apply without a 4.0 on prereqs. I had some classes with folks working toward their application...

  6. Anyone applying to ACC (Austin Community College) or Temple College for Fall 2008???

    editor2rn replied to ginabanina's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Hi, RN2Be, I'm thrilled to hear that ACC has professors and can enlarge their enrollment. I'm taking my last prereq and my last coreq this fall. I just wish I could start nursing school in the spring!...

  7. What courses if any are you taking this summer?

    editor2rn replied to williams3929's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Just finished Micro and Pharmacology with A's. In the fall I'll take Physiology, Human Growth and Development, and a medical terminology class for kicks. Then it's application

  8. BSN vs. ADN + BS in other field

    editor2rn replied to daffodils711's topic in General Nursing

    Alternate-entry master's programs offer MSNs for folks with bachelor's degrees in other fields. I think how a non-nursing bachelor's affects your nursing career depends on what your degree is in and...

  9. san antonio cost of living

    editor2rn replied to rockenmomRN's topic in Texas Nursing

    Cost of living in SA will be cheaper than in San Diego, but the weather won't compare, and some would argue the scenery isn't so great here either, at least compared with San Diego. Most Californians...

    That sounds great. Thanks for the

  11. Telemetry vs. Cardiac Stepdown at Brack in Austin

    editor2rn replied to abbabask's topic in Texas Nursing

    I'm a long way from new-grad status, but I'm interested in working for Seton once I'm done. I have a couple questions, if anyone cares to enlighten me. I'd like to go straight to a speciality area,...

    editor2rn replied to abbabask's topic in Texas Nursing

    No inside scoop on either, but congrats on the job

  13. Too many nurses in San Antonio?

    editor2rn replied to jazzgirl73's topic in Texas Nursing

    Not sure about Houston, but I've been told that starting salaries for nurses at the hospitals here is about $21-$22/hour. Housing is generally more expensive here than in San Antonio, though, so it...

  14. Apartments in Austin

    editor2rn replied to sunshine88's topic in Texas Nursing

    Argh! Just realized you already got a job downtown. That should teach me to post at midnight! Hyde Park would be convenient, so let me know if you want my friend's info. You may also look just east...

  15. Apartments in Austin

    editor2rn replied to sunshine88's topic in Texas Nursing

    Hospitals in Austin are all over. Several are downtown or very close to; others are in far north Austin, even more north in Round Rock, a couple are south, and one is being built now in the county...

  16. Too many nurses in San Antonio?

    editor2rn replied to jazzgirl73's topic in Texas Nursing

    From what I gather from conversations with SA friends, the salaries are lower in SA, as is the cost of living. It's not just nursing but all industries that seem to have lower

  17. Austin Moms/Nursing students I need your help!!

    editor2rn replied to curlysue82's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Hi, I'm in Austin, but I'm on the far southwest side of town, so I can't give you any leads on good schools. I also work from home full-time and have no work experience in health care, so I can't help...

  18. curious BSN OR ADN why?

    editor2rn replied to butterflies135's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I have a bachelor's and a master's, but I'm going for an ADN because I'm an older student, a parent, and a career changer, and the ADN works. I could have done a BSN and an MSN, but the ADN works for...

  19. Considering Texas

    editor2rn replied to NYSNOWBUNNY007's topic in Texas Nursing

    Yep, no state income tax. I can't say for certainty about city taxes. Austin doesn't have city taxes. Any city services are included in utility bills. Sales tax in Austin is

  20. Moving to East Texas from Northern Nevada

    editor2rn replied to RN_Pursuit2b's topic in Texas Nursing

    I lived in Nacogdoches in middle school and high school (1978-1985). At the time, my best friend was from the only Mexican American family in town (legally), and her family was the only Mexican...

  22. curious BSN OR ADN why?

    editor2rn replied to butterflies135's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I plan to apply to the ADN program at the local CC. While I wait to see if I'm accepted, I'm going to take some classes that count toward a second-degree BSN and an alternate entry master's program....

    editor2rn replied to TheCommuter's topic in General Nursing

    Hey, Commuter, Next time put her on hold, finish whatever you need to do, get the chart, go back to the phone, and then tell her the information isn't in the chart. And be sure to "practice good...

  25. Online Nutrition

    editor2rn replied to HolliMom2's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Hollimom, I'm sorry your test didn't go so well. I'm taking my first online class this summer (pharmacology), and I'm nervous for the same reason. In class, I can sort of gauge what the professor...
