NurseBettyICU ADN, BSN

Pt only has 1 IV currently. Insulin gtt infusing. Can another compatible medication be Y'd into this Insulin tubing? Same scenario, but Cardizem infusing (instead of Insulin). Can another compatible med be Y'd into the Cardizem? I overheard a nurse...

What are the typical CNA hours? I'm hoping to find out that they are similar to a nursing schedule of 3 12-hour shifts.

I was lurking over in the Fall 08 Application thread and I was a little surprised. I've always thought NS was a fulltime deal - like an 8-5 job in a way (not really 8-5, but early in the morning into the evening, same hours everyday). So am I reading...

Can someone give me a list of Nursing Schools in the Fort Worth area? I've had my heart set on TCC for so long - and reality is now setting in that I should really be applying to more than just this one school. I am actually located out between Benb...

All you alternates - keep your heads up. I am an ADN student at WC (about to finish up my 1st semester). I was not even an alternate but was accepted at the last minute (got the call on Friday night, started classes on Monday!) TCC had accepted mor...

I am going to call them this afternoon to get some info - just wondering if anyone here has ANY info they can share. Also I've taken just about all of my pre-reqs at TCC, those will all transfer to Weatherford College wont they?

Made an overall grade of 81.2%. It was the general science that kicked my butt. There were all these questions about rocks! WHAT?!?! I've never learned anything about rocks. So I wanna know - do you think my overall grade is 'good enough', or should...

I was told it will take about 3 weeks after the close of registration b/f we find out. Oh the waiting is going to be so hard. If anyone happens to talk to Karen and finds out how many points were needed to be accepted, please post. :) Good luck to yo...

I am so stinking happy right now!! I know there was at least 1 other person who was able to get into his AP class at TCC. I tried on registration day to get in, but of course his class filled up almost immediatly. So I had no other choice than to sig...

Has anyone heard of Tyson's Nurses Aide Academy in Fort Worth? Here's their link. www.tysons-nursesaideacademy.com I cant find any reviews on this school anywhere. So if you've attended this school or know someone who has, could you please post a re...

Just curious if you went thru their CNA program? If so, how long did the whole process take and do you feel you learned enough?

FYI - Dunbar no longer offers this or any other classes.

I'm out at TCC anyways b/c I've taken some classes 3 times - they will only look at the highest of the 1st 2 times you've taken a class - even if 1 of the first 2 times you withdrew. The 'W' is counted as 1 change. UGH!!

Just have a couple of questions.... 1. How many students started out at the beginning... a full class or were there less? 2. If a person is not an alternate, but there are any spots open even after the alternates, do they call the next person in lin...

Thanks SN2010! You did answer my questions. As for any other questions I have... well I want to know EVERYTHING. LOL!! How is the program - more or less difficult that you thought it would be?

I had 21 points and an 82 on the TEAS... rejected. Did not even make the alternate list. On my rejection letter, it was marked that I didnt make the cut b/c of my TEAS score. Guess I'll be retaking that darn TEAS again in February (have to wait 6 mo...

Ohhhhh maaaaaannn!!! Well that news certainly sucks to me since I only have 21 points as well. There is still a slight chance we could be chosen as alternates, and that most of those people with 24 & 25 points will be accepted to other schools an...

So the deadline for turning in your application is approaching. Just curious about the competition. LOL! - What is your score? - Did you finish all of the pre-reqs? - Has anyone spoken to Karen and found out what the current "acceptable" score i...

I am just copying and pasting this straight from the ADN flyer that Karen Long @ WC emailed to me. The most points you can get is 26. Prerequisite courses receive the following points: A=4 points, B=3 points, C=2 points (total points divided by 4 = ...

I am not yet a nursing student (just a little ole PRE-nursing student) lol. Anyway, I have read many posts about the amount of reading you are required to do in a short amount of time. Are you really able to comprehend all that you read? Seems like y...

The only pre-req I havent taken is English 2. TCC requires Eng 2, but WC doesnt. I wonder if I'll even have a shot at TCC b/c of this?

Is this really true? I have a friend who during the entire time she was in school (pre-reqs and NS) said the unemployment office paid her bills. And she says they will even pay for childcare. Sounds too good to be true to me!! Anyone know anything a...

I took the math accuplacer at South campus about a week ago and made a 61 on the Elem. Algebra and a 110 on the arithmatic. Since a passing score for elem algebra is 63, I took it again this morning. I made a 75 this time on the Elem Algebra. But thi...

Hey.... is this my buddy M?
