   Aggiegrl07 replied to facastaneda's topic in Texas

   Hey! I got hired into the transition PACU at MDA. I guess we'll meet each other soon. :-) MDA is great. I have also heard from friends who had their preceptorship on the MDA PACU that it is a great unit. The nurses love to teach. I'm sure it will be...

2. UT Houston Pre-Orientation

   Aggiegrl07 replied to AdrianLU's topic in Texas

   Hi Adrian! I'm going next week too. I have gotten almost everything-I guess I need a few more pairs of scrubs though. And the patches and all that. I'm still waiting on 2 of my books to come in the mail-hopefully they will come before I move to Ho...

3. How do I decide where to go????

   Aggiegrl07 replied to richardjboro1's topic in General Nursing

   Well you chose some very different cities. I can only speak for the TX cities though. Galveston is kind of an odd one if you are wanting a bigger city with good night life. Many people love Galveston but it is not for everyone. It is a little b...

4. UT Houston NET

   Aggiegrl07 replied to elenanas777's topic in Texas

   It tests math, reading comprehension, grammar type skills and science. The math is pretty basic but you may really need to brush up on grammar skills. The science seemed pretty broad to me-not really something you can study for. They are assuming ...

5. A&P II or Microbiology for 10 wk summer?

   Aggiegrl07 replied to PurpleMyst's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I'd do A&P. If you have a cumulative final you will be less likely to forget the massive amounts of memorization required in 10 weeks than 15 weeks. I took A&PII in a summer session and found it was easier to be immersed in that particular c...

   Aggiegrl07 replied to brownberrry's topic in Texas

   I agree with the others above. It will be difficult, but not impossible. You will however need A's in your remaining prereqs. I was in the same situation. I had around a 3.3 in my previous degree and a 3.6 in my completed prereqs (I was still mis...

8. Question-UTHSC-Houston versus UTA

   Aggiegrl07 replied to Aggiegrl07's topic in Texas

   I've actually been admitted to both schools for Fall 2008. I also had transcript issues with UTA! The application asked what courses I was currently enrolled in and then they requested the transcript for those courses! It seemed pretty obvious to ...

9. Question-UTHSC-Houston versus UTA

   Aggiegrl07 replied to Aggiegrl07's topic in Texas

   I know right-I'm a walking contradiction. My first degree is from A&M but UT has way better nursing programs, so UT it is! I'll have to get one of those house divided bumber stickers tattooed on my forehead. UTA is far more convenient and would...

10. Question-UTHSC-Houston versus UTA

    Aggiegrl07 posted a topic in Texas

    I hope someone here can help me. I am wrestling with the decision of going to UT-Houston or UT Arlington for nursing school. I know they are both great schools. However, I have always been under the impression that UT-Houston is considered slightl...
