  1. UTHSCSA - UT Health Science Center San Antonio - Spring 09

    RaspberryTX replied to TheguyRN's topic in Texas Nursing

    Once you turn in your immunization record you will be able to register whether or not your final transcript is turned in. About the parking--My first few months at UTHSCSA when I was working there, I...

  2. UTHSCSA - UT Health Science Center San Antonio - Spring 09

    RaspberryTX replied to TheguyRN's topic in Texas Nursing

    I just got the registration packet. So y'all should be getting it today (or sometime very soon)

  3. UTHSCSA - UT Health Science Center San Antonio - Spring 09

    RaspberryTX replied to TheguyRN's topic in Texas Nursing

    I had the titer done. You might want to check to see how much it is at the Student Health Clinic at UTHSCSA. But $56 sounds pretty

  4. UTHSCSA - UT Health Science Center San Antonio - Spring 09

    RaspberryTX replied to TheguyRN's topic in Texas Nursing

    Nothing yet. We are supposed to be getting our registration packet before the end of this

  5. San Angelo, TX

    RaspberryTX replied to WildcatFanRN's topic in Texas Nursing

    I love San Angelo. But, my idea of a good place to live is out in the middle of nowhere so keep that in mind. San Angelo is a mid-sized town (less than 100,000 I would guess) that is surrounded...

  6. 4.0 gpa a myth?

    RaspberryTX replied to tea_leaf's topic in Texas Nursing

    Pretty much anyone with average intelligence can make a 4.0 if they do the work it requires. But like the OP was saying, I don't buy that you have to have a 4.0 to get into nursing school. I would...

  7. Group One background checks in Texas

    RaspberryTX replied to edgreen's topic in Texas Nursing

    3 words: Class action

  8. What is the average age of people entering nursing?

    RaspberryTX replied to Satori77's topic in General Nursing

    I'm 35 and starting nursing school this January. I would have been able to deal with nursing school right out of high school. I think lumping people together by age group is a mistake. I have seen...

  9. UTHSCSA - UT Health Science Center San Antonio - Spring 09

    RaspberryTX replied to TheguyRN's topic in Texas Nursing

    That's awesome! I'll keep my fingers crossed for

  10. UTHSCSA - UT Health Science Center San Antonio - Spring 09

    RaspberryTX replied to TheguyRN's topic in Texas Nursing

    Thanks for the info Duc. I guess instructions on how to provide proof of insurance will be included in the packet they are putting

  11. 4.0 gpa a myth?

    RaspberryTX replied to tea_leaf's topic in Texas Nursing

    A girl that applied to the same school I did was told that if you don't have a 3.8 then you are really out of luck. She had a 3.5 and got accepted. Aznplayr99 had a 3.3 and got accepted. This is out...

  12. applying to nursing school

    RaspberryTX replied to kcalalang's topic in Texas Nursing

    If it were me, I'd take the chance and apply to at least one nursing school (whose prereqs I could complete by the deadline of course). Worst case scenario by doing this: You are out the application...

  13. CRNA Program or Law School Harder?

    RaspberryTX replied to beedog13's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    I haven't been through either but it seems to me like it's comparing apples to oranges. But, if I had to pick one I would think CRNA school would be a lot harder. First, there is a lot of information...

  14. UTHSCSA - UT Health Science Center San Antonio - Spring 09

    RaspberryTX replied to TheguyRN's topic in Texas Nursing

    Yes, it is the BLS for health care providers. You can go this American Heart Association webpage and search by zipcode to find classes in your

  15. UTHSCSA - UT Health Science Center San Antonio - Spring 09

    RaspberryTX replied to TheguyRN's topic in Texas Nursing

    Most of what I've been reading is that there are a lot of nursing jobs out there. But, most of them seem to be for experienced nurses. Like this post about someone in Austin that had a hard time...

  16. UTHSCSA - UT Health Science Center San Antonio - Spring 09

    RaspberryTX replied to TheguyRN's topic in Texas Nursing

    Am I the only one getting very nervous from reading various posts on here about how it is getting more and more difficult for new grads (even in Tx) to find jobs? Anyone know any of the new graduates...

  17. Going to RN program at age 40--crazy?

    RaspberryTX replied to Teapot12345's topic in General Nursing

    Nope. You aren't crazy. Go for it. My mom got her nursing degree at age 50. She hasn't regretted it for a second. I was and am so proud of her. She has always been a wonderful role

  18. UTHSCSA - UT Health Science Center San Antonio - Spring 09

    RaspberryTX replied to TheguyRN's topic in Texas Nursing

    All this time I thought Aznplr99 = Arizona player 99

    RaspberryTX replied to TheguyRN's topic in Texas Nursing

    I am very overweight so a free or discounted gym membership would

  20. Purple,maybe even Blue

    RaspberryTX replied to Iam46yearsold's topic in Texas Nursing

    Yeah Austin usually is liberal/blue. As far as "yankees" I would think they would be more liberal than conservative. Seems like the North East is usually blue. I'm a die hard republican--Go McCain!...

  21. UTHSCSA - UT Health Science Center San Antonio - Spring 09

    RaspberryTX replied to TheguyRN's topic in Texas Nursing

    Congrats lily! If I'm not mistaken, we'll be taking the same classes this first semester as the generic pathway students so all of us off here will be together. It's nice that we already sort of know...

  22. NO more private loans!!!! How to finish school??

    RaspberryTX replied to Epona's topic in General Nursing

    If the OP has only two choices to either borrow against her retirement or drop out of nursing school with only 6 months left. I would ABSOLUTELY borrow against the retirement especially if she is...

  23. NO more private loans!!!! How to finish school??

    RaspberryTX replied to Epona's topic in General Nursing

    If you've run out of all other options, I would look into taking a out loan from your 401k (this is different than a withdrawal you were talking about). However, if this is something you want to...

  24. UTHSCSA - UT Health Science Center San Antonio - Spring 09

    RaspberryTX replied to TheguyRN's topic in Texas Nursing

    Speaking of the scholarship form...What do we put for the gpa? I was thinking of leaving it blank since we aren't IN the program yet but I wasn't sure if maybe we were supposed to put our gpa for our...

  25. NICU in McAllen Medical Center??

    RaspberryTX replied to I<3NICU's topic in Texas Nursing

    I lived in Austin for a while about 5 years ago. I didn't find the cost of living to be bad at all. But again, that was 5 years ago so things may have changed. If you are into outdoorsy stuff and/or...
