  1. Mental health and Elderly/Hippa

    RaspberryTX replied to Furwillfly's topic in Psychiatric

    I'm going to play the devil's advocate here and show you what the elder care woman is seeing from her side of things. She couldn't contact you or your sister because it would be a HIPAA violation....

  2. Narcotic Antagonist Implant

    RaspberryTX replied to Lunah's topic in Emergency

    I wonder if an addict would be tempted to just dig the implant out from under their skin. Neat idea but I have to admit that I'm skeptical that this will provide long term results. Of course, if it...

  3. UTHSC at San Antonio fall 09

    RaspberryTX replied to prettyNpurple's topic in Texas Nursing

    If any of you are looking to save money, I would skip buying Tour Guide to Nursing School and Test Success. Maybe one of my classmates will post if they found them to be helpful. But to me, they...

  4. UTHSC at San Antonio fall 09

    RaspberryTX replied to prettyNpurple's topic in Texas Nursing

    I'm not really sure of everyone's age. It seems like most of the students are in their 20s. But there are a few in their 30s and 40s. There are probably some in their 50s as well but I am only...

  5. UTHSC at San Antonio fall 09

    RaspberryTX replied to prettyNpurple's topic in Texas Nursing

    Hi, Just wanted to say that I'm in my first semester at UTHSCSA also (hmm guess I should probably start thinking up a new username since I'm in the program now). About the TEAS test, it isn't that...

    RaspberryTX replied to cryptic12's topic in Texas Nursing

    Or you can just read about it on CNN. You can start with this CNN story: http://www.cnn.com/2009/WORLD/americas/02/18/mexico.drug.violence/index.html?iref=newssearch Then you might want to read up on...

    RaspberryTX replied to cryptic12's topic in Texas Nursing

    I'm so glad "God" posted. This is exactly what we've been talking about. Oh the valley is fine. All those bad things, don't mind them, it's "just the valley way!" And to quote "God", "it cant be...

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

    RaspberryTX replied to TheguyRN's topic in Texas Nursing

    As far as I can tell it's somewhere in the Nursing School building. I can't find anywhere that shows what floor etc. I was also wondering what we were supposed to wear. I'd really like to wear...

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

    RaspberryTX replied to TheguyRN's topic in Texas Nursing

    Does anyone know the bookstore hours? I went there yesterday and they were closed. Called today and get no answer. Their website said they are open on Fridays and Saturdays but I guess they are...

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

    RaspberryTX replied to TheguyRN's topic in Texas Nursing

    FYI--In order to get your parking permit they want you to bring in your vehicle registration. I didn't bring mine and had to drive all the way back home to get it. Then when I was standing in line...

    RaspberryTX replied to cryptic12's topic in Texas Nursing

    Stay away from the valley (Brownsville, McAllen area). You do NOT want to work there. It's not safe for you or your

  13. 3 months in Texas

    RaspberryTX replied to cryptic12's topic in Texas Nursing

    hehe only someone who lives in Houston would refer to San Antonio as dry. As far as humidity in San Antonio you're looking at ~80% in the mornings and 50-60% in the heat of the day. Corpus is a...

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

    RaspberryTX replied to TheguyRN's topic in Texas Nursing

    lancer, I haven't bought any of my books yet. I would go with whatever the UTHSCSA bookstore is saying. I think they are probably more up to date than

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

    RaspberryTX replied to TheguyRN's topic in Texas Nursing

    I was told by one of the faculty that the clinical assignments are random. She also said the scrubs for clinicals are still white. Edited to add: I decided not to go to the Heart to Heart. My family...

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

    RaspberryTX replied to TheguyRN's topic in Texas Nursing

    If nursing school is really as demanding as I hear it is, we may also feel like prison inmates White is so bad about stains and undergarments showing through (even if they are white also). Glad to...

    RaspberryTX replied to TheguyRN's topic in Texas Nursing

    I'm so sorry to hear this. I'm glad you aren't going to give up and will reapply. Hope to see you in the fall. Good luck to

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

    RaspberryTX replied to TheguyRN's topic in Texas Nursing

    That's good news. I am out of shape big time. And if I'm able to attend the one close to home, my family can get their own membership and go with

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

    RaspberryTX replied to TheguyRN's topic in Texas Nursing

    Is it only the Prue Spectrum? There is another spectrum much closer to my house. It would be nice to be able to pick which spectrum since we're being forced to pay the

  20. Heartbroken

    RaspberryTX replied to sbrownRN's topic in Texas Nursing

    I'd continue to take the prereqs and then reapply to SAC. I'd also look into retaking the NET if it's possible. You have decent grades so I really don't see any reason why you shouldn't be accepted....

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

    RaspberryTX replied to TheguyRN's topic in Texas Nursing

    I took off some of the books like your road map to nursing school (or whatever it's called), test success, and then the publication thing. I'm not going to buy those unless we absolutely have to. But...

  22. Is it time to get rid of 12 hour shifts?

    RaspberryTX replied to country mom's topic in General Nursing

    If you are allowing someone to force you to go 8 to 12 hours without a bathroom break, you have no one to blame but yourself. I'm always amazed at what some people will put up

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

    RaspberryTX replied to TheguyRN's topic in Texas Nursing

    I think tuition is around $2100. Then we have fees, books, parking, scrubs, etc. No idea what it would be with all that added to

  24. San Antonio Texas Bridge Programs

    RaspberryTX replied to 1learning's topic in Texas Nursing

    I believe Spring 2009 is the last semester UTHSCSA will be offering admittance to their bridge program. I don't know if this is going to be permanent or if they are just going to make some changes...
