    txpatches posted a topic in General Students

  4. Need Advice

    txpatches replied to wlb06's topic in General Students

    I agree with everyone else! Move back home with your parents. Nursing school is tough, regardless. Wouldn't it be so much easier on yourself if you didn't have to worry about working and finances?? I...

  10. Clinicals question

    txpatches replied to Corkybabe12's topic in Texas Nursing

    txpatches replied to smellyacres's topic in General Students

    I start the nursing program August 25 and I am 33 yrs old. I have only met one other person in our program so far and she is 28. I think you will find that the ages of everyone will vary quite a bit!...

    txpatches replied to emd88's topic in General Students

    txpatches replied to mizliz's topic in Texas Nursing

  14. Nursing Programs

    txpatches replied to mizliz's topic in Texas Nursing

    I have gone to 2 different CC's. Both operate the same way. You apply for NS and they calculate how many points you have. If you are the top 30 (or 45 for the other CC) you get in. They also have an...

    txpatches replied to emtstudentnurse's topic in Texas Nursing

    That is disappointing to hear. No, I won't be in your class. We moved from the Tyler area about a year ago and now live closer to my husbands family in Bryan/College Station. I have been accepted to...

  16. Moving to Tyler- Have a Few Questions

    txpatches replied to emtstudentnurse's topic in Texas Nursing

    Wow! I didn't realize the pay for nurses was that extreme from Tyler to DFW. Although, thinking back I do remember some of my classmates spouses driving to DFW and working Friday, Sat, and Sunday and...

  19. Do you get anything out of Labs?

    txpatches replied to B2728's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I absolutely loved my labs! I have taken Intro to A&P, A&P I, A&P II, and Micro with labs. Our lab class was always small. I would say no more than 20 people and we never had a problem...

    txpatches replied to RedEyeBrat's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  21. Here is a crazy question

    txpatches replied to msdeannah's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    txpatches replied to MidwestMom's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I know where you are coming from! I am a 33 yr old mother of 3! I would try to stay away from the online class if at all possible especially since you said you have been out of school for a while....
