  1. Patient Falls- national (USA) statistics desperately needed

    jac133 replied to nursingosaurus's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    Statistics that I found on TJC's website had this disclaimer: "The reporting of most sentinel events to The Joint Commission is voluntary and represents only a small proportion of actual events....

  2. Im a little worried, should I be?

    jac133 replied to chocolateskye's topic in Texas Nursing

    It's really tough to get a job right now as a GN/RN with minimal experience, so I would take it... I don't have any experience with that location, but I have a friend who will be starting there this...

  3. Houston January GN Programs

    jac133 posted a topic in Texas Nursing

    Can anyone give me an approximate start date for some of the Houston GN programs for the January cohort? I've got a lot of things I'm trying to plan, and I want to make sure I keep my calendar open...

  4. UTHSCSA spring 2010 hopefuls!

    jac133 replied to itsMEkassiah's topic in Texas Nursing

    Hey Andan, generic track is the regular 2 year program. Not everyone with a prior degree gets into the accelerated program (I was one that didn't), but because things are changing around here, who...

  5. UTHSCSA spring 2010 hopefuls!

    jac133 replied to itsMEkassiah's topic in Texas Nursing

    Hi everyone. I'm a current student so hopefully I can help answer some of your questions... Unless you already have a prior Bachelor's degree, you won't be eligible for the accelerated program. That...

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

    jac133 replied to TheguyRN's topic in Texas Nursing

    The auditorium is on the first floor of the same building that our interviews were in. I was there today and they had signs up showing how to get there. I asked in the Undergrad Nursing office and...

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

    jac133 replied to TheguyRN's topic in Texas Nursing

    I just looked through my papers, and the letter for Heart to Heart says that the bookstore will be open Jan 4th from 1pm to 5pm. It's on the pink sheet of paper in the last packet that they mailed. We...

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

    jac133 replied to TheguyRN's topic in Texas Nursing

    polter, thanks for the info. I feel bad that I'm going to miss the first thing I could go to, but I'll survive. Gotta run to my old university Monday morning to get a transcript with my degree posted...

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

    jac133 replied to TheguyRN's topic in Texas Nursing

    Buying books online is tricky/risky without the ISBN. Maybe someone who has already taken the classes and used the same editions could post them? Did anyone else notice in the first letter in the new...

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

    jac133 replied to TheguyRN's topic in Texas Nursing

    Ok, I was wondering about the Heart to Heart thing too. I'd hate to miss out on anything important, but since I only knew orientation was the 7th-9th, I put my last day at work down as Jan 2nd, and...

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

    jac133 replied to TheguyRN's topic in Texas Nursing

    Yep, got mine too. From what I understand, the Heart to Heart thing is not mandatory. Has anyone started shopping for books online yet? I've got a couple already, and I'm gonna start working on...

    jac133 replied to TheguyRN's topic in Texas Nursing

    If you go to the Financial Aid site, on the right you can click on a link for "cost of attendance & disbursement dates." Here's the link: http://studentservices.uthscsa.edu/FA_Cost.aspx So they...

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

    jac133 replied to TheguyRN's topic in Texas Nursing

    I looked at the chart they have with the cost of attendance. YIKES! I'm jealous of you accelerated people, if for nothing else, for the $$ you'll save getting out quicker, plus getting a job 6 months...

  14. Houston BSN Programs

    jac133 replied to BABYLOVE1462's topic in Texas Nursing

    UH-Victoria runs a nursing program at the Sugar Land campus, although I'm not sure if that includes all of the above-mentioned options. I'm guessing that that's what the above posters are referring...

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

    jac133 replied to TheguyRN's topic in Texas Nursing

    Lily if you look at your holds online, it will show you what all is preventing you from registering. Like UTHSC-hopeful said, my account shows that all I need to take care of is my immunization...

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

    jac133 replied to TheguyRN's topic in Texas Nursing

    Yay, congrats RFS! I'm not keeping my fingers crossed on the accelerated thing. I'm worried about my titer coming back negative too. That would NOT be fun, stressing to get those 2 shots in time. Oh...

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

    jac133 replied to TheguyRN's topic in Texas Nursing

    Lily, Ouch on the UTHSCSA costs! I misquoted, it was $52, but that was at the U of H health center, so unless you're a student there... I'd check county health clinics, you might be able to find it...

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

    jac133 replied to TheguyRN's topic in Texas Nursing

    I have a question: Did you guys all either get the titer for chicken pox or have the immunizations? I had chicken pox when I was little so the titer would work for me, but I found one that costs $56....

    jac133 replied to TheguyRN's topic in Texas Nursing

    OK rfs, my response to your questions in the TWU thread: no, I'm not in the accelerated program, regular 2 year, just like you Or did you get lucky and get bumped? I'm willing to bet I have one of...

  20. TWU Spring 2009

    jac133 replied to Princess_WannaBe's topic in Texas Nursing

    Princess, don't be surprised that you were waitlisted. I think that the reason you were and some others with a higher GPA didn't get in and didnt get waitlisted was because of your NET score. Ms....

  21. TWU Spring 2009

    jac133 replied to Princess_WannaBe's topic in Texas Nursing

    I got my rejection letter (in the Houston area) yesterday. I knew it wasn't going to be an acceptance since people with higher GPAs and comperable NET scores were not getting it. Its amazing how much...

  22. TWU Spring 2009

    jac133 replied to Princess_WannaBe's topic in Texas Nursing

    I'm not sure what other factors there could even be? They don't have much info on us. Just our grades, where we have gone to school, and our NET

  23. TWU Spring 2009

    jac133 replied to Princess_WannaBe's topic in Texas Nursing

    I applied to TWU Houston and UTHSCSA. If you get in to TWU will you stay in Houston, or are you planning on going to SA either way now? I'm kind of looking forward to the move, although there are...

  24. TWU Spring 2009

    jac133 replied to Princess_WannaBe's topic in Texas Nursing

    Hey rfs2886, I'm in the same boat as you. And I second the rec for UT system schools (UTHSC Houston, San Antonio, UTMB) for those of you willing to move, because they interview you and consider your...

    jac133 replied to TheguyRN's topic in Texas Nursing

    We all have so many questions! Anyone else ready to get more info in the mail so we can start preparing? And on the subject of apartments, my sister lived in the med center and had helicopters flying...
