Yes, you can absolutely get the titer done for the immunity for mmr and also for the chicken pox. That was me! I'm as close to The Woodlands as you can get without actually being in The Woodlands! I'm sure I'll see you in the mornings if you'll be there studying! It is good that there are some friends that are in your classes. I only know one person and she's afternoons. I met everyone who is in morning classes at orientation. I guess that's okay, I think I do better on my own, no matter how many people say you do better with groups! We are pretty broke too. I think that's the nature of the economy now. I just found out today we officially need a new roof too. Whoopee!

Erica, I am so sorry I didn't post sooner. If I remember, I was in an army green shirt and black hoodie. I sat up front. When we introduced ourselves I said I was 35, have 3 daughters, etc. I remember you. Did you get a.m. or p.m.? I'm a.m. You know what, you had morning, but you switched out with Meg so she could have mornings, right? I keep trying to remind myself to enjoy the holidays because I just want to rush through and get back to school! I did CPR at a place called CPR Now. It is off of Boudreaux and Lain Rd. in Northwest Harris County (Spring). They are awesome, super fast and they do the class we need every Saturday at 9 a.m. Check them out on the web if you want. You get your card the same day. Keep in touch!

I don't know exactly what Kingwood's process is, but I got my background check card from the Board of Nursing after I got the fingerprint scan done for CyFair.

ERICA!!!! Congratulations! I will see you at orientation tomorrow girl! I was hoping that you would get in! :up::p:up: I can't wait to get all the info. on schedules, etc. I spoke with another new student when I went to turn in all my paperwork and she said we will be getting to schedule our classes tomorrow. I don't know what I'll be wearing tomorrow, but I will have an olive green/brown tote bag from Smith & Hawken with me. Try to find me so we can chat. Looking forward to meeting you!

Someone who wants to keep it around!!

I hadn't checked in a while, but saw the stethoscope "conversation" and wanted to pass along that my mom (a Kingwood grad!) found that when she bought one in an obnoxious color (currently she has an orange Littman and has kept it for years) it didn't grow legs and walk off. You can find them in tons of colors - especially on Ebay for $60 or so. Just a thought. Hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving. HEy, I just figured out that an orange one will actually match my uniform if I end up at Cy-Fair!

For anyone who hasn't done CPR yet, check out cpr-now.com. They do the one for heathcare providers every Sat. a.m. at 9. We were done by 11:30 because they have mannequins for everyone, no waiting to take turns. It was great. It's also the AHA one that lasts 2 years.

She does seem nice. She actually started there in '93, right after my mom graduated from the LVN program. She said they will start calling after the next orientation. If there are any students that didn't come to one of the orientation sessions, their spots will be up for grabs. Here's hoping someone doesn't show!

Okay, so I was a couple of minutes late and didn't get to meet everyone. If you saw me come in, I had on a sort of army green top and jeans. It appears I am one of the top alternates, so you guys may just have to put up with me! Did everyone enjoy it? :yeah:Yea! First official "nursing school" thingy.

oh RJ! I'm so sorry you got hurt. I guess we'll all see each other tomorrow afternoon! It may be a waste of time for me, but, since they still can't tell me where I am on the alternate list, I'll be there. I hope you heal quickly. I can't imagine how painful that must be!

I painted with the girls this summer. Chocolate brown and light blue in one room and pink and brown (one wall with stripes - that was 12 hours of fun!) in the other. I LOVE painting walls. It is kind of nice to just blank out and focus on the job at hand - music too! I will be at the orientation on Friday (just in case ). Looking forward to meeting you guys!

He's proud of you! So funny that you're doing the home improvement thing. I was painting like a mad woman all weekend! All the loose ends have to be tied up soon! Congrats on the milestone MOM!

:lol2:me too!

Yes, I was accepted at CyFair, alternate at Kingwood. They sent it in a letter. I figured I'd give you the heads up just in case. I hope a spot opens up for you. It would be nice to kinda know somebody.

Okay, got the info. from CyFair today. I made an appointment with F.A.S.T. to get fingerprinted for a TX criminal history record check. It's $44.20 (check or money order) or $45.69 if paying by credit card. I got an appointment for tomorrow afternoon. They say it takes a week for the check to get done. Also, they included orientation information. It is from 8:30 - 3:00 on 12/4 in the College Denter, CENT 152. There was also a release form included that was an okay to share information with the clinical agencies that they are affiliated with and the Board of Nursing. That is the latest I've got ~ hope it helps.:paw:
