    ncemt replied to Cailex's topic in Texas Nursing

    Okay, that's the one I was leaning towards- thanks!!! I'm applying for Spring of 2010, so I guess for me it would be spring, summer, fall, spring. Also, does anyone know whether they take AP...

  7. Fall 2009 UT Houston BSN Applicants

    ncemt replied to Cailex's topic in Texas Nursing

    So this should be pretty obvious, but I'm finding the UT-Houston webpage impossible to understand. Under the description for the generic BSN program, the program is referred to as being four...

  8. "Automated Anesthesia"?!? -- no need for Anesthesia staff in the room reported

    ncemt posted a topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    So I'm not even a nursing student yet but I've already shadowed a CRNA for 50 hours and I'm really dying to be one myself. I just saw this short piece in the New York Times about the important...

  9. How many classes do you have left?

    ncemt replied to Hausfrau's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I would probably think about taking the intro to bio class. Microbiology has a lot of pathways/cycles that you need to learn and understand (i.e. the Krebs cycle), and I found it much easier to...

  10. How many classes do you have left?

    ncemt replied to Hausfrau's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    That's my plan,

  11. How many classes do you have left?

    ncemt replied to Hausfrau's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Thank you! Of course I'm certainly open to any other suggestions, I really want to do well in both of those classes and get into nursing school! Pretty much everybody in my classes is pre-med, so it's...

  12. How many classes do you have left?

    ncemt replied to Hausfrau's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Wow, that's so cool that you've been accepted for Spring 2010 already! Spring 2010 will be the first time my top choice has a spring class, and they haven't even set the admissions deadline yet. So...

  13. How many classes do you have left?

    ncemt replied to Hausfrau's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Yeah- so my school is weird. My school actually doesn't have an "Anatomy and Physiology" class- we have an anatomy class and "animal physiology." So I'm taking the anatomy class (sort of the...

  14. How many classes do you have left?

    ncemt replied to Hausfrau's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    My top choice has a ton of prerequisites, which I'm working to complete as I finish my first degree. After spring semester I'll be finished with my science prerequisites and at least 40 of my 60...

    ncemt replied to er nursing's topic in Emergency

    I work as a tech in a peds ER triage area, and one time the chief complaint on the computer came up as "wants chile chicken." I couldn't believe it so I went over to registration, turned out there...

    ncemt replied to GreenAsTheyCome's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    GreenAsTheyCome- I'm in a somewhat similar boat, currently have two semesters left before I graduate with a BS (pre-med major) from a very good school and my GPA is not as high as it could be. I...

    ncemt replied to abbabask's topic in Texas Nursing

    I worked as a CA (clinical assistant- their version of a tech or CNA) in the Dell Children's ER last summer and absolutely LOVED it!!!!! Awesome environment, really fun people to work with, I would...

  18. Tell or DON'T tell colleagues/staff that you are pursuing CRNA?

    ncemt replied to SIGMACHIGUY's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I have a slightly different but related question. I'm currently applying to nursing schools, with the intention of becoming a CRNA (I will be a second-degree BSN student). Should I tell the...

    ncemt replied to PepeSilvia's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Well, it sounds like you're already leaning towards transferring, but I just wanted to let you know that things do get better. I went from Texas (where I had lived in the same neighborhood since...

  20. Anyone worried about throwing up or passing out?

    ncemt replied to c18436572's topic in General Students

    For me it's totally an observing vs. doing thing. In the last 4 years or so, I've passed out a grand total of 9 times in medical situations. Three of those were after giving blood, but the rest...

  21. Who Else Is Anxious to Get the Prereqs DONE and Start NURSING SCHOOL!!

    ncemt replied to smellyacres's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    No problem! I actually also live on the East Coast, am also a second-degree BSN applicant, and will also be going back home (Texas) for nursing school. It's nice to have other people to muddle through...

    I'm also currently working on my prereqs- have chem and nutrition done, will be done with micro next week, and will be taking A&P I and II next semester. My only advice would be to pair nutrition...

  23. I'm thinking about a career change and need advice. CPA to RN (Male)

    ncemt replied to CPAtoRN?'s topic in General Nursing

    I didn't mean to suggest that you yourself thought that (I understand if it was confusing), but I do think that Hollywood is way behind the real world in terms of perception of male nurses. Good...

  24. I'm thinking about a career change and need advice. CPA to RN (Male)

    ncemt replied to CPAtoRN?'s topic in General Nursing

    I don't have any personal experience in nursing yet, but I did want to point out that there are a lot of universities that offer very flexible online courses that count for prerequisites (I took a...

  25. I'm only 22 years old.

    ncemt replied to oncologynurse77's topic in General Nursing

    One way to look at it would be that you are only 22 but already have a great degree, wonderful (if challenging) job, and have the potential for an incredible career in nursing. I wish I could be...
