Hello, I also applied and am waiting for my acceptance. Texas Tech requires statistics for admission. I was not accepted the first time I applied because I had not taken stat yet. Also, from what I understand they do accept everyone who meets the min...

Hi! I am going to apply to WC nursing program in June for spring 2011. I wanted to work on getting my vaccinations next month. This is probably a silly question, but do you just go to your family physician to do that? And do I need to ask for somethi...

I have a friend on Facebook who works (not a nurse, but works at the desk) in the ER at a hospital in my area. She sometimes posts things on facebook that happen at work in the ER. Recently, I saw that she made a post about the shift she was working,...

You should think like a nurse rather than a mom. Give the medications in the hospital. That's your responsibility to your patient.

For those who will be doing clinicals at Plaza, your clinical instructor is really great. She is so calm and nice. Good luck!

It's awesome! I have had a great first semester. It is what you make it though, so always remember that. Keep a positive attitude (and it will be hard). NS is so tough, but also rewarding. Listen to advice from your instructors, study almost everyday...

Hey, I would recommend going with V-neck. Everyone in this semester has one. All of the clinical instructors will have different requirements, but some are VERY particular and I don't think they will be changing their ways anytime soon, lol. A lot of...

Hey I just wanted to remind y'all, TNSA also sells scrubs for $2 a piece. You may be able to go to the TNSA office after orientation to see what they have. Last semester, they gave us a mini tour of the TREC and that is where we picked up our nursing...

I was accepted to the nursing program last app period. Our schedules were posted at the campus and we were able to go up there and look at them. They may do it differently this time because of security at the TREC campus or something. I can't remembe...

Congrats to all of you!!!

M/W 1-7 clinical T/Th 10-12 lecture Thurs 1:30-4:30 skills Skills will always be on a day of your lecture, not the day of clinical. It's only 1 day per week. the morning clinical is from 7-1 I think.

@txhusker-I believe there was only one Saturday clinical offered (10 students) this semester. They will put you at a hospital (make sure that you update your address with the nursing department, not just the school if you have moved recently) near wh...

My schedule works out for me. I quit working right before school started. I really don't see how I could work and do this at the same time. I also have no children. I do plan to get a job after this semester is over (part-time). Nursing school is ext...

Hey all! Not sure if this helps, but Student an Txhusker are correct. You would not be able to take other nursing classes and graduate early. It is a set program and you will have to follow it. Also, the classes will all be at the TREC so that must b...

Hi! Who is applying to Weatherford for the spring 2011 semester? I took the TEAS yesterday and didn't do as well as I was hoping. I am going to retake it and hopefully then I will have 18 or 19 points. It seems that the point system has changed and i...

Student-No, I didn't pay for two drug tests. I found out about TCC before the drug test for WC was due (barely) so I just paid for TCC. I was super bummed about paying for the background check 2X's though. TCC does the check through Group1 and then f...

I'm not sure of any online schools for BSN. Have you considered an ADN program?

You can also ask someone at a hair salon for help with this issue too. They should be able to give you some tips for styling your hair.

You may want to think about having your hair texturized (thinned out). You can have that done at an upscale salon. You will be able to keep your long hair but have it weigh a LOT less. Then every other time or every two times that you get your hair c...

Hey guys, I applied and was accepted to the fall program at TCC. I just wanted to wish you all the best of luck! I'm going in to my 4th week and am loving it!!! Student- All of the nursing schools do not do the same background check!! WC used L1 but...

It is really going to vary from school to school. Most schools don't have the exact same criteria. An example is, some may only look at your science GPA an entrance exam scores. It just varies. I would suggest looking at the nursing program websites ...

Okay, so maybe it is a HIPAA violation if she gave the date that the patient came into the hospital? I did find a list of HIPAA regulated patient identifiers and "dates" is on the list. Either way, it seems like there is a fine line that she seems V...

Again, she is not my coworker. No, it is not the same thing at all...at least not from my a point of view. I don't do clinicals at the location where my friend works, nor am I employed there. Not to mention, I did not say what hospital it was, I just...

This person is not my coworker. I never asked or implied that I was interested in reporting this person to anyone. I was simply curious about it. I am not a whistle blower. I am a new nursing student. We have talked a bit about HIPPA and what is okay...

The friend who wrote the post actually said that when they (doctor or nurse, not sure) were assessing her, the mom freaked out and took the daughter out of the ER. So, she (the child) did not get whatever treatment she needed.
