    Meliss214 replied to AriaRN's topic in Texas Nursing

    So I guess we'll have time in our schedule for the additional visit to the hospital to prepare for our clinicals that week. I didn't know we had to drive 3 days per week to the hospital. Who told you...

    Meliss214 replied to AriaRN's topic in Texas Nursing

    Shana, I remember being told at orientation that we are responsible for getting to the hospitals where we will meet with the instructors. We were also told that if we miss 2 clinical sessions, we...

    At orientation we were told that they could send us anywhere from Baytown to Sugarland to the Katy area. I would rather drive a longer distance to learn at a more reputable

    I bought the pharm cards on Amazon for $20. Right now I'm just trying to understand how all the A&P and micro info is connected to the pharmacology side. I also need to review all the medical...

    I figure I have 4 1/2 weeks left to house train him and then, depending on my schedule, he'll be limited to the newspaper in his crate. I plan to have a petsitter come by on the days that I have class...

    So you're going to wear the same scrubs twice duing the week? I guess that wouldn't be a problem as long as you didn't sweat too much that day. So I'll only buy 3 sets of scrubs and 2 clinical outfits...

    Meliss214 replied to AriaRN's topic in Texas Nursing

    Well now that we've studied the kidneys, we should be curious about what they find in that special cup. So do we need to bring a copy of our pre-requistes to show proof of completing

    So now I need to find out why I have a hold on my account. I was trying to register for a PE class on the weekend since I know we don't have any classes on the weekend right? I shopped around online...

    Meliss214 replied to AriaRN's topic in Texas Nursing

    My account says it has a "hold" on it so I'm guessing that the nursing dept has frozen my account since I can't register until after orientation. I went to Amazon.com to order my pharm flash cards. I...

    Meliss214 replied to AriaRN's topic in Texas Nursing

    No wonder I couldn't register for a pe class in the fall. Now what's a ppd? I'm sure it will take a week to get my physical completed since they have to do a blood panel right? Just love taking it...

    Having worked as a teacher for 14 yrs, I'm not as anxious as you are to get back to work. And I don't know what you mean by "schooling all of you" because all of this medical terminology is foreign to...
