    RADIATION_RN replied to shototsu's topic in Texas Nursing

    Hybrid has 3 lecture teachers but like someone from CEC said, it doesn't matter who you register for because they all teach us the content. The only time it would make a difference would be in...

    I use the WebMD app because it has great disease, drug, and treatment info. Qx Calculate I used for EVERY care plan when I wanted to calculate my patient's BMI. Micromedex is another great medication...

    I can only speak about the clinical sites we did in hybrid. Texas Neuro Rehab and North Austin Medical Center did not require us to have drug tests. Cedar Park Regional Medical Center on the other...

    First 8 weeks of level 1 we strictly used the nursing skills book which for us was the Harkreader one. Second eight weeks we used the "Bible" which is the super large Med Surg book. Honestly, even...

    Yes, they do one every semester. It's not mandatory but it is informative. You sit with your campus classmates and you spend the day rotating through stations. They do a question and answer session...

    Not everyone has a Littman. I have had the Littman Master Classic II for years now at work. I got that one because the oncologist I work for told me his got him through medical school and he still...

    Don't stress too much, the dosage calculation test you take in the first two weeks of level 1 only covers basic p.o. med calculations. We had some students freak and study everything, including IV...

    I bought the medical plain white Sketchers. They have a tiny piece of gray around the name logo on the side and those were fine for me. I ordered mine online but they had some white tennis shoes for...

    RADIATION_RN replied to shototsu's topic in Texas Nursing

    It can go either way. I've heard graduates getting a job right away and I've heard some have a hard time. Make connections early, starting first semester. Do well in clinical, make friends, make...

    RADIATION_RN replied to shototsu's topic in Texas Nursing

    If you made all C's in your 5 pre-reqs and it doesn't add up to 2.7 then you still couldn't apply. They stress doing well in your pre-reqs because it raises your chances of getting in. ACC is just...

    RADIATION_RN replied to shototsu's topic in Texas Nursing

    I believe you have to have a GPA of at least 2.7 in the 5 pre-req classes to even apply. They won't accept any classes below a

    RADIATION_RN replied to TheHotPinkLady's topic in Texas Nursing

    You'll get in no problem! It is a shame that we lost so many people this past semester. I think the top reasons would be 1) they just could not understand the unique test questions. Nursing exams are...

    Hybrid is actually very structured. We have the same strict deadlines and and assigned readings that the students on campus do. Actually we do have lecture seminars but they are done from the comfort...

    RADIATION_RN replied to shototsu's topic in Texas Nursing

    Hmmmm good question. I think the main thing between the sites and working would be lecture. In hybrid of course it is done online and you can do it whenever you wish. From the onsite people I know I...

    No prob!! I know how it is to be waiting for acceptance and taking all the darn pre-reqs which feels like it will take forever to complete. Ask any questions you can think

  25. SAC nursing program fall 2011

    RADIATION_RN replied to sacnstudent's topic in Texas Nursing

    LOL yup we are a 2 year ADN program also. I think we are one of the few schools who require Pharmacology as a pre-req instead of taking it during the actual program itself. Not only do we have to pass...
