  1. Very Unique Situation/Student

    akijitsu replied to revolution's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Revolution, Let me mirror your (unspoken) frustration that our economy/scoiety does not allow one to move easily from one field to the other. I had an excellent job in the allied health field that was...

  2. Texas Applicants for Fall of 2009

    akijitsu replied to msjessegirl's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Do the instructions say to do it like that? (put in your essay on the analytical?). I'm sure it does not matter one way or the other, but I think this is actually a VERY old data entry for the GRE....

    akijitsu posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  6. beware nursing schools in texas!

    akijitsu replied to akijitsu's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Lilly, I couldn't agree more that an NCLEX first time pass rate of 60% is too low. In fact, I know someone who went from HCC to the school you speak of, and he said he didn't even have to crack a book...

  7. beware nursing schools in texas!

    akijitsu replied to akijitsu's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Lilly, Definetly be aware of the graduation rate, the nclex pass rate does not really tell you much. The BON standards are the same for all schools in Texas to retain accrediation, and that is an 80%...

  10. Do I need Hesi?

    akijitsu replied to nellybly18's topic in Texas Nursing

    I'm graduating in a few days from a school here in Houston. I think the main reason they want HESI is to make sure you will pass NCLEX and they won't have wasted time on you. They may also use it as a...

  13. Any one applying for HCC ADN program for spring 09?

    akijitsu replied to reeindoubt's topic in Texas Nursing

  14. Hospital job with no experience

    akijitsu replied to NurseBettyICU's topic in Texas Nursing

    Yes, I'm sure you can get a job with no experience. Be sure to tell them you are either a nursing student or a pre-nursing student (depending on where you are at the time). If one or two places say...

  15. Your study habits: attribute or detriment

    akijitsu posted a topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I was just wondering what everyone felt of their own study habits. What are they and do you think they help or hurt you? Unless I get up early to study, I can only go in spurts of 30-45 minutes, then...

    akijitsu replied to RnBound0510's topic in Texas Nursing

    oh, one more thing. if you don't pass the math test in pharm, don't worry, you will get another chance near finals. MOST people who meet the requirements get in, even if they submit AFTER the...

    akijitsu replied to RnBound0510's topic in Texas Nursing

    I am getting ready to graduate from HCC (providing I can pass the HESI exit, but I expect to). Here is some info... 1. the A&P is tough on the HESI entrance. If you don't pass it, try to remember...

    akijitsu posted a topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Does anyone KNOW someone who went to UT Houston with an ADN and a BS, and did not have a BSN? Their web page states a BSN requirement for all MSN programs, but I have read other posts that state "all...

  21. Who else is in Baylor?!?!?

    akijitsu replied to jlrrn's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I live in Houston and love it. Summers are hot but AC is good. Can anyone tell me if Baylor offers their students health insurance? I'm sure you have to pay but just wondering if it's

  22. How much $ did it take to get you through your CRNA program?

    akijitsu replied to Future-nurse's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    This was a question I had as well. I'm hoping to attend a 30 month program. Tuition will be around 50K, and i think living will cost me around 2.5k per month for my family. I'll have some cash saved...

    akijitsu posted a topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

  24. What is your "wash out" rate?

    akijitsu replied to akijitsu's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

  25. What is your "wash out" rate?

    akijitsu replied to akijitsu's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Though this discussion may be interesting to those wanting to get into school, it really isn't applicable to them because they are not there yet, and thus couldn't answer the question(s)? The question...
