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 high in skill and most people would consider it "...

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. There is a column to enter your % for that third cat...

I am about to complete my application to Baylor. Did anyone notice the online Baylor app seems to be quite "old" The GRE portion asks you for a three part GRE score (GRE's haven't been scored on 3 parts since about 2001), and there is no room to put ...

I would do as the earlier poster suggested, but, as soon as you are enrolled in nursing classes (anything that starts with your schools nursingprefix), even if it's just a required prereq, like nursing as a career, or pharmacology, I would look for a...

Howdy all, I'll be posting this in the pre-student nursing forum too, but if anyone is just starting school, or not yet "in" and you are in texas, I suggest you seek out your school advisor and ask some questions. I find it unbelievable, but there ar...

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 to get a B. Meanwhile, he was doing all he could ...

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% first time pass rate for the NCLEX. This, unfourt...

Howdy all, Since my other forum didn't work, we can all meet up here to discuss our status. We are especially looking for info on how many didn't pass after the new test requirements were changed. Also, info you have on the next test day, etc, are we...

Midori, I am going to try and make the meeting. mike

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 scoring tool. If you are coming from out of state...

Txgrl, I tried to pm you but your inbox is full.

The evening group, who has mostly full time workers, graduates about 1/3 of the group the first time through (if you fail a class, stay with it and repeat as needed! almost everyone who fails makes it through as long as they don't drop out). if you h...

If you are thinking about applying until after you are done with pharm, you can go ahead and apply and they may take you for the fall after you pass pharm (if they have spots, they soemtimes still have openings at the end of the summer). go in to the...

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 no, keep looking. There are lots of openings, just c...

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 I have to get up and do something else for 15-30 m...

another thing...if you think you are going to get in, go ahead and start the hep b series, they let you know you need to have it finished by a certain date, but they tell you too late since it takes 6 months or something like that.

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 deadline. if you have all the requirements, i would submit...

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 the things you didn't know, and then try to look t...

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 anesthesia programs in Texas accept ADN's with BS'...

To all who are interested, Just got an email back from the program director. You must have the BSN, no other degrees matter.

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 offered.

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 up, but has anyone looked at financing OTHER than s...

Howdy all, Looking at some posts both in this forum and in the PRE-CRNA forum, I'm interested to know what the "wash out" rate is at your, or other, schools? What rate do you think is fair? Part of the reason I ask is this....lots of nursing schools ...

There are a few things to think about... find the schools NCLEX pass rate of course, but also find the number of people they graduate compared to the number they admit. There are schools in the Houston area that fail over 50%, and sometimes as high a...

Actually, that last one is the easiest! AA school! Though not popular here!
