  1. San Antonio college

    Dottie, RN replied to myrose's topic in Texas Nursing

    Oh gosh, I'm with you on that...I've never been a math whiz, so that part scares me too. I'm nervous but trying to get myself prepared. I have not done the CPR course yet, but I'm also signed...

  2. San Antonio college

    Dottie, RN replied to myrose's topic in Texas Nursing

    Yeah, I'll be getting my TB test done Tuesday, and that's all I'll need. What is the difference between starting in March, than in January? So we are assigned an advisor? That wasn't stated in my...

  3. San Antonio college

    Dottie, RN replied to myrose's topic in Texas Nursing

    Wow, this is good to know...thanks for the warning. I'll need to have a long talk with my boss about all this. She is flexible, so I'm hoping she will be okay with it if I have to be out for school....

  4. Will I ever get into Nursing School???

    Dottie, RN replied to ryangogogo's topic in General Nursing

    Don't give up! You don't have to be the smartest kid to be successful. You WILL get into nursing school...it's just a matter of time. Keep in mind that things happen (or don't happen) for a good...

    Dottie, RN replied to myrose's topic in Texas Nursing

    I realize the last post was over a year ago, so I'm hoping to get a reply, but if not, that's ok. I just found out a couple weeks ago that I've been accepted into SAC's RN program! I'll be going in...

  6. Didnt make it into Baptist RN program so trying for LVN

    Dottie, RN replied to ladybugme!'s topic in General Nursing

    Congrats on getting accepted to the RN program! Although, there wouldn't have been anything wrong with going the LVN route, if that's what you would have had to do. A lot of others do it that way....

  7. Stop eating my food!

    Dottie, RN replied to FloridaRN09's topic in General Nursing

    It just appauls me that people do such things...needless to say, a DOCTOR. As much money as doctors make, you would think he could afford to buy his own lunch! So

  9. Pros and Cons of nursing

    Dottie, RN replied to nohika's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with your pros and cons, but the cons can be in any profession, not just in nursing. I'm not a nurse yet either, but I'll be starting nursing school this coming Spring. I've worked in an...

  11. San Antonio Adn Fall 09

    Dottie, RN replied to I got in 09's topic in Texas Nursing

    Hi, I Got in 09, I was wondering how things are going for you at SAC. I didn't get accepted into Baptist, so I applied to SAC for the spring 2010 (evening program). Since you've already started, I was...

    Dottie, RN posted a topic in General Students

    I just want to get this off my chest and get some feedback, and maybe some advice on what I should do. I applied to Baptist (RN evening program) for this fall but unfortunately, didn't get accepted....

  13. Accepted, but not sure what to do!

    Dottie, RN replied to Dottie, RN's topic in General Students

    Yes, I'm going to talk to the advisor and ask if there's a way I can get on the waiting list for the evening program, but as for working evenings and weekends, I'm not sure what kind of job I can get...

  14. Didnt make it into Baptist RN program so trying for LVN

    Dottie, RN replied to ladybugme!'s topic in General Nursing

    Don't give up! I know how you feel, because I too did not get accepted into Baptist (for the evening program) for the Fall 2009. I was also offered the LVN option, but can't do that, since I have to...

  15. Fake Nails

    Dottie, RN replied to Coloradogrl's topic in General Nursing

    The nursing school I applied to doesn't allow any type of fake nails, and nails can only be no more than 1/4" in. over the tip. IMO, it should be like that in every health care facility and that rule...

    Dottie, RN posted a topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Okay, I'm just venting...not trying to cause trouble, judge or bash all PCA's (or CNA's) because not all of them are like the one I experienced over the weekend. Just wanted to vent and get this off...

  17. Just Venting: PCA with an Attitude!

    Dottie, RN replied to Dottie, RN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I actually just wanted to get opinions from you all to see if this is common or not, because I've never encountered anyone in the healthcare field like this PCA. (I've visited the hospital and...

    I was wondering if anyone is attending or has graduated from this school. I have an appointment with a rep this afternoon, and I'm a little weary about it. They offer an evening LVN program, so...

  20. Texas Careers LVN Program

    Dottie, RN replied to Dottie, RN's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Well, in response to your question about going to school during the day, and working four hours/night, IMO, it's possible if you really want it. It won't be easy, but it's doable. Motivation is the...

  24. When a patient is dying, am I expecting too much?

    Dottie, RN replied to ShayRN's topic in General Nursing

    That is so horrible! IMO, I think you did everything right. It's not your job to go out and find the funeral home or make those arrangements. You told both daughters their mother was passing away soon...

  25. Anyone Applied to Baptist's Evening Program in San Antonio?

    Dottie, RN replied to Dottie, RN's topic in Texas Nursing

    Okay, not sure if any one else has called or emailed the advisor, but I emailed her last Thursday and she finally replied to my email this morning. She said that acceptance letters got pushed back...
