Just curious to know if anyone on allnurses.com has applied to TVCC in Kaufman? I'm guessing theres a long wait until the letters go out and thought we could form a mini support group! lol. Also, if there is anyone on here that has gone through the p...

It sounds like a great idea to start up a small clinic offering those services some day. There is a great need for this type of service, and you'll surely never get bored. From my experience, if you become a Nurse Practitioner with a specialty in Wom...

Chiss - we'll be JUST fine! Do you know when we should receive our letters? I've been hearing different things. One in April...and one in March. I'm sure it's bound to come sometime around then though. Hope to see ya soon at TVCC!!:)

LG - I'll be at the Kaufman location. I believe Palestine is where they have the LVN program. El Centro's nursing department staff are not the friendliest people at all. I've had numerous interactions with them that pulled me away from considering go...

Thank you! I will definitely post the news once I receive my letter. I'm excited. I'm also transferring from DCCCD so don't worry about that! I heard good things about Brookhaven's program and have a friend that is currently in the nursing program th...

It's hard to change your biological clock from what it is used to. You may just need to invest in some really dark curtains to keep the sun out in your bedroom and make yourself sleep at a certain time everyday. Eventually, you being tired from work...

I think you said it just right - keep your mind, and especially your HEART on your ultimate goal, and you will be just fine! Many people have done it already and just know that you can too. I think the main thing to is believe in yourself and know th...

Hello, I've been hearing that El Centro's RN program for the Fall 09' semester is having a low turnout of applications. I'm not sure if this information is factual or rumors, but just wondering if any of you have heard anything about that and if so, ...

Congrats mom35! I knew you would get in! Worrying is such a waste of time, glad you can relax a little and prepare for your future ahead. As for me, I'm currently taking classes at El Centro, but will not be applying to their program. I'm applying to...

mom35...haven't heard from you today...did you get your letter??

Trek, congrats on your acceptance to Brookhaven's program! You'll probably be much happier~ I've heard so many good things about the porgram and the support of their instructors. Also...100% pass rate on NCLEX...you can't beat that! mom35...I'm sure...

No letter for me yet, either. I'm sure it will come tomorrow. I hope everyone posts their results so we can cheer each other on! One more day folks...stay positive and keep the FAITH!

That's right! I've left the rest to God a long time ago. Thanks for the encouragement.

I applied to El Centro/Northlake as well. I really don't have any preferences on whether or not it is El Centro or Northlake...but it would be nice to be at El Centro to just ride the train there instead of driving in crazy traffic all the time!! Eit...

I think that you are making a wise decision by considering the LVN to sustain your family. Once you are a "nurse" the door is always open to easily further your education online, through work (which will pay for you) and through universities/communit...

CONGRATULATIONS!!! 2 years from now, I will be praising God when I pass the NCLEX as well!! Glad that you have it over with and I wish you well in your career paths, wherever you decide to go!

Well, I suppose that was just a rumor as I suspected. Thanks for checking on that mom35. I'm looking forward to the program (mostly finishing)...maybe we'll be in the same class. The wait is coming to an end pretty soon. Keep the faith!

Congratulations on your acceptance letter to TVCC for the Fall semester! That is a great milestone to reaching your dreams. Don't be scared, trust in God for everything and that will get you through. God didn't bring you thus far to leave you hanging...

I'll have to join you in commending all of the oncology nurses out there. My sister is a breast cancer survivor and it was GOD who blessed us with wonderful nurses that gave endless comfort and care. Thank YOU!!

I would think the 24/48 hour shifts may be a little rigorous for you during your nursing education. However, I'm sure any fire department would love to have you especially with your nursing knowledge. You may want to talk to a potential fire departme...

Try taking some vitamin C (1000mg a day) along with a cod liver oil tablet. Or just the Vitamin C would be good enough.

You deserve better! I'm sure there are other avenues for you to do. Not sure what city in Texas you are in but try looking for clinics that are apart of major hospitals.

Wow! Amazing idea. I think what you did...taking your LPN boards first was a very wise decision. I think I'll follow that same thing. Thanks!

God brought you thus far...he won't fail you! Breathe deeply and pace yourself. Study often knowing that it will all be over soon. Believe in yourself. You'll make a great nurse!

My first question would be if the patient has a record at the facility that could have been looking up because 9 times out of 10 people will not know what they prescribed every single patient at the top of their head. However, the yelling should NEV...
