1. Go into nursing for the money?

   TheERMurse replied to jackhensy's topic in General Nursing

   More of a career transition for me, but the better pay doesn't hurt. Was already doing patient care as an EMT-P and PCT. Transition to an RN was a natural move on my career path. Never gonna get...

2. Can someone give me feedback about science at UTA, PLEASE!

   TheERMurse replied to Trenata's topic in University of Texas Arlington

   Ok, when I took it, the exams are not proctored, but they are timed. I graduated from the BSN program last year and proctorU was not being used. For the labs, you purchase a lab kit and some things...

3. Need Nclex RN study tips

   TheERMurse replied to Krn2be's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

   There are really only 2 ways to fail a test. The first is knowledge deficit, basically you don't know the material. The second is self-sabotage, having a really high test anxiety or second guessing...

4. Need Nclex RN study tips

   TheERMurse replied to Krn2be's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

   Any of those materials you mentioned should be enough to help you pass the NCLEX. Are you doing well on the practice tests? What is happening to you when you take the test? Are you having lot's of...

5. to those who passed, how many hours and how long do you study for nclex preparation

   TheERMurse replied to KimmyBumbum's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

   I did not study at all for about 2 months. Then studied for 2 or 3 hours a few days before the exam. To be really honest, working in healthcare for twelve years provides quite a bit of experience....

6. Pregnant and nursing school?

   TheERMurse replied to JNcCole15's topic in General Students

   Finishing is certainly doable while in nursing school. Out of the 10 people in my clinical group, three of them got pregnant(obviously not me). All three of them were also working some while in...

7. The "Art" of Skimming...

   TheERMurse replied to Fever4RN's topic in General Students

   I did not read everything while in school, way too much to actually read. There were always powerpoints or .pdf files to look at for each class. I only read sections as needed for complete...

8. What was/are the 3 things that got/get you through nursing school?

9. Fall 2014- Traditional BSN

   TheERMurse replied to dandywell's topic in University of Texas Arlington

   I would say your ok for the most part with those grades, but it is a competitive program to get into. You can take the HESI again for a higher overall grade, it is the same test each time. Study and...

10. How long to hear back?

    TheERMurse replied to applesxoranges's topic in University of Texas Arlington

    As far as I know, you have to send a transcript from each school attended to get the transfer credit. That information should be on the FAQ on the admissions page. The OP mentioned a $1000 off, is...

11. How long to hear back?

    TheERMurse replied to applesxoranges's topic in University of Texas Arlington

    I was able to go from application submission to being able to register for classes in about 5 weeks. This includes getting transcripts in and evaluated as well. This was a couple years ago, so I am...

13. Why does school have to be made to be (seemingly) unneccesarily difficult?

    TheERMurse replied to Guitarstrings's topic in General Students

    I will chime in as well. I have gone to school for a couple things now and would say nursing school is about medium difficulty in the grand scheme of things. I would rate my experience in Electrical...

14. UTA AP-BSN clinical schedules?

    TheERMurse replied to flyingauntmimi's topic in University of Texas Arlington

    Clinicals are 2 days a week on consecutive days, often centered on the weekend(Fri/Sat, Sat/Sun, Sun/Mon, etc.). My group was Sat/Sun "most" of the time for clinicals. Our test day was on Thursday...

15. UTA AP BSN Spring 2014

    TheERMurse replied to Determined621's topic in University of Texas Arlington

    It is actually more like three times a week, two clinical days and test day. You have a test almost every week starting on the second week of each semester. You may be slotted into any local...
