We are in the process of revising our BSN curriculum. Our theory/didactic courses are currently combined with a clinical component. Our dean would like us to separate our courses. We currently don't give a letter grade for the clinical portion. It is...

I'm an instructor at UTHSCSA. There is no magic GPA but in general most students have a GPA of 3.5 and above. You must have a 3.0 to be competitive. Other things are also looked at such as interview, TEAS test score, etc.

You will be amazed at how much you really know. Don't worry about the other students and "what experience they already have". Most students don't have experience. Just prepare for your clinical the day before by reading up on the diagnosis your patie...

I am a professor at a university. We had 400+ qualified applicants this semester and accepted 130. We would love to accept more but can't because there is a shortage of nursing faculty. I would say to decide what your long term goals are. If you want...

RossaysoonRN, I'm not sure why you are getting so defensive. I was just trying to help demarys who asked a question. You are correct that 2.2 # is equal to 1 kg. What you did incorrectly was divide 17.14 by 2.2 instead of converting your oz to pounds...

Yes this is inappropriate. If some are afraid to go to the Dean personally, then write an anonymous letter with specific incidents, etc. I would go to the course coordinator first and if there is no resolution, go to the Dean.

As a clinical instructor myself, I feel it is important to have a caring, open attitude with students. This helps them to feel less intimidated and enhances learning in my opinion. I don't really know why some nursing instructors and nurses in genera...

I am a pediatric nursing instructor. The method used by JennieB30 is the most widely used method. I'm sorry RosssaysoonRN but your answer is incorrect.

The VA hospital has a program as well.

What schools do you teach at?

UT Austin has an excellent nursing school. They do have several prerequisites that you are required to take at UT. They do that so that they know the quality of classes their students are receiving. Otherwise, if someone took it somewhere else they ...

My husband and I are both nurses. I am pedi and he cares for adults. It has worked out great for us. We have worked in the same facility and at different facilities. Both have worked out fine. It has been really nice because we understand when the ot...

This looks reasonable to me. The only thing I would take a look at is the # of lab hours in the Fall semester. Since you have 2 classes with labs in the Fall, you may consider moving a class to the Spring semester where you only have one class with ...

Whoa!!! I didn't mean to "**** you off" debcam1. I was just trying to offer some encouragement and support. I don't believe I said "you were too picky" either. I'm sorry things are not going well in your job search. I guess Texas is better as far ...

Even though I am a peds nurse, my husband is an adult nurse so this info is from him: Both Methodist Metropolitan and Baptist M.C. are downtown hospitals. Methodist is part of HCA, a for-profit hospital system. Methodist would be a more community fe...

The medical center area, northwest, and north central SA are the most popular areas to live in. I've been a nurse here for over 20 years. Let me know if you have any other questions.

I am a nursing instructor and practicing RN in San Antonio, TX. I have been hearing from recent graduates that, "there aren't any jobs available" for new grads. What they should be saying is, "the job I dreamed of having" is not currently available....

I know that Case Western Reserve has a DNP program with an educator focus.

They are currently revising the TEAS exam. I don't think the newest version will be available until October 2009 though. The new exam will focus more on math and science. Go to atitesting.com and I recommend getting the study guide and online assessm...

I totally agree with the other posters. Many hospitals have or are now phasing out LVN/LPNs. Pay and opportunities are much greater for RNs.
