Okay, I just got a job as a CNA, I am a pre-nursing student waiting for my acceptance to the RN program in San Antonio Baptist, and this is my first time really wearing scrubs in a facility other than my CNA clinicals. As I was ironing my scrubs for...

I go to BSHP's day program. When I applied last year, I had to take the NET, so I'm not sure what you need for the TEAS. I know that they base their acceptance rate on both the test scores and your prereq GPA, and that your GPA is a big part of th...

I go to Baptist School of Health Professions, and it is an ADN program. It's also pretty competetive to get in, they accepted 55 out of 230 last fall. Baptist is the oldest nursing school in the city, and it is affiliated with the Baptist Health Sy...

So how are we all doing? Is everyone ready for Orientation? I picked up some navy scrubs today and the patches that go on them. What do y'all think about the book list?

I am on the work study loan as well, I just signed my contract. It is 18% for payback now. If you end up having to move, I believe there is a clause providing for that where you switch to making payments on the loan. I wasn't expecting to have my ...

I just got my acceptance email today into the Baptist Professional Nursing program in San Antonio. We start in the fall. WOW! I'm SO excited!!!!

I can't wait either! I almost can't wrap my head around it. We are going to nursing school in 3 months!!!

Is everyone's Processing Day the same? Mine is Friday, July 3rd, from 1-3 p.m.

Congratulations!!!!

I just got my email.... I GOT IN!!!! WAHOOOOOOOOOO!!!!

I am a brand new nurse's aide, I finished school 3 weeks ago and my state exam is on May 31. I work at the LTC facility where I did my clinicals, in a really awesome private pay unit portion of the campus. I love everyone I work with, and I love ho...

When I took my transcripts from the spring 2009 semester, they did say it would definitely help.

I wonder if that means it's more competetive this year or what. Does anyone know what is considered competetive on the net scores and pre-requisite GPA? I know there are over 200 applicants and 50 spots. Lol, I really wish classes would start so I...

So I got an email the other day from Baptist, but it was only because one of my transcripts never arrived. I did get a chance to ask how things were going with the applications, and she said that we should hear in the first week of June. Anyone el...

I think the answer to your questions lie in how good you are at math. College algebra during the summer with 3 other classes will kill you if you aren't strong in math. If you are very strong in math, it may be a good balance for the other 3 classe...

You know, I have been shocked how much the physiology stuff like this does come back up. It was a big part of microbiology for us, and I have seen questions about it on both the NET and the HESI. It is good to make that info part of you. I have no...

I think you have to call your State Nursing Board and ask them, and they can tell you for sure. Good luck!

I just saw this post, I don't know if you still need answers. I did all of my prerequisites at St. Philip's, and a lot of the people I was in class with were LVN graduates from St. Philips working towards their RN. I know that the deadline for appl...

Good to know! Thanks!

None of mine seem to be permanent press, and I have a few different brands. After washing they are very rumpled. I guess permanent press means not 100% cotton. Which brands are permanent press?

Wow that is exciting! Thank you for explaining that to me. I am so looking forward to taking Nutrition because I so enjoyed Anatomy and Physiology and Microbiology. I love all these different facets of biology that I've been exposed to. I can't w...

Ok, so I am 36 and I finished A&P I and II already. I got A's, but I have to agree that the key to doing well in that class is to discern what you need to know and what you don't need to know. Go to the study labs if there are any and ask lots ...

I have been checking out all the various local nursing schools in case I don't get in to Baptist and I went to Galen last week. It was a very nice building, all the latest technology and equipment, and wow what a laboratory! But the cost of the sch...

Nutrition helps with care plans? Can you explain how? This is very applicable to me, I am taking nutrition in the summer and hopefully RN school in the fall.

You're welcome! It's gonna work out. I hated that part of the test!
