    Fly_Dayton replied to AriaRN's topic in Texas Nursing

    We will be doing 2 per week. Plus going to the hospital the day before clinicals to prepare our

    Fly_Dayton replied to AriaRN's topic in Texas Nursing

    You'll go to the ADN office on the first floor in the main portion of the

    Fly_Dayton replied to AriaRN's topic in Texas Nursing

    Yeah, I got it. Just didn't realize they were providing for both days. I guess if you get hungry easily it's a good deal. I think I'll pass both

  4. San Jacinto College ADN Fall 2009

    Fly_Dayton replied to AriaRN's topic in Texas Nursing

    You won't regret it because you'll be excited that you're finally able to start your journey towards becoming a nurse. Lots of people got denied that opportunity. It's exciting! That is strange...

  5. San Jacinto College ADN Fall 2009

    Fly_Dayton replied to AriaRN's topic in Texas Nursing

    There should be clinical instructors. And yeah, they should go over this and a whole lot more at orientation, so don't freak out about all this information. They're not going to tell you to do...

    Fly_Dayton replied to AriaRN's topic in Texas Nursing

    I agree. Going to Ben Taub was a blessing for me as a surg tech. Yeah, it'd be nice to work close to home, but that's not going to benefit any of us at all. Keep an open

    Fly_Dayton replied to AriaRN's topic in Texas Nursing

    To me, not really. They don't have to learn the amount of stuff that nurses do. I'd say overall, it's easier, but not the

  8. San Jacinto College ADN Fall 2009

    Fly_Dayton replied to AriaRN's topic in Texas Nursing

    It was okay, but I wanted more patient interaction. A surgical technologist (or scrub, you'll hear that term thrown around too) just seems disconnected from the patient. They're busy getting all the...

    Fly_Dayton replied to AriaRN's topic in Texas Nursing

    Well this one was for the surgical technology program. I really think they should make a class for those interested in the medical field, because it really puts you ahead as far as learning things. I...

    Fly_Dayton replied to AriaRN's topic in Texas Nursing

    Haha, yeah I remember taking my medical terminology class and just sitting there bewildered. It definitely takes time to think with those words. Pretty soon it will be your primary vocabulary. Makes...

    Fly_Dayton replied to AriaRN's topic in Texas Nursing

    Yay for dot connecting. I still haven't ordered mine. Haven't found the money yet. I won't be too sad if I don't get the ones I want. I'm sure they'll drill it into our heads. Be glad when I finish...

  12. San Jacinto College ADN Fall 2009

    Fly_Dayton replied to AriaRN's topic in Texas Nursing

    Yeah, they'll assuage our fears at orientation, so don't fear! That should be enough time. Well, sometimes it's enough time. I've had dogs that were never housetrained because they just never could...

    Fly_Dayton replied to AriaRN's topic in Texas Nursing

    It's a second semester class, and I'm not taking it in the fall because...I'm not taking it in the fall : D They won't sign you up for a class that's not what you need to take. I was just being silly....

    Fly_Dayton replied to AriaRN's topic in Texas Nursing

    I like the way you think! Congratulations Melissa! Puppies rock. Then they grow, and so does their appetite. It's like children :

  15. San Jacinto College ADN Fall 2009

    Fly_Dayton replied to AriaRN's topic in Texas Nursing

    That sounds about right momof3. I was a bit confused because I don't think my doctor wrote anything like that on mine. Learn something new everyday : ) I want to be excited about orientation, but it...

    Fly_Dayton replied to AriaRN's topic in Texas Nursing

    Haha, I don't think you have chickenpox. Unless you've got tons of little dots on your body. That's kind of a funny mistake though : D As long as the nursing people say you're fine, you're fine....

  17. San Jacinto College ADN Fall 2009

    Fly_Dayton replied to AriaRN's topic in Texas Nursing

    Were you ever vaccinated for chickenpox? I don't know why they would tell you not to get a titer but tell me to...that's a bit odd haha. That sounds about right. Once you get your CPR card, just make...

    Fly_Dayton replied to AriaRN's topic in Texas Nursing

    Haha, don't be too worried about the CPR stuff. They will pass you come hell or high water. Just be prepared to use your arms and upper body A LOT. Real CPR isn't nearly as taxing though, which I...

    Fly_Dayton replied to AriaRN's topic in Texas Nursing

    That's a good question. Maybe one of the peeps in the program will drop by to answer

  20. San Jacinto College ADN Fall 2009

    Fly_Dayton replied to AriaRN's topic in Texas Nursing

    That is a good thing. The only thing I'm looking at is, am I going to be using it right now? If not, I'm not going to waste my money now. I'm already gonna' be out 300 dollars before I even set foot...

    Fly_Dayton replied to AriaRN's topic in Texas Nursing

    I'm only going to order the Fundamentals of Nursing book, as I already have a medical dictionary and the internet for my terminology. Doesn't hurt that I also took a medical terminology class before :...

  22. San Jacinto College ADN Fall 2009

    Fly_Dayton replied to AriaRN's topic in Texas Nursing

    At first glance it appears like a lot, but like I said earlier, it's the same two books (unless they've changed what I saw a week ago). It's the Fundamentals book, and the Terminology/Dictionary book....

  23. San Jacinto College ADN Fall 2009

    Fly_Dayton replied to AriaRN's topic in Texas Nursing

    The Foundations book is going to cover the majority of our classes (if not all of them). If you type in all of the classes we're taking this fall, that book, and the dictionary/terminology book shows...

    Fly_Dayton replied to AriaRN's topic in Texas Nursing

    I'm not going to get the Littman scope and subsequent stuff that comes with it because I already have a stethoscope. I bought mine from the bookstore, and it works just fine. No need to overpay for a...

    Fly_Dayton replied to AriaRN's topic in Texas Nursing

    Yeah, it seems kind of dumb at first, but I'll probably end up doing my laundry so that it ends up with them clean for the last two days. It's about the last thing on my list of things to be concerned...
