  1. What Would You Do If You Were In My Shoes?

    Guest 360983 replied to NewTexasRN's topic in General Nursing

    The good thing about Texas is that we have a low cost of living. That's why you'll be paid less. I live inside the loop in Houston, in a 2 bedroom 1000 sq ft apartment in a nice neighborhood and pay...

  2. Micro, Chemistry, and AP I (two in one semester)

    Guest 360983 replied to nnicolee's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'd take A&P and Chemistry. I had an easier time in Micro than most of my classmates because I have a significant chemistry background, so it might be helpful to have the chem before

  3. Know of Any ADN Programs With No Wait List?

    Guest 360983 replied to PMFB-RN's topic in General Nursing

    Most community colleges in Texas are merit based. Central Texas College (in Killeen) Temple College Austin Community College San Antonio College Lonestar College System Houston Community College San...

  4. Who has been a nurse in the military?

    Guest 360983 replied to RB2000's topic in General Nursing

    I was a medic in the Army, and LOVED it. I only got to work a short time before medical issues forced me to leave, but I got to work with some people who really knew their stuff. I did work in what...

  5. LPN or RN + rant

    Guest 360983 replied to Zaneman's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You shouldn't be paying $1000+ for a CNA class (unless you live in a really high cost of living area). Have you checked the continuing ed department at your community college? I'm getting mine (long...

  6. RN or RT

    Guest 360983 replied to kltt86's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Do you want your patients to be talking or not? (kidding) In my experience, from growing up with two RT parents: RTs generally spend less time with patients than nurses do, RTs generally have more...

  7. LPN or RN + rant

    Guest 360983 replied to Zaneman's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    actually, most vet programs require lots (sometimes hundreds) of hours of experience working with animals in order to be a competitive applicant. just saying. i'm confused--does your school require...

  8. UTMB Spring 2010

    Guest 360983 replied to ms.hopeful2013's topic in Texas Nursing

    Oh, I'm not going to UTMB. I live in Houston and love it, and my boyfriend's job is here, so I'm hoping to attend UT Houston in the fall. I just thought that the apartment locator might be able to...

  9. PharmD student - pursue FNP afterwards?

    Guest 360983 replied to BSNtoPharmD's topic in General Nursing

    If I'm not mistaken, most programs require a nursing degree AND experience as a nurse before acceptance into an advanced practice nursing

  10. UTMB Spring 2010

    Guest 360983 replied to ms.hopeful2013's topic in Texas Nursing

    For anyone who is looking for an apartment in Houston, I used http://www.intheloopproperties.com/ to find my apartment. They actually listened to my price range and stuck to it, so I highly recommend...

  11. New admission guidlines for hcc adn

    Guest 360983 replied to DMHG1812's topic in Texas Nursing

    That makes me angry. I've already taken the classes, so it's not that I will be less competitive, I'm just angry at how they handle admissions. When I went to an information session over the summer...

  12. Medical Microbiology online/hybrid at Lonestar

    Guest 360983 replied to milan18400's topic in Texas Nursing

    HCC has a few hybrid micro classes as well. This past semester they had Saturday morning, Saturday afternoon, and Thursday night ones. I think there were a few others, but those were the ones I saw....

  13. UT Houston Fall 2010 (University of Texas at Houston)

    Guest 360983 replied to mjbayuda's topic in Texas Nursing

    Well, I've taken math through calculus, but there's a huge difference between calc and fractions. I actually spent a few weeks trying to remember how to do fractions without a calculator again! You...

  14. UT Houston Fall 2010 (University of Texas at Houston)

    Guest 360983 replied to mjbayuda's topic in Texas Nursing

    I applied. I'm already nervous because it's the only BSN program I'm applying to. I live in Houston, so UTMB is too far for me, and I couldn't get all of my sciences completed this spring for TWU. I'm...

  15. Still penny pinching

    Guest 360983 replied to Williss2's topic in General Nursing

    If you want to track your spending, I'd suggest mint.com. You'll need to be signed up for online banking and to trust Mint enough to put in your online banking login info. The plus is that the site...

  16. How to Deal With an Award?

    Guest 360983 replied to neurontin's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I got an award at work that I wasn't really sure I earned, since it was pretty much for doing my job. My boyfriend reminded me that not everyone does their job well, and I should take pride in being...

  17. I am allergic to...

    Guest 360983 replied to SteffersRN87's topic in General Nursing

    My mother in law is "allergic" to beef... but not veal. She thinks she's allergic to beef because she made something with ground beef that was really greasy and it made her feel queasy. Veal is still...

  18. Loan Repayment

    Guest 360983 replied to ohmylove's topic in General Nursing

    Once you're out of school you can consolidate your loans. The cool thing about this is that there are a lot of repayment options. My boyfriend has a tiered repayment plan, where the first 5 years he...

  19. NET Math Help

    Guest 360983 posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I've been reviewing math problems, and I'm stuck on a particular type of question. I know someone answered this question in the past few months but I can't seem to find the post anymore! Any help...

  20. NET Math Help

    Guest 360983 replied to Guest 360983's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    tlc2u, thanks, that makes sense! It's not extra scientific but should be perfect for picking out the right multiple choice answer. I'm studying for the NET, and I encountered several problems like...

  21. NET Math Help

    Guest 360983 replied to Guest 360983's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    The answer is 1.09, so it's not an average. I do like my coworker's answer, though. You fire Lisa because she's taking so long, and you fire Tom because he's making Sam look bad... so the answer is 4....

  22. Do you REALLY learn in on-line classes?

    Guest 360983 replied to JBMmom's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I feel the same way about most of my online classes. I take them as often as possible because my work schedule makes going to class difficult, but I feel like I'd be learning a lot more if I was...

  23. UT houston spring 2010 hopefuls

    Guest 360983 replied to butterflykiss's topic in Texas Nursing

    OMG, looking at everyone's volunteer experience, I'm never going to get into UT. I'm applying for Fall 2010, and I have a 4.0, and I know I'll do well on the NET (I'm a great standardized test taker)...

  24. Micro teacher from Hell

    Guest 360983 replied to Anne36's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    The only reason I suggest going to the Dean is because 1) the OP has already gone to the department head. If they are going to get a reputation, I'm willing to bet they already have one, and 2) Who...

  25. Micro teacher from Hell

    Guest 360983 replied to Anne36's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    How badly do you need this credit at the end of the semester? If you need it to apply for nursing school, I'd hang in there and see what happens. If you don't need it, I'd drop it. I would complain...
