  1. Johns Hopkins vs. Columbia

    Guest 360983 replied to CaliforniaHopeful's topic in General Nursing

    Good areas in Baltimore? I like Federal Hill and Charles Village, and my cousin lived in a really cute walkup near Washington Heights (? maybe? fuzzy memory today). Fells Point has some fun bars. I...

  2. Johns Hopkins vs. Columbia

    Guest 360983 replied to CaliforniaHopeful's topic in General Nursing

    How much of Baltimore did you see? If you only saw the area around Hopkins, you only saw one of the worst parts of the city. There are some nicer areas in the

  3. Fall 2010 Lonestar ADN Hopefuls

    Guest 360983 replied to StephanieNicole's topic in Texas Nursing

    No offense Veganmom, but you have no idea what my financial situation is like right now. I'd love to work OT but that is banned at work right now. I'd love to see him get a job but only one company in...

  4. Fall 2010 Lonestar ADN Hopefuls

    Guest 360983 replied to StephanieNicole's topic in Texas Nursing

    I got into NH. I wasn't worried, as my score was 11.87. I'm not going to accept since my fiance got laid off and I need to keep working (instead of quitting like I'd been planning). So, at least one...

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

    Guest 360983 replied to mjbayuda's topic in Texas Nursing

    I still had 15 credits to complete, with 12 in progress this spring (2 history classes, nutrition & stats) and only fine arts to complete this summer. My interviewer didn't seem concerned about...

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

    Guest 360983 replied to mjbayuda's topic in Texas Nursing

    Well, even if I get in, I won't be going to UT H. My fiance just lost his job so I need to keep working for the forseeable future. I guess that will make a happy waitlisted person at Lonestar and...

  7. Thinking about switching career paths.

    Guest 360983 replied to DirtyBlackSocks's topic in General Nursing

    My little sister got a bachelor's in animal science. It took her 9 months to find a job after graduating, but now has a fairly stable job as a research assistant studying the effects of radiation on...

  8. Which math class would be best for RN program

    Guest 360983 replied to crazyl8y's topic in Texas Nursing

    Go to school and take a placement exam. It will tell you what you should be taking, and then compare that to what is required for your

  9. OMG!

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

    I found trig to just be a lot of memorization--the unit circle, definitions, formulas. There aren't a whole ton of concepts. If you're planning on going to calculus, it's important to really...

  10. Phi Theta Kappa - Haven't we all been invited?

    Guest 360983 replied to SDChargersGirl#31's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I decided not to join. It was a lot of money and both colleges I'm applying to for nursing school don't have any additional scholarship money for PTK. Also, it's not something I'd list on a resume. I...

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

    Guest 360983 replied to mjbayuda's topic in Texas Nursing

    They said we would start hearing April 1st. They sent an email to fall semester applicants who were accepted the same day changes started showing up on

  12. HELP! Having problem choosing

    Guest 360983 replied to zmojaver's topic in General Students

    Ok, so is your dilemma whether to get an ADN or a BSN? The main difference is time and money. Do you want to spend the extra time and money on a BSN? If you get an ADN, you'll be done faster and then...

  13. HELP! Having problem choosing

    Guest 360983 replied to zmojaver's topic in General Students

    What classes are different between ADN and BSN? You'll need more for your BSN, but most of them are general education--6 credits history, 6 credits government, probably a fine arts class, stats and...

  14. Any tips/ advice for Texas nursing schools?? Planning to relocate

    Guest 360983 replied to rosebud123's topic in General Students

    Galveston is 50 miles from downtown Houston. With Houston's traffic, I'd figure 90 minutes on a good day. Look on a map for Clear Lake. It's about 45 minutes from downtown during rush hour. To get an...

  15. Any tips/ advice for Texas nursing schools?? Planning to relocate

    Guest 360983 replied to rosebud123's topic in General Students

    UTHSC where? Houston or San Antonio? There might be on in Dallas, but that's the one city I don't know well. I live in Houston and applied to UT Houston and Lonestar (community college for northern...

  16. Nursing school, no friends

    Guest 360983 replied to ubcgirl's topic in General Nursing

    I've made some great friends by using Meetup.com. It's a collection of groups with common interests (like anime or writing or people who like going to ren fairs) and they meet in person. It might be...

  17. does the med asst. program count as my pre reqs???

    Guest 360983 replied to reanbean's topic in General Nursing

    You say you want to be an RN because everyone told you that being an LPN is a waste of time. If you want to be an LPN, go for it! You can get your RN later if you decide that's what you want, but...

  18. American Medical Institute - Houston

    Guest 360983 replied to kayleeray's topic in Texas Nursing

    I'm not sure who accredits LVN programs, but RN programs are accredited by the National League of Nursing or the CCNE (not sure what it stands for). Most schools are accredited but a few trade schools...

  19. American Medical Institute - Houston

    Guest 360983 replied to kayleeray's topic in Texas Nursing

    Who are they accredited by? Will the credits transfer to a different college if you decide to go for your RN? Have you considered LVN programs at HCC or Lonestar? They don't start as soon but they...

  20. sex in the work place...really?

    Guest 360983 replied to Mr. Evans's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I've seen this happen several times at my current office job, with different people each time. I think it would be naive to think this doesn't happen at least occasionally in other work places,...

  21. Resume to get into Nursing School- Help please!!!

    Guest 360983 replied to Cari001's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I dislike objectives on resumes, but that's a personal thing. Why did you include the related coursework? Do you feel listing the CPR certification is necessary? I would assume that you're CPR...

  22. Nursing Home will not accept deaf students into their CNA course

    Guest 360983 replied to Silent Prayer's topic in General Nursing

  23. Help With Applying For Nursing Shool

    Guest 360983 replied to Banksqueen's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Where in Texas are you? It's kind of a big state :) A good place to start is your local community college. I've never seen one without a nursing

  24. Fall 2010 Lonestar ADN Hopefuls

    Guest 360983 replied to StephanieNicole's topic in Texas Nursing

    I'm worried, but my job prospects are better as a nurse (at least they're still hiring a few!) than in my job (where I'm hoping the layoff isn't too much before school starts). 2 years is a long time...

  25. considering switching to nursing school

    Guest 360983 replied to onthefence's topic in General Nursing

    Regardless of what you may have heard, nursing isn't recession-proof. With your background, you may want to look into accelerated BSN programs. Once you're done with the pre-reqs (a year or two, since...
