  1. Things you would love to say to your fellow nursing students!

    punkydoodlesRN replied to Faeriewand's topic in General Students

    Stop posting every #$%& grade on FB. I've hidden feeds for a reason, so I do not appreciate you posting your grade onmy wall, then following it with questioning mine. Nun ya. For the most part,...

  2. UTMB Spring 2012

    punkydoodlesRN replied to EmilyR's topic in Texas Nursing

    My star still shows me incomplete and not accepted. Trust me, I'm there and they have my money :) make sure you've accepted verbally, and there should be a written acceptance to return when you get...

  3. UTMB Spring 2012

    punkydoodlesRN replied to EmilyR's topic in Texas Nursing

    It depends on the week. If I have clinicals, I'm in the med center 2 days and on the island 2 days. Opposite weeks, I'm there 4 days. If I have a skills lab check-off, I'm there 3 days, and about 20...

    punkydoodlesRN replied to EmilyR's topic in Texas Nursing

    They put between 25-50 people on a waiting list, after they've been interviewed. They called people in all the way thru orientation. I have several friends who got a phone call on the last day of...

    Geeze, they've finally worked on their efficiency around there!

  6. Start in Postpartum or L&D?

    punkydoodlesRN replied to nurseygurlie's topic in Ob/Gyn

    look into a NRP course as well. It looks good when you apply - one less thing the hospital has to pay

  7. Start in Postpartum or L&D?

    punkydoodlesRN replied to nurseygurlie's topic in Ob/Gyn

    L&D, if possible. If not, get in the back door by going PostPartum. Then do your orientation at the hospital and remind your nurse manager, from time to time, that you're interested in the next...

  8. UTMB Spring 2012

    punkydoodlesRN replied to EmilyR's topic in Texas Nursing

    Mine didn't, on their own. I had to hound ATI and UTMB before my scores appeared. Mystar was saying incomplete for moths, so I finally called and come to find out, they didn't have record of my...

    That's how it was for last

  11. Things you would love to say to your fellow nursing students!

    punkydoodlesRN replied to Faeriewand's topic in General Students

    You are not a RN yet and it drives me crazy that you have RN on your badge reel and not one single instructor has said anything about it! If you're talking in class and I turn around and snap at you,...

  12. UTMB Spring 2012

    punkydoodlesRN replied to EmilyR's topic in Texas Nursing

    Don't lose hope!! I repeated courses as well, took A&P I 3x, A&PII 2x and had an entire semester with Fs in important pre-reqs (i had to explain that in my essay and again in my interview). If...

  13. UTMB Spring 2012

    punkydoodlesRN replied to EmilyR's topic in Texas Nursing

    for those who haven't heard back yet, DON'T LOOSE HOPE!!! They are likely not even close to being done, the interviews drug on for quiet a while for our class. I have two people in my clinical group...

    punkydoodlesRN replied to laura.c.j's topic in Texas Nursing

    That would be the Ashbel Smith building, AKA Old Red :)

  15. UTMB Spring 2012

    punkydoodlesRN replied to EmilyR's topic in Texas Nursing

    Getting together is a great idea, but if you wait until closer until the end of this semester, there will be more accepted

    Lady, focus on Chem right now. You still have plenty of time!! Trust me, groups will just naturally fall into

    There is already one for 2013 :) but yall may want a Springers one to make it easier to keep info straight. But you're welcome to join us though

    punkydoodlesRN replied to EmilyR's topic in Texas Nursing

    We went through L1ID I think. I didn't have to do it since I was already registered with the BON, but I can double check that tonight when I get

    punkydoodlesRN replied to EmilyR's topic in Texas Nursing

    I was trained at Ft. Sam as well - SAME mannequins, but TOTALLY different environment. It's quiet, bright, and the floors don't shake

  22. UTMB Spring 2012

    punkydoodlesRN replied to EmilyR's topic in Texas Nursing

    Maybe I'll see you there! I think I'm working that open house. You *may* not be shown the sim lab since they are being moved from Rebecca Sealy to the SON building right now. We've been in limbo this...

  23. UTMB Spring 2012

    punkydoodlesRN replied to EmilyR's topic in Texas Nursing

    Common sense would tell you that this is how the process works, but you will soon figure out that 'common sense' is not very rampant at UTMB (dealing with another mess with them right now!!) They do...

    punkydoodlesRN replied to EmilyR's topic in Texas Nursing

    Not required for actual FAFSA, but UTMB doesn't process FA without it, and it does matter. Trust me. I've had a few screaming matches with them over this. I got loans only, even though I'm married,...

  25. UTMB Spring 2012

    punkydoodlesRN replied to EmilyR's topic in Texas Nursing

    You won't know your FA or FAFSA info until after you have been enrolled for classes, which for us, was about 4 days before class started. :banghead::banghead::banghead: I didn't get any FA from FAFSA...
