    Yes, get it done now. And FYI, even if you've had all three hepB shots, you will still be required to get a titer drawn, so just be aware of that. So, start series now, so that you can have titer...

    Exact same here. People were freaked about our first exam - only one 'C' out of the entire class. And that person must have just been lazy or a horrible test taker because the review they gave was...

    That's tough. I have a family as well and there's no way I could just move during the week. I have class mates that are commuting much further, most are carpooling to help with that. If she's 5, will...

  7. Classic II S.E. color choices

    punkydoodlesRN replied to ChrisCNA's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    I made my id :) I couldn't hear with the lightweight either. I honestly think I have some hearing loss! I do like the classic much better. But I'm still only using on mannequins since I'm in school...

  8. Classic II S.E. color choices

    punkydoodlesRN replied to ChrisCNA's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    I can't hear very well, at all! with the Lightweight so I got the Classic II S.E. for my birthday last month (and to celebrate starting my LVN-BSN transition) I LOVE it! granted, I haven't used it at...

  9. Nursing Diagnosis - R/F based on family HX alone?

    punkydoodlesRN posted a topic in General Nursing

    quick question - without having to drag out my tons of nursing books... Can you have a nursing diagnosis R/F based solely on familial history? It's been a minutes since I had to actually write out a...

  10. Nursing Diagnosis - R/F based on family HX alone?

    punkydoodlesRN replied to punkydoodlesRN's topic in General Nursing

    There's a couple, but the biggest is diabetes. pt exercises and eats relatively healthy, but has a strong maternal and paternal hx. The other is depression/mental health. Again, strong family...

    I just finished my second week of class and mystar has an incomplete. Don't fret. Call and verify what they have/need then don't pay much attention to that. That 'I' doesn't mean it won't get reviewed...

    Confusedness Discombobulation. Disarray. All of EPIC proportions. Was just discussing our admission process with classmates today and we all quickly agreed that admissions was a breeze compared to...

    absolutely. I think it's appropriate to ask your interviewer (at the end, if they ask if you have any questions!!) when they think you may hear something about your

    punkydoodlesRN replied to EmilyR's topic in Texas Nursing

    You can call or email, but we all pretty much got canned responses - denial letters were sent out really late. I think that's pretty much how it was - I don't know of many that were interviewed but...

    punkydoodlesRN replied to EmilyR's topic in Texas Nursing

    something they do is a mentor program - matching a senior student with a junior student. It's been hit and miss for my class on getting good, helpful mentors, but those with good ones have been pretty...

    punkydoodlesRN replied to EmilyR's topic in Texas Nursing

    As far as interview vs. acceptance; yes, those who interviewed were accepted. But there was no rhyme as to how we were notified. I was notified in less than 24 hrs, but that was because of another...

    punkydoodlesRN replied to EmilyR's topic in Texas Nursing

    I don't think it would be fair to give specific questions, but it was just like any other interview I'd ever been in (I realize that may not help you a lot) I was asked some about grades, my essay,...

    That's from the School of Medicine, so don't be shocked if the SON operates completely different. For starters, the bit about the 4 weeks notice. Um, I got a phone call on a Wednesday afternoon and...

    punkydoodlesRN replied to EmilyR's topic in Texas Nursing

    Thank you!! I don't think that having a good GPA, TEAS and completed pre-reqs was an automatic interview. If I remember from our thread, there were several that fit that and didn't get an...

    punkydoodlesRN replied to EmilyR's topic in Texas Nursing

    I live clear lake. I have a family, so moving to the island wasn't an option. Commuting sucks, but oh well. I'm in class W/TH. My clinicals are every other MT and the other weeks I'll be on campus for...

    We've had 5 days of orientation, one opening ceremony and just finished class day #2 :) Sometimes it feels like they are totally disorganized - it's frustrating. But, despite this fault, I still...

    Congrats to those who have already received interview invites - but be prepared for even more waiting after that is done :) For the rest of you, just hang in there! They do the invites in batches, so...
