  1. Baylor Scott and White Grad Nurse Residency - Summer 2020

    klp2006 replied to AngelicaRN20's topic in Texas Nursing

    I was hired for the Summer 2020 BSWH (Temple) residency with an ADN. I did already have a BSN admission so I couldn't tell you if that impacted it or not. Temple pushed my residency start date from...

  2. Relocating from Louisiana to Texas after grad, SOS

    klp2006 replied to MadiC's topic in Texas Nursing

    Houston residency is indeed extremely competitive. Applications begin in Feb for the Summer start dates. You can still be hired as a new grad, without the residency, after you pass NCLEX and have your...

  4. RN to BSN

    klp2006 replied to YouCanCallMeFrank's topic in General Students

    Unfortunately, it really is university specific. It's my biggest gripe about all of nursing education. There is no consistency from one school to another. Have you tried talking to your ASN college...

  5. Should I go through with nursing?

    klp2006 replied to Guest1118589's topic in General Students

    We had a student drop out 18 months into a 24-month program because as much as she kept trying to push on, it just wasn't for her. Nursing has an extremely high burn-out rate as it is. For those who...

  6. Lone Star Fall 2020

    klp2006 replied to TwinDaddy's topic in School, College Programs

    I am at Montgomery. "Enjoying" the immense personal growth and achievements reached, yes. I will say that I am incredibly grateful to be a part of this program and have wonderful classmates. I'm...

  7. Lone Star Fall 2020

    klp2006 replied to TwinDaddy's topic in School, College Programs

    Depending on the deadlines, there may be an 8-week API available to take which would work for the fall application. I took it as a hybrid in Jan 2018 and applied a few days after grades posted. It...

  8. Commuting to clinicals from 1 hr away??

    klp2006 replied to nursingstudentwannabe's topic in General Students

    WOW! You have it easy! Yes, you are indeed a wimp ? My commute is anywhere from 1-2 hrs depending on traffic. Clinical is at 0600 and exams are at 0730. There are many days I'm out the door by 0400...

  9. ABSN VS ADN

    klp2006 replied to amas's topic in General Students

    Same here. B.S. Business Administration -> RN. Before quitting my job and figuring out if I would even go back to school I made a spreadsheet of admissions requirements, timelines, and the cost of...

    I'll be in VB 5/30-6/6. You're not by any chance flying Southwest are you? Maybe we're on the same flight?

    klp2006 replied to Nancyface23's topic in School, College Programs

    Montgomery gave us a take-home PRACTICE test during orientation to prepare for the actual dosage calculation exam. They will not teach you dosage calculations. That is on you to learn. It was a part...

    Things not in the lab pack I found useful: 1) A Schedule/Planner/Reminder system with redundencies to prevent missed assignments. The overwhelming reason I've heard from 2nd attempt students as for...

    klp2006 replied to Nancyface23's topic in School, College Programs

    You'll have to purchase a lab pack for skills lab which contains supplies by campus and program. At Montgomery we had a pen light, scissors, forceps, etc. as part of our bag. We did not need a BP...

    klp2006 replied to Nancyface23's topic in School, College Programs

    Yes. The lab course is a skills lab where you learn all of your physical nursing

    Hey Y'all, Accionursingbook sent me a message about questions on here about Montgomery's Schedule. I'm in 2nd Semester at Montgomery. *Every year/semester changes happen. I can only speak for LSC-M*...

    YES! Congratulations! I'm so glad you talked to them. I don't know what happened but it sounds like it's all worked

    I think you need to talk to someone ASAP then, because a 7.0 should get a spot before a 6.99... ETA: I was referring to Mursed04 who had a 7.0. I'm not sure what your score

    Did you apply to all campuses? It looks like someone higher up on this page got a spot at

    The pocket prep app was a good add on to the study book. Depending on what topic you need to strengthen. If all of them, I would rec both the book and app. You can rent the book on

    klp2006 replied to erivee's topic in School, College Programs

    I did it through my PCP and it was a $35 co pay on visit one and that was it. I had to pay another co-pay for the lab to be drawn. I have LSC student health

    klp2006 replied to erivee's topic in School, College Programs

    It was pretty much what we read about NH. They did spend a lot of time on textbooks and the different packages, E-books vs Print. I'm still trying to figure out which way I'll go. If anyone else has...

  23. What are my options?

    klp2006 replied to NursingHopeful95's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    The HESI is not that bad. I took it practically cold 12 years after I graduated college (the first time) and a good 16+ years since I had taken a math course. I also had only taken A&PI. With only...

    How was orientation? What kind of information did they go over? I'm impatiently waiting for Montgomery's next

  25. Taking A &P I and II and microbiology

    klp2006 replied to jessica6012's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I think the bigger question is; if this is what your last scenario was, what do you plan on doing to change your habits in order to get a better grade while concurrently taking the courses. Many...
