  1. APRN roles with limited continuity of care?

    Nguyenchester posted a topic in Advanced Practice

    Working over the years, I've come to find out that I don't particularly like having a long term patient relationship and that I'm brief in terms of conversation with my patients. Several others have...

  2. Time off after NP school?

    Nguyenchester posted a topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Nguyenchester replied to kyonguyen22's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    A classmate of mine in the patho course when we were taking it as non-degree seeking students got her acceptance last week without the interview. Still waiting for an answer on my end. People I knew...

  4. Male Nurse Hair Styles

    Nguyenchester replied to Benners's topic in Men in Nursing

    I actually had a faux hawk for my first few months of employment. Got too many comments from my coworkers and patients with how it looked so I just ended up getting it clean cut and combed over....

  5. Regarding nursing students- was this too much to ask?

    Nguyenchester replied to blondy2061h's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    To be honest I could either see my classmates either being irritated or happy that their preceptor was going above and beyond in terms of learning experiences. While I was in my high acuity clinicals,...

  6. Quality between Littmann models that big of a difference?

    Nguyenchester posted a topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    I'll be receiving a stethoscope for my grad present and I was curious as to whether or not there is a big difference between the higher end models, specifically those within the $150 to $300 price...

  7. Houston Schools (fast track to RN)

    Nguyenchester replied to kmwinship's topic in Texas Nursing

  8. Accepted! Now what?

    Nguyenchester replied to mmills63's topic in Male Nursing Students

    Learn how to calm down and just take things a step at a time. It's not as serious as people make it out to be sometimes. You can still have some sort of social life and get the grades you need. About...

  9. UTHSC-Houston Spring 2013

    Nguyenchester replied to Ladybug3's topic in Texas Nursing

    Randomly stumbled upon this while trying to find some info on some grad schools. I got in a year ago with 6 drops and the selection process seemed pretty random. All sorts of various demographics and...

  10. UTHSC-Houston Fall 2012 Applicants

    Nguyenchester replied to KRR2009's topic in Texas Nursing

    It was around very early March that I found out I got accepted through UTLink and around a few weeks later that the letter came in. This might be the last semester yall will be able to find out early...

  11. Hey guys! Post what you are going to do right after you graduate. I'll start.

    Nguyenchester replied to ThePhilster's topic in Male Nursing Students

  12. UTHSC (Houston) Spring

    Nguyenchester replied to katybusymom's topic in Texas Nursing

    As long as the pharm or patho class is an upper level class, UT will accept them as transfer credit. Also keep in mind the school doesn't really matter in the end, what matters is your license. GPA...

  13. UTHSC (Houston) Spring

    Nguyenchester replied to katybusymom's topic in Texas Nursing

    They offered the pell grants and subsidized and unsubsidized loans. The scholarship application you will have to fill out on the side, and from what I know some students have gotten offers or so sent...

  14. men in NS

    Nguyenchester replied to JonB04's topic in Male Nursing Students

    There were way more guys than I actually expected to see at orientation. Quite a few younger guys also so I won't feel so out of place. Gotta figure out how to gently turn down people that are hitting...

  15. Hardest Prerequisite

    Nguyenchester replied to tiffjh2's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It was A&P I for me. The fact that I didn't really have the capability to mass memorize many parts of the body in a short amount of time really dealt a blow to me during the lab portions. A&P...

  16. Post 9/11 GI Bill

    Nguyenchester posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Not exactly sure if I should ask this in the Pre-Nursing Students or General Nursing Students forum but I was curious as for anyone paying for their education through the Post 9/11 GI Bill. I found...

  17. Post 9/11 GI Bill

    Nguyenchester replied to Nguyenchester's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Oh okay. Thank you very much. I also got a reply from the VA stating that once they send the tuition finances to the school if I already paid the tuition, then the school should send me back the...

  18. What are easy food to make for a youngster who can't cook

    Nguyenchester replied to okiedokie123's topic in Male Nursing Students

    For sheer convenience you could always throw whatever meats you want under the George Foreman Grill. Instead of the microwave or oven, I use it to cook thawed out and seasoned chicken and burger...

  19. Should I have taken Biology before starting CNA program?

    Nguyenchester replied to hopeful27's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I don't remember anything related to biology or any other science prerequisite courses related to the CNA class I took. Maybe you might get some neat little tidbits of information here or there, but...

  20. Anyone made it through Nsg school WITHOUT caffeine , Adderall, or Red Bull??

    Nguyenchester replied to Trilldayz,RN BSN's topic in General Students

    I drink Monster on occasion for a small kick but I know once I start the clinical portion of nursing school, I'll be packing 5 hour energy bottles with me every day. Much better kick than coffee or...

  21. Anatomy before Chemistry?

    Nguyenchester replied to ktran's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I took it in the order of General Biology I, Microbiology/Chemistry, A&P I, A&P II. Either General Biology I or A&P I were considered prerequisites for Microbiology at my campus though. I...

  22. Should I get Varicella titer, MMR titer, Flu shot, Tdap shot in one day??

    Nguyenchester replied to karenonp's topic in General Students

    I remember when I took my titers and shots for nursing related courses. It was just one shot and 8 titers, but I didn't realize that each titer would require one vial, so quite a bit of blood was...

  23. what do you need to really get into UT Houston BSN program?

    Nguyenchester replied to cbank's topic in Texas Nursing

  24. Best pre-req's to take over the summer!!

    Nguyenchester replied to Ev1987's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    If the school you're taking your prerequisites at and the nursing schools you plan to apply to accept CLEP, I would try to take out a few courses that way. That's how I got Lifespan Growth and...

  25. Fall 2011 UT Houston Health Sciences hopefuls

    Nguyenchester replied to twoy83's topic in Texas Nursing

    I wouldn't worry about it too much then unless you get the rejection letter or your application file removed on UTLink. It appears to be that UTHSC is updating statuses in groups rather than all at...
