  1. Spring 2011 UT Health Sciences Nursing Hopefuls

    SerenePeach replied to jones0651's topic in Texas Nursing

    Hello! I can't believe we need to wait until November to find out if we get accepted! I'm so anxious to start nursing school. At least we will find out soon if we get interviews. Here are my scores:...

  2. Has anyone gotten pregnant and continued w/NS?

    SerenePeach replied to kk83's topic in General Students

    Hello, I can definitely understand where you're coming from. I'm only a pre-nursing student and I've been wondering the same thing. I'm 26 years old and I really want to start my family soon, but I'm...

  3. How Long Did You Wait

    SerenePeach replied to JonB04's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    For two schools, I have to wait until the middle of November to find out if I get accepted for Spring 2011. For the accelerated BSN program I applied to, I have to wait until

  4. A&P and Micro at the same time?

    SerenePeach replied to rcfj2290's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Are you strong in sciences? Why don't you wait to see how well you do in A & P I before deciding to take both Micro and A & P in one semester? It is possible though...I took A & P, Micro,...

  6. Hesi A2 applying for UT Houston

    SerenePeach replied to supaflyz's topic in Texas Nursing

    I think if you want to retake the HESI, you need to do it before the app deadline of September 1. Also, I did have the Chemistry and Biology sections on my test, but I just skipped them and it did not...

  7. Is this a bad TEAS V score???

    SerenePeach replied to sch1109's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Thanks Misshopeful! I think the Chemistry in the book does a decent job of telling you the kinds of topics that will be on the exam. I only used the ATI guide and practice tests to study from (but I...

  8. Hesi A2 test scores for UT Health Science Center

    SerenePeach replied to trishajlee's topic in Texas Nursing

    Hi Kayce, I am applying for UTHSC-H, and I did NOT take the Chemistry or Biology sections on the HESI. I just skipped those sections, and when I finished all the other sections, I just let the proctor...

  9. Is this a bad TEAS V score???

    SerenePeach replied to sch1109's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I took a day between the two practice tests. I did the first one Monday afternoon, studied some more, then took the second one Tuesday afternoon, and studied some more. I then took the actual TEAS on...

  10. Spring 2011 UT Health Sciences Nursing Hopefuls

    SerenePeach replied to jones0651's topic in Texas Nursing

    My UTLINK also lists Current CPR card and Immunizations under Holds. From what I understand, you only need to complete these two items if you're admitted into the nursing program. Your application...

  11. Is this a bad TEAS V score???

    SerenePeach replied to sch1109's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I did progressively better on the practice exams and the best on the actual TEAS. On the two practice exams, I got a 73% and an 86%. I scored a 96% overall on the TEAS and I'm very happy with my...

  12. TEAS V Online Practice Assessments Worth It?

    SerenePeach replied to PacoUSA's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    In my opinion, I thought the practice tests online were worth the money I spent. The format of the practice tests online were very similar to the actual format of the test. Taking the tests online...

  13. Hesi A2 test scores for UT Health Science Center

    SerenePeach replied to trishajlee's topic in Texas Nursing

    Hi PamQ, Do you mean you didn't take the Critical Thinking at all, or that your score report doesn't show the Critical Thinking part? I was told the overall score report doesn't display the Critical...

  14. TWU Applicants Spring 2011

    SerenePeach replied to Soon2bRN1222's topic in Texas Nursing

    Does TWU do interviews? Or is it based solely on your grades and TEAS

  15. TWU Applicants Spring 2011

    SerenePeach replied to Soon2bRN1222's topic in Texas Nursing

    Thanks, Kelly. There was a lot of chemistry questions on the Science question, and I was a little rusty on that. If you have the ATI study guide, definitely go over those sections. I don't remember...

  16. How common is it for employers to pay for BSN?

    SerenePeach posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Hi everyone, Just a question - if you get an associate's degree, how common is it for your employer to pay for your schooling to receive your BSN? I know it will depend on the hospital/employer...

  17. TWU Applicants Spring 2011

    SerenePeach replied to Soon2bRN1222's topic in Texas Nursing

    I took the TEAS and I thought it was so much harder than the HESI! (I took the HESI for UTHSC and did really well on it). Hopefully I did okay on it; I really struggled with the Science and I thought...

  18. At what age did you decide on nursing?

    SerenePeach replied to Wan2BRN's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I was 25 when I made a firm commitment to follow through with nursing. I had thrown around the idea when I was 21 or 22, but wasn't completely serious about it. I graduated with a degree in Liberal...

  19. Spring 2011 UT Health Sciences Nursing Hopefuls

    SerenePeach replied to jones0651's topic in Texas Nursing

    I know I've said this before, but it's really annoying that UT did NOT accept my Humanities class as a fine arts credit, when all of the other nursing schools I'm applying to did. In my Humanities...

  20. Hesi A2 test scores for UT Health Science Center

    SerenePeach replied to trishajlee's topic in Texas Nursing

    Hi Tinknurse, I called Elsevier at 800.950.2728 and pressed the option for Customer Support. The person I spoke to took down my information, submitted a technical problem report and sent me an email...

  21. Hesi A2 test scores for UT Health Science Center

    SerenePeach replied to trishajlee's topic in Texas Nursing

    Hi Roe, I'm not sure how you send scores to another school, but you could try calling the help line at 1-800-950-2728 and talk to Customer Support. For UTHSC, the minimum acceptable score is 750, so I...

  22. Hesi A2 test scores for UT Health Science Center

    SerenePeach replied to trishajlee's topic in Texas Nursing

    Hi Roe, Those are great scores! One thing I find interesting in the Personality and Learning Styles profile. No one's really said anything about that; I'm wondering what kind of ppl UTHSC is looking...

  23. Spring 2011 UT Health Sciences Nursing Hopefuls

    SerenePeach replied to jones0651's topic in Texas Nursing

    FYI, I saw this on UTHSC's website, regarding the HESI: Which test version do I schedule to take, Version 1 or Version 2? First time testers need Version 1. If you are repeating the test Version 2...

  24. Do you think you'll/have you put on weight in NS?

    SerenePeach replied to SingDanceRunLife's topic in General Students

    When you get older, your metabolism will probably slow down and it's easy to gain weight that way. Once I hit 23, 24, I noticed that I just couldn't eat the same things as I did before without gaining...

  25. Overweight Nurse?

    SerenePeach replied to MissKatie's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Birth control can cause cysts and/or PCOS? I've taken birth control for about 7 years and counting, so that's a little worrisome. I always thought the pill was prescribed to break up the
