  1. Is there volunteer work for pre-nursing students?

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

    At my local hospital I volunteer in the nursery, and I'm allowed to feed the babies with formula and change their diapers. I also prepare beds, make hats and help file. I didn't need any kind of...

  2. Spring 2011 UT Health Sciences Nursing Hopefuls

    SerenePeach replied to jones0651's topic in Texas Nursing

    Hi Merrel 5, When I went to the information session this past May, the admissions counselors said they don't look at any applications until after the deadline, so I'm not sure how they would send...

  3. Do schools look at the type of volunteer service?

    SerenePeach posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Hello, I'm wondering what counts as applicable volunteer service when applying to nursing schools. I'm currently volunteering at the nursery at the local hospital (feeding, changing diapers, making...

    SerenePeach replied to jones0651's topic in Texas Nursing

    Regarding grades, I don't believe that UT looks at the + or -; I think they just look at the letter grade. However, regarding volunteer hours, this is posted on their site: "During the interview...

    Does anyone know how many people UTHSC accepts each semester? I know it's highly competitive and I want to get in so

    SerenePeach replied to jones0651's topic in Texas Nursing

    I submitted my application back in early June. I did have trouble submitting my application, but that was because I was using the wrong browser. I was using Safari for Mac, and when I hit submit,...

    Hi! Yes I did score 100 on grammar, and I got a 98 on vocab and general knowledge. However, there wasn't any particular vocabulary list that I studied - I just used the vocab words from the official...

  10. Are we a dime a dozen?

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

    I am an older student going back to school for nursing, and I don't think you need to feel a calling in order to be a nurse. I also don't think there is anything wrong with going back to school for...

    I just found out that UTHSC is not accepting a Humanities & Arts class I took in my first undergrad as a Visual & Performing Arts credit. Anyone have any suggestions for an easy performing...

  12. Hesi A2 test scores for UT Health Science Center

    SerenePeach replied to trishajlee's topic in Texas Nursing

    So they finally fixed my HESI scores so all the portions show up on the score sheet. I got a 93% for reading comprehension, but in the subdivided scores, I got a 57% for Conclusions. :-/ That looks...

  13. Pregnant before nursing school or while in school?

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

    Ideally, that's what I'd like to do in terms of having children. But I fear that by the time I get my career established, put money in the bank and be financially ready, I'll be older and the chances...

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

    My final is today!! Wish me luck! Five weeks sure did go by fast. I think I"m gonna come out with an A in this one. This has been, by far, one of the more difficult teachers I've had. She's so...

  16. Hesi A2 test scores for UT Health Science Center

    SerenePeach replied to trishajlee's topic in Texas Nursing

    I thought the critical thinking was pretty hard too. I didn't think it was common sense - it was triage type questions like who would you treat first out of these types of patients, or what would you...

  17. Spring 2011 UT Health Sciences Nursing Hopefuls

    SerenePeach replied to jones0651's topic in Texas Nursing

    Thanks! To prepare, I used the HESI study guide and the anatomy portion of the McGraw Hill study guide. I was mostly worried about the A& P section, but I took A & P I this past Spring...

  18. Anatomy & Physiology: experiences?

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

    How hard A & P is absolutely depends on your teacher. For me, I had a first time teacher who had no structure and no idea what he was doing. However, I think A & P is completely do-able,...

    I took the Hesi at the Harwin location this past Sunday. There IS an electronic calculator provided on screen with the program, but not an actual, physical calculator. I think Prometrics probably...

  20. Hesi A2 test scores for UT Health Science Center

    SerenePeach replied to trishajlee's topic in Texas Nursing

    Did anyone else have a problem of certain sections of their score not showing up on their summary sheet? My critical thinking score and grammar score did not show up. I know I made an 880 and a 100 on...

  21. Spring 2011 UT Health Sciences Nursing Hopefuls

    SerenePeach replied to jones0651's topic in Texas Nursing

    Hmmm...I got my official HESI scores in my email, but it seems like my summary score sheet didn't display the Grammar section or the Critical Thinking section. I know I got a 100 on Grammar and 880 on...

    SerenePeach replied to jones0651's topic in Texas Nursing

    At the info session, they listed the required sections, and Chem and Bio weren't included. Also, if you visit this link: http://son.uth.tmc.edu/prospstudent/applresources/documents/hesi_a2_faq.pdf...

    SerenePeach replied to jones0651's topic in Texas Nursing

    For those of you who already took the HESI for UT, did you take the Biology and Chemistry sections?? I just came from my test and saw that those sections were up there, but I didn't take them because...

  25. Who's taking A&P II this summer? (2010)

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

    We just took our second test. So far I'm averaging a solid B for both, but I really want to do better. Question - do classes normally have a minimum number of students required? Will the class get...
