    txhorns10 posted a topic in Texas Nursing

    Hey! I applied in November for the May 2010 TCU ABT program...Is there anyone else out there? Does anyone have a clue when we'll find anything

    Congrats! Get ready for a roller coaster

  3. TCU Accelerated BSN 2010

    txhorns10 replied to txhorns10's topic in Texas Nursing

    You will have a two week class that will start the Monday after TCC finishes...or at least that's what we did this past year :) After that, you'll be following TCU's Academic Calendar. This will of...

  4. TCU Accelerated BSN 2010

    txhorns10 replied to txhorns10's topic in Texas Nursing

    I really love the program, but it is a roller coaster ride that never stops! It's extremely fast paced, but I wouldn't do it any other way at this point because the pay off is worth it. However, just...

    txhorns10 replied to txhorns10's topic in Texas Nursing

    Congrats! I just got my award package last Friday...it's on the my.tcu.edu site. If yours is anything like mine, the loans they give you should definitely cover it...It sucks that because we're second...

  8. Figuring out dose for Rocephin

    txhorns10 replied to KuteNurse's topic in General Nursing

    The full vial should be 500 mg. As a pharmacy tech, we always just withdrew the whole bottle...However, if you are doing as said before and diluting with 2, withdrawing 1 mL, you're not accounting for...

  9. what to take nursing or pharmacy??

    txhorns10 replied to AB normalRN's topic in General Nursing

    Combine them (sorta kinda) and become a CRNA like I plan to

  10. Figuring out dose for Rocephin

    txhorns10 replied to KuteNurse's topic in General Nursing

    Often when you reconstitute you end up with a larger volume...so basically, no that's not correct. You need to dilute and withdraw based on the guidelines on the bottle if you're giving a partial...

  11. TCU Accelerated BSN 2010

    txhorns10 replied to txhorns10's topic in Texas Nursing

    I have really good scores/grades, too, but I'm also still nervous. I just hope I have what they're looking for! I think it's just that there's not a lot of info out there on the program, so it's kind...

  12. Latex allergy.

    txhorns10 replied to Bonny619's topic in General Nursing

    Oh well, I guess you brought it back. :) My hands hurt and then were dry for a few months after I stopped wearing latex gloves, it just takes a while to heal. I had to wear them all the time when I...

  13. Can some one develop an allergy to PPD?

    txhorns10 replied to HeartsOpenWide's topic in General Nursing

    I'm not sure what my allergy is to, but the employee health nurse said there had to be induration (it had to be hard). Mine never is, so that's how they determined I'm not actually

  14. Can some one develop an allergy to PPD?

    txhorns10 replied to HeartsOpenWide's topic in General Nursing

    I'm allergic to it, but mine doesn't clear up for a week. It gets red and raised, but not hard. It's done this since my second or third

  15. med error and Sick about it

    txhorns10 replied to hello2you's topic in General Nursing

    You'd be horrified at how common med errors are. I was a pharmacy tech in two different hospitals. In one we did manual charges/credits. So, the nurses had access to anything in the PYXIS. We'd get a...

    txhorns10 replied to txhorns10's topic in Texas Nursing

    I'm taking A&P II and speech. I found out after I registered that I just needed A&P II lab but I'm not sure that's possible so I'm taking the lecture anyway. What's your degree in? Mine's in...

    txhorns10 replied to txhorns10's topic in Texas Nursing

    Well, I'm glad it's not just me. I hope we both get in so all this stress will have been worth it! I'm just really worried because I won't be done with my pre-reqs until this semester. Oh well, I...

    If we find out when they did last year, it's just a week away! I just want to find out already, no matter the

  19. Is there a good study guide for the HESI and HESI A2

    txhorns10 replied to Belli 40 LVN's topic in Texas Nursing

    No problem...if you end up getting that study guide I would also read through the material and not just do the questions. A lot of the A2 seemed to be pretty similar to that

  20. Is there a good study guide for the HESI and HESI A2

    txhorns10 replied to Belli 40 LVN's topic in Texas Nursing

    I was unaware there were two HESI tests? I took the A2 and used this study guide: http://product.half.ebay.com/_W0QQtgZinfoQQprZ63877208 It worked well for me...good luck and hopefully someone else...

  21. Please help my fix my resume!!!

    txhorns10 replied to rencontrezmoi's topic in General Nursing

    I think I would leave the GPA and dean's list, but I would definitely make your points more concise. i.e. - Used aseptic technique, Adhered to institution policies and procedures, Assisted with...

  22. associates or bsn?

    txhorns10 replied to mandile's topic in Texas Nursing

    How many hours do you have? I'm applying for the TCU Accelerated program and I think I'll have in excess of 160 hours by the time I enter (hopefully) this May. Just asking because I have a BS in...

  23. LPN vs RN, anyone pursue a Bachelors in non related field and change their mind

    txhorns10 replied to michelle2369's topic in General Nursing

    I'm sort of in the same situation, except I finished my degree in Biology. I've worked for a couple years and am now 24. I'm trying to get into an accelerated BSN program (so happy there is something...

  25. Lovenox question.

    txhorns10 replied to LuVnLpN08's topic in General Nursing

    I used to be a pharmacy tech...we sent up 2 syringes for doses in carts all the time (syringes only go up to 100 and we'd have pts on doses above that). It was apparently just fine as it was the...
