  1. Interested in Becoming a Navy Nurse, Many Questions!

    taylorxteddy posted a topic in Government, Military

    Hello everyone! I've been piddling on these forums for a few months now reading varying bits of advice, pros/cons of becoming a navy nurse, competitiveness of getting in, etc, but I still have a few...

    taylorxteddy posted a topic in General Students

    Hello everyone! I'm roughly two months short of finishing my first semester of nursing school. I'm attending UTHealth in Houston, TX and am currently enrolled in Health Assessment, Pharmacology,...

    Update: Passed my first semester with Bs, now halfway through my second semester with all As. Rocking it, and loving every minute of my clinicals! Much more satisfied with my abilities and competence...

    taylorxteddy replied to KRR2009's topic in Texas Nursing

    Congrats to everyone that has been accepted! I am almost done with my first semester... It's been a little intense, but I'm still making it. Can't wait to welcome you all! :) We have a FB group that...

  5. In need of some encouragement before I give up!

    taylorxteddy replied to taylorxteddy's topic in General Students

    First, I am going to address that I made the comment about staying in Houston not because I thought nursing school somewhere else would be easier, because that isn't what I want or expected at all,...

    taylorxteddy replied to taylorxteddy's topic in General Students

    Thanks for the responses everyone! They were greatly appreciated. :) All the wear and tear got me sick now and I have acute bronchitis... I just need this semester to be over so I can rejuvenate...

    taylorxteddy replied to katybusymom's topic in Texas Nursing

    We had 90 at the start of the semester according to our instructors, but our clinical instructor is saying they are being told to prepare for 104 for the upcoming semester. As heavykey said, I believe...

  8. UTHSC (Houston) Spring

    taylorxteddy replied to katybusymom's topic in Texas Nursing

    I think they took their stack of applications, and rather than organize them by score, just simply picked the first 80 they came to that met the criteria they were looking for. IE, if the first person...

  9. UTHSC (Houston) Spring

    taylorxteddy replied to katybusymom's topic in Texas Nursing

    I just wanted to clarify to everyone now that I'm in the program in case anyone gets back on and reads this forum.. 1. There was no race card (or gender card) for acceptance. There are Hispanics (my...

    @L8Blumer... No I haven't, and it is driving me absolutely insane. I feel so silly with this first world problem! lol I have never had to make a decision this big, and now my family and friends are...

  11. UTHSC (Houston) Spring

    taylorxteddy replied to katybusymom's topic in Texas Nursing

    Hey everyone! Do yourselves a big favor and don't give up until it is all said and done. UT had 850 applicants, and (as we know) a very lengthy acceptance process. It is only natural that they...

    taylorxteddy replied to saraiish's topic in Texas Nursing

    The group is called, word for word: Texas Women's University College of Nursing - Houston Center - Spring 2012 Just for the record, it's a group and not a page. You have to request to join, and can't...

  14. UTHSC (Houston) Spring

    taylorxteddy replied to katybusymom's topic in Texas Nursing

    @grace928 she wasn't very reassuring, honestly. She said that her TWU friends all have higher GPAs than anyone she knows at UT, and that TWU students with higher GPAs appear to get hired before UT...

  15. twu spring 2012 applicants!

    taylorxteddy replied to saraiish's topic in Texas Nursing

    See that's what I want to know! UT gives their students the options to rank their hospital and clinical days by preference. I am wondering if TWU gives us this flexibility, because that is a GIANT...

    taylorxteddy replied to saraiish's topic in Texas Nursing

    Does anyone know any current TWU students that could help us out on some info and questions? Rocket surgery has been so helpful on the UT forum and I have so many questions before I finalize my...

    taylorxteddy replied to katybusymom's topic in Texas Nursing

    Maybe because it's Friday they're not doing anything? Just keep your head up everyone! :) Letters don't go out til the 15th, so there's plenty of time to still find out. I'm still undecided as of...

    taylorxteddy replied to katybusymom's topic in Texas Nursing

    Everyone on this forum has worked really hard. No one hear has poor gpas or hesi scores, so if you haven't heard anything yet, then it isn't over til it's over! I felt the same way until I got my...

  19. UTHSC (Houston) Spring

    taylorxteddy replied to katybusymom's topic in Texas Nursing

    @darcyanddebussy lol that's awesome! I don't put too terribly much stock in rankings. If the board of nursing statistics show excellent first time pass rates for both schools, then I'm not going to...
