    Check your mail. I got into

  2. Fall 2010 Lonestar ADN Hopefuls

    trae55 replied to StephanieNicole's topic in Texas Nursing

    Candy, don't worry. Montgomery traditionally has the highest cutoff rate. Even so, they usually go all the way down to 11.4 once people find out they got into another program (usually BSN) and...

    trae55 replied to StephanieNicole's topic in Texas Nursing

    I hope that I can be accepted by Montgomery, but North Harris is OK. One of my classmates told me that she had conversation with someone in nursing info session in Montgomery. The man told her that...

  4. Fall 2010 Lonestar ADN Hopefuls

    trae55 replied to StephanieNicole's topic in Texas Nursing

    Keep in mind that even if you do fall a bit short that you still have a good chance of getting in. In the nursing info session the counselor said that montgomery's cutoff last year was 11.6, but they...

  5. Health Care Bill

    trae55 replied to VerbalGrl715's topic in General Nursing

    Ahh the famous words of someone who doesn't know what they are really talking about. You have been exposed as the liar (or maybe you just really believe the lies you've heard on tv) and everyone has...

  6. Health Care Bill

    trae55 replied to VerbalGrl715's topic in General Nursing

    Ha ha. Texas punishes itself. Perry refused to take money the federal government tried to give him and then turned around and asked for money. Doesn't he know if he tried to secede from the union...

    trae55 replied to StephanieNicole's topic in Texas Nursing

    I can't wait! I had planned on going to UT, but decided to switch to Montgomery at the last minute. I'm hoping to go right into the BSN program at UT when I graduate with my

    trae55 replied to StephanieNicole's topic in Texas Nursing

    Thank you for posting that april! Every little bit of info helps. Did the person tell you when letters would be sent out? I know it should be around April 1st, but it would be great if it were...

  9. Health Care Bill

    trae55 replied to VerbalGrl715's topic in General Nursing

    Everyone blames Bush, loudly and clearly. The truth is, Iraq had defied numerous demands by the UN to allow access by the UN Security teams to come in and inspect for WMDs - time after time after time...

  10. Health Care Bill

    trae55 replied to VerbalGrl715's topic in General Nursing

    This has nothing to do with the health care legislation. This is a whole different discussion. It has everything to do with healthcare legislation. If you want to know how we're going to pay for...

  11. Health Care Bill

    trae55 replied to VerbalGrl715's topic in General Nursing

    Be clear, the CBO analysis states that the non-group market (about 17% of the overall insurance market) will see a large impact on their premiums, by going up. According to the Department of HHS this...

  12. Health Care Bill

    trae55 replied to VerbalGrl715's topic in General Nursing

    Pelosi made mention of how this bill was on par with social security and medicare. as has been mentioned here, it is obvious that this bill WILL BE just that. another governmnet program that will push...

  13. Health Care Bill

    trae55 replied to VerbalGrl715's topic in General Nursing

    I don't see that the health care bill will affect nursing jobs at all. If you look at the bill, the bill mostly affects the crooked insurance policies. There will be no cap on insurance payouts,...

  14. Need help deciding if CRNA is right for me?

    trae55 replied to Highschoolfuturenurs's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I agree with the other posters. Focus on getting your BSN first. You have to have a bachelor's degree and at least on year critical care experience as a nurse before you can even get accepted into...

  15. Need help deciding which nursing school to attend!

    trae55 replied to foreverLaur's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    If school #2 starts March 2011 you will know if you were accepted before the start of school #1. Right? I would plan on going to school #1 unless you get accepted to school #2 for March. That's...

  16. nurses and spelling

    trae55 replied to Bormio's topic in General Nursing

    You did something here that I notice quite a lot - you said "people...that" instead of "people...who". I was taught that "that" is for non-living items and "who" is for the living. Not really sure,...

  17. Unfriendly and unsupportive fellow students...

    trae55 replied to dollface6's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Maybe they're stressed about the coursework and trying to stay focused? It's only a couple of months into the program so maybe people will start to lighten up soon. I will probably be one of those...

  18. What would you do if you were me?

    trae55 replied to Britt7's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I could see your point if you were close enough to visit your dd regularly, but she would be in CA and you would be in KY. There's no way I could do it. If money is tight, how many times do you...

  19. Losing my superpowers

    trae55 replied to rholman's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm taking pharm and I have been procrastinating since my last test. My next one is on Wednesday and I am not prepared at all! I've been studying all day and will study all day tomorrow, too. All...

  20. "Welcome to the class of 2012"

    trae55 replied to MelanyJ's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Congratulations!!! I'm counting down the days until our letters are sent out. I can't wait to start getting ready for fall. I really want to know what the schedule is going to be like. Our school...

  21. Is It Worth It?

    trae55 replied to MzRN2B's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I would say no. I know there are going to be people who disagree with me, but nurses don't make that much to warrant that kind of debt. You could easily end up in the same nursing position without...

  22. Help? Broken hearted & sad...

    trae55 replied to Crystal112's topic in General Nursing

    Just do it! Who cares what everyone says? I decided to be a nurse my senior year of high school and my family made terrible jokes at my expense. They said my personality was not right for it and I...

  23. nurses and spelling

    trae55 replied to Bormio's topic in General Nursing

    My mil has her masters in education. She has terrible grammar and can't spell to save her life. Sadly, this trait passed down to my dh. I think there are just a lot of people out there that can't...

  24. just starting toward nursing a few desperate questions.

    trae55 replied to airforcewife2000's topic in General Students

    If you're not sure where you stand, start small. One thing that's great about nursing is you can build toward the career you ultimately want. For example, you could become a CNA, then an LVN, then...

  25. HELP! Having problem choosing

    trae55 replied to zmojaver's topic in General Students

    The rn-bsn program isn't near as competitive as the generic bsn program. The generic program depends on different factors with no set point system. There's a UT generic bsn thread going on under...
