So this has nothing to do with nursing... I was attending UT Austin as a pre-nursing student when i found out i was expecting my first child. I was going to class with one of my best friends and we had to go up these escalators stairs. For some reaso...

I just graduated with my BSN and it has been a hard time finding jobs. I went to a mass interview during the second week of June and there must have been over 500 people in that ballroom. I was able to manage to get a full time position. While I was...

Have you tried southwest general?

Yeah, other ppl that have tried to PM said that it wasn't working. idk.

i just wanted to let other nursing students who have little children during nursing school and nclex know that it is possible. i have a 4 yr and 2 yr and lets just say it was very difficult to study for nclex. i take care of my children all day and i...

Good luck on your NCLEX next year. I guess the point of my post is that you have to "MAKE" time to study. It might seem hard to study with kids but anything is possible if you put your mind to it.

thank you for posting your story. this could very well help someone out in the same situation. not only was it inspiring but it showed that there is a light at the end of the darkest tunnel. yes, stress and situations like that would definitely affec...

I got this from the information that they sent us with our ATT but I would double check before your appointment. "Acceptable Identification: When you arrive at the test center, you will be required to present your ATT and one form of acceptable ident...

First off, good luck tomorrow. Believe in yourself and focus on the questions one by one. Stay calm. Hope that you can conquer this "dragon".

I used Saunders book and cd. I completed the entire book and answered close to 1000 questions; read all the rationales even if answered correctly. I made sure that I understood the material before taking the questions. I also had Hurst Review that wa...

I really used on the Saunders book (I focused on the questions mostly and the drug chapters). I would skim most of the chapters that I knew and focused on s/s, tx, and medications. I also had hurst which focused on the basics.

A couple of friends that took boards on the 29 of June (Friday) got their license July 3 (Tuesday). I heard that it gets updates Tuesdays and Thurdsay. I also took my NCLEX July 3 so maybe we will get our results posted on Thursday. I don't know if t...

I took the 75 q's test to start off. Then I focused on the "study mode" to get all the question. I read the rationales and really focused my energy on the questions that I kept getting wrong. But really overall, I believe that if I hadn't read those ...

I just had two delegation and about 5 precautions; not that big a deal. I also starting to worry if I was getting the priority questions wrong because I kept getting them a lot.

Today I also took boards and after waiting 3 hours to get home, I went straight to check the "trick". I also got the good "pop up" and I hope to god that it is correct. I had 12-15 SATA, 10-12 prioritize, and several precaution/delegation questions....

So...my question is rather simple. I just finished my undergraduate nursing program with a 2.973 gpa. My question is whether or not I should apply for graduate MSN program with this lower gpa (had my baby which is not an excuse but it was tough). The...

That's okay. And of course, I'm almost done. :)

:3 Well for first semester, Pharm is the toughest class you will have. I guess my advice would be to study as you cover the material and don't wait to the end. I would make the effort to go online with the professors powerpoint slides and read that i...

1 semester: Monday-Concepts 9am-11:50am Monday-Foundations-1pm-2:50pm Monday-Foundations Clinical Lab (skills): Time (vary)- 7am-9am, 3pm-5pm,5pm-7pm Tuesday/Wednesday (choose Tuesday or Wednesday)-Foundations Clinical Application Time (vary)-6:30am...

I just wanted to say good luck to all. I'm a current student in UTHSCSA and I just have to say that you will like it :3. If ya'll have any questions, feel free to ask.

Oh I forgot to mention it but another friend told me about methodist really hire RN students as pca's. She has several interviews already. Well from my experience, I like most of the teachers and deans. I've had some issue with 1 staff/teacher membe...

Yes, baptist offers externships but they do not have it posted on their website. A fellow classmate applied for cna position and was asked if they would be interested in applying for their RN student externship.

Hi all, I just wanted to say congratulations to all those that have been accepted into the program. For those that are on the waitlist, do NOT give up hope because several of my friends were offered a position up until a couple of weeks before school...

Hi all, Just wanted to stop by and say "good luck" on the admission process. I was in your position in Fall 2010. Just like one of my upperclassman said if ya'll have any questions feel free to ask. PS. I just wanted to add that I'm in the second se...

To the new incoming class: I hope you enjoy orientation (a least a little bit (lol)). I can't wait to meet ya'll. I hope ya'll enjoy 1st semester as much as I did.
