  1. Brookhaven Nursing Program

    Sweetpea1301 replied to Amdroell's topic in Texas Nursing

    Don't be too disappointed- honestly, you jumped the gun a bit. 94 on the HESI is great! However, the name of the game is having your support courses done. I applied 3 times! I jumped the gun on my...

  2. Brookhaven Nursing Program

    Sweetpea1301 replied to Amdroell's topic in Texas Nursing

    The nursing faculty DO NOT allow computers in the classroom, or video recording of skills demonstrations. For the most part, you won't need it. much of your time is hands on, and for the lecture,...

  3. Brookhaven Nursing Program

    Sweetpea1301 replied to Amdroell's topic in Texas Nursing

    Ashlee067- I was a nanny before, and think you will have a hard time doing it during this program. You will probably have to rearrange your schedule, and won't always be available during kid's hours....

    Sweetpea1301 replied to Amdroell's topic in Texas Nursing

    Get ready for a long post! With regards to the supplies: The one thing you cannot get around will be purchasing the required skills kit that will be sold in the book store this fall. The price...

  6. Brookhaven Nursing Program - Spring 2012 Admission

    Sweetpea1301 replied to jmiarn1029's topic in Texas Nursing

    From experience (I am currently first semester), the more support courses you have done prior to starting, the better! I am only doing the 3 nursing courses this semester and it is so intense! For...

  8. Relocation Situation

    Sweetpea1301 replied to qt2168's topic in General Nursing

    This sounds tough- I am sorry you are in the situation! Must be stressful! You could ask the job that made the offer how long you have to decide. You could tell them you are reviewing other offers,...

  9. Tell me I'll be okay...

    Sweetpea1301 replied to punkydoodlesRN's topic in Ob/Gyn

    So what's the question? Should you quit your job, or how to do it? Not sure what you're needing reassurance or guidance

  10. Not Happy with Nursing~ Advice Please

    Sweetpea1301 replied to Delag5's topic in General Nursing

    Try home health care. You can work for agencies that send you to multiple families, but many nurses I know work 5 days a week with one client. You tend to build a relationship. I am a home health...

  11. Brookhaven Nursing Program - Spring 2012 Admission

    Sweetpea1301 replied to jmiarn1029's topic in Texas Nursing

    By the way- did anyone else notice how the HESI was tricky, and included A&P concepts in the grammar and vocab, and general

  12. Brookhaven Nursing Program - Spring 2012 Admission

    Sweetpea1301 replied to jmiarn1029's topic in Texas Nursing

    Click on "Reach testing and remediation", then "my exams and remediation" then click the + sign next to your test. It will break the test up into the individual sections and scores, then click on the...

  13. Brookhaven Nursing Program - Spring 2012 Admission

    Sweetpea1301 replied to jmiarn1029's topic in Texas Nursing

    I cannot confirm, but am pretty optimistic that they will accept it. I read the course descriptions on DCCCD's website, and they are almost the same, verbatim. That's good! Plus, El Centro's RNSG 1311...

  14. Brookhaven Nursing Program

    Sweetpea1301 replied to Amdroell's topic in Texas Nursing

    It's possible! History has shown that they often times announce early, however, my group (the most recent one) was actually a day late! Don't count down the days...they get more and more stressful as...

  15. Brookhaven Nursing Program - Spring 2012 Admission

    Sweetpea1301 replied to jmiarn1029's topic in Texas Nursing

    If it is important to you to have patho done- try Quad C maybe? If you don't live in Collin co. it will cost you a little more, but is worth it. I actually took it through Texas Woman's University to...

  16. Baylor (or similar accelerated BSN) vs. Brookhaven... need some advice!

    Sweetpea1301 replied to sugarmagnoliaRN's topic in Texas Nursing

    Sounds good! There are plenty of options out there! And I also got my pre-reqs and support courses done in a year- you have to work hard and all through the summer/winter, and you may have to go to...

  17. Brookhaven Nursing Program

    Sweetpea1301 replied to Amdroell's topic in Texas Nursing

    You can only apply once a semester, so twice a year. I applied 3 semesters in a row, getting in the third time. My first attempt, I jumped the gun. I didn't really think I would get in, but wanted the...

  18. Baylor (or similar accelerated BSN) vs. Brookhaven... need some advice!

    Sweetpea1301 replied to sugarmagnoliaRN's topic in Texas Nursing

    Also, if you have pre-reqs to take for a BSN, take them at a community college! I transferred mine to TWU and from TWU to

  19. Baylor (or similar accelerated BSN) vs. Brookhaven... need some advice!

    Sweetpea1301 replied to sugarmagnoliaRN's topic in Texas Nursing

    In this situation and economy, get your ADN. Honestly, there are very few hospitals that limit their openings to only BSN. Though many are being laid off, the demand for nurses is high. Also, many...

  20. Brookhaven Nursing Program

    Sweetpea1301 replied to Amdroell's topic in Texas Nursing

    At Brookhaven: For Spring 2011, the lowest number was 31.75, and they only accepted 40. For the fall they may accept 60 which may bring the number down a little bit, but I would bet money that you...

  21. Brookhaven Nursing Program - Spring 2012 Admission

    Sweetpea1301 replied to jmiarn1029's topic in Texas Nursing

    Sounds good to me! Don't be bummed about the 80- it tends to happen! Still a great

  22. Brookhaven Nursing Program - Spring 2012 Admission

    Sweetpea1301 replied to jmiarn1029's topic in Texas Nursing

    as someone who applied three times and am currently in the first semester, i advise that you have a minimum of a 32. 31.something will be bottom of the barrel. many of your scores will be within...

  23. NCTC/Brookhaven/Collin County clinicals

    Sweetpea1301 replied to hdmoore731's topic in Texas Nursing

    I can only speak for Brookhaven, and I am only in my 1st semester. The hospitals for rotations (at BHC) are pre-determined, and you get to chose which of those hospitals you go to based on a random...

  24. Brookhaven- Spring 2011

    Sweetpea1301 replied to kickymarcia's topic in Texas Nursing

    Oriana, it sounds like you will do well in the program! I also think you are probably the highest ranked so far. it is surprising that the top ten would include 33 points. If that is accurate, it...

  25. Brookhaven- Spring 2011

    Sweetpea1301 replied to kickymarcia's topic in Texas Nursing

    Awesome! I am currently the administrator- everyone who was accepted will be allowed to join! We will make sure all the right people are accepted when we meet over the break or during success camp....
