  1. Why would these IV meds be on my tomorrow patient's chart?

    Samian Q replied to Samian Q's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    His/her surgery was on Friday, so I'm quire sure that they're off of NPO by now!! (I'll definitely check the chart in the morning, just to be safe, obviously). And I'll ask about the IV fluids, then....

  2. Questions about Seton Versant RN Residency in Austin

    Samian Q replied to miami1981's topic in Texas Nursing

    I'm aware that the OP posted this thread more than a year ago, so the likelihood of the OP replying to my question is slim. Nonetheless, here goes :) You mentioned that the resume was of utmost...

  3. Any tips for getting a Clinical Assistant position at a Seton hospital?

    Samian Q posted a topic in Texas Nursing

    So I'm a nursing student at UT Austin Nursing, and less than 2 weeks ago I applied for this CA position through the Seton system. It was absolutely ideal --- it was full-time (rent's not cheap when...

    Samian Q replied to acblds5's topic in Texas Nursing

    Really, it depends on the book in question. We all used the 7th edition of the Fundamentals of Nursing (you're talking about Potter & Perry, right?) so I think you should be fine if you just get...

    Samian Q replied to acblds5's topic in Texas Nursing

    When I took Fundamentals of Nursing, I remember using Potter & Perry's "Fundamentals of Nursing" and Jarvis's "Physical Examination and Health

    I don't know how it's going to be for your cohort. I can't remember correctly, but most of the books we needed, we got the lists for either at orientation or in an email a few weeks before that....

    Samian Q replied to acblds5's topic in Texas Nursing

    Oh, I see what you meant. We used Lewis's 8th edition. Are they using Ignataviticus or whatever for your cohort

    Lol

    Samian Q replied to acblds5's topic in Texas Nursing

    Summer, it's used in the Fundamentals course. But it's a book you'd definitely want to hold on to in the fall and spring semesters rather than sell back. And yeah, we used Human Heredity by Cummings...

    Samian Q replied to acblds5's topic in Texas Nursing

    Hey all, I almost forgot about this thread since I've been so busy! First off, I want to congratulate all of you guys that got admitted and are attending! More than likely, I'll see you either in the...

  12. How long do you spend studying?

    Samian Q replied to ChrisNZ's topic in Male Nursing Students

    Far far longer than I normally

  13. Where can I find Theoretical and Operational Definitions for this Nursing Concept?

    Samian Q posted a topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I've already come up with definitions for a lot of my concepts, like 'self-confidence' and 'communication'. But I have one on my list, 'vision', which I can't find definitions for. I've looked through...

  14. What are the differences between the 4 Levels of Nursing Theory

    Samian Q posted a topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Okay, so I'm supposed to read this PDF file for a class as an intro to nursing theory. And I'm not really getting past the arcane jargon here. So for instance, it lists 4 levels of nursing theory: 1)...

    Samian Q replied to acblds5's topic in Texas Nursing

    Maybe it is to see if you're going to be admitted as an undeclared. *shrugs* But if you're getting another interview, it can only be a good thing. After all, if they had a rejection pile of...

    Samian Q replied to acblds5's topic in Texas Nursing

    Oh yeah, and the compliance stuff. (I think I posted the link re: that up here a few months ago.) All of you guys ought to do that now, b/c all nursing schools will require it any way. I've even heard...

  17. AE MSN at UT Austin Summer 2012

    Samian Q replied to acblds5's topic in Texas Nursing

    You could just buy Jarvis's "Physical Assessment" textbook and start reading it cover-to-cover now. I'm pretty sure all nursing schools use that textbook

    Samian Q replied to acblds5's topic in Texas Nursing

    And I'm glad 10,000 times over I didn't apply to Adult Health CNS. I personally hate, hate, hate, HATE any thing to do with pathophysiology and adult health clinicals. So I know for sure that's one...

    Samian Q replied to acblds5's topic in Texas Nursing

    I've talked to fellow Undeclareds about this, and we were in general agreement that we actually ended UP undeclared. It was nice because we actually got to sample several of the courses throughout the...

    Samian Q replied to acblds5's topic in Texas Nursing

    I think you'll be fine. Adult Health CNS (which apparently is getting a name-change?) and the Psych NP are the super-hard tracks to get into. And I'm declaring in November. I have to retake my Adult...

    Samian Q replied to acblds5's topic in Texas Nursing

    If it helps, I got my admission decision on Feb. 27th last year. As for the number of Public Health students, I think it's sizable. Fifteen-ish? I enjoyed that class lol... my professor at the end...

    Samian Q replied to acblds5's topic in Texas Nursing

    Lol I haven't. I'm *still* in Houston (school starts next Tuesday). This winter break is abominably long... And if you don't get in here, you could just go to ACC and apply for their program

  23. AE MSN at UT Austin Summer 2012

    Samian Q replied to acblds5's topic in Texas Nursing

    Even if you don't get in, I wouldn't feel too bad. You really have to be masochistic to sail through this program (or at least the foundation year). If you don't get in, think of it as an added year...
