    Samian Q replied to acblds5's topic in Texas Nursing

    I honestly do not. But I'm certain that CNS and Psych are the most applied tracks, just as they were for my

    Samian Q replied to acblds5's topic in Texas Nursing

    It's just like any interview... you sit one on one with your assigned faculty interviewer and they ask you questions (e.g., "Why nursing?", "Why this program?", "Why the track?", "What do you see...

    Don't feel intimidated. They're all really nice. Just talk about why nursing, why you want to go into the track you chose, etc. Trust me: The professors are not about to ask "gotcha" questions

    I don't know how it is going to be for your cohort. But in my cohort, at least, that's what the Undeclared category was for. Us undeclared get to choose for our top two choices. The choices...

    Samian Q replied to acblds5's topic in Texas Nursing

    I had applied to the Psych NP track, but I didn't get in. I think 23 people applied for that spot, and they only had 4 spots. (Once the state later on gave more grant money, I think they expanded it...

    Samian Q replied to acblds5's topic in Texas Nursing

    It's not necessarily the case. Some folks apply to more competitive tracks, others apply to less competitive tracks. So it's not as if everyone is pooled together and they select take the top half....

    Samian Q replied to acblds5's topic in Texas Nursing

    You'll be fine. Heck, I even brought up 'AllNurses' in my interview (don't ask...). I'm sure you'll get in. I was surprised by how large the cohort this year was. At the first day's orientation, I...

    Samian Q replied to acblds5's topic in Texas Nursing

    My GPA was... not terrific. I majored in History, and for my history major I think my GPA was about a 3.7ish. But overall... let's just say I took too many college courses that I shouldn't have....

    I don't have the numbers off hand for the number of people in the Child Health programs, but I don't think it's one of the most competitive tracks. Adult Health CNS and the Psych NP are the most...

    Samian Q replied to acblds5's topic in Texas Nursing

    In case you don't get into the track you want, maybe they'll admit you as an Undeclared and you can choose your track next November. That's what they did for my

    Samian Q replied to acblds5's topic in Texas Nursing

    I'm in the AE-MSN program you speak of. When I had applied, they didn't even offer a course specifically titled Genetics at the community college I took my prerequisites at (I'm from Houston). I had...

  15. How would I carry out these Physician Orders in a SIM Lab?

    Samian Q posted a topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Hi! So in a little bit, I have to do this Simulation Lab, where I basically perform a focused assessment on the patient (which is a mannequin) and administer meds to it. I have a simulation...

  16. When giving Phenergan through an IV push, how do I know how long to give it for?

    Samian Q posted a topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Here's my thought process on this: Let's say my TA were to say, "You're giving 12.5 mg phenergan to the mannequin". The first thing I'd do is look at the vial and see the concentration of phenergan in...

  18. When giving Phenergan through an IV push, how do I know how long to give it for?

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

    ooh, I think I found it! It says "Administer each 25 mg slowly, over at least 10-15 min (maximum rate = 25 mg/min)". Since I'm giving 12.5 mg (or half a mL), this means I'd be administering this drug...

  19. Nurses: Did I match up these Meds with the Nursing Diagnoses correctly?

    Samian Q posted a topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Okay, so I'm working with a simulated patient. The current diagnosis is listed as: 'ORIF (L) Hip 1 day ago', so I'm assuming it's a hip fracture The previous history's diagnoses are: Systolic...

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

    I'm not too good with this one, sadly For the Hip Fracture, the first thing that comes to my mind is "Vitamin D". And for the smokers, "Vitamin C" likewise came to mind. I ... don't know much

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

  24. Will a Nurse PLEASE help me on this Case Study?

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

    Let me think... the methotrexate is given for her rheumatoid arthritis, but it can definitely cause anemia. I have no clue about the axid. Nizatidine's given for peptic ulcer disease, but does it say...
