We don't use that feature so I think you'd be ok just getting the book. The online resources we use are from evolve/elsevier and go with the Potter & Perry foundations book, but they are

Oh that stinks they haven't let y'all know what fundamentals book you'll be using yet! I imagine it would be the same because our edition just came out, unless they were to switch

Escape, We were able to pick where we wanted to do our volunteer hours but it had to be approved by your clinical instructor. Most instructors didn't want you volunteering at the Race for the Cure or...

Briterz, This summer is my first semester at Brookhaven but I took a couple of classes at NCTC last semester and I had the same problem with financial aid. I was expected to pay on my own and my...

Question for someone already in the program (or graduated :) ). The clinicals are listed in the schedule from 7am-7pm, are those the actual hours we are there or do they just put that? I have friends...

I wouldn't get the titer for tetorifice or diptheria, it will be cheaper just to get the TDAP shot and you need a new one every ten years anyways. I told the nurse in the clinic where I got my titers...

I bought one pair of scrubs already! Hope they will be acceptable ones, they match the hunter of the Cherokee ones perfect at least so if that's the only thing I should be good. I went to Scrubs Etc...

Are you in pairs during your first semester clinical? My best friend is in UTA's program and she always was paired up with another student (the same one all semester I think) during her junior I...

So I had a fleeting thought that maybe I should get dosage calc (and/or end of life issues) out of the way this summer since one less class in the fall might help my availability as far as work goes...

I am a little late but thank you so so much sweetpea for answering my question so thoroughly! You're amazing. :) Based on that picture of books I'm guessing the package comes with more than just the...

I'm hoping to get a job as a PCT after the first semester, not sure what to do about the fall as I work as a nanny now and I don't know whether the hours will work together even part time. Trying to...

I found it on the website but it took a lot of clicking around before I came to the page that tells you how they determine your amount of points. There the HESI isn't weighted near as heavily, 1 point...
Ashlee067 replied to Amdroell's topic in Texas Nursing
The HESI is not too bad, but the anatomy section can be difficult. If you study the evolve book for all the other sections (making sure to know all the standard to metric conversions for math!) then...

Thank alum for letting us know about the Mountain View program potentially starting back up! They are waiting on approval from the Texas Board of Nursing so they can start their own program in August,...

I think they meant they accepted those applications, like they didn't bother taking your application if you had any less than 27 points, but no one with less than 31 point something actually got in to...
Ashlee067 replied to Amdroell's topic in Texas Nursing
I just got mine too! Thankfully they accepted all my transfer credits so I have 33.38 points. Hopefully it is enough. Four more weeks of waiting now, though after the dispute period why does it take 3...

Hey y'all! According to the timeline on the website we are supposed to be getting an email regarding our status today! I'm pretty sure it's just telling us the number of points they calculated for us...
