  1. UTHSC (Houston) Spring

    rocket surgery replied to katybusymom's topic in Texas Nursing

    Right. Everyone starts out with those 2 holds. Once you're admitted, 3 or 4 more holds will get added. I can't remember what they're called exactly; one is for the background check, one is for the...

  2. UTHSC (Houston) Spring

    rocket surgery replied to katybusymom's topic in Texas Nursing

    My HESI scores too forever to show up too. I took mine in December and I think they showed up on UTLink sometime in March. The reason is that the scores are sent to the Student Affairs office in the...

  3. UTHSC (Houston) Spring

    rocket surgery replied to katybusymom's topic in Texas Nursing

    MLRP, your scores are great- very similar to mine- I definitely think you'll get in! Don't worry about the TSI thing. Technically, your application will stay "incomplete" until they receive your...

    rocket surgery replied to katybusymom's topic in Texas Nursing

    A couple quick tips: AFAIK every nursing school requires the Hep B vaccine. That series of 3 shots takes 6 months start-to-finish. Go get your 1st shot now if you haven't already. You might want to...

    rocket surgery replied to katybusymom's topic in Texas Nursing

    Hi everyone! I just started my 1st semester here at UTHSC; 6 months ago I was in your shoes! I haven't read the whole thread, so let me know if you have any questions and I'll do my best to answer!

  7. TWU vs UTh

    rocket surgery replied to RadioSue29's topic in Texas Nursing

    Kristin, Absolutely- those are great scores! If you're applying for the traditional BSN (not the accelerated/ 2nd degree), then I believe they are no longer doing interviews or writing samples. No...

  8. 2nd Degree BSN -- Now or Later?

    rocket surgery replied to OutOfStateKate's topic in General Students

    Please don't take this the wrong way, but you're 23/24, and that's still really young. You have no idea how much you (and your boyfriend) are going to change in the next few years. Your 20s are all...

  9. warm clothes for really cold natured girl?

    rocket surgery posted a topic in General Students

    I start my BSN program in the Fall. I live in Houston, where the outside weather is hot and the inside air-conditioning is freezing. I'm looking for advice on what to wear to class (not clinicals)...

    rocket surgery replied to AlliTodd223's topic in Texas Nursing

    If you took 16 or more hours of your prereqs at TWU, they gave your GPA an .4 bump- so you could end up having up to a 4.4

  12. A&P 2

    rocket surgery replied to jellybean321's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Our summer sessions were 10 weeks, so each A&P class was 5 weeks. What made it easier for me was that only my A&P classes were in-person; I took Nutrition and History 2 as online classes. If...

  13. A&P 2

    rocket surgery replied to jellybean321's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I took A&P1 & Nutrition in the 1st summer session and A&P2 & History 2 in the 2nd session. I defnitely think it's doable; I made A's in all 4 classes. If your ADN programs requires an...

  14. TWU Fall 2011 Hopefuls

    rocket surgery replied to AlliTodd223's topic in Texas Nursing

    The main reason I didn't apply to UTMB is because I was too lazy to write the application essay. It would have been my 3rd choice after UT-Houston and TWU, so it just wasn't worth the effort to me....

  15. TWU Fall 2011 Hopefuls

    rocket surgery replied to AlliTodd223's topic in Texas Nursing

    Don't forget that applicants to both TWU and UT-Houston have until April 15th to make a decision. Some people know immediately which school they want, and some people will take until April 15 to make...

  16. TWU vs UTh

    rocket surgery replied to RadioSue29's topic in Texas Nursing

    I didn't use Evolve's guide to study; I used the Barron's and Kaplan review books. I scored 80% on the A&P section and it was definitely the hardest for me. What really stuck me was how random the...

  17. TWU Fall 2011 Hopefuls

  19. TWU vs UTh

    rocket surgery replied to RadioSue29's topic in Texas Nursing

    Then definitely go by what UTH says. I know I could have sent my UTH HESI scores to Baylor if I had applied there, but I was under the assumption UTH wanted their specific

  20. TWU Fall 2011 Hopefuls

    rocket surgery replied to AlliTodd223's topic in Texas Nursing

    Per TWU, I had a 4.0 GPA. However, they only counted my prereq classes that I took after my bachelor's degree, otherwise it would have been a little lower. I didn't take any of my prereqs at TWU so I...

  21. Educational, All nursing student should take a look at

    rocket surgery replied to igus2666's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    There was a similar video for male catheterization. They squeezed a liquid lidocaine solution into his urethra and let it sit for 5 minutes before inserting the catheter. I wonder why the anesthetic...

    rocket surgery replied to sch1109's topic in TEAS Exam Help

  24. TWU vs UTh

    rocket surgery replied to RadioSue29's topic in Texas Nursing

    Only UTH uses the HESI, and the test is specifically for UTH. When you register for the HESI, it will ask you which school you're applying to, and the test is made specifically for that school. I was...
