  1. Should I get Varicella titer, MMR titer, Flu shot, Tdap shot in one day??

    rocket surgery replied to karenonp's topic in General Students

    Titers are not shots- they're measurements of antibodies already present in your blood. So if you had Varicella and MMR immunizations when you were a child, they'll draw blood to see if the required...

    Aubrey, I would call the school to find out. My best guess is that they've filled all their spots, but that if someone declines acceptance or otherwise can't start the semester, they will start...

    Anoor, I just PM'd you the link to the group. AllNurses's TOS prohibits me from posting the link here, so if anyone else needs the direct link, just let me

  4. Help me make sense of this sentence - pathophysiology

    rocket surgery replied to Southern Magnolia's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I believe hydrogen sulfide will impart a brown color to blood; I think hydrogen cyanide typically causes venous blood to be bright red. I can't for the life of me remember where I read it though. I...

  5. Does this *really* bother any other nursing students??

    rocket surgery replied to Italia23's topic in General Students

    IMHO, and from a patient's perspective at least, a "nurse" is anyone who is caring for them and who is not the doctor. RN, LVN, LPN - unless you're in the medical field, those abbreviations can be...

  6. Frustrated by unhelpful advisors :(

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

    Texas Woman's University will give your GPA a .4 bump if you complete 16 or more prerequisite hours there. That's how some of their BSN applicants end up with higher than 4.0

    Sly2011, congratulations on your acceptance! Provisional acceptance is a sure thing, assuming you complete your prerequisites with a C or better and pass the drug and background check. A lot of us are...

    If your Holds change today, your Admission Status should still change tomorrow. Only the Admission Status is updated once a day. The Holds Status is actually real time. That's why all our holds have...

    Leigh Ann, if you'd like, make a few of us admins as well. That way you won't have to do all the work yourself.

    Mac, there are 130 slots- 80 for the Regular program and 50 for the Pacesetter program. I don't believe they sort the applications by accept/reject before they change the holds; there's just a pile of...

    rocket surgery replied to twoy83's topic in Texas Nursing

    Chaos, your GPA's are about the same as mine but your HESI scores are WAY better. Especially the A&P score. I have no doubt you'll get accepted; maybe your application just happens to be at the...

    rocket surgery replied to twoy83's topic in Texas Nursing

    Julie, for some reason they didn't do interviews this year. I don't think anyone here knows why. Admission decisions were based entirely on GPA's, HESI scores, and whatever information was in your...

    According to the Fall 2010 thread, holds started to change on March 30. On April 1, people began receiving emails from Admissions telling them what program they were accepted into. So we might not...

    UTLink doesn't specify whether I was admitted to the Pacesetter or Regular program- is it the same for everyone else? I wonder if the letter we get in the mail will tell us, or if we have to wait...

    I sent you a PM but I'm not sure if it went through- I don't see it in my sent folder. I think a Facebook group is a great idea. I just looked to see if you had created one already, but didn't find...

  19. TWU vs UTh

    rocket surgery replied to RadioSue29's topic in Texas Nursing

    RadioSue29, I applied to both UT-H and TWU for Fall 2011 admission, and I also completed my prerequisite classes at HCC. I found out today I was accepted to UT-H and I'm still waiting to hear from...

    Those are the holds that everyone starts out with. When your holds change, you'll have 3 more- Criminal Background Check, Admission Documents, and Residency Form Hold. Good
