I'm an RN in Houston, Texas and I'm starting to research travel nursing. My question is about tax homes. I own my own home and it is paid off. Since I am not currently paying mortgage or rent, does that mean that I don't have a tax home? I'm guessing...

i'm doing a careplan & concept map on a patient with pvd (neuropathy, leg ulcers, cellulitis, the whole shebang) and one of the comorbs is end-stage renal disease. thus, one of my nursing diagnosis is impaired tissue perfusion r/t diminished oxyg...

My patient has megaloblastic anemia. During my clinical it hadn't yet been diagnosed as B12- or Folate-deficiency. My assignment is "Find 5 nursing diagnoses based on 1 medical diagnosis; prioritize those 5 nursing diagnoses in order of urgency, and ...

It was $50 for my class. Once you register for classes, the $50 is "returned" to you by being deducted from your total tuition.

When you get your actual acceptance letter, it will include a form that you have to sign and send back with your deposit.

Make it work. You can do it. :)

Spring, you can apply as Fresh Start and meet the Jan 15 deadline. You can finish your classes over the Spring and Summer semesters. You don't have to have completed ALL the prereqs before you apply.

Why can't you take classes in the Spring & Summer and graduate in August?

Here's the official info on Fresh Start: http://www.collegefortexans.com/index.cfm?objectid=6D10C9BD-DD24-153F-90B91DA6C20D1C97 You have to let the school know you're applying under Fresh Start before the application deadline for your semester. The o...

Additionally with Fresh Start- if you're *accepted* to a BSN program after applying as a Fresh Start candidate, any Graduate (Master's/PhD) program you apply to will also count only your coursework taken within the last 10 years. So if you're thinkin...

Amymit, I was a Fresh Start applicant. My (not so successful) 1st attempt at college was 1997-2001. Mostly C's and a few D's. Around 2003 I got my you-know-what in gear, finished my degree in February 2004 with mostly A's, and was able to raise my GP...

Hi everyone! I hope you're all starting to hear lots of good news! I have been AWOL for a while because things got crazy and all of a sudden I had 5 tests in 3 weeks! I haven't read any of the previous posts up to this point, so apologies if this is...

My professors continually drill it into our brains that the correct order is ALWAYS 1. Airway 2. Breathing 3. Circulation 4. Pain So I would choose Breathing before Circulation. The reason is that the untreated SOB will kill you before the untreated...

Mag, I got it! :) I'm getting ready for my 1st clinical today :w00t: so I'll write you back later tonight. I've talked about some of your questions in some of my previous posts- go back to page 28 and then read forward and look for some of my longer ...

At this point, the bill is still in committee and it's nowhere near being voted on. There aren't going to be any easy answers to questions 1-3 because all those issues are exactly what's being researched and debated in committee. So my guess is th...

Chunky, it was almost a month for me. I think it was a similar amount of time for the other people who posted on our AN thread. It might be shorter for you since the SON is only working on your class. Last spring, the SON was doing admits for both my...

Can you post a link to the bill? Is it a real bill that is currently being debated, or is it just a hypothetical bill your professor wants you to analyze?

I agree with Encephalon too.

Sara, they do recruiting events all year and they aren't specific to the incoming class. My guess is they're targeting 2nd degree Bacc2 students or the Fall 2012 class.

Technically, that's for the Master's program, but that's what they told all of us in the BSN program- top 5%, top 20, etc. AFAIK, the faculty for the BSN program and the Master's program are the same. I ran into the same issue when I was trying to fi...

Aww Chunky, I'm sorry for your roommate. Did she apply anywhere else?

Okay then I guess I don't know what I'm talking about! :) Sorry guys, it's been 6 months and things are a bit fuzzy. I went back to my UTLink to see if anything would jog my memory, but unfortunately not. Katy, if you're called multiple times and th...

Katy, are you still taking your prereqs? That's the only reason your admission file would be incomplete- because they haven't received your final transcript. If UTLink shows a reasonable GPA, and especially if you've received a transcript evaluation ...

"Pending status..." means they haven't made a decision yet. Everyone's UTLink should say that at this point. I got my CPR cert through the free Junior League classes. The classes fill up fast, so it helps to check their website frequently and regist...

MLRP, unfortunately I don't know anything about that. I'm sure that there are LVNs and ADNs in my class but I can't think of any off the top of my head. But we've only been in class for a month and there are about 140 of us, so there are a lot of pe...
