1. UT Tyler RN to BSN Program

   CametoitlateTexan replied to Bortaz's topic in Texas

   I've been doing some research about on-line RN-BSN programs and noticed Texas Tech has a program that is approximately $200 per semester hour, while UTTyler's is about $600 per semester hour. If this is correct, why go through UTTyler's MINE program...

   Agree with Blessed2BaNRS on everything except the hospital description. I was offered at job at both hospitals but preferred ETMC. They are both good hospitals, but have different personalities. I just preferred the ETMC "personality" I guess.

4. Good Specialty Area?

   CametoitlateTexan replied to playbanjogood's topic in Cardiac

   I started on a telemetry unit when I graduated, and I love it. I find there is enough repitition to gain some competency, but there is enough to keep it very challenging. Good place to start!

   LOL. I have a friend who asked me to come change a dressing on her back while she was at work. We went into a back room, she disrobed, and I changed the dressing. We laughed about the sight of us and wondered what people would say if we got caught...

   I worked PRN as an EKG tech, then as a nurse tech. You could work PRN as a PCA. There is also a nurse tech program that you can take advantage of after your first semester of nursing school. There is definitely a shortage of PCA's, so I'm sure you c...

   The program at TJC is an associate's degree program. It is technically a 4 semester program. If you need prerequisites it takes a little longer. As far as the cost is concerned, if you're a Tyler resident, it costs approximately $1200 per semester t...

    CametoitlateTexan replied to LADYFLOWER's topic in Texas

    Can validate Raelra's testimony. I recently graduated from TJC and plan to get my BSN at UT Tyler. I have found the classes I took will transfer w/o any problem, but I went into the program with an eye towards UT Tyler. I too would recommend you ver...

14. HELP With Med Math Problem

    CametoitlateTexan replied to kpyers32!'s topic in General Nursing

    It's really a matter of just setting up the problem to get whatever units you want in the numerator and the denominator, then manipulate the information you have to get that result. I apologize for not being a very good tutor! Good luck on the quiz,...
