  1. What to buy/read before starting nursing school!

    sugarmagnoliaRN replied to GamerGirL337's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Mosby's Pharmacology Notecards and Pathophysiology Notecards... I remember seeing someone on here mentioning a crate-like thing they kept in the trunk of their car so they could have all their books...

  2. Just accepted into adn program! Should i accept or decline?

    sugarmagnoliaRN replied to marcopolo's topic in General Nursing

    Oh yeah that makes sense! I have BA so I would have most of these classes done, minus the Government requirements. I hadn't though of that being an issue when getting your first degree. But yeah I...

  3. Just accepted into adn program! Should i accept or decline?

    sugarmagnoliaRN replied to marcopolo's topic in General Nursing

    Just out of curiosity, what's the difference between the Associate of Science and the Associate of Applied

  4. Just accepted into adn program! Should i accept or decline?

    sugarmagnoliaRN replied to marcopolo's topic in General Nursing

    Reading that I'm thinking I wasn't super clear... after you get your ADN from one of these schools you can go right into the associated school's BSN program. PM me if you have any questions

  5. Just accepted into adn program! Should i accept or decline?

    sugarmagnoliaRN replied to marcopolo's topic in General Nursing

    OP: I'm in the DFW area too, most ADN programs around here are partnering up with a BSN program so students can go right from one to the other, which is cheap cheap cheap! Brookhaven partners with...

  6. Brookhaven Nursing Program

    sugarmagnoliaRN replied to Amdroell's topic in Texas Nursing

    In the email I got about the new post on this thread, all I could see was the very beginning... "It's official, I'm no longer a nursing student @ Brookhaven..." and I was thinking Oh no, what...

  7. How to get into nursing school with low GPA

    sugarmagnoliaRN replied to lr520's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    There are a few schools that look at your GPA the least of all the admissions requirements... it really just varies school to school. Congrats on doing so well in your classes now that you're back...

  8. How did everyone do in your Spring classes?

    sugarmagnoliaRN replied to lifelearningrn's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I got a B in A&P II and an A in Developmental Psych... I'm jumping into summer with both feet as well: Pharmacology, Pathophysiology for Summer I and Microbiology and Chemistry for Summer II....

  9. States with Real Nursing Shortages?

    sugarmagnoliaRN replied to KaringOne's topic in General Nursing

    It's a complicated question... I've read that Florida is one of the best states to be a nurse since they have such a large population of elderly people but I've also heard stories from nurses in FL...

  10. El Centro HESI A2 prep course?

    sugarmagnoliaRN posted a topic in Texas Nursing

    Has anyone taken El Centro's HESI A2 prep course? Did you feel like it prepared you for the exam? Anything you wish they would have covered more that was on the exam? I just registered for the August...

  11. Best way to space out 12-hr night shifts?

    sugarmagnoliaRN replied to BD12's topic in General Nursing

    I would just think that if you lived with others who were up moving around while you were sleeping, that might interrupt it a little. My brother used to work nights and he really didn't appreciate...

  12. Best way to space out 12-hr night shifts?

    sugarmagnoliaRN replied to BD12's topic in General Nursing

    This might be kind of a strange question, but I figure y'all would be a good group to ask! How do you block out sound while you're sleeping during the day? I would think earplugs and an eyemask would...

  13. Nurses' Week Thank you

    sugarmagnoliaRN replied to justavolunteer's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks from me also! PS - At Sprinkles cupcakes today, every nurse gets a free red velvet cupcake

  14. Brookhaven Nursing Program - Spring 2012 Admission

    sugarmagnoliaRN replied to jmiarn1029's topic in Texas Nursing

    Hey ER! I'm doing the same thing with applying to an ADN program and a BSN program - Brookhaven Spring 2012 and Baylor Fastbacc 2012 for me. I'm taking the HESI for Baylor in June! I'm a little...

  15. Hiring outlook for ADN vs. BSN in your town?

    sugarmagnoliaRN replied to sugarmagnoliaRN's topic in Texas Nursing

    Good point. Thank you for sharing real, relatable information - I really do appreciate it! I didn't know El Centro was partnering with UTA - that's awesome that schools are doing that! I know quad C...

  16. Hiring outlook for ADN vs. BSN in your town?

    sugarmagnoliaRN replied to sugarmagnoliaRN's topic in Texas Nursing

    Thank you Vitalsmiles! It is especially good for me to keep in mind that THR and Presby don't offer tuition reimbursement! That is definitely good advice, and I do plan on getting a part time job as a...

  17. Hiring outlook for ADN vs. BSN in your town?

    sugarmagnoliaRN replied to sugarmagnoliaRN's topic in Texas Nursing

    I am aware there are other jobs in healthcare. I specifically want to be a nurse, and it has nothing to do with the perceived "job security" (anyone who has been on this message board knows that's...

  18. Brookhaven Nursing Program

    sugarmagnoliaRN replied to Amdroell's topic in Texas Nursing

    (Since Brookhaven only allows you to take it once each application period, I'm a little worried about going into the test not knowing what to expect since I haven't taken it before and that completely...

  19. Brookhaven Nursing Program

    sugarmagnoliaRN replied to Amdroell's topic in Texas Nursing

    Did any of y'all take the HESI at El Centro before taking it at

  20. Brookhaven Nursing Program

    sugarmagnoliaRN replied to Amdroell's topic in Texas Nursing

    I think El Centro has two different Patho's... An HPRS class and an RNSG class. I think one is 2 hours and the other is 3... Brookhaven takes either one but UTA needs the 3 hour class. Oh well, UTA's...

  21. Brookhaven Nursing Program

    sugarmagnoliaRN replied to Amdroell's topic in Texas Nursing

    Yeah seriously, I'm definitely expecting the workload of a 3 credit hour

  22. Brookhaven Nursing Program

    sugarmagnoliaRN replied to Amdroell's topic in Texas Nursing

    Yep it is online! For some reason it's a 2 credit class, which seems surprising to me... surely there is enough material in Patho to cover 3 credit hours! Oh well, as long as it transfers and I'm...

  23. Brookhaven Nursing Program

    sugarmagnoliaRN replied to Amdroell's topic in Texas Nursing

    Hmm looks like the website answered the question for me... they normally do RNSG 1211 which is only 2 credit hours as well... phew!

  24. Brookhaven Nursing Program

    sugarmagnoliaRN replied to Amdroell's topic in Texas Nursing

    Hey have any of y'all done Patho at El Centro (HPRS 2201) and transferred it to Brookhaven for a support class? I was told it would transfer, but I'm a little concerned now because the UTA advisor...

  25. UTA fall 2011

    sugarmagnoliaRN replied to aamon1's topic in Texas Nursing
