    Shiner50 replied to Louise99's topic in Texas Nursing

    If I were you, I wouldn't buy more than 2 pairs of scrubs for now. You can always buy more if you think you need to. Regarding the two pairs of shoes... you definitely don't need more than 1 pair of...

    Shiner50 replied to JAMSALEStoRN's topic in Texas Nursing

    Shiner50 replied to JAMSALEStoRN's topic in Texas Nursing

    Don't let the A&P section get you down. There are so many applicants still in the process of taking A&P that they don't hold that score in high regard (or at least that's what my testing...

    Shiner50 replied to crr1987's topic in Texas Nursing

    My ABT class is right now in our 2nd of 4 semesters. Everything has been great so far. The faculty is great; several of them are TCU grads themselves. Clinical was scary for me at first since I...

  18. Fall 2011 TCU hopefuls

    Shiner50 replied to dpowe003's topic in Texas Nursing

    I don't know anything about the study guide for the HESI, but those plastic quick study guides by subject (A&P, Biol, Chem, etc) that you can buy at college bookstores would probably help. Those...

  19. Fall 2011 TCU hopefuls

    Shiner50 replied to dpowe003's topic in Texas Nursing

    I took the entrance HESI at TCU last year and it was super easy, and I didn't study at all. It tests you over the very basics of math (you get to use a calc), vocab, grammar and reading. I made...

    Shiner50 replied to mirc88sl's topic in General Students

    If you meet all the requirements for TCU's CRNA program and you are a TCU grad, they give you preference. I know that for a fact. That is the only reason I am spending soooo much money to go through...
