  1. 2017 RN to BSN Online Program UTA Current/past students

    Wyrm74 replied to tay777's topic in University of Texas Arlington

    I wouldn't double up any of those other than holistic health and management. Take the rest one at a

  2. Is $40 Grand too much for an Associate Degree...

    Wyrm74 replied to WCSU1987's topic in General Students

    I am in the Dallas-Fort Worth, Texas area and I paid about $8,000 for my ADN with all books/expenses/fees, etc. and my RN-BSN was $9,500. I suppose the value of an ADN is relative. I would never pay...

    Wyrm74 replied to tay777's topic in University of Texas Arlington

    I just finished my last regular class in the RN-BSN program at UTA and start Capstone on 5/22. I am SO glad to be finishing this! I started in February of 2016 and took all my Junior year courses that...

  5. N4325 Nursing Research UTA

    Wyrm74 replied to prospernurse's topic in University of Texas Arlington

    I am in the same class right now, and it is easily the hardest class of the program so far. Just follow the rubrics for the assignments and it will help tremendously. I just finished the paper, which...

  6. How realistic is my plan?

    Wyrm74 replied to ground's topic in Canada Nursing Programs

    I completely disagree. It's all about you and the effort you're willing to put in. I worked full time all through nursing school and graduated at the top of my class with a 4.0. You will do as well as...

  7. The FINAL final

    Wyrm74 replied to mynismrh's topic in General Students

    I know it sound ridiculous, but try to relax. I went into my final needing a 95 to get an A in my class and thereby graduate with a perfect 4.0. With that clearly out of reach, I just relaxed and...

  8. Need help. (Planning to move to Texas from DC)

    Wyrm74 replied to nxs60's topic in Texas Nursing

    Yep, Baylor is the better way to go. Better everything! Med Center Plano has a terrible reputation. The internet is filled with common nursing interview questions, with some great ones right here on...

  9. What was/are the 3 things that got/get you through nursing school?

    Wyrm74 replied to crushlush's topic in General Students

    My wife Diet Coke Sheer

  10. First Day of Nursing School

    Wyrm74 replied to sealford's topic in General Students

    My last semester starts on the 23rd officially, but we are doing all our psych clinicals in January before that. I'm halfway done with that and have already completed my 3 required psych papers. I'm...

  11. How many men in your cohort?

    Wyrm74 replied to Caribbean Character's topic in Male Nursing Students

    Just me and 20 girls, so that is a shade under

  12. How is nursing competitive exactly?

    Wyrm74 replied to Autumn.Olive's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It sounds like you are just sort of sniffing around the idea of becoming a nurse, with little or no commitment. There isn't anything wrong with that, but it probably means you should stay away. If...

  13. Class of 2014

    Wyrm74 replied to StudentOfHealing's topic in General Students

    I graduate May of 2014 as well. I can't believe it, where did the time go?! Best of luck to everyone in their final semester, preparing for the NCLEX, and finding gainful employment. We've all worked...

  14. Just Accepted!

    Wyrm74 replied to BigWesYall's topic in Male Nursing Students

    Don't let nursing school scare you bro, it's not that bad. I take it week by week to a avoid being overwhelmed. Works really well to break it into bite-size chunks like that! Whether or not you work...

  15. Stethoscope

    Wyrm74 replied to ilovemythreeguys's topic in General Students

    If you can hear what you need to, don't worry about it. I had to invest in a Littman to hear adequately, but you might be different. I didn't really want to spend $100 on a stethoscope, but I will...

  16. 30+ club! Lets do this together.

    Wyrm74 replied to alynn's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Stay the course, y'all are closer than you think! I started pre-reqs at 35 and I now have 1 year left of nursing school. Graduation is May 2014! It's difficult to juggle a wife, kids, a full time job,...

  17. HELP :( really depressed about school lately.

    Wyrm74 replied to SoontobeNurseAshley's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Don't sweat it, it isn't a race. I started pre-reqs in 2010 and I will graduate next spring in 2014 at the ripe old age of 40! Just keep moving steadily forward and don't worry about rushing to the...

  18. I lol at the stud who quit because he had to empty a bedpan...

    Wyrm74 replied to tenjuna's topic in Male Nursing Students

    What it means it that HE never thought it through. You mean to tell me that this guy "spends two years of his life on pre-reqs. Thousands of dollars on classes. Countless hours of studying and...

  19. I lol at the stud who quit because he had to empty a bedpan...

    Wyrm74 replied to tenjuna's topic in Male Nursing Students

    Oh geez, get off your high horses people and laugh a little. That was funny! If you don't think it was, you take yourself entirely too seriously. Thanks OP, made me

  20. I'm 37 & male...

    Wyrm74 replied to pacjeffery's topic in Male Nursing Students

    Everything you want to do can be accomplished as long as you go all in. I went back to school at 35 doing pre-reqs and started my ADN program last fall. I'm finishing my second semester now and will...

  21. Moving to dallas, tx from california, new grad RN, need advice!

    Wyrm74 replied to lynloro's topic in Texas Nursing

    DFW is not a good place for new grad ADN's at the moment. Most new grad hires are BSN holders. I do wish you luck

  22. Can i have a job during the nursing program?

    Wyrm74 replied to marisab's topic in General Students

    Sure you can. I work full time as a CNA, 3 shifts a week, 12 hours each, all while maintaining a 4.0 GPA. You must be disciplined and FOCUSED, and willing to be tired! Very do-able though. Nursing...

  23. working part time in nursing school?

    Wyrm74 replied to TamTam23's topic in General Students

    I work Fri, Sat, Sun (12 hr shifts as a PCT) and have nursing school M-Th. It is a challenge but you can do anything if you apply yourself. Go forth and

  24. Not too many of "You."

    Wyrm74 replied to Cali_Nurse_209's topic in General Students

    No big deal, I'm sure nothing negative was meant by it. I met the rest of my class today and found out that I am the ONLY male in my class. There aren't even any male instructors. Jeez! I heard...

  25. Spring 2013 El Centro College ADN

    Wyrm74 replied to MorganB's topic in Texas Nursing

    The TB test was around that same amount if I remember correctly, $20-$30. Also, there are multiple locations for DCHO. If the one in Denton says they are out of varicella, check the Lewisville...
