Hello all! Anyone else applying for the Fall 2012 semester @ Collin College? I have signed up to take the PSB on Dec 15th. All of you that have gotten 5 or 6 already, how did you study for it? Any particular study guides you would recommend?! T...

Congratulations! I'm starting my nursing classes in about 3 weeks as well! I was actually discussing travel with one of my night house supervisors at the hospital the other day, and I wouldn't mind international travel at some point. I figured, he...

I just tried to start one, but it is making me add members before it can be created. If you will PM me your names, I can add you and send requests.

Sounds like a good idea! :)

I will only be starting nursing school this Fall, but take it from someone that has worked in a few different ERs, seen/heard MANY things that go on in hospitals, and has also dated guys that I've worked with in said hospitals...keep it as profession...

:) !!!!

I'm "JustB27", btw...lol! Had a little name change.

Wow, that was fast! How is the fit of your scrubs? Did you do the tape measure thing or just make a guesstimate? I'm worried they will run super small and I will order the wrong size.

Also, make sure to make A's the first time around! In some cases, retakes can be a negative when the number of slots is low and the quality applicant count is high. It can be the difference between acceptance and a waitlist! I speak from experience, ...

Hello Bran! I'm not in your situation persay, but I recently went through orientation for my nursing program and when this topic came up, we were all advised to disclose any prior charges whether they were pending, expunged, or from 99 years ago. Th...

The bunnies! Yes, how could one forget the bunnies?! :)

Yes, I sure did take Micro @ PrestonRidge in the evening! I really enjoyed that class too. :) Thanks for the info on the books. $550 is not bad at all...what a relief actually! I'll have to give Amazon a go as well. I was a bit nervous when we w...

Hooray! It was great meeting some of you yesterday! I was called in from the waitlist and I'm super excited for the Fall. I look forward to working with all of you over the next two years. :) :cheers:

I was wondering the same thing, Determined. My hospital has a partnership with UTA to complete the BSN in 15 months (once prereqs are completed). I did read that they recommend students work no more than 20 hrs/ wk though.

Good luck!

It was actually a great idea to let your professor in on any frustrations/obstacles you might be experiencing. Hopefully he or she will have some good pointers to steer you in the right direction while studying. A&P has soooo much info, and som...

I feel your pain, acjb! . What were your stats, if you don't mind? I should have had 15 pts with 6/6 from the PSB...one pre-req in progress though. I will be calling first thing Monday. Don't be discouraged! I'm a lil bummed out at the moment, but I...

Got my letter. Im on the waiting list. *sniff*. Appts can be made starting Monday.

Hello all! I'm coming out of hiding now...I applied for the fall as well! Just wanted to say good luck to everyone! :)

Im not sure if this works for everyone, but for the purpose of saving time, I didn't read the entire passage. I would read the first sentence or two at the beginning, the middle couple sentences, and then the last sentences to get the main ideas down...

The pre-entrance exam books that I picked up from Half-Price books (a blue Kaplan book and my mind is blank on the other) had some great study points that served me well for the science portion. There was a little bit of everything from bio to basic ...

Sorry, Broonie! If it's any consolation, my nonverbal score was not the best either. Im not sure what happened. Those were deceptively "easy" while taking the test, but when I saw the score I was pretty shocked! My high math score saved that entire ...

Hooray! I picked up my scores today and got a 6. :) Good luck to the rest of you!

Where are all the OR peeps? lol! I'd love to be front row to some interesting procedures. (Maybe that's all the Grey's Anatomy-watching, but it would still be cool nontheless) :)

Hooray! Congrats on getting in! And thanks for the suggestion. Half-Price Books had a few guides with decent science rvw and reading comp sections. I will try those and hope for the best! The general concensus here has been rest and get speedy ...
