  1. Any peri operative nursing book recommendations?

    A student membership in AORN is only $20. You will have access to most their site, and get a subscription to the AORN journal. It is worth it!
  2. How long for ATT, test date, license.

    It all worked out! I was worried when I saw your timeframe, I have heard the U pretty firm about having your license by the start date. Mine just posted also, and took 9 business days.
  3. How long for ATT, test date, license.

    What about North Platte or Casper? I looked at moving up mine, and Casper had some closer dates, but I decided to stick with my original date.
  4. How long for ATT, test date, license.

    That is such great news! I told everyone graduating in December ruined the holidays, but we have gotten our ATTs much faster than the May grads :-)
  5. Houston Area?

    You actually have 90 days now to get a Texas license if you have a compact license. It changed in April 2013. https://www.ncsbn.org/30-90_days_Implementation_Table_072313(2).pdf
  6. I failed my Blood pressure assessment

    If they have a training double stethoscope try listening with an instructor (we used one of these for our test). You might not have it in the right spot.
  7. Questions about Seton Versant RN Residency in Austin

    It is open now, you might have just been a little to early. I would try a different browser if you still can not get into the application.
  8. We submit a wish list, and you can rank what is most important to you such as, specific hospital, location or type of hospital. I have gotten my first choice for every rotation but one so far. For senior practicum we can make a pretty extensive lis...
  9. Ebooks

    I tried the ebook using pageburst for one class on the recommendation of the professor, and I HATED it. The search function sounded great, but it would often give me to many results, and I would have to wade through them all to find what I really ne...
  10. I am a senior nursing student in Colorado, and I am trying to everything organized to start applying for jobs. Some of the hospitals I look at want letters from clinical instructors, is this the professor who taught the didactic portion of the class...
  11. LOR Clinical Scholar Vs Clinical Instructor

    Thanks! I have a friend that was having trouble with an out of state app because her clinical scholar was not part of the university faculty, (I guess they are at some schools?), but was employed by the hospital. This had me worried I am collecting ...
  12. How can I prepare for Pharm I and Pathophysiology?

    Study A&P! It all starts there, and if you can picture how everything works normally you can better understand the abnormal.
  13. They both have merits. The iPad has that app that you can use to take notes right on the powerpoint slides, and it is small and light, but my apple only classmates run into problems with online content not being supported sometimes, and have to do s...
  14. What other books do you use

    I tried a lot of study guides, but the only ones I ever really used are Med Surg Success and the Saunders NCLEX review. I really liked Med Surg Success because it has rationales for the correct and incorrect answers.
  15. They all have the classes you are talking about, they have just given them different names. Maternal nursing at my school is called "Nursing Care of the Childbearing Family" and Med Surg is "Adult and Elder Nursing Care". The least expensive school...
  16. Actually they did not increase enrollment that much, while the summer 2012 group was huge, the winter 2013 group was 24 people, so for the year I believe the enrollment is about the same.
  17. That is interesting since I am currently enrolled in UC Denver's traditional program, and I have had 2 placements at the VA and 1 at University... I also know for a fact that the VA has groups for the rest of the year. About half of my group are h...
  18. Please tell me what worked for you in MED SURG?

    I used the same book, and it has a clinical companion book that accompanies it, I read that more than the text, much more concise. If they are testing heavily from the book there is also a study guide for the text that is good, but I didn't use it m...
  19. Hardest thing about nursing school?

    That there is only 24 hours in a day, and you still need to sleep! Having to stay up late to do clinical prep, then getting up early for clinical.
  20. Wet Hair Don't Care?

    I am a 3b with long hair, and my 2nd day hair routine is to make it a little damp, use a little leave in conditioner, and then some gel. My mom has short hair and uses the same routine. Your hair may still be a little damp, but with hair as curly a...
  21. Wet Hair Don't Care?

    Another curly girl here. I wash and gel my hair the afternoon before, so that it is dry before bed. Then just get it a little damp in the morning, and put some good hard hold hair gel (Biosilk Rock Hard Gelee works great, you don't need much) mixed...
  22. Yes I did just buy the book "new"

    For text books I have bought almost all new, when I do buy a used one I get one in "like new" condition that still has the supplemtal materials. I like having the CD or access codes for extra study materials. I have had really good luck with amazon...
  23. HELP!!!! (First Semester Nursing School)

    I love the "Success" series of books, they give you rationals for both right and wrong answers. Many critical thinking questions have more than one correct option, but one is more correct. There are some VERY smart people in my class that had a har...
  24. Med Surg Advice

    I just finished med surg, and I really enjoyed it. You get to take all of the theory you have been learning and actually apply it. Just remeber you can learn from everyone on your unit during clinicals. Our testing was very critical thinking heav...
  25. Just a quick question about your clinical schedule????

    Anywhere between three weeks to days before the block starts.
