Ok ladies, I've a bit of info for you all. :) Since the calendar is in black and white (which btw it should be in color, as one of the legends shows a color coded system), I've been trying to make...

@makey- I'm not sure. Each instructor is different, so it'll be impossible to fully know until we meet them. But I don't see why not...I mean at our very orientation they had that sales pitch lady...

I saw you, adb! :) You were either in the row in front of me or 1 in front of that, to the left of the room. Makey might have been the one that sat 2 rows directly in front of us? Mrs ______________...

@mrskennedy: NO WAYYYYY!!!!!!!!!! I had my eyes peeled for everyone. hahaha Can't believe I missed you and you were right there! Whenever I got in and sat down, I started looking around for our crew....

Hey mum! :) It went well. Mrs. ___________ and the director, Mrs. ____________ were the only ones there. The only instructors we saw were in pictures on the wall. I think it will be a neat...

OK GUYS!!!!!!!!!!!! :) I met Red at the orientation but didn't see anyone else! I sat at the back row. Where were you guys? I might have possibly seen RaeAnn, but I wasn't

mrskennedy, the Bain Center is farther back (I always look for the clock tower). :) It's quite a bit larger than the Hachie location for sure. haha After tomorrow, I bet the rest of our time off will...

Forney Treasure Exchange? :) Sounds like quite a bargain! :D I'm not sure of the exact room to look for...I figure I'll just spot a few familiar faces and I'll know I'm in the right room.
You might look into UT Tyler. They have great online ADN-BSN programs, as well as ADN-MSN. :) Consider all universities in Texas, no matter the distance. Some have very good programs, all of which are...
timmedico replied to RED1984's topic in Texas Nursing
I'm excited too!!!!!! :) Though the day will be long, it is full of different speakers and activities, so it'll be fine I think. I'm good at matching stuff with pants and shorts, but for some reason...

Hahaha yep, they're black. That morbid is hilarious! Anything matches black, right? You're quite right! Literally just like pjs. :) The hospital I was volunteering at was always super cold, and the...

I have a question for anyone who paid online- When does web advisor recognize that your payment was made, process it, and show the amount as $0.00? I just paid online for the first time...so I've no...

Have you guys looked through the handbook? I skimmed every page and only one thing stood out: No gum chewing (not sure if this is just for clinicals or what) to prevent contamination...which kills me!...

I suppose it would be best to email Josh questions, eh? :) I think I asked Mrs. ___________ all the questions I could think of at the time. It would be nice to hear about these bridge program guys.

Makey, I didn't do the recording, but this girl that was in my A&P I and II classes did it. I believe she had a busy life at home (maybe children, jobs, etc). If anything, the recording is taking...
timmedico replied to RED1984's topic in Texas Nursing
@Makey, the drug testing has to be paid for by the orientation date so that we can put the receipts into separate boxes (make copies and keep them, just in case the record is lost). Other than that I...
timmedico replied to RED1984's topic in Texas Nursing
Makey yes, there are a few things we'll need to bring to orientation. *Surscan receipt *Receipt showing you purchased the lab kit *4mb-8mb flash drive w/student handbook downloaded on it *3...
timmedico replied to RED1984's topic in Texas Nursing
Good question, Makey. I guess it depends on what you need/want. I got the Littman Cardiology III, which has clearer sound, etc (I like it because it's easy to hear, very definite); however, this...
