    Hamilton32 replied to Hamilton32's topic in Texas Nursing

    I wouldn't think that we needed a book for practicum but then again, I have no clue really. LOL!! I would think that the things we learn in Fundamentals lecture and lab would be from the text books,...

    Hamilton32 replied to Hamilton32's topic in Texas Nursing

    No, I haven't purchased any yet. I was waiting on Stephanie to assure me that we needed ALL of them before I bought ALL of them. LOL. I am sure what they say is required is actually "required",...

    Hamilton32 replied to Hamilton32's topic in Texas Nursing

    Excellent question, Amy - I was wondering the same thing myself. Should we start reading ahead? Also, do we REALLY require ALL the books the bookstore says we need for our classes? I have my 6:30 am...

    Hey Stephanie!!! Thanks for replying to our thread...yes, we are all giddy!! They had 174 applicants and they only took 24 of us, so it is a great honor!! Although the wait for the acceptance...

    Hamilton32 replied to Hamilton32's topic in Texas Nursing

    Ha!! Exactly. At least it's just the price of an expensive car, and not a 5-bedroom house in the Hamptons or something :) It's definitely an investment, but we will be so proud to have TCU on our...

    Hamilton32 replied to Hamilton32's topic in Texas Nursing

    I keep telling myself "It's all going to be worth it!!!" So, each semester costs roughly what a small Kia would cost. It's all good, right??

    Hamilton32 replied to Hamilton32's topic in Texas Nursing

    Hey Amy - first off, I would talk to financial aid as soon as possible. I don't know what you have to do in your situation, but mine was taken care of and all I had to do was accept/decline on the...

    Hamilton32 replied to Hamilton32's topic in Texas Nursing

    Ha ha!! I feel the same way...I wanted to lose 10-15 pounds over the summer, but now it's so freaking hot outside I can't hardly stand it. Oh well, maybe the heat will allow me to sweat the 10-15...

    Hamilton32 replied to Hamilton32's topic in Texas Nursing

    Yes, is definitely going to be different, actually stuyding. LOL. So did you check out the CPR website? I am probably going to go down to the scrub store this weekend and get some scrubs and my...

    Hamilton32 replied to Hamilton32's topic in Texas Nursing

    Well, thank you for the info!! I am glad the patches are cheap, I figured they would be more expensive. How do you prove that you're a TCU student to get the 15% discount? The scrubs don't sound...

    Hamilton32 replied to Hamilton32's topic in Texas Nursing

    Oh man, that stinks!! But I love statistics, it's a fun class!!! I took it last summer. That is a bummer only because we won't be in the same section AND you'll have classes 5 days a week. Some...

  24. TCU Fall 2012 Traditional BSN

    Hamilton32 replied to Hamilton32's topic in Texas Nursing

    That's my goal, too...4.0!!! :) So med/surg is boring?? I guess I can see how it would be. Labor and delivery just seems fun, the doctors are goofy, and even though the patients can be a whiney...

  25. TCU Fall 2012 Traditional BSN

    Hamilton32 replied to Hamilton32's topic in Texas Nursing

    I have done some rotations at JPS in the emergency room, and I liked the face-paced nature of it, but I have always wanted to work in OB/GYN. My daughter was born very prematurely and I was only 20...
