    Orientation is Tuesday the 19th at 9:00 am. We generally have it in room 204, but I have heard that it is being moved to the theater. I am going to a meeting tomorrow and will double check this for...

    Just make sure you have something to take notes with - like a pad and a pencil. You are going to get quite a bit of information on Monday! You can wear normal clothes and just a heads up that EVERY...

    In the past, orientation ran until about 1 pm and then the CPR class is immediately afterwards. So, plan to at least 1 pm and plan on 5 pm if you are taking the CPR

    There are a few people that wear the flare leg in reds. You guys will be okay as long as they are Landau true red. For whites, cargo pants are also fine. You will appreciate having the pockets -...

    You can wear a black or white long sleeve shirt under your red scrubs and white only under your white scrubs. It isnt a bad idea to wear a t-shirt or undershirt under your whites anyways just because...

    I dont think you will have access to Angel or Canvass until orientation since that is generally when they put the new students in. You've only got another week though! It won't be long. Patches go...

    I think my immunitrax updated pretty quick, but if you have an issue, you should be able to show the records in the office and let them know that you have sent them in and are waiting for them to be...

    They have not put out specific information yet for dates. Have you tried calling the office to ask if they can give you that information? If they already know, I'm sure they will tell

    Just a second quick note.... DO NOT try to sign up for the ebooks and stuff on your own. There will be a day in class when the Elsevier guy comes and gets everyone enrolled in the online class at...

    The Lion Alert sends out texts when there is bad weather or school closings, etc. For us, it seemed to only be sent to people that lived in the immediate area of the school. We relied on each other...

    For the "extra" books like your math book, the pharmacology book and your care plan books, etc. you will not need the codes. So you can buy a used version without access codes and be just fine. When...

    jls0459 replied to Shine_On's topic in Texas Nursing

    So, I will talk a bit about books since that seems to be a hot topic! The pharmacology book and medical calculations book (which is your math book) can be bought online for super cheap. I think I got...

    Yay packets! There were times that they would let the afternoon lab stay with the morning lab, but it didn't happen all the time. You go into a smaller room and learn to do skills so they can't have...

    In your second semester, you will do a lot in Kaplan. There are assignments on Kaplan and you'll take a mid-curricular exam that is also through Kaplan. We also do have to take the Kaplan review so...

    Hello everyone, I've been on vacation so I'm sorry that I have been slow to respond. You won't need an NCLEX book for class unless you just want the practice questions. Honestly, your test questions...

    I got my letter about two weeks after they posted the cutoff scores. Due to the post they made online, I don't think you will see your letters until July. Keep an eye on the "applying for the next...

    Whatever you choose, I'm just happy to see all of you get started. I know that the road just to get to the point where you can apply for nursing school is a tough one, so applying and getting...

    There wont be anything stopping you from going to TWU or UTA when you finish the ADN program if you choose to do so, they just are not currently partnered with NCTC. A lot can change in two years...

    jls0459 replied to Shine_On's topic in Texas Nursing

    I think NCTC is paired with Tech and Midwestern, but that could all change two years from now! The smaller classes are a good thing in my opinion because you form a little family with your class mates...
