   RMT2RN replied to gizmo12's topic in Texas

   Oh, by the way, we call it A&M. In your case, you'd say "A&M at Corpus". Just helpin' ya get started on the local dialect.

   RMT2RN replied to gizmo12's topic in Texas

   Thanks Broombug for the link. Those statistics are very interesting. I'm surprised there aren't more of all types of NP in austin. I am just starting my ADN program but have my eyes set on being a NP down the road. I hope you like Austin, most pe...

3. NP in Austin

   RMT2RN replied to gizmo12's topic in Texas

   What's an ACNP? I'm a nursing student and still learning what's out there in the nursing world. I live in Austin and the are NPs everywhere. Many are being educated right here at UT's program.

4. life in AUSTIN Texas

   RMT2RN replied to extreme's topic in Texas

   I am still a student. I'm actually just finishing my pre-reqs and starting the official nursing program in January. I still have a couple of years to go. That's why I can't give you any good info yet on ratios. I'd like to know myself. I'm not s...

5. Any other learning disabled students out there?

   RMT2RN replied to RMT2RN's topic in General Students

   :angryfire That is so frustrating! Have you talked to more than one person? Is there more than on campus at your school? I'm only asking because I was told by a different counselor at my new campus that he would not be able to give me some of the ...

6. life in AUSTIN Texas

   RMT2RN replied to extreme's topic in Texas

   Texas is one of the few states with no state tax, only federal income tax. The federal tax varies by income. You will also have social security taken out of your check. I make about the same income as many RN's right now and it seems like I have a...

7. life in AUSTIN Texas

   RMT2RN replied to extreme's topic in Texas

   I am only a nursing student but I am an Austin native. I can't answer questions specific to working but hopefully I can help you a little. Austin pays a little less than the other Texas cities. You can find some more threads on this if you search ...

8. Any other learning disabled students out there?

   RMT2RN replied to RMT2RN's topic in General Students

   It's alway nice to hear other people's stories. I give each professor an official copy of my accomodations at the beginning of the semester. Some have been very helpful and some only comply with them because they are required to by law. I have cer...

9. Nursing is kinda like waiting tables

   RMT2RN replied to lilypad2424's topic in General Students

   I also sucked at being a waitress. At least with nursing you're not working for tips so if your patients think the "service" is too slow your income won't be affected. I also didn't go through two years of clinical training to be a waitress so I re...

10. Any other learning disabled students out there?

    RMT2RN posted a topic in General Students

    Hi there, I'm just curious as to who else is out there with learning disabilities. I was not diagnosed until I was in my late twenties and will be starting my nursing program in January. I've done pretty well on my pre-reqs over the last couple of ...

11. Got any stethoscope recomendations?

    RMT2RN replied to RMT2RN's topic in General Students

    Thanks for your recomendations. I was looking at the Littman Classic II SE and the Master Classic II. The Master looks like better acoustics for just a few dollars more but doesn't have the double bell. I feel silly now, putting so much time into...

12. Got any stethoscope recomendations?

    RMT2RN posted a topic in General Students

    I am a beginning nursing student and we are required to purchase our stethoscopes within the next few weeks. There are so many brands and quality levels. Littman seems to be widely used. I think I want to go ahead and get a nicer one for the sound...

13. Any ACC students out there?

    RMT2RN replied to rockermom's topic in Texas

    Good luck to you. I found pickaprof.com to be very helpful in deciding whose class to take. It makes all the difference in the world to have good instructors, especially in the science classes.

14. Any ACC students out there?

    RMT2RN replied to rockermom's topic in Texas

    Hello, It seems it's been about a month since anyone replied to this thread but I'd like to get it going again. I've been officially on the waiting list since June 2005 and was told I wouldn't start until January. I also got the email about a month...
