Hi all, Can anyone tell me where I can get HEP B series shots for free or at a reasonable cost? I do not have health insurance, so a private doctor is out of the question. I tried the city clinics, but they won't do them for Adults. I got all of t...

Hi all, Is there anyone here starting at Prairie View this Spring or currently attending? I got my acceptance letter about 2 weeks ago....I am so excited...and nervous! Can any PV students give advice on what to expect? Thanks :)

Does anyone know of any reputable agencies in the Houston area? I am looking to do some ICU/PACU agency work. Thanks!

Hi, I wanted to find out if anyone knew the recent travel pay rates for San Diego? I talked to a recruiter and was told about positions at both UCSD and Sharp that paid $26 base and $30.33 blended. Is this a accurate rate for the area? I am in Tex...

hi all, i just started a student nurse position at md anderson cancer center in houston. i wanted to see if anyone had advice on what i can expect and what will make me a productive learner while on the unit. i will have a preceptor so that is goin...

Hello, I am new to traveling. I plan to travel to CA (San Diego) in the next 4-5 weeks. I have been talking to Medstaff and the recruiter had an open position she wanted to submit me for. She told me to make sure if I was working with another agen...

All of the above makes sense to me. Thanks guys and gals. I just didn't know if the recruiter was trying to get me not to sign up with another company. Like I said, this is new so I'm learning. I have 1 1/2 years experience, so it seems its hard ...

:rollAT SONT!!!!

Hi All, I'm new to home health and wanted to know how to handle this. My friend interviewed at a home health agency and was quoted $50 for a skilled nursing visit and $75 for an admission. I went to the same agency (different site) and was told $65...

BTW, I passed too! I already got my license in the mail!

I took mine today and burst into tears when it shut-off at 75. I'm SO glad I found another emotional person!

hello all, so i was in anaheim last week at the nsna convention. a lot of the ca hospitals were represented, and i was able to get my questions answered about new grad. programs. it was an exciting time! one of the main questions was about salary...

Grip on life...whatever boo.

Like I have been saying all along, everything is about perception. There are many things that go on in life that one can see as a negative. I feel blessed to have gone to PV. I have met some of the smartest, caring, rule-the-world type of women in...

FACTS (not what someone "heard"): People took exams over in my first semester because we had a very different class. Many people were there thinking they were going to skip along, and they failed. They were graciously offered retakes b/c the professo...

Well it wasn't unnecessarily difficult for me. It's all about perception and my perception is that I worked hard and I was rewarded. Your perception of "the way it is" is different from mine. Nothing was made unnecessarily hard so NO, "I don't kno...

My suggestion is to get the essential books first. You will know which ones those are because they are the main textbooks for each class. As far as the supplemental books, I would play those by ear. You will find out what type of learning style is...

It's pronounced Keisha. Sorry not from the SIPP! I just noticed your screen name...do we have something in common???

I'm not going to say too much because I don't have time right now. However, know this....if I can do it, you can do it. Many people who did not make it, did so because of their own doing. Being lazy, wanting to be spoon fed, wanting to go clubbing...

I'm glad you are excited! Remember that same excitement when times get tough. I remember when I got my acceptance letter...I cried. I was so grateful that I was able to start nursing school. Try to remember these times when you start to get discourag...

Garage parking is available after 3pm with a permit that costs $40 per semester. If you park in the garage before then you have to pay and its usually $10. Many people park at outlying lots such as, Fannin South (behind Sam's off 610), Wheeler stat...

My advice would be to go up to the school. Personally, I would want to talk to someone in person to get things straight. Also, keep copies of everything you send them...ALL THE TIME. Every paper, every form, every receipt. Let us know how it goes...

Being a white guy at PV is not that abnormal. A lot of people think that only Black people go to PV, however my class was EXTREMELY diverse. Don't worry, being one of the only guys is great. Our guys get lots of attention and they love it. GOOD L...

Hi all, I will be graduating from PVAMU-College of Nursing in 6(six) days, so I thought I would respond to some of the questions and comments. Class size: We started with 81 people....32 people will graduate this Saturday. Of the 32 people that ar...

Wrong again Tim. I live 8 minutes away from the Medical Center and have a nice 1bdrm apartment for $540. I have been living here for 2 1/2 years and my apartment has been perfect for my commute to school and work. It is in a nice well-to-do neighb...
