Sorry, Yang. I didn't pass my first one either last semester, as I told y'all before. I cried, but then I was determined that was not going to keep me from my goal!!!!! I spoke with a guy that I had...
What.....did you see me or something!?!?!??! STD talk leads to one LONGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG lecture! Our class starts at 9AM, but I wanted to get there really early d/t a 'seating list'. I...
Jaxia.... You have Mrs. M for skills lab as well? I would think Mrs. M would tell you if you didn't pass. I hunted her down after the Medication check-off to make sure I passed. I didn't want to...
The questions we have to have completed before clinical (Page 200 in the clinical handbook???) #2 says, "Perform a head-to-toe assessment and the estimate of gestational age on a newborn", and #8...
Hmmmm.....I don't know which I will choose. Like I posted earlier, I have to make it past 2nd semester first. My PEDI orientation is today. That should be interesting. Katie.....exactly how are we...
I like UT-Tyler's option of RN-MSN. I would love to be a clinical instructor later on down the line, but would probably pursue the NP, and then get a teaching certificate. Gotta do something when I'm...

Hmmmm....it says that ENGL 2311 is the equivalent. I guess I'll see what's happening this summer. 5 AM.....yep...way too early when you have to study too! :stone I'll definitely have to go to bed...
There are free text-to-speech programs out there, but you have to spend time manipulating the pronounciation and pauses, etc. I found good to listen to the lectures over and over, or a recording of me...
BATH!!! That's it!!!!!!! Ooops! (I knew it was something like that!) Finallyat40...that's for nipping that in the butt....err bud. I go to clinical on Thursdays, but go there on Wednesdays...
