  1. UTHSC Traditional BSN Spring 2014 Applicants

    oceanise replied to meganelaine93's topic in Texas Nursing

    mcf011, I park at garage 8 on the SW corner of Pressler & Holcombe. I walk to school from there which is about 1/2 mile and takes 10 min or so, but there's a TMC blue shuttle that you can take if...

    Haha well health assessment doesn't have lecture, just lab time. Care you'll be in the skills lab until you start clinicals, and there's maybe 1 or 2 sim labs or something after that. They're...

    Yeah it's just people talking, some of it's worthwhile and other things aren't. Navy blue scrubs. You wear them for clinical and anytime you're in the skills lab, which will be every Monday for health...

    Yeah, there's a HESI for every class. You'll take a fundamentals (for care I), patho, and health assessment HESI first semester. I think they're doing the pharm HESI in the last semester now. There's...

    Yes, and there is a form that you will need to bring with you to have filled out.

    I've heard of people not receiving acceptance letters until the week before classes actually started, so you want to make sure you're as ready to go as

    UT Houston doesn't make you pay a deposit! For those that are still waiting, I recommend looking up what vaccines are required for the schools you applied to and get anything that you don't have yet,...

    oceanise replied to meganelaine93's topic in Texas Nursing

    I wouldn't read ahead because you won't be responsible for all the info in the book (and you don't need the book for pharm, btw), the instructors will narrow it down for you so that you know what to...

    & to those of you still waiting to be accepted, as long as you meet the criteria, don't give up hope! There was someone in my class who was accepted like, the day before classes started. Not...

  10. UTHSC Traditional BSN Spring 2014 Applicants

    oceanise replied to meganelaine93's topic in Texas Nursing

    We'll see how it goes, I personally like the traditional program and find it disappointing they're not offering the choice anymore... Patho and pharm were challenging but I enjoyed both classes and...

    Also, just as a heads up in case you haven't heard, the school sent out an email yesterday notifying us that they're transitioning to the pacesetter program only, starting in spring

    Congratulations to everyone who was accepted! I'm currently an S1 (third semester) at UTHSC so I might see some of you around next spring. To the person trying to decide between UTHSC and HBU, I've...

  13. UTHSC-Houston Spring 2013

    oceanise replied to Ladybug3's topic in Texas Nursing

    The school was advertising a $89/month contract that's supposedly a "discount" price. If I remember correctly, it wasn't even that close to campus. There's others where you can pay for the whole...

  14. UTHSC-Houston Spring 2013

    oceanise replied to Ladybug3's topic in Texas Nursing

    Yeah, it's horrible. I think the garages closer to campus are $12/day(!!!) and the one across the street on Holcombe (garage 2 if I remember correctly) is like 8 levels or something ridiculous. So I...

    oceanise replied to Ladybug3's topic in Texas Nursing

    If there's a convenient metro route near you, or a park and ride or something, you might want to consider that. Or take the shuttle if you can. I don't take the metro so I don't really have much info...

  16. UTHSC-Houston Spring 2013

    oceanise replied to Ladybug3's topic in Texas Nursing

    Try not to panic! There's people in my class with up to 5 kids(!!) and many of them have been able to hang in there, although I'm sure there's plenty of challenges. Like you said, time management is...

    oceanise replied to Ladybug3's topic in Texas Nursing

    I posted the list of books a few pages back... just wanted to let y'all know that the Bruyere case studies book won't be used for patho anymore starting next semester, so don't buy that one!

    oceanise replied to Ladybug3's topic in Texas Nursing

    You will all attend lecture together but will be divided up into groups of 10 for labs. It depends on the class. For care I and HA, there are multiple people who lecture, depending on the week. The...

    The dosage calculatons test is really easy. Seriously, don't stress out over it or bother studying for it now. It's just really basic conversions, like mL to ounces, oz to pints, or lbs to kg. Or if...

    oceanise replied to StudentOfHealing's topic in General Students

    I'm living and going to nursing school in Houston so I can understand your fears. You really do have to drive super defensively here! It's great that you feel more confident after practicing! Don't...

    oceanise replied to Ladybug3's topic in Texas Nursing

    Sure! Buy as many of these used as you can, except the NCLEX books. Many of the upperclassman will be selling their textbooks. Health Assessment: Physical Examination and Health Assessment 6th...

    oceanise replied to Ladybug3's topic in Texas Nursing

    The school doesn't actually give a complete list. The upperclassman were very helpful in telling us ahead of time what we need to buy though. For clinicals/labs - navy blue scrubs w/UThealth patches...

    oceanise replied to Ladybug3's topic in Texas Nursing

    I'm not sure if there's any restrictions. I'd just get the double sided. Most people seem to have either a Littmann classic II SE or classic II lightweight (both are fine depending on how much money...

    oceanise replied to Ladybug3's topic in Texas Nursing

    They have to be navy blue. Some brands label the color as indigo (I know Grey's anatomy does at least). Shoes are white. They're not really strict about shoes, just as long as they're mostly white,...
