  1. Chamberlain in the fall!

    Please come back once you're in the program and tell us how you like it! We would love to
  2. Chamberlain in the fall!

    Very congrats!!!! The Houston program hasn't had a cohort take the NCLEX yet, have they? Nothing is showing up on the 2012 NCLEX pass rate on the Texas BON site, at least. I'm kinda waiting to see...
  3. Whats the difference?

    If you're not mentally and emotionally ready for a BSN program, then, by gosh, DON'T DO IT! Only YOU can tell if this is actual non-readiness, or just the normal jitters everyone experiences. If...
  4. I had that same question about a year ago and found out that it was the four-year degree in nursing that counted -- the BSN is what the hospitals want. That being said, try to show (by resume or in...
  5. Just so you are aware -- the image you posted is not showing up. Your post has no
  6. Avoid "Karing with Kindess" CNA program

    Agreed, esand. And the poster's rather belligerent, unprofessional approach to the situation makes me side even more with the OP's original concerns. This new post does not put Karing With Kindness...
  7. FIRST MEDICAL JOB!!!

    CONGRATS!!! Sounds as if you did your homework and aced the real life test!
  8. Whats your favorite montra or saying?

    "Where ever you go, there you
  9. Chamberlain Nursing school houston spring 2012

    I just noticed that the Houston Chamberlain CON no longer offers the accelerated BSN program. That was a fast
  10. CNA To Medical Assistant?

    Absolutely agree that medical assisting would (1) be a step in the wrong direction for your goals, and (2) not be worth the price of admission. Medical assisting and nursing are not interchangeable....
  11. Hooray! The (public) Texas Board of Nursing website is showing that the BON intends to reinstate the Second Degree BSN Program back to FULL APPROVAL!!!! Should officially take place at the October...
  12. No apology needed, mrspolly! You were seeking information, which is a significant reason for the existence of this forum! If money is not a major concern, then CMA (certified medical assistant) would...
  13. Second guessing my decision

    Oh, yeah! As others have already said and in a better way than I can, it's a matter of culture shock. As with any new experience, especially one of such total immersion as is nursing school, you will...
  14. Quitting Nursing School

    Hargrove86: I won't profess to know what you're going through, but, wow, your post fits my situation eight years ago to a T! Second degree, best BSN nursing school in the state, 4.0 GPA my first...
  15. Nursing Program, should I just not even try?

    I recall reading about a Texas program called "Fresh Start" or something like that -- where you had a once-per-lifetime ability to throw out ALL past college grades and start over. Sort of a...
  16. WGU Pre-licensure program

    Am I understanding the pre-licensure program correctly? It's a two-part program: the first part is the didactic, on-line self-paced portion. Once you pay for and finish that, you then have to...
  17. WGU Pre-licensure program

    For the Houston applicants -- where did you take the biochemistry prereq? I have 8 credits of general chemistry but can't seem to find a lower-level biochem class offered anywhere locally.
  18. Fortis College LVN program

    I had briefly looked into this program and was scared away by the $26k tuition and 72% pass rate on the PN NCLEX from last year. My local Cy-Fair LVN program had a $3k price tag with a 100% pass rate,...
  19. Failed Hesi PV Students

    The only way to get an accurate and reliable answer to your question is to check with the nursing school itself. If they allow a third try, it would be best to look carefully at why you failed the...
  20. Excelsior LPN-ADRN

    You'll find a wealth of information on your question under the Excelsior thread in this sub-forum. Bottom line, the third-party book marketers are NOT necessary, are very over-priced, and require...
  21. Waitressing as a pre-req?

    All the more reason for jumping ship to correctional care. If the inmate patients start making demands, I'm not going to lose my job for saying "no." Now, of course, if the hospitals institute a...
  22. Waitressing as a pre-req?

    Note to self: Must not ask family members, "Would you like fries with that?" Must not must
  23. applejacks36 -- thank you so much for such an enlightening and cogent post! And congratulations to you for landing up in what sounds like the perfect job for you, whether it remains short term or...
  24. Anyone else have a problem with this ad?

    No quality product would use (or need) such cheesy advertisement; ergo . .
  25. Applejacks36 -- THANK YOU! I know the conditional status can't be changed until October because the BON's next meeting is not until then, so I was concerned the timing might not work out. But with...
