The Blinn nursing program is located at A&M health Science center off hwy 47. I graduated a year ago from the program and since then the program has changed a little (I was in a 5 semester program and now it is 4 semester) normally the first seme...

While I was taking pre-req I worked full time as tech. By the time I finished my pre req I had two kids and was still working full time. When I got into nursing school I worked full time and went to school full time while still be a mom as much as po...

I worked as a full time 7a shift tech the entire 2 years of nursing school. I mainly worked fri-sun. I'm also a mother of two who graduated from the program with honors. Yes it's hard and you really do need to be organized. I had a paper calendar and...

As a recent graduate from the generic ADN program I did not see any favoritism when it came to selecting people for the program. I do know that the program uses a point system (based on GPA, if you completed all required classes, TEAS score, and essa...

1. Why did you choose nursing? I always knew I wanted to be a nurse. When I was in 10th grade I got my CNA. After graduation I went to technical school and received my diploma in medical assistance. My MA diploma helped me get a job as a PCT in an IC...

I recently started working nights as a new RN after working 9 1/2 years on days as a tech. I also have two kiddos (7 and 5). Right now I flipped back and forth. For example: I worked Thursday and Friday night so on Wednesday night I went to bed aroun...

I worked full time (3 12hr shifts) as a patient care tech in an ICU. I had a lot of PTO saved up to use specific for nursing school but hardly used any the first year, if anything I used most of it my last semester of the ADN program. I worked every ...

I'm in my first year of nursing. I gross (before deductions) around $2,000 and take home around $1,200 biweekly.

I worked as a PCT for almost 10 yrs. continued my full time status while completely a 2 year ADN program. I have two kids and a husband that helped out a lot. Is it possible? Yes. is it hard? Yes. But I managed and even graduated with honors. A tech ...

In my 10+ years in the medical field I've had many titles; CNA, MA, PCT, student nurse, GN and finally RN recently. I hated being called a nurse until I officially passed the NCLEX. Even after graduating nursing school i would identify myself as a GN...

Last final of the semester was the 12th. Ended up with 2 As and 4 Bs. Not bad for working full time and having two kids. My last semester starts back on the 13th, so I'm going to enjoy Christmas with my kids before I start hitting the books again bef...

It can be done. I'm finishing my 4th of 5th semester of Nursing school (associate degree) and I've worked pretty much 24-36 hrs a week plus I have 2 kids. So for people that say it's impossible it's not. If your job is willing to work with you and yo...

I for one thought and did my research regarding the LVN program at the local community college. I even went as far as asking the nurse recruiter at the local hospital where I've worked as a tech for the past 9 years. I found out that with my years of...

Congrats on the job. Let me guess Scott and White in College Station.

Wow can't believe the faculty I work at isn't the only hospital still using Meditech. The facility actually "upgraded" and lets just say I don't think it's an upgrade, more like a down grade.

Fourth semester starts August 26th. Adult Health II (lecture and clinical) peds (lecture and clinical) and community (lecture and clinical).

That's not entirely true. I know PCTs that worked while going to LVN or RN school and got nursing positions before finishing nursing school. I know one PCT that got hired for a GN internship without interviewing for the position. Two PCT who are fini...

Yes the entire post is about working and school. If you read the entire thread my first post talks about my experience and the following post pretty much slams me. My feelings aren't hurt, I'm just trying to point out that just because she is having ...

I'm sorry that you can't handle your excessively busy schedule. But don't tell me that I can potentially harm a patient due to lack of sleep or busy schedule, because A) you don't know me and B) i would never do anything that could potentially harm a...

Since you asked about ICU I wanted to let you know that St. Joseph did not have an ICU internship for GNs like they've had in the pass. Instead they started a new internship program where you are trained as a Tele Nurse for the first six months then ...

The store is called Career Apparel and it's in Bryan off 29th street. If you just go in and tell them ADN program at Blinn they will tell you exactly which brand of scrubs are approved.

That's good that you got a pharm book. Yes we have had students drop and be added to my specific class. People have left for numerous reasons: pregnancy, moving, didn't want to do nursing anymore. Added: transfer from other schools, students who have...

Your welcome. I recently went by the uniform store in town and I asked about their "back to school sale" and thankfully they are having a sale from aug 9-11 33% off plus no tax. That is by far the best sale they have.
