    ACC Nursing Fall 2013

    Naturally Brilliant replied to lejpej's topic in Texas Nursing

    This might be a really stupid question, but you don't need letters of recommendation for this program, do

    Can a nursing instructor talk about the grade she gave you to hospital staff?

    Naturally Brilliant posted a topic in General Students

    Recently I got hired at a hospital nearby as a CNA, which is wonderful because I'm taking this year off (2013) from nursing school and I do want more clinical experience. I felt that I wasn't getting...

    Can a nursing instructor talk about the grade she gave you to hospital staff?

    Naturally Brilliant replied to Naturally Brilliant's topic in General Students

    I think I am too (worrying unnecessarily). I know that she'd just avoid me. Still, I'm committed to keeping things professional. I absolutely want to make the best impression possible and am just a...

    Can a nursing instructor talk about the grade she gave you to hospital staff?

    Naturally Brilliant replied to Naturally Brilliant's topic in General Students

    Well, okay. Thank you then. But hopefully it won't get to that point where I need a lawyer

    Can a nursing instructor talk about the grade she gave you to hospital staff?

    Naturally Brilliant replied to Naturally Brilliant's topic in General Students

    That's what I need to know: Whether or not I have grounds to seek legal advice in the first place. Suppose that my now-former instructor had said to other nurses, "Oh, that new CNA, that person was my...

    Can a nursing instructor talk about the grade she gave you to hospital staff?

    Naturally Brilliant replied to Naturally Brilliant's topic in General Students

    You're missing my point. If my new manager had known who my instructor was (which I doubt) and asked about me, that's fine. For common-sense reasons, one would obviously list references of individuals...

    Can a nursing instructor talk about the grade she gave you to hospital staff?

    Naturally Brilliant replied to Naturally Brilliant's topic in General Students

    The CNA position I had applied to and had gotten the job for did not require one to be a nursing student, much less provide transcripts or academic records. Moreover, why would they? I didn't get an...

    Can a nursing instructor talk about the grade she gave you to hospital staff?

    Naturally Brilliant replied to Naturally Brilliant's topic in General Students

    Aren't student records confidential, though? I mean, sure, the former nursing instructor isn't my boss, and my CNA work obviously is a very different role from that of a nursing student, but it's an...

    FT Techs: What are the most popular and least popular days of the week to work?

    Naturally Brilliant posted a topic in Patient Care Technician, Assistants

    So I recently got a job as a clinical assistant, and as I understand it we get to sign up for the days we want. In other words, it's not as if I've been assigned every "Monday-Tuesday-Wednesday", but...

    UTHSC Houston applicants: What's the difference between Traditional & Accelerated BSN

    Naturally Brilliant posted a topic in Texas Nursing

    Okay, I've been looking through their website and I'm a little bit confused. This is where I'm at:https://nursing.uth.edu/prospstudent/applresources/infosession.htm So the Accelerated BSN program is...

    Getting Your Desired Position 101

    Naturally Brilliant replied to BostonTerrierLover's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Okay, so I have a question for the OP about contacting a human resources (HR) manager for a non-nursing clinical job that I'd applied to. It's at a Texas clinic where I live, but unfortunately I don't...

    UTHSC Houston applicants: What's the difference between Traditional & Accelerated BSN

    Naturally Brilliant replied to Naturally Brilliant's topic in Texas Nursing

    Fascinating. I'll definitely look into the traditional program. It seems that the admissions requirements for both the accelerated and traditional programs are identical, so that's good. I looked up...

    What do PCTs or clinical assistants do when they aren't working?

    Naturally Brilliant posted a topic in Patient Care Technician, Assistants

    So a full-time position for a PCT or a CNA or a CA is going to be generally either 7a to 7p, or 7p to 7a, and it's 3 days a week. That leaves 4 other days. The problem is that these nursing...

    Are there any Second Degree BSN programs that AREN'T accelerated?

    Naturally Brilliant posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I know that in those accelerated programs, they squeeze in 2 years worth of nursing education into 1 year. Then you take the NCLEX-RN. I sorta don't want to do an accelerated program, though. How...

    Are there any Second Degree BSN programs that AREN'T accelerated?

    Naturally Brilliant replied to Naturally Brilliant's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Very interesting. Thank you for this info. Ideally, I'd like to stay in my region of Texas (won't disclose that on this board, as it may give away my real-life identity). This isn't just because of...

    Are there any Second Degree BSN programs that AREN'T accelerated?

    Naturally Brilliant replied to Naturally Brilliant's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Oh okay! I wonder if I can directly apply for admissions into a Traditional BSN program. I wouldn't want to retake the SAT (which I took a decade ago​) and go through undergrad admissions

    Oh okay! So there's really not that much difference,
