  1. UTHSC Summer 2015 Application

    acmj replied to native_texan's topic in Texas Nursing

    I *might* be applying to the Summer 2015 program. I'm not 100% sure. I'm also applying to the UT AE MSN, so I'm still trying to decide if I'll be applying to the UTHSC Program... I have a bachelor's...

  2. UT Houston - Spring 2015 Accelerated

    acmj posted a topic in Texas Nursing

    Hi all, I apologize in advance if this is in the wrong place... I am currently deciding between applying for a Bacc2 BSN or an alternate entry (I think it's also called direct entry?) MSN.. I looked...

  3. This is my nursing essay for application. Please read and give feedback if possible

    acmj replied to knicoleb's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I think that this is definitely a good starting point, but you are doing a lot of "telling" and not enough "showing". Show the events that made you want to become a nurse, get descriptive. Remember...

  4. 2nd Degree BSN / career changer

    acmj replied to Grad 2020's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm in Texas, you should take a look at the TTUHSC 12 month online program... it's 12 months and distance. You need a CNA certification and a few unique pre-reqs (pathophysiology to be specific)......

  5. PVAMU Student Taking A&P I and Micro Fall 2014...good idea???

    acmj replied to bettiboop___'s topic in Texas Nursing

    This is TOTALLY doable. It sounds like you are a pretty strong student as is, so I think you can handle it. I took literally the most (unnecessarily) difficult anatomy class EVER along with 2 govt...

  6. Pre-Nursing MOMS Unite!

    acmj replied to ASN2016's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Welcome to allnurses and out of lurkdom :) I'm 23 - mama to a 2.5 year old girl and a little man on the way in July. I was planning on applying to a bunch of accelerated BSN programs for the summer of...

  7. UT Houston - Spring 2015 Accelerated

    acmj replied to acmj's topic in Texas Nursing

    MissKAL, when you say "MSN not being accepted" toward becoming an NP, what do you mean? Do you just mean that the MSN at UT doesn't have a pathway for NP or that other universities are not accepting...

  8. Almost bombed first exam..

    acmj replied to __patiently_waiting's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Your*

  9. Almost bombed first exam..

    acmj replied to __patiently_waiting's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I hope you open a book in A&P regardless of what you're teacher is doing in class.... That being said, for every class, when you get the syllabus, read it twice. Mark down any dates in your...

  10. Anatomy and Physiology Online

    acmj replied to bkburgos1326's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    The important thing to distinguish here is whether or not the lab is online. To me, it sounds like you're looking for a class with the lecture and lab online. I would sincerely advise against this....

  11. Should I take chemistry and general psych?

    acmj replied to Tinkk's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I have a BA in psych, so I'm biased.... but I think psychology classes make you a more rounded person and more capable to put yourself in someone else's shoes. Being able to look outside of yourself...

  12. HESI-A2 without taking Physiology?

    acmj posted a topic in HESI Entrance, Exit Exam

    For those of you who have taken the Hesi A-2, do you think that having taken anatomy without the physiology, that you could do well? My whole thought is that it is physically impossible to not learn...

  13. HESI-A2 without taking Physiology?

    acmj replied to acmj's topic in HESI Entrance, Exit Exam

    The Risk is my application is due on August 15th and I don't know if I'll be able to get into a physiology class over the summer (we have silly rules at my college where you can't take micro or physio...

  14. 18 Credit Hours + Working?!

    acmj replied to JayCimone's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I think you should listen to your parents. You're taking a lot of classes that require memorizing small details which can take some time to really memorize.. If you have a good work ethic, it can...

  15. MacBook vs. Chromebook

    acmj replied to FuturePedRN2016's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Dranger, It's no use arguing after a certain point lol... I've tried, A lot of people are buying it for the name. I work for a competitor of Apple (just being honest about my opinions because that's...

  16. MacBook vs. Chromebook

    acmj replied to FuturePedRN2016's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    The major problem with Chromebooks is that you absolutely have to have some type of internet access to access your documents. all storage is in the cloud on these, which is great because it doesn't...

  17. How are you networking (or how did you)?

    acmj posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I know for most us we have ideas about where we'd like to start straight out of school if we had our pick of the litter, so to speak. For myself, I'd love to start straight away in L&D so that I...

  18. "Critical Thinking"?

    acmj replied to SirenoftheSea's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    ^ Manny92 gave a really great answer. I'd like to also add that thinking critically means you are capable of moving beyond rote memorization. For example, you can memorize the name of every bone in...

  19. Palpations, physical exams on genitals?

    acmj replied to lissart's topic in General Students

    I would expect that it would be unethical for a nursing school to subject it's students to something like that... at the very least, a lawsuit waiting to happen. I didn't know the mannequins are so...

  20. Macbook Air vs Macbook Pro

    acmj replied to mmcc01's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You obviously failed to read my initial post thoroughly. I *work* for a major IT company that directly competes with Apple. I have an apple at home. I have colleagues that work at Apple, Google, etc....

  21. Macbook Air vs Macbook Pro

    acmj replied to mmcc01's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It is just paying for a name... hard drives for all the major computer companies in the world come from the same exact place.. as do much of the other parts needed to make a computer. As for not...

  22. UTHSCSA Traditional BSN Application Fall 14

    acmj replied to WlongTX's topic in Texas Nursing

    I am up in the Austin area and will be a semester behind you all... Just wanted to say good luck to all of

  23. I have a BA and an MPS, fastest way to RN?

    acmj replied to hsilverman's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I have been exploring options like this as well and what everyone is telling me is to do the BSN. ADN's are being pushed out by those with more extensive academic credentials, so even if you went...

  24. 3 pre-reqs left and a dilemma

    acmj replied to honeyrose29's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Honestly, I think it's entirely possible to do it. The biggest thing is do you think it's possible? I'm taking anatomy and two government classes this semester in addition to working a 40 hour work...

  25. What classes to take before the HESI-A2?

    acmj posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Hi, I am starting my nursing pre-reqs this spring and wondering what courses I absolutely need before taking the HESI-A2? This will be my second bachelor's so the only courses I'm missing are two...
