Dreksterr-- That's correct, you will need black scrubs when you start your second semester. Those will be the scrubs you wear to your clinical site. You can wear any color for the first semester.

You're very welcome. I will be starting my second semester this Spring. Like I said before, I am not 100% sure if things are the same as they were last semester, dress code wise, but if they are, then you should be fine to wear that.

I agree, it's really stupid.

They said that they used to allow it, but too many people abused the rules and would be on Facebook or other sites while in class, so those people ruined it for everyone else.

Sorry, I don't know about Kingwood, but for Cy-Fair, whenever you're in the lab, you have to wear scrubs because it is considered to be like a clinical setting. For our lecture class on Thursdays, you wear regular clothes. Some days, though, people w...

Oh and about the "matching scrubs". Not sure if it changed from last semester, but we were aloud to wear mismatch tops and bottoms as long as they were solid color with no patterns. I just wouldn't wear anything to crazy together as to not look unpro...

Just a heads up to the Cy-Fair students, in your clinical skills classes, you cannot use your laptop, iPad's, or other devices to view textbooks. They are not aloud in the class. You can use them only in your Health Assessment and Intro to Nursing cl...

Hi, everyone! Congrats to all of you who will be starting nursing school in just a few short weeks!! I will be starting my second semester at CyFair this Spring, and I just wanted to offer you guys any advice that you may need. If you have any questi...

Thank you! I just called a Randall's store by my house, and they said that they have some, so I will go there and get one tmrw. :)

Does anyone know where you can get a flu vaccine at yet? My doctors office says they wont have them in until late September-early October. I've been calling Walgreens to see if they've gotten them in yet, but they said either the end of this month or...

Yea, I'm really excited, that's the time slot I wanted also. And yes, we can wear any color of scrubs to lab. Did you get a rubella titer yet? I still have to do that.

I also got morning classes. :))

Cyfair schedules are up!

She just checked my vitals, ears, throat, lung sounds, heartbeat...very basic things. Also, had to fast for blood work to be checked. Urine was also checked.

That was not checked for my physical exam. The doctor skipped over it and said it was unnecessary. No worries. :)

For those who attended the Cyfair orientation...In the blue folder we were given it had a piece of paper in there about a mandatory family night. Do any of you know what that is exactly? Are we suppose to bring our families with us, and do you know w...

To my fellow Cyfair nursing students...Only 4 days until orientation! Yay!

That's correct, we do not have any summer classes. Our program starts in the fall. I verified this with the nursing dept. a few weeks ago.

I received an email today from the nursing dept. at Cyfair that said the new due date for it is Sept. 1st because the new vaccines for 2013 is not available yet. I was literally next in line at the Walgreens Clinic to have mine done today when I got ...

Yea, that's the one I went to. Maybe that's a good sign that you haven't heard anything yet. Rejections are probably processed faster. I wouldn't be too worried about it. Just keep checking your mail for your blue card. I bet it comes this week.

Ugh...so frustrating; I had my fingerprints done a couple weeks ago, and I just received a letter in the mail saying they've been rejected because the "quality of characteristics is too low to use". For those who may be putting off doing yours, I wou...

Thanks! 10-15 min. is not bad at all! I was afraid I would be there half the day. I'm going to the one at 1960 and Champions, too. I'll be sure to look good for my pic. lol

For those of you that have already gone to do your fingerprinting, how long did it take once you arrived at the place? I have an appt. to go get mine done tomorrow. Also, how long does it take to get the blue card in the mail?

Cy-Fair people...I called the nursing dept. at Cy-Fair and asked about the drug testing form, and she said that our instructor will give us all of that information later.

Registration number? Are you talking about the RegID that you are given after you schedule and pay for the fingerprinting?
