    Thanks

  2. NCTC ADN Fall 2014

    eLeVatioN replied to Shine_On's topic in Texas Nursing

    Are the nursing department phone lines usually busy all day around this time of the year (since syllabi and schedules were posted for current

  3. NCTC ADN Fall 2014

    eLeVatioN replied to Shine_On's topic in Texas Nursing

    Since the nctc website says not to ask, I thought it best not to ask directly. I will try Monday

  4. NCTC ADN Fall 2014

    eLeVatioN replied to Shine_On's topic in Texas Nursing

    I know orientation is only 10 days away, and I don't want to attract the wrong kind of attention to myself, but I am getting a little sick with worry that if I don't give as much notice as possible...

  5. NCTC ADN Fall 2014

    eLeVatioN replied to Shine_On's topic in Texas Nursing

    Excellent! I will make sure I pay for my classes then. How awful would it be to forget to do that and be dropped by orientation? (Pretty

    eLeVatioN replied to Shine_On's topic in Texas Nursing

    The unbundled books are care planning, pharmacology, drug reference and med calculations if I recall correctly. Although I didn't go through Majors, I did purchase some of them new and I will tell you...

  7. NCTC ADN Fall 2014

    eLeVatioN replied to Shine_On's topic in Texas Nursing

    I didn't buy the unbundled books through Majors, but I would be surprised if the program required or gave advantage to students with access codes specific to those unbundled books. What confirms my...

  8. First Job Landed - Need Financial Advice About It

    eLeVatioN replied to CRNAinthemaking.'s topic in First Year After Licensure

    I am thinking that they have to offer you benefits every enrollment period regardless of whether you take them, so they can't know for sure you won't enroll for their benefits in the future if your...

  9. How long did you wait to go back to school?

    eLeVatioN replied to Nightowl_lpn's topic in LPN to RN

    LVN licensed 2011, starting LVN-BSN program August 25, 2014. Working 45-hour weeks in home healthcare. Married with two young

  10. Just curious..what color is your stethoscope?

    eLeVatioN replied to Bubbly26's topic in General Students

    I somehow accidentally bought not one, but two Omron Sprague Rappaport steths on ebay last night. I was considering experimenting with silicone tape to see if the omron sr would make a superior...

    Mckinneygrl thanks for the Payless recommendation. I paid $38 for a pair

  13. NCTC ADN Fall 2014

    eLeVatioN replied to Shine_On's topic in Texas Nursing

    I received my blue card yesterday. I already did BON fingerprinting prior to this year because I am a transition student. I was surprised to even receive a blue card again, having forgotten that the...

    eLeVatioN replied to Shine_On's topic in Texas Nursing

    Jls0459, do you know anyone in the online/hybrid transition group? I want to ask if anyone knows what days the new fall class will meet in-person, so I can give my work as much notice as

    eLeVatioN replied to cakeandeggs's topic in First Year After Licensure

    No advice, but I will be sending good thoughts your way every night at

  16. NCTC FALL 2014 LVN

    eLeVatioN replied to rnhope2b's topic in Texas Nursing

    I completed the online-hybrid LVN program through NCTC Gainesville in 2010. I was just clearing out some books from my shelf last night. They are likely too old to be relevant, but my experience may...

  17. Microbiology and A&P2

    eLeVatioN replied to goodgirl4u50's topic in LPN to RN

    Here is a relevant question or two: Are you working full-time? Do you have 20 or so hours a week to study for both courses together? I know it can be done in less time, if you read and work quickly...

  18. NCTC ADN Fall 2014

    eLeVatioN replied to Shine_On's topic in Texas Nursing

    For CPR you will get the cert card at the end of the class, so you can fax or upload it to immunitrax that day. My CPR expires 9/2015, so I am renewing it at orientation. A day off work costs more...

  19. Microbiology and A&P2

    eLeVatioN replied to goodgirl4u50's topic in LPN to RN

    Take micro first, then take a&p2. Both are hard, but AP is more relevant to nursing entrance exams and it would behoove you to have that information fresh on your mind. That's what I did. I start...

  20. NCTC LVN to ADN Transition Fall 2014 Hybrid

    eLeVatioN replied to NeverQuitNeverFail's topic in LPN to RN

    I guess it's just you and me, NQ. I wish one of last year's transition hybrid students would pop on and let me brain pick for a bit -- at least about the scrubs if not the dozens other minutiae. I...

  21. NCTC ADN Fall 2014

    eLeVatioN replied to Shine_On's topic in Texas Nursing

    Update on books: Those individually sold books really should be current versions since diagnoses and available drugs change. I checked amazon and they are $10+ each cheaper than through majors. The...

  22. Anyone with ADHD/ADD in nursing school? Help

    eLeVatioN replied to BrittSmith's topic in Health, Stress Management

    Planned every minute of every day. Filled a blank white page, landscape orientation, with a handwritten chart of time blocks of each day of the week. Established a routine. If I didn't wake up at the...

  23. NCTC ADN Fall 2014

    eLeVatioN replied to Shine_On's topic in Texas Nursing

    Ok, I see now. Well fortunately for me, though I messed up and did not order the unbundled required books, I still have versions of those ones from the LVN program. Hoping they will still be relevant...

  25. NCTC ADN Fall 2014

    eLeVatioN replied to Shine_On's topic in Texas Nursing

    The book site would not let me order more than one of each of those books listed as "choice," but I will check with the school Monday to see for sure if those are needed for transition students....
