  1. 4 years in a CC??!

    its.jess.duh replied to hereyee's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I am in a BSN program and it took 2 years for pre-reqs and 2 years for the nursing portion. If you go full time for each semester, a BSN should only take 4 years. That's not to say that everyone does...

  2. Where you go is where you work?

    its.jess.duh replied to ssharifi94's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    I think that is only case because you get comfortable when you are in school with the surroundings, and you are likely to be networking in your community when you are in clinicals. Also, some...

  3. Commute to another CC to gain residency points?

    its.jess.duh replied to SageFemmeReveur's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I say do it. Yes it is very inconvenient, but if you don't and then you do not get in, you are going to be kicking yourself in the rear. Another thought though: can you take an online class with that...

  4. 4 years in a CC??!

    its.jess.duh replied to hereyee's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I was out of my CC in two years, but I did take 1 course each summer so that I would finish in time to turn in nursing school applications. Also, there were at least two semesters that I was doubled...

  5. Cook Childrens 2014 Residency

    its.jess.duh replied to hdoty's topic in Texas Nursing

    I am in nursing school now getting my BSN, and I am going to apply for the Cook's residency next year. I see everyone mentioned how the interview questions were really tough and different from other...

  6. My 2nd day of class

    its.jess.duh replied to Snowangel7390's topic in General Students

    YES! I am experiencing this too. This is my first semester of nursing school, and I think everyone is just so excited to learn as much as possible that they are getting ahead of themselves with all...

  7. Can I go to community college and transfer into a BSN program?

    its.jess.duh replied to womanofchoice's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You absolutely can! I went this route and saved a ton of money. You just have to figure out your prospective BSN schools and find out what their requirements are because every school is different. You...

  8. How many people are in your nursing class?

    its.jess.duh replied to Kskar91's topic in General Students

    I am starting later this month, but we have 92 in our incoming BSN class. We also have a 99% graduation rate for our school, so hopefully we won't lose very

  10. Opinion on your uniforms?

    its.jess.duh replied to green34's topic in General Students

    Ours are all red, top and bottom, thank goodness because scrubs with different color top and bottom drive me nuts! I guess its just a personal preference/OCD thing. They have some we can buy through...

  11. Three more semesters, but what classes to Register for?

    its.jess.duh replied to catsoutlook's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    My school also combines A&P and I had no problem with applying to nursing programs. It is very common for that to happen with A&P so I would be shocked if a school didn't recognize that. Just...

  13. Texas Tech Traditional BSN 2013

    its.jess.duh replied to Elove10's topic in Texas Nursing

    They just sent out emails a day or two ago with more orientation information so maybe check your spam folder. But Abilene's orientation is 8am-5pm, I would assume everyone's is the same or pretty...

  14. Texas Tech BSN 2 Fall 2013

    its.jess.duh replied to Ladybug3's topic in Texas Nursing

    I wasn't aware they had townhomes but I don't really know that much about them. I did have a friend that lived there in the apartments for a few years and they had no problems with it, and its in a...

  15. Nursing pre-reqs online? Is it a good idea?

    its.jess.duh replied to Nasim95's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I took almost all of my pre-reqs online, and I loved it. Personally, I had a problem with actually waking up and going to class (I'm a night owl) so I found it sooooo convenient being able to do...

  16. Graduating high school early

    its.jess.duh replied to WannabeNurse(:'s topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Very good point because colleges in Texas usually have 4 digit course numbers. The only 3 digit classes we have are remedial and do not count toward degree programs. Very important that those don't...

  17. Texas Tech BSN 2 Fall 2013

    its.jess.duh replied to Ladybug3's topic in Texas Nursing

    I am accepted into the traditional BSN program in Abilene! I am from here, but just wanted to tell you about the Grove Apartments. A lot of students from colleges in Abilene stay

  18. Texas Tech Traditional BSN 2013

    its.jess.duh replied to Elove10's topic in Texas Nursing

    I have heard several people on a.n. talking about their orientations, and they talk about bringing parents or spouses. Does anyone know if that is happening at our orientation? Also, somewhere I read...

  19. Chemistry Question - Is it necessary?

    its.jess.duh replied to Trenata's topic in General Students

    I took basic chemistry, and it was just that-basic! It wasn't anything new from the chemistry I took in high school. While I haven't actually started nursing school yet, I feel like everything they...

  20. Seriously what are the chances of getting in?

    its.jess.duh replied to angellove6776's topic in General Students

    You're welcome. Its called an Academic Fresh Start and it only applies to classes that have been 10+ years ago. Good

  21. Seriously what are the chances of getting in?

    its.jess.duh replied to angellove6776's topic in General Students

    I would definitely apply and just see what happens. I was in a similar situation and had great grades at the current school but not so good grades at the previous school I attended for 1 semester. My...

  22. Please help

    its.jess.duh replied to Jamjams's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    There is a way for them to know where you have attended college, and if they find out that you didn't send in all your transcripts your application will be dismissed either because it was deemed...
