If it's definite fatigue and weakness, that is something you should tell your PCP about. Regarding the b6, maybe I would tell your PCP about that, too. You want to make absolutely sure you're taking the right amount (not too much) with the INH, espe...

How long have you been taking the INH? If you could help it, I would take it to completion. We've had small clusters of TB in our area (that is potentially drug-resistant, due to non-compliance/incomplete therapy of a few carriers), and it is not so...

I got mine at Stein Mart for around $25. I like the larger, "men's style" face, and found a sensible Anne Klein watch that still looks great after a few years. I do go over it with an alcohol wipe or clorox wipe, and it doesn't seem to hurt it. It's...

I just completed my first term as a BSN student. I'm working over the summer as a research assistant to fill in the learning gap during the 3 month break. We are working on creating a database for a certain infectious disease. My job is to peruse ...

I have an MDF MD One stethoscope. It was around $60. For health assessment, it was way more than enough. I had erroneously purchased an MDF Sprague-rappaport, but the double tubing rubbed together and was too distracting for my untrained ear. MDF ...

Also, keep a folder for your certifications and stuff like that. CPR (a photocopy), receipts from getting your fingerprint and background check, drug screenings, etc... You just never know! And put a alarm-memo in your phone when it comes time to r...

Make some HEAVY documentation of all your vaccination records. As a 28 year old, it was a pain to try and find all of my records. I was literally in my parent's attic looking for a crumpled, yellow piece of paper with a baby bear on it to prove th...

I also wanted to add that core classes and nursing prerequisite classes are different. You may still need to take Chemistry, micro, A&P I&II, statistics, and all that good stuff, so keep that in mind when developing a degree plan if you go t...

I can only tell you how it worked for me: I got an associates degree in General Studies at a junior college. This was important for two reasons: A general (sometimes called universal) studies degree is literally a degree meant to transfer to a univ...

I also want to add that when I transferred to a university, many of the classes that I had failed at 18 (mostly music theory, as I was a music major) in junior college did not transfer or apply to my general studies degree. So I graduated with a "deg...

I too was the typical, irresponsible teenager that dropped out of college without actually withdrawing. You are not alone. I took a few years off, did the whole "self discovery," and returned in my later twenties. I decided to get an Associates i...

My guess is that she will change her mind when SHE becomes an RN. But not because she was proven wrong...but because SHE is an RN, now. And then it will be something to the tune of: "LVNs think they have it hard? HA! Not as hard as meeeeee! But ...

I agree with self preservation. I do not agree with the comparison, or that the other commentors are on a high horse for thinking that he shouldn't get special "honesty" treatment. Or sympathy. The OP doesn't need sympathy. Just a beer and a push ...

Nice try, but false equivalence. And that's just dramatic. The OP was confusing an honest excuse with a valid excuse. The two are not the same. No one has argued about self-preservation. Many of us WOULD have given a "better" excuse. Why? Because ye...

Unfortunately, "truth" is not synonymous with"valid." Missing an alarm is not a valid excuse, even if it is the truth. Better to find that out now, than in a hospital setting, where patients and staff actually depend on you. Rotten luck, though :-...

A courtesy email explaining the delay and what to expect would be nice. Historically, (according to the message boards of UT students on here) the delay was never this long.

"Hopefully" this week? I was "hopeful" last week. At the 6 week marker. Now I just want an answer so I can plan my life and not keep my boss waiting to see if he needs to hire someone else. Hahah...I think a lot of my stress stems from my employer...

I just don't know how much more Halloween candy I can eat, waiting for this dumb email. I can't even force myself to leave the house!

That's it. I'm done. Don't care anymore. You guys can have it.

I wonder if the staff ever looks at these message boards. Surely the suffering of pre-nursing students provides some good entertainment year after year!

Maybe they wait until the end of the day, so it doesn't give applicants time to call them back immediately for questions about it.

Oh, this is torturous! I wonder what's delaying the process... I've even got everyone in my house on pins and needles. I hate it when I get a phone notification, and it's not the email I'm looking for. Let's just hope they don't keep us hanging ov...

I'm getting pretty anxious. I'm also in the prereq courses at UT, and I can't even focus to study anything. I've been worthless all week because of the anxiety of not knowing. Accepted or not, I'm ready to start planning!

Well that explains the influx of whiplash from our chaired patients.

Hi! I'm applying for Spring '14, and am currently finishing my last nursing prereq course at TJC. I'll be taking the TEAS test on 8/24. I'm getting really nervous! Good luck!
