  1. Making a choice of Schools

    Mr. Beef posted a topic in Texas Nursing

    Hi everybody, I just want some feedback about the various Nursing Schools in North Texas, like UT Arlington, Baylor (Downtown Dallas), Brookhaven and El Centro. I've done some research into the four...

  2. Just starting out

    Mr. Beef replied to curlysue82's topic in Texas Nursing

    I would say you should start applying as soon as you are available and have completed the pre-req's for the school(s) you want to attend. Depending on the program you could take all your Pre-Req's at...

  3. How do schools handle OB/GYN for male Nursing Students?

    Mr. Beef posted a topic in Male Nursing Students

    Hi Everybody, I was just wondering something, and that is, how do schools handle OB/GYN rotations for Nursing students that are male? OB/GYN is something that makes me rather uncomfortable. I don't...

  4. Taking 1 Class At A Time

    Mr. Beef replied to RNwntaB's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    If I could, I would take my Pre-req's one class at a time, but with only 4 of them for most of the ADN schools around me, I figure I can handle 2 at a time and get them done in two semesters and take...

  5. Making a choice of Schools

    Mr. Beef replied to Mr. Beef's topic in Texas Nursing

    It never crossed my mind to go to TWU. I guess that something to look into. Thanks, Mr.

  6. Making a choice of Schools

    Mr. Beef replied to Mr. Beef's topic in Texas Nursing

    Sounds like generic writing. I can do that in my sleep. I scored a 5 (out of a possible 5) on the TASP writing portion and I know that was not my best work. In twenty minutes I could write on just...

  7. Making a choice of Schools

    Mr. Beef replied to Mr. Beef's topic in Texas Nursing

    I know about the whole hospitals paying for your education thing because I have a friend in Houston who did that same thing many years ago. I'm expecting to either go into debt for a BSN or minimize...

  8. Making a choice of Schools

    Mr. Beef replied to Mr. Beef's topic in Texas Nursing

    Congradualtions on your passing the NCLEX, and doing something that I can only dream about. Geez, if I'm competing with at least 799 other people I guess I really need to make myself stand out. I...

  9. Making a choice of Schools

    Mr. Beef replied to Mr. Beef's topic in Texas Nursing

    As long as I don't have to get up at some really early time of day just to take it, then I can probably make a decent score on it. For the The SAT and TASP I had to get up really early (7:00am) and I...

  10. Making a choice of Schools

    Mr. Beef replied to Mr. Beef's topic in Texas Nursing

    What kind of writing sample, creative or technical? If it's Creative, then I shouuld have no trouble because I took Creative Writing in the Spring of this year and got an A in it. If it's Technical,...

  11. Making a choice of Schools

    Mr. Beef replied to Mr. Beef's topic in Texas Nursing

    "Point earner" what does that mean? Is it like the way Brookhaven does it by assigning points based on standardized tests and GPA. Some It seems like most places go by Pre-Req's rather than anything...

  12. confused: Surgical tech or med-surg

    Mr. Beef replied to godsgurl's topic in Nursing Career

    Here's a link to one of the Colleges in my area that has a Surgical Technican degree program: http:// http://www.elcentrocollege.edu/Programs/HealthLegalstudies/SurgTech/stdescribe.htm It should...

  13. Making a choice of Schools

    Mr. Beef replied to Mr. Beef's topic in Texas Nursing

    Considering that Denton is a 35-40 minute drive up I-35E another 30 minutes is a lot further than I want to go. Thanks for the help. Have a chocolate chip cookie, and coffee. Thanks, Mr.

  14. Making a choice of Schools

    Mr. Beef replied to Mr. Beef's topic in Texas Nursing

    I've got it down to either El Centro or Brookhaven. El Centro has the lead because it's a lot easier to get into (pre-req wise) than Brookhaven, but Brookhaven is closer, and the college credits I...

  15. Making a choice of Schools

    Mr. Beef replied to Mr. Beef's topic in Texas Nursing

    I'm mostly sticking with Dallas County because I can get affordable In-County tuition at the Community Colleges, and it's not a commute like some of the others in the tri-county area. Ellis County...

  16. Need professional opinions on a pharm test question

    Mr. Beef replied to dano's topic in General Nursing

    I don't have any links to support my theory, but I must agree with you and I would have said Aleve as well. Half of the answers were not NSAID's, and I thnk Motrin is not an NSAID or is one of the...

  17. Making a choice of Schools

    Mr. Beef replied to Mr. Beef's topic in Texas Nursing

    Mountain View is clear on the other side of town from me, but might be worth the bus ride from my house. If I'm in one of the new classes in 2007 or 2008, then it might be one of the best kept secrets...

  18. Speech class jitters!!!!

    Mr. Beef replied to scoley's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I took Speech in a Summer semester way back in 1996 or 1997, and on one hand I was really scared of having to take the class, but on the other I'm glad I took it. The scared part came from the fact...

  19. Making a choice of Schools

    Mr. Beef replied to Mr. Beef's topic in Texas Nursing

    That's one of the things that I don't like, competition. I'm just not a competitive person by nature, and sometimes I wonder if it is worth it going into something as competitive as Nursing School....

  20. Making a choice of Schools

    Mr. Beef replied to Mr. Beef's topic in Texas Nursing

    That's something they did not mention on the web site. Thank you for sharing that little tidbit of information. My GPA for future reference is about 3.14. It's been a while since I looked at it, but...

  21. Making a choice of Schools

    Mr. Beef replied to Mr. Beef's topic in Texas Nursing

    I'm expecting a challenge where ever I go. The employment thing is also a nice thing to know as well. I'm not looking at moving outside the state for employment because Dallas has been my home for 28...

    Mr. Beef posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Hi Everyone! I have been lurking and occasionally posting over the past few months and have found this web site to be one of the better ones for someone intrested in the medical field to come to....

  23. What to do about someone squishing your dreams.

    Mr. Beef replied to Mr. Beef's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I've made some pretty bad decisions in the past and I am wondering if I am making the right one right now. My main concern is the whole admissions thing. I was thinking of maybe doing an LVN course...

  24. What to do about someone squishing your dreams.

    Mr. Beef replied to Mr. Beef's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    The mental illness is a factor because they say that you have to be of sound mind and body to do the job according to the Texas BNE. I have been symptom free for about six months now and am trying to...

  25. TCC Prereqs/core classes

    Mr. Beef replied to amlaboy's topic in Texas Nursing

    Mary, I know things might be quite scary right now. The accuplacer can be quite daunting, but just work at things you know and try to work on things you don't know. The Math thing should be no big...
