  2. NCTC ADN Fall 2014

    Shine_On replied to Shine_On's topic in Texas Nursing

    Makes sense. I was afraid they wouldn't work. One more thing to add to my growing list of things I need. I'm actually trying to make a list right now. Between the things I needs and the kids school...

    Shine_On replied to Nursingqueen2b's topic in Texas Nursing

    Congrats & I wish everyone the best of luck in the program & in their future RN careers. I think I have decided to go with the program at NCTC. They have a much smaller class size, which I...

    Shine_On replied to Shine_On's topic in Texas Nursing

    Thank you everyone for your support and opinions. I have chosen to stay with my NCTC decision. Both schools are good, but NCTC, I think, with the smaller class size will be a better fit for me and...

  6. NCTC ADN Fall 2014

    Shine_On replied to Shine_On's topic in Texas Nursing

    Thanks for your input jls0459, especially since you are in the program. That was my thoughts exactly on the smaller class size & why I am leaning so strongly towards NCTC. I do believe they are...

    Shine_On replied to Shine_On's topic in Texas Nursing

    I just found out that I got accepted at Grayson County as well. I'm pretty sure I am going to stay with my NCTC decision mainly due to the smaller class size. Grayson looks to be a good school with a...

    Shine_On replied to Shine_On's topic in Texas Nursing

    Mine at UT is 23...& I didn't start early so I might edge you out on that 'oldest'! haha. I wouldn't trade it, my life experience makes me who I am. It's just a number anyways, I keep forgetting...

    Shine_On replied to Shine_On's topic in Texas Nursing

    SAM0609, I am hoping to carpool too. I live in The Colony so not far from Lewisville. I remember reading last fall that there was a group that met at the Corinth campus, perhaps we could consider that...

    Shine_On replied to Shine_On's topic in Texas Nursing

    For anyone who already bought scrubs...the landau true red, are they the awful unisex ones with almost no pockets? I also saw some women's plain landau scrubs in true red that weren't as bad & had...

    Shine_On replied to Shine_On's topic in Texas Nursing

    You guys are amazing. Great ideas, I was on the cleaning, organizing, cleaning out closets & getting as much done for the kids for school as I could...but I hadn't thought about cards,...

    Shine_On replied to Shine_On's topic in Texas Nursing

    Love that we have a mentor, I saw others mention a mentor in the thread from last fall but I didn't know that was something they do in the program. That's great....then I won't worry about setting...

    Shine_On replied to Nursingqueen2b's topic in Texas Nursing

    I'm glad you're not stressing yourself out over the summer. I finally had to back off a while back too, a year ago going trying to push to finish my prereqs was stressing me & my kids just too...

    Shine_On replied to Shine_On's topic in Texas Nursing

    I'm planning on trying to work some...PRN as a CNA or PCT. Also my guess is setting up a Facebook page for our class is for us to do...I can tackle it over the weekend but I'm not super Facebook savvy...

    Shine_On replied to Shine_On's topic in Texas Nursing

    Trans2RN, sorry no experience with a declatory order but from my understanding we get the blue card ourselves from the BON, perhaps when we do our background? But I'm not sure. Sorry. I'm not at all...

  17. NCTC ADN Fall 2014

    Shine_On replied to Shine_On's topic in Texas Nursing

    From my understanding, we have to take care of our own background, fingerprinting, etc. I guess we won't know about books, scrubs, etc until orientation. I would love info earlier so I can start...

    Shine_On replied to Shine_On's topic in Texas Nursing

    From what I've read from years past, a 77 will easily get you in for the transition. That test was brutal! I guess that gives us a taste of what we have to look forward to! Now we stalk the website!...

    Shine_On replied to Nursingqueen2b's topic in Texas Nursing

    Cisfourcasey, that's exactly where I'm sitting ...26 points because I lost two for not living in the service area. I'm going to be sad if I miss the cutoff by ONE point! Did you apply at Collin since...

    Shine_On replied to Nursingqueen2b's topic in Texas Nursing

    An 84 without studying and taking 15 hours plus the CNA & Phlebotomy!! oh my! You could probably make an A in your sleep even in a faster paced summer class. Sometimes the fast pace is good,...

  22. NCTC ADN Fall 2014

    Shine_On replied to Shine_On's topic in Texas Nursing

    That's exactly what I have been reading too SAM0609. I think 75 & above is probably good. Last semester was 74 (for the generic program) I think & I heard that was unusually high. Then you...

    Shine_On replied to Shine_On's topic in Texas Nursing

    TWishes you did everything I should have! I love yoga but was too distracted to even think about it! I couldn't sleep so I finally got out of bed around 5:30/6:00 and started looking over my study...

    Shine_On replied to Shine_On's topic in Texas Nursing

    You will do fine. Just relax! I don't think I have slept in 2 days at least! I kept thinking of things I wanted to look up or go over! haha, but that's what I always do before important exams. I...

  25. NCTC ADN Fall 2014

    Shine_On replied to Shine_On's topic in Texas Nursing

    I'm doing generic. I think the 79 is excellent. I tried to find some people's scores from years past but no one had posted anything specific that I could find. However, if the cutoff was 74% last fall...
