    Beginning15 replied to Beginning15's topic in Texas Nursing

    Hey Tiffzors, I think it's a choice of 1 out of the 3. My friend says he just chose the cheapest one. I think the difference is the stethoscopes. I planned on the clinical scrubs, one of the lab...

    Beginning15 replied to md0627's topic in Texas Nursing

    FutureRN - I completely agree with that. In the end, it is up to the student to be prepared for the NCLEX and I have seen the Kaplan courses. It seems that they are well worth it. I just wasn't sure...

    Beginning15 replied to md0627's topic in Texas Nursing

    Hi - has anyone applied anywhere else? I applied to San Jac and they keep pushing back the date for emails. It's going on 10 weeks now and no word. Do you know anyone who attended Alvin and if so,...

    Beginning15 replied to humboldt13's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I think I would rather have what you have. A higher GPA than HESI score. Great job! I'm sure you'll get in with that. Have you been to one of the mandatory ADN applicant meetings at ACC

    Beginning15 replied to md0627's topic in Texas Nursing

    Hi, I scored a 96 on my HESI and my GPA is 3.17. I'm worried that GPA won't be good enough to get in accepted. I heard Fall 2014 was extremely competitive. I looked at HBU, too, but didn't think I...

    My mother-in-law has lasting problems from bunion surgery several years ago. Anyone tried non-surgical treatment? I may be too far gone to be a candidate. Really need to get the surgery done in the...
