  1. On Call Vs. Commute

    kpalo posted a topic in General Nursing

    Hello all, Which would you rather do if benefits and pay were the exact same? Both are 4 days per week (OR). Job 1) Commute only 16 mins in the morning, but 40mins to 60mins for the way home. No call....

  2. On Call Vs. Commute

    kpalo replied to kpalo's topic in General Nursing

    Yeah, it's a lot of call. It's not level 1 trauma call at least (I've been there and done that kind of OR call, never again). It's strictly eye surgery. They say they go 3 weekends in a row without...

  3. On Call Vs. Commute

    kpalo replied to kpalo's topic in General Nursing

    As much as I don't care for call, I'm leaning towards Job 2. I have anxiety when driving in bad weather. Especially in the dark with fog or slick roads early in the morning. The positions are located...

    kpalo posted a topic in School, College Programs

    Hello, I just wanted to start a thread for those of us applying for the LVN or RN programs at Temple College for 2015. We can share information, discuss any concerns, talk about the HESI exam, getting...

  5. Has anyone taken the Hesi entrance exam with Temple College?Tips? Advice?

    kpalo replied to lovenurses2016's topic in HESI Entrance, Exit Exam

    Can I ask why you are going for LVN and not the ADN program? If you are this prepared (on allnurses and studying for the HESI already) I think you should consider both programs. As for prepping for...

    I can't speak for what it will be like next year, but this year: 8:00 first semester and 6:45 second

    kpalo replied to kpalo's topic in School, College Programs

    They split the class into A group and B group. They are essentially the same except one group will either get out early on Wednesday while the other gets out early on Thursday. I was B group. The...

    kpalo replied to kpalo's topic in School, College Programs

    They raised the minimum score to 80 for each three areas on the HESI for ADN 2016. The program is frontloaded during the first 8 weeks, you will feel super busy. The second 8 weeks of the first...

    I will go up there in the morning and check on the packets. Do we wear our uniform or regular clothes on Monday? I thought it was regular, but just double

    kpalo replied to kpalo's topic in School, College Programs

    You should be fine to apply for next year (2016). They take applications for the ADN in the spring. They do a point system when determining who gets in to the program. You may not get the 1 point for...

    kpalo replied to kpalo's topic in School, College Programs

    Did you guys get the e-mail about the nurse pack? Possibly silly question: I know it is supposed to be mailed to the nursing department, so on the form where it asks for address do we put the the...

    No, I haven't received my fastpass yet. I am going to visit my parents in Oklahoma for a couple of weeks and wish I could go ahead and do the fingerprints without the fastpass before I leave, but I'm...

    I am going on a trip next week and I won't even be home to check my mailbox obsessively. When we all get to orientation, I will be asking around for my allnurses.com friends! Stay positive,

    kpalo replied to kpalo's topic in School, College Programs

    I feel the same way. I have a previous Bachelor's degree in Counseling. I wish that I could tell them that I turned down two counseling graduate programs in order to pursue nursing here. If you find...

    kpalo replied to kpalo's topic in School, College Programs

    I am wondering if it would be a good idea to buy a tablet/iPad? Do many of the nursing students use tablets at TC? Also, do they actually buy textbooks or are the e-textbooks more popular?

    kpalo replied to kpalo's topic in School, College Programs

    I made an "A" in A&P. I had avoided as many science classes as possible when I got my Bachelor's in Counseling. Studying did take a good chunk of my time because I was starting from scratch. I...
