  1. Houston GN Residency Thread (Summer 2017 Cohort!)

    N. Maren replied to N. Maren's topic in Texas Nursing

    N. Maren replied to N. Maren's topic in Texas Nursing

    My first choice was ER and my second choice was neuro IMU. I ended up getting an interview for... mother/baby. Believe me, I was confused

  3. Has anyone heard back from CHI St. Lukes 2017 summer residency program?

    N. Maren replied to RNGIF's topic in Texas Nursing

    Hi! I spoke with someone at the TMC hospital at St. Luke's. They basically had to recalculate all their job openings and, as I was told, "they won't be hiring many" as a result. But they are planning...

  4. Houston GN Residency Thread (Summer 2017 Cohort!)

    N. Maren replied to N. Maren's topic in Texas Nursing

    I was! But I turned them down. I didn't like the unit they gave me... completely ignored both first and second choice

  5. UTHSC Summer 2017

    N. Maren replied to tay_rechea's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Attention incoming students I no longer need my black bag (the one they make you buy) and have left it on campus in case anyone wants it. I've put it it in the little alcove across from locker 70,...

  6. Memorial Hermann GN Residency Summer 2017

    N. Maren replied to futurenurseynurse's topic in Texas Nursing

    I encourage y'all not to get anxious by seeing the turnover times for other people! All units do them differently. Mine told me 5-6 business

  11. HESI vs. TEAS

    N. Maren replied to ItsThatJenGirl's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Well, I was replying with regards to ItsThatJenGirl's situation of not having to take the science portions on the HESI, but yes I think I would prefer the HESI. To me, the science on the HESI felt a...

  12. HESI vs. TEAS

    N. Maren replied to ItsThatJenGirl's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    The math, grammar, and reading on the HESI is like the usual stuff that you've seen in high school standardized tests. There won't be anything that's weirdly HESI-specific for those sections that you...

  13. UTHSC Summer 2017

    N. Maren replied to tay_rechea's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Hey guys, your friendly upperclassman here. Back when we started, someone posted up a list of things to do when starting nursing school. I figured i would paste it here! (A few things might be...

    N. Maren replied to RNGIF's topic in Texas Nursing

    They actually contacted me today :)! They called to say that they are matching me to a unit and will give me a formal offer next week or so

  18. To become or to not become a RN that is the question.

    N. Maren replied to NYCtrader's topic in General Students

    Hi there! I completed a biology degree and worked in the field a bit before considering nursing so I can kind of relate! I ended up pursuing an accelerated BSN program (15 month) and am at the tail...

  20. Biology degree to BSN

    N. Maren replied to biotaq's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Hi there! I was more or less in your same exact situation! I attained a bio degree, had to stop graduate school midway, then switched to nursing. Let me give you some advice real quick though: The bio...

  21. Buying a second textbook to supplement course material

    N. Maren replied to PrereqTaker89's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Absolutely! We had one particular class that had multiple professors and they were completely divided on how useful their textbook actually was (it was utter garbage). Having another book that...

  22. Houston GN Residency Thread (Summer 2017 Cohort!)

    N. Maren replied to N. Maren's topic in Texas Nursing

    That's wonderful news! Yes, their process seems to have a bit of mystery surrounding it... I guess they will have multiple "interview events" then. The interview day was lovely! Everyone was extremely...

  23. Houston GN Residency Thread (Summer 2017 Cohort!)

    N. Maren replied to N. Maren's topic in Texas Nursing

    N. Maren replied to chasethepup's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Hello! A close friend of mine actually went down a path similar to yours. Let me share her story a little bit. My friend's older sister was a nurse, so her parents wanted her to be better and become a...
