  1. Neuro or General ICU?

    shasbus posted a topic in Critical Care

    All things being fairly equal, which ICU would you consider good for starting my critical care experience in: Neuro or General ICU? I'm transitioning from MedSurg to ICU and would love some advice on...

    shasbus replied to jmarg4's topic in School, College Programs

    I considered Lone Star College as my backup actually. Yes, their NCLEX pass rate isnt as high as I want it to be. But I have 2 things to say about this. First, the pass rate actually varies from...

    shasbus replied to jmarg4's topic in School, College Programs

    Dont be scared and have a backup plan. IMHO -If someone doesnt get into BSN program right away, then it's better to get ADN and then RN-BSN than waiting. But every situation is

  5. UTHSC Nursing Spring 2016

    shasbus replied to jmarg4's topic in School, College Programs

    Make sure u take HESI with "Critical Thinking"section bc most nursing programs now require it. Also, 28 on FB may not reflect those who were accepted during last cycle of applications. Some...

  7. UTMB Spring 2016

    shasbus replied to JakkiK's topic in School, College Programs

    I got an acceptance email from UT-Health saying that the profile will change later. As far as waitlist for Spring 2016 goes, my logical assumption is thats the pool of people to draw from. How they...

    shasbus replied to jmarg4's topic in School, College Programs

    Perhaps there is going to be an official FB page made by the school. UTMB did it after they completed all acceptances. I'd wait a

    shasbus replied to jmarg4's topic in School, College Programs

    @ckcox WOW. Thats a lot of info. Thanks for compiling. I agree that it may not make sense. But it makes no sense because the info is incomplete. We do not know: (1) where those applicants went to...

  16. UTHSC Nursing Spring 2016

    shasbus replied to jmarg4's topic in School, College Programs

    Wow. Why is everyone stressing out so much? Not to be critical, but if you can't handle the stress of waiting to get into nursing school how will you deal with many stresses of being a nurse? Like...

    shasbus replied to jmarg4's topic in School, College Programs

    I know many of us are stressed out right now about admissions. I just wanted to say that what helped me in making this process a lot LESS stressfull is having a plan B, and even Plans C, D and E, if...

  18. UTMB Spring 2016

    shasbus replied to JakkiK's topic in School, College Programs

    I think the school is fairly well organized but I am biased cuz I got accepted back in July. But I also feared that my old bachelors with 3.4 GPA was going to drag down the overall GPA. I have 4.0 on...

  21. UTHSC Nursing Spring 2016

    shasbus replied to jmarg4's topic in School, College Programs

    I looked at a previous thread for UTHSC (Spring 2014) and found that people started getting acceptance emails mid-October. So, hopefully we do not have too long to wait! Also, I saw that someone...

  24. UTMB Spring 2016

    shasbus replied to JakkiK's topic in School, College Programs

    maybe it means that if people who get accepted to another school for Spring 2016 decide to go there instead of UTMB then they will pick someone from the priority wait list?
