2. Are your fellow classmates really serious about nursing?

   J-9TylerTexas replied to jaysma's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Hehe, well, we hear ya, but, you gotta have high GPAs to get INTO nursing school in the first place due to the competition of the programs. That means getting A's when possible. When the GPA to get IN is no lower than 3.6 or 3.4... not getting thos...

3. What's the weirdest baby name?

   J-9TylerTexas replied to teresab_2000's topic in Ob/Gyn

   hehe, honestly I love the unique names... I don't like the "regular" set of names, John, Jane, etc. Some of the names you guys are listing I'd NAME a baby, well, not the whacky ones that are conglomorates of verbs or odd words and such, but like Cin...

4. How do you develop a thick skin?

   J-9TylerTexas replied to belabelisa's topic in General Students

   Haha, lemme preface this by saying I'm not *abused* but... my husband yells and complains like a grumpy old son of a gun. That and I moved from up north to the Wild West in '99 I feel like I've been in boot camp for 5 years. Not a dang thing anyone...

5. Taking A&P I and II at separate schools?

   J-9TylerTexas replied to rhp123's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Hrm. I don't know specifically about the accelerated programs, but I think the problem you'd run into is making sure that the same things covered in your A&P 1 are equivalent to another states/schools A&P 1. When they check to make sure they...

6. When applying to nursing schools...Do your reasearch

   J-9TylerTexas replied to NurseBunky's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Oohh *nods* thing is... I tried to research local programs or the colleges in general and I could not find anywhere that published any sort of ranking or statistics. I just wanted to ensure that they have a decent reputation! I mean, it's so subje...

7. Net testing

   J-9TylerTexas replied to lee99's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I actually got the study guide for this yesterday. My CC had the book in their bookstore, had to ask the girl to find it for me because it's this wee lil book. Otherwise here is the website if you'd rather order it... http://www.eriworld.com The r...

8. A&P during summer session

   J-9TylerTexas posted a topic in Pre-Nursing

   Hiyah The summer sessions are 8 weeks long, and I can devote all the time needed daily for the most part (I'm a stay at home mom). I have a 4 year old and a 13 year old, but I also have a husband and mother-in-law that are on deck and for the mo...

9. Are your fellow classmates really serious about nursing?

   J-9TylerTexas replied to jaysma's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Hmm... I'm definitely going into nursing for the money! Shoot, if I didn't want more money for my family I'd sit home and watch TV all day instead. However, healthcare, medicine, nursing in general is all I've really ever been interesting in *doi...

11. Is it possible....??

    J-9TylerTexas replied to Carebear77's topic in Pre-Nursing

    Totally depends on what else you have going in life, work? other commitments etc? It's so dependant on what you think you can do. They say figure roughly three hours study time per hour of class time. Not sure if I can say that's accurate, I think...

12. UT Tyler - Longview Extension

    J-9TylerTexas replied to Dawdett's topic in Texas

    Oh, btw, I had actually written to the nursing school advisor for UT Tyler last week and asked what the minimum GPA was for applicants most often accepted, she said 3.4 and that competition was extreme for the Tyler campus, but much like the other po...

13. UT Tyler - Longview Extension

    J-9TylerTexas replied to Dawdett's topic in Texas

    Amber, I've lived all over the country, originally from Pennsylvania. I even lived in Arizona (Phoenix) for several years. I suppose it really depends on what you are used to, but overall I've found this area to be a depressed area, low on SES...

14. Are your fellow classmates really serious about nursing?

    J-9TylerTexas replied to jaysma's topic in Pre-Nursing

    Hiyah, I know exactly what you guys mean, but I have a feeling what I'm seeing is just kids basically not sure what they want to do with life. They may drift off for awhile then come back and be more serious, in some cases. Otoh, a gal I talk to (...

15. Waste of Talent

    J-9TylerTexas replied to ksadler97's topic in Texas

    Some areas must be hurting 'cause there's an ad in our local paper that they are paying $32.00 an hour for RNs.. and I see constant ads such as that. J-9
