    UTHSCSA Fall 2018

    ItsThatJenGirl replied to Gloriad13's topic in School, College Programs

    I think they give you the latest day possible. Like, they might be done sooner, but for sure by April, if that makes sense. We were told on August 30th (our app deadline was August 1) that it would be...

    ItsThatJenGirl replied to Lishay92's topic in School, College Programs

    These are the ones you need: Immunization Information - Student Health Center - UT Health Science Center-San Antonio Regarding the Hep B - I *think* you have to just get it - all the others say you...

    Figuring out my third ND

    ItsThatJenGirl replied to Teacher17's topic in General Students

    ND's aren't just things the patient is experiencing, but possible complications, too - right? (I'm new to this). So could you identify depression (or maybe something like disturbances in regulation of...

    Two sciences at once??

    ItsThatJenGirl replied to Bketchens's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I took two sciences with two other "fluffier" classes for a year. It was fine. Just stay on top of your stuff. I did A&P with

    Why is nursing school so strict?

    ItsThatJenGirl replied to lifeisgood00's topic in General Students

    Nursing has struggled for a long time to be seen as a profession, rather than a job. Part of being a profession is holding yourself and your peers to a higher standard. I don't know what your school...

    Nurse Bullying. Have you experienced it?

    ItsThatJenGirl replied to Alexx_xox's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I've been treated pretty badly by a few people on this website, but I wouldn't say it's bullying. Did I get my feelings hurt? Yep, but it didn't negatively impact my schooling, life or career. I...

    Fired for Falsifying Documents. What to expect

    ItsThatJenGirl replied to LPNewbie's topic in General Nursing

    Do you know if you were reported to the BON for the previous med errors that you were fired for? That would by my main concern regarding your license. I'm not sure there is much you can do but wait to...

    No EHR access during clinicals

    ItsThatJenGirl replied to DaliHerder's topic in General Students

    We didn't have access the first two weeks, but my nurse printed out the med list and gave me a copy of the report sheet. Everything just has to be shredded before we leave the hospital. Is there any...

    Help, failed first exam in Med-Surg

    ItsThatJenGirl replied to sandy 45's topic in General Students

    In my program, we are required to read, review powerpoint slides and watch skills videos before coming to class. Most of my classes have quizzes at the beginning of the lecture to test your knowledge...

    ABSN Accepted Students Day - Parents?

    ItsThatJenGirl replied to lo72's topic in General Students

    I know. Some people are more dependent on (or close to) their parents at age 22ish than others. I just don't think it's wrong or shameful to want your parents along. Maybe they are paying and want to...

    ABSN Accepted Students Day - Parents?

    ItsThatJenGirl replied to lo72's topic in General Students

    Generally I agree, but since she hasn't accepted any offers yet, this sounds more like a campus visit session rather than a "meet your cohort" type of thing. Her parents might be integral in helping...

    ABSN Accepted Students Day - Parents?

    ItsThatJenGirl replied to lo72's topic in General Students

    We had a family breakfast after we got our acceptance and lots of people brought their parents. As long as it's not actual orientation, I don't see an

    Which of following patients is at highest risk for fluid overload?

    ItsThatJenGirl replied to disenchanted1's topic in General Students

    I mean, I always start with ABC's. My choice would have been C, but I'm still but a student. Oops, I just saw fluid overload. That'll teach me to read things more carefully. A would be my

    ItsThatJenGirl replied to ItsThatJenGirl's topic in General Students

    Another week in the books! It's weird to think we're almost half way done with this semester. I'm maintaining my A's, but we'll see how much longer I can keep that up. Midterms are looming. I had a...

    A little help choosing a topic?

    ItsThatJenGirl replied to ItsThatJenGirl's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks for the feedback! I do need to narrow it down quite a bit. I'm torn between focusing on community outcomes and consistent post-rape care. The only theory we've touched on is Roy - so I guess...

    A little help choosing a topic?

    ItsThatJenGirl posted a topic in General Nursing

    I have the opportunity to apply for an undergraduate research project of my own. I *think* I have it narrowed down to two topics and kind of wanted to talk it out to solidify my idea before I reach...

    UTHSCSA Fall 2018

    ItsThatJenGirl replied to Lishay92's topic in School, College Programs

    You do have to do ATI tests to pass certain courses, but there are practice tests that you literally have all semester to use, and if you fail the test, you get remediation and a second chance. If you...

    UTHSCSA Fall 2018

    ItsThatJenGirl replied to Lishay92's topic in School, College Programs

    UIW is just a smaller program, they don't take as many students as UT Health does. It's a very good school. Last year UT Health started integrating ATI and other tools to help students prepare more....

    ItsThatJenGirl replied to Lishay92's topic in School, College Programs

    I'm not sure how new this information is. If you go here: Texas Board of Nursing - Education Programs and click on RN programs, UT Health's NCLEX pass rate was 98% last

    Bedside medication summaries

    ItsThatJenGirl replied to CaliforniaPoppy's topic in General Students

    I print out the med sheet for my patients, then I sit down with my MedScape app. That tells me what it's used for, and the things I need to look out for (adverse effects tab). MedScape breaks down the...
