Saw a nurse pack a surgical wound down to tendon, bone, and muscle with betadine soaked gauze… just the regular betadine in the bottle. I think it’s 10% diluted. I’ve never seen this before. I would’ve thought this would irritate the wound.

Hi So I just graduated from a BSN program. I've been an LVN for 8 years. Im looking at job options. I was offered a job at the LTAC I used to work at...It's a good hospital with high acuity patients and it's in the med center. I've been applying at...

Memorial Hermann Houston will consider 1 year of LVN experience as 1/2 a year of RN experience when calculating pay rate, even if starting in the new grad residency program. Houston Methodist Hospital emailed and had me arrange a time for the teleph...

Hey, does anyone know how it works if you applied to both Fall and Summer Semester? I mean, if you accept a seat for the summer semester, does that negate your application for the fall? Or can you chose which one to accept, assuming you get accepted ...

What's a BON blue card? I haven't seen anywhere on their site where that is mentioned. I imagine they allow for the time it takes, otherwise they would have mentioned it sooner...

Hey, does anyone know how long we have to get our immunization stuff and/or drug test done? I know it says "immediately" for the immunizations, but I have to get a couple of titers done. Or when does registration start?

Did anyone else's "admission status" in myUT go back to the complete green circle after they paid their $200? Mine did. It was a green check. Now I'm worried, like as if it was a dream, too good to be true.

Does anyone know when we start or what the schedule will look like?

I just got accepted. I didn't get an email, nor did I get a transcript eval. I just logged into myUT and saw the green check with "accepted." I clicked on accept and paid the $200. There were tears in my eyes. It's been emotional. My stats are in t...

You're fine. As long as they received it before the deadline (which you confirmed), you're good. They just take their time updating the myUT to do list thing.

Hey TX2015, I completely understand how you're feeling. This whole thing is so obscure, and with so much riding on it--our careers--it's extremely stressful. I applied for the Fall 2014 semester back in Jan 2014. I had no idea what would transfer, e...

So I checked my mail today and opened my transcript eval ( I don't check my mail often). I was panicked when I saw that my eval didn't include any of the classes I've taken this year and left me like 8 hours short of the 40 required to apply. I have...

Does anyone else applying have any nursing experience? Any LVNs? I'm an LVN. I'm just wondering if that helps any with getting considered for admission. Anyone who is in the program already, were there any LVNs or people with other clinical experien...

Proof of TSI is some Texas thing that basically says you meet certain reading, writing, Math standards. If you have taken college courses (and passed them), then you meet the standards. proof of TSI will be on your transcripts. Don't worry about the ...

Hey everyone, I applied for the pace-setter bsn starting in summer 2015. I just got conformation that all my stuff got to the registrar's office before the December 1st deadline. The company that evaluated my international transcript sent the evalua...

I had the same thing and was worried that I'd done something wrong. If you log into the evolve.Elsevier site where hou see the link to your HESI scores there's a little plus sign to the left of it. Click on the plus sign, and the critical thinking s...

I figured I'd post up my stats. HESI Reading comp -90 Grammar -92 Vocab -94 A&P -100 Math -96 Overall -94.4 Critical thinking 830 I have a 4.0 GPA However, I only have 34 of the required 40 hours of prereques. I'm hoping my humanities from lones...

This is a good point. I really dislike the "scramble" that it seems to be for everyone to get into this program. I rememberthe day I went to speak to the student affairs desk, there was a chick there asking why she hadn't been accepted into the progr...

Call student affairs at like 8am in the morning 713 500 2108. That's who FINALLY was able to tell me that all my transcripts were received. As for finding out if anyone is going to evaluate them? hahahaha!

I gave up emailing the registrar/admissions address given on my myUTH asking if they received my transcripts and then asking who I should ask to find out if they were received. They just kept sending back the same one line answer. It was even more e...

Chose it as my designated school. I signed up for the hesi through the link on the UT page, used their (whatever its called) number.
