  1. Lonestar vs HCC?

    S7ud3n7_Nur53 replied to Nnjohns09's topic in Texas Nursing

    HCC has a pretty bad reputation as they were put on probation a couple years back for poor NCLEX pass

  2. 130k Student debt for Entry MSN worth it?

    S7ud3n7_Nur53 replied to ns90's topic in General Students

    That kind of debt would crush my soul... I would only consider it if I came out of it making a doctor or lawyer's

  3. Posting picture on social media

    S7ud3n7_Nur53 replied to gennn19's topic in General Students

  4. Did they ask for your GPA, yes or no?

    S7ud3n7_Nur53 replied to Bunsbuns's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I am in Houston as well, I'm really not sure about the rest of the state but my peers are also applying to jobs in Dallas and Austin and having trouble there as well. I think with any healthcare...

  5. Did they ask for your GPA, yes or no?

    S7ud3n7_Nur53 replied to Bunsbuns's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I am in Texas and all the new grad programs in my area absolutely care about GPA. I am not graduated yet but my peers who are looking for jobs have not found jobs yet if they have below a 3.2....

  6. Second degree BSN programs in Houston area

    S7ud3n7_Nur53 replied to ICUity's topic in Texas Nursing

    It's full time but I've been managing to work 24 hours a week as a CNA with no issues. I plan to work all summer as a CNA and get an internship my final summer. I think many people in my class have...

  7. Second degree BSN programs in Houston area

    S7ud3n7_Nur53 replied to ICUity's topic in Texas Nursing

    Texas Woman's has a two year program (summers off) in Houston geared towards those who have completed all prerequisites. I would estimate about half of my class has prior

  8. TWU Fall 2017 Nursing Applicants

    S7ud3n7_Nur53 replied to StethoscopesMarilyn's topic in School, College Programs

    The TEAS is really the most important part in the admissions process. https://allnurses.com/pre-nursing-student/twu-fall-2018-1129426-page4.html If you go to this thread, you'll see a response from...

  9. Question for BSN students

    S7ud3n7_Nur53 replied to gpffhdn's topic in General Students

    One sad truth about life is that it isn't always fair. While her lack of punishment was not fair, you must accept that you did your part and wash your hands of this mess. Continue to practice...

  10. What type of nurses work regular hours?

    S7ud3n7_Nur53 replied to Emendoza01's topic in General Students

    Yeah, it definitely seems you need hospital experience (which includes 12 hr shifts and weekends, maybe nights too) before you can do much else. So OP might be a little sad to hear that haha. But yes,...

  11. What type of nurses work regular hours?

    S7ud3n7_Nur53 replied to Emendoza01's topic in General Students

    You are correct, they were not entry level positions. I haven't even started nursing school yet (I start in 2 weeks), these were just some postings I saw while browsing for CNA/Tech positions at some...

  12. What type of nurses work regular hours?

    S7ud3n7_Nur53 replied to Emendoza01's topic in General Students

    I saw some advertised PACU (post-anesthesia care unit) positions that were

  13. iPad Pro for lecture notes and studying?

    S7ud3n7_Nur53 replied to tmccstu2018's topic in General Students

    I love using an iPad for school purposes. Only thing to beware is that flash is not supported on the iPad. So if your school uses web-based ebooks or other flash-based learning tools, it might be more...

  14. Hybrid A&P Class

    S7ud3n7_Nur53 replied to TaylorJackson14's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It was great for me. However it greatly depends on your professors and the structure of the class. My lab professor was awesome and I learned a lot from the in person lab. Also my online lecture...

  15. Money to live on during nursing school? Loans?

    S7ud3n7_Nur53 replied to hello77kitty's topic in General Students

    From your post it sounds like you won't have to worry about rent? If so, then you have the hardest part taken care of. I will be living with a family member and working PRN as a PCA at a hospital in...

  16. UT Health Pacesetter BSN Spring 2018

    S7ud3n7_Nur53 replied to lonestarcd's topic in School, College Programs

    The admissions process behind UT Health is not very transparent. It is not clear to me that they even consider work experience or volunteer hours, and there is no admissions essay. But, the website...

  17. Help! Was job offered at a great hospital as a CNA, so should I postpone nursing school?

    S7ud3n7_Nur53 replied to Ptntcrgvr's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Would working as a CNA for 1 year put you in a more desirable financial situation? If money is not an issue, I would go ahead and start nursing school

  18. CNA as a student - should I?

    S7ud3n7_Nur53 replied to sym92's topic in General Students

    Same here. Many hospitals will consider one clinical nursing school rotation as equivalent to a CNA license. These are un-licensed patient care positions sometimes called "Patient Care Assistants." In...

  19. TWU Spring 2018

    S7ud3n7_Nur53 replied to snapoutofit's topic in School, College Programs

    Yes the TEAS is more broad. I remember receiving question on intro bio, intro chem, and A&P. I would definitely review basic chemistry concepts like atomic number, mass, etc. I seemed to get a lot...

  20. Should I Be a Nurse? 5 Things to Think About

    S7ud3n7_Nur53 replied to jeastridge's topic in General Students

    I really love that you pointed out having an open mind. It seems most of my nursing school cohort has already decided they department they want to work in, but I think I'll stay undecided for a while...

  21. Are NP jobs as plentiful as I am led to believe?

    S7ud3n7_Nur53 replied to nurse2bnoob101's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Have you tried looking on job hunting boards (indeed, monster, etc.) for NP positions in your area? I think this might give you a good

  22. Part-time jobs in Nursing Field

    S7ud3n7_Nur53 replied to Aspiring33's topic in General Students

    It depends on what state you are in, but there are unlicensed nursing support/patient care positions in some hospitals here. For example some of these job postings state: "Acceptable qualifications;...

  23. Nursing versus PA route due to set-backs

    S7ud3n7_Nur53 replied to Dustin20's topic in General Students

    I was also considering PA school, but quickly decided nursing was a better route for me after shadowing both PAs and NPs. Shadowing a PA intimidated the hell out of me. She knew EVERYTHING and was...

  24. My Daughter is Interested in Nursing

    S7ud3n7_Nur53 replied to Kamilah Coney's topic in General Students

    I do have to really advocate the idea of a public education. Of course public education varies wildly from state to state and even city to city. BUT at my high school, they actually offered a FREE CNA...

  25. UT Health Pacesetter BSN Spring 2018

    S7ud3n7_Nur53 replied to lonestarcd's topic in School, College Programs

    All you need is one acceptance to become a nurse! Don't feel to bad. With >1000 applicants, most everyone will have near perfect GPAs and test scores. There simply are not enough
