Hello,
I'm applying to the fall nursing program in January. I'm super excited but I still have some unanswered questions. I tried calling the Nursing Dept at the South Campus and left a message but have not heard a response.
I'm trying to find out what teas version they are testing with in the spring for fall entry. I have read tons of threads from TCC for the past few semesters and it is nice to start a new one for nursing hopefuls like me.
I'm taking Micro in the fall and getting a math class knocked out for BSN. Anyway, hope to get some responses.
I picked up a care plan book, and lab/diagnostic book at half price books. I spent around $20 for both. I seem to gravitate towards Mosbys because I noticed yesterday that all of my reference books are Mosbys. That was not intentional, I just picked the ones I found easy to understand, and had some suggestions from the Nurse Manager at my hospital.
Quick question, anyone tried on scrub bottoms yet? I'm having a hard time finding some that looks okay. I'm 5'2" and even the petites look a little long.Do you guys think that pockets would be appropriate on the bottoms, like on the legs, kind of like the cargo look?
I have a friend that just graduated from UTA's BSN program in May, and she said she liked having a scrub top without pockets, and scrub pants that had the pockets in the legs. She said she wore a scrub top with pockets once, and every time she sat down her notepad, pen, etc poked her in the stomach/chest. After continously stabbing herself all day, she went out that night and bought new scrub tops and pants.
I honestly think it's all about personal preference. From what I can tell, we pretty much have free reign over everything about our scrubs except for the color.
I was on efollett.com ordering my CID's so they're ready to be picked up the next chance I get to go downtown, and I saw that two of the course codes don't match. On the blue paper for Foundations, it states that Theory is RNSG-1513 and Clinicals is RNSG-1360, however according to our schedules Theory is RNSG-1413 and Clinicals is RNSG-1460. Do you guys think they changed the course code and just didn't think to change these printouts? I'm sure they use the same ones every semester. I just wanted to make sure I was ordering the right CID's.
I am 5 ft and very petite with curves and I had a hard time finding pants that fit me as well!! BUT I went and got Koi scrub pants that are cargo (the gold form says we can have cargo) and they are AMAZING! They come in petite sizes and I got the small petite, which is a PERFECT fit! :) hope this helps!!
Went to HPB today and got nursing care plans book by gulanick/myers for $10 and the fundamentals of nursing study guide (7th ed not 9th) for only $5 for extra help! They have some good deals there!!!

Yes, I made my order around 8pm Wednesday night and it was shipped out yesterday. There must've been some confusion because when I called yesterday to get an estimated delivery date I was told I should get everything today. But I just got a UPS tracking email and the books aren't supposed to arrive until Wednesday. Either way, I still say that's better than waiting until the end of July! I'm sure yours will arrive on Wednesday or Thursday.
