How are you?

As i am in the RN refresher course, I have to look for a site to do 80-hour clinical practice. An RN around dallas area would be wonderful. My preference is skilled nursing facility but still open to any one if available.

I had 6-month experience in long-term care facility till 2004 and went back to school/ research till now. I will be relocating to dallas. So, I need to transfer the RN license.

Any TX RN would like to take me as a "student"? My strength is fast-learner, dedication, caring and easy-going.

I am not sure if it is uncommon to post here looking for a preceptor....but i will just try. If it is too difficult to find one preceptor when i am new in TX.

Please let me know if you can help me and I will appreciate your help!!!

I'm thinking of trying to get into the LVN program @ Cy-fair (or any of the other ones!) in spring '11. I've got an A in Intro Anatamy..Does anyone know when I could take the HESI pre-entrance exam?

Also - I'm looking for any information anyone has on the program -

How many do they usually accept? Does Cy-fair have a spring & a fall start? Would you say it's less competetive than the RN program?

I've been through the website over & over lately, but not really finding answers to some of the questions I have.

Thanks. :redpinkhe ]]> Texas Nurses kayleeray http://allnurses.com/texas-nurses/lvn-lonestar-439996.html http://allnurses.com/texas-nurses/question-about-scoring-439974-new.html Thu, 19 Nov 2009 15:02:54 GMT can someone tell me how this scoring system works? im currently taking my pre reqs at hcc. so far... can someone tell me how this scoring system works?
