Also, every position I applied for(other than UTMB) required 1-2 years of nursing experience. I applied to four places total. If you take UTMB out of the equation I got interviews for the other three positions. I was offered 2 out of the 3. So don't ...

Proudblood, are you going to be applying in the Houston area? 5 out of my seven years was 911 experience so I know that helped me out. I don't think it would have helped me out so much if imworked on a transfer truck all of those years running the BS...

It had nothing to do with being an HCA hospital. My girlfriend works for an HCA hospital and has been there three years. It just had to do with the drive being further than I wanted and getting a job closer to home that paid over $3 more an hour not ...

I'd say HCA, Tenet, and Christus hospitals. It seemed like all of the Hermanns, St. Lukes, and Methodist hospitals wanted BSNs. I had the most call backs from HCA hospitals, but also have 7 years of paramedic experience which may have helped. I didnt...

I graduated in December 2010 with my associates RN. If you want to work in the medical center I suggest getting your BSN because thats what most seem to be requiring or going with. I applied at St. Lukes and got the thanks but no thanks letter. I re...

A)I am curious to know what a competitive GPA is. I know the higher the better, but what is the normal competitive range? B)Also, for medical and dental school certain application systems are used. From what research I have done, it does not appear ...
I know this has been answered but I was unable to find any threads in a search. What scores should I feel comfortable with on practice exams? I just took practice exam A and made a 71. I am taking Part B tonight after I look over a few things and w...

I have their study guides and attend their "classes" in person. Their classes have start and finish dates. All NC classes are six weeks and eight to ten weeks for A&P and Micro. We do not have assignments other than reading the chapter before cl...

I completely agree. I am in the same boat. I wish I would have just bought the books. The tutorials are worthless in my opinion. They got me for $8,000!
I signed with them and can not stand them. I DO NOT recommend them. They get you to sign and have zero customer service. They will not send me my books fast enough and I have resorted to ebay using other publishers even though they have me for roug...

Do not sign with any of them. They all go through Excelsior and cost you an arm and a leg for nothing. I made this mistake($8,000) and wish I would have done some research. I bought two College Network guides on Ebay today for 65 bucks shipped. They...
I ended up buying both! I guess I will use studygroup as my study guide and follow the notes after going through the study guide and before the test. Thanks everyone.
