   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 ...

4. What do TX RNs make?

   TexnMedic replied to bluemorningglory's topic in Texas

   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 ...

5. What do TX RNs make?

   TexnMedic replied to bluemorningglory's topic in Texas

   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...

10. Distance Learning System Indiana

    TexnMedic replied to pamedic20013's topic in Online Learning

    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...

11. Distance Learning System Indiana

    TexnMedic replied to pamedic20013's topic in Online Learning

    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!

    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...
