I graduated from TCC, and I plan on completing UTA's RN-BSN program soon. Best of luck to you all- just keep following up with those apps and check the sites often for job postings... many times they go up and then down within 24 hrs!

I just want to say that I am a fresh ADN grad (December 2010), and I landed an ICU position in a pediatric hospital that is magnet accredited. Now, with that being said, that is not the norm here. I graduated from a very respected program, and I wou...
Greetings all!! I am in my last semester of nursing school, and I just accepted a GN position in the level III NICU that I currently work in as a tech- I cannot wait to read all of the tips and support on here!
Hey guys, sorry for the delay! As far as work goes, I actually work 2 jobs- one at a local hospital in the NICU (my DREAM RN job :) and another in retail (I know it is totally un-related, but it pays me very well lol). My hospital job is only (3) 5 h...
I would highly discourage you from dropping speech- I know it is tempting to only focus on your science classes, but like previously stated, people who have all classes done (with good grades and TEAS) take preference for seats. I am about to enter m...

Thanks! I hope your first semester was an enjoyable one- it is one of the hardest just because you have to get accustomed to the whole nursing school scenario. I had Aguilar for my clinical instructor- she is AWESOME. When I had her (prior to her div...
I am finishing up my pedi/OB semester (last clinical next week!) and I took mental health theory online. I am pretty sure that we were the first group to have it, the second group at most, and it was incredibly challenging. All my friends took it on-...

Aw thanks for responding! I actually completed everything but the online app, and went to do that 2 WEEKS before the deadline, only to get a message saying it was no longer available. I called the HR dept and they told me that they "just decided to t...
Ok, so I am currently in my OB/Pedi semester, having just completed Pedi and going on to OB. I just have the fall semester left after this, so this summer is the time to start looking at summer externships. I have an overall nursing GPA of a 3.25, an...

Sorry so long w no response! Unfortunantly I'm on my dad's insurance since I'm considered a FT student (but only juntil I turn 23 this Nov) so I couldn't tell you how much it is. I do know that several students have gone through a contact that the sc...

Ok well I guess I will start! I had a 3.7 overall, and a 3.5 science GPA. I had also taken pharm and patho at another university, and even though we DIDN'T get bonus points, from what I understand they are bringing them back for pharm and medical ter...
