1. Do Graduate Nurses get paid more if they are bilingual?

   alexemt replied to D2588's topic in Texas

   Harris County Hospital District (Ben Taub and L.B.J.) definately pay more. You have to take a bilingual test. There is a catch though. You can be sent clear across to the other side of the hospital to translate for anyone if you are "certified". May ...

   Hello all and congrats to those that got accepted! For those that weren't don't give up! I got accepted on the 3rd try, partially my fault though. I just completed my first semester of the regular/accelerated 15 month BSN program. I now know why path...

3. UTMB Accelerated Spring 2010

   alexemt replied to sarah_ashley's topic in Texas

   Hello everyone. I am not sure if by accelerated you mean the Bacc2 or the class I am in. I started May of this year and we are considered accelerated because you finish the program in 15 months. We do not have a break so to speak. Well unless you con...

   I got accepted this past spring semester. Your right the process is abit easier and you don't have to pay for the application. You still first get accepted into the school and then they forward the app to the SON. They will automatically give you a p...

   You don't have to have a PDA, actually you might have a hard time finding one. Most retail stores dont sell them (best buy, office depot, etc...) I didn't exactly want to carry more than one device around so I confirmed that it was okay to have a sma...

   I am 33 (3rd career). I started the ADN mobility program this semester. A transition from LVN or paramedic to RN. There were 5 guys out of 27. One is 25, and the rest of us are older than 30. This semester of medsurg took a toll on alot of people. On...

    Wow.. i just noticed that the health assessment book that is required is the one I used at san jac. My wife went through the coarse and they used the 4th edition. I was worried that I would miss something and ended up buying the 5th edition. Long sto...

    I got lucky the medsurg book UTMB is using will be the same one I am using now. That set was around 250. They didn't give me credit for my nursing fundamentals but they did give me credit for health assessment. Less money for books. I need all the ...

14. Don't have the grades.. Can I still be a nurse?

    alexemt replied to andrewsvalesen's topic in Texas

    I think a back door into a nursing school would be to become an LVN or a paramedic. It would give you a great feel for the medical field. I personally choose to go the paramedic route because the local fire department paid for it and I knew it woul...

    A little back ground. I am currently a paramedic that is doing the transitional program to RN @ SJC south. I originally quit my job after 11 years to go back to school and finish my degree. I applied to UTMB and TWU and was turned down, so I retoo...
