   simchamom replied to simchamom's topic in Career Support

   Mercyteapot - I have thought about that and pay. They all probably can figure out how much I make now. Also I think my extensive backgroung plays a part. I wish I could prove some type of discrimination. In the meantime, I keep applying to everything...

3. Versent Residency requirements

   simchamom replied to simchamom's topic in Career Support

   I have interviewed all over the Dallas-Ft. Worth area. I am asking about Versant because I was told I was no longer eligible because I have been out of school too long. I have branched out and have applied all over Texas, Georgia, and Florida. I do n...

6. RT to RN student @ Excelsior anyone else? Or advice?

   simchamom replied to Hyperbaric4u's topic in Excelsior

   I have been an RRT for 26 years. I hold a BS in Health Services Administration. When I decided to go to Nursing School, I did a lot of research. I looked at Excelsior, but it is not recognized in all states. Also I know someone who went through the p...

8. Nursing Made Incredibly Easy books...

   simchamom replied to my3suns's topic in General Students

   I like Straight A's in Maternal/Newborn nursing. The only problem is the disc doesn't work with MAC. I will be entering my third semester and will look at the other type of books for help. I like that they break the info down and you do not have to r...

9. Anyone been in or in the THR/El Centro nursing program

   simchamom replied to thawk28's topic in Texas

   I am currently in the THR/El Centro program. I am entering my second year or third semester. So far the only big problem with this program is that it is very unorganized. The best thing is that you are guaranteed a job when you graduate. I have found...

    I will be taking the mid curricular Hesi next week. Fortunately ours is averaged in like a test grade. We do not have to make a certain number. I need a 74 to keep my A and I don't even have to take it to pass the class. I am wondering what it is lik...

11. El Centro College Application - Heb B Vaccine?

    simchamom replied to PinkDoe's topic in Pre-Nursing

    Pink Doe, I am finishing up my second semester. The program is ok, just unorganized. The best thing is that it is paid for and you are guaranteed a job when you graduate. It would be great to get any position at THR. After the first semester you are ...

12. El Centro College Application - Heb B Vaccine?

    simchamom replied to PinkDoe's topic in Pre-Nursing

    I am about to finish my second semester with THR/El Centro. If I recall we started clinical late February, maybe early March. You might check and see if they can give you your Hep B a few weeks early. Good luck. Hope you get in.

13. Has anyone heard of Western Governor's University?

    simchamom replied to StillHoping's topic in Western Governors

    I have looked into WGU. The problem is that they require a previous BS or AS degree and current CNA licensure. I am a respiratory therapist with a BS degree. If I have to become a CNA that would be going backwards. In Texas there aren't many (if any)...

    simchamom replied to tawillia's topic in Texas

    I applied to the El Centro/THR program. I received a waiver for my A&P and microbiology. I am a respiratory therapist with 22 yrs. experience. I had my director and a former employer write letters. I also wrote a letter. Hope that helps. Good lu...

    Congrats to all who get in. I applied to the THR/El Centro program and our letters do not get mailed until Dec. 1. I put my application in in August. This has been a long wait. My GPA is 3.6. I have 2 more weeks to wait.
