   slelder posted a topic in ADN/BSN

   I was reading some of the pay rates in the "New Grad pay" post (especially the new grad who applied at Parkland), and now I'm more afraid of what is going to be my outcome as an RN. I have been an LVN for 4 years(graduate in Dec. with ADN) and after...

3. DNI Dallas Nursing Institute RN program

   slelder replied to Aidens.Mommy's topic in Texas

   I looked into TCC and they don't have a TEAS test date any time soon. I have to check ATI again in January to see if they have posted new test dates. I checked Hill College, Navarro and Weatherford as well and will see if I can apply there.

4. What do you think of your online nursing experience?

   slelder replied to texashyles's topic in Online Learning

   So with everything you did at Excelsior, none of it will transfer out unless you take and pass the clinical portion? I really wanted to do the Excelsior thing, but I was just sooo afraid of hanging all of that hard work on a clinical that was stuffe...

   THANK YOU SOOO MUCH for this posting Texasboi. I was going to go apply to DNI this week bc I am an LVN wanting to bridge to RN ASAP. I took Chemistry in high school and can't seem to pass Statistics so that takes Collin College off my list. I was in...

   slelder replied to Txstarr972's topic in Texas

   You might want to call DNI or go up there, probably going up there would be more beneficial. I, like you, am looking into applying to their bridge program since they accept more than once a year and I do not have time to sit in a classroom 4 days/wee...

   Hello all! I am an LVN with no clinical experience and I would love to get my RN sooner than later. As of now, I only know of El Centro starting in Fall '11 but does anyone know of any other program that doesn't require me to sit in class several da...

9. Brookhaven Nursing Program--Changing?

   slelder replied to mbcatac7's topic in Texas

   The point system does not prove anything either. Now that I am in the nursing program, and there are two girls that are repeating the program for the second time this year and they did very well with their support courses and pre-reqs. I don't thin...

10. Brookhaven Nursing Program--Changing?

    slelder replied to mbcatac7's topic in Texas

    Well good luck with your application. I am in a nursing program at El Centro right now and trust me, you would probably be better off at Brookhaven. El Centro's nursing programs are very unorganized...I mean, just look at where the college is locat...

    Oh great! They are no longer going to have an interview process...hmmm...they are prob going to just go off of 4.0 GPA's like everybody else. What a surprise! I can't wait until they realize that just because someone has a 4.0, that doesn't mean tha...

    I'm sorry...yes, MS was the abbreviation on the admission form. No, he wasn't climbing the walls, and honestly, by the time I was assigned to him, he was Alert & Oriented X3. I picked a new patient to do my care plan on. We have to have 1 diagno...
