We got about 3 weeks off from the end of July to the end of August, my group started last spring.

Good luck to everyone coming in for the spring!! Be prepared for last minute schedule changes, and extra money requested at random. They will tell you to get a PCT job, then tell you that you...

Texas is a really large state, what area are you wanting to know about?

I think working is definitely possible during school. Try to work somewhere that you can change your schedule at a whim. Clinical days can get changed at last minute, extra classes added, and we have...

Can anyone tell me about externships in the DFW area? Are they like a clinical experience so I can use my skills learned in class such as catheters, IV, etc... or is it like an aide? Any info is...

If you want to get into a nursing program in Dallas, it will take at least a year. The ADN programs like Brookhaven, Mountain View, and El Centro require the prerequisites and most of the support...

Do you guys think Sulphur Springs, and Commerce areas are far enough outside of Dallas for a fighting chance?

This thread makes me nervous. My husband has the mindset that if I make good grades, and apply and accept any position that comes at me after graduation I won't have to worry. From the tone of this...

Briterz, if it's the same as last semester you won't know until your sitting at the table what question you will receive. But some of the questions repeat, so someone asked something earlier, might...

Everyone in my interview group wore a suit, but a few people who were waiting for interviews in the lab had on nice business casual clothes. Some people in my group mixed in humor with their answers,...
