you do have ER techs that work there? what is their job description. the title? so i should just call the manager directly and say what? that im looking for a job and im in nursing school (hopefully when i call i will be) and im EMT certified (hopefully) because i dont see me getting a job before EMT.

I know the feeling I went to PCI about 11 years ago for medical assistant and I took awile for me to pay them off. But those technical schools are a scam. They charge you and arm and a legg! So get in there, so you can start getting some experience. I love the medical field!!! If I wasn't in it I would have to be a marine or FBI agent because I love intense situations and blood and guts.haha. I'm so glad I found you!!! Know one understands what your going through unless their in the same situation.

To be an ER tech you have to be CPR certified. Not sure of the other requirements but they draw blood, do EKG's and assist the RN. But yeah, call the manager and see whats up. I do know that they can and will hire you if you have completed your first semester of nursing school as a Nurse Tech.

im CPR cert and first aid too. i never see "nurse tech" jobs on the baylor website. is that their actual title. i never see "er tech" either.

exactly they r a hugggee scam. i paid my reg. fee and immediately cancelled. it was crazy. i got my 100 back quick. i dont know how to do EKG. we learned how at TWU but not a lot of exprience. i dont remember how. it was in a lab. i have no idea what i would do if i wasnt in the medical field. probably women studies.. ? idk.

They are on there every know and then, but job posts never stay up long. But I would cal the manager. They only use nurse techs in er, all other depts use patient care techs, which is the same but nurse tech have more skills and are able to do more. Plus, the try to get you early so if you work for them as a nurse tech they will likely make you an offer after you graduate nursing school.

hmm? well ill do my EMT over the summer.. and ill call and see whats up.. but only if i get accepted to baylor because that is the only Dallas school i applied to. besides twu dallas, but thats a slim to none things..so im counting on twu houston.

You will get in.We've done the work and now it's time it paid off!!! I would have liked to apply to school out of the area but I have a daughter and I dont want to move her temporarily.

Prettyladie · Mar 30, 2009

i have a newborn son. im moving wherever and whenever. but i understand your situation too. my gpa is a 3.45 at baylor and at midwestern state. its a 3.39 and twu. and its wayy low at SFA because they average the grades of repeats..so yeahh..and at the adn program they did my cumulative gpa of all the classes ive ever taken plus average the repeats so i only had a 2.8 and they go on points..and i only had 8 points out of 13. so i got on an alternate list. i hope i get in. that would be great if we both got into baylor. we could study together possibly if things get difficult. are you gonna use a laptop. i am and i dont care if im the only one in there. im going to take notes by hand, then type them. and use notecards..etc. i have a website for greeeaatt planners. and i also have patient worksheets for clinicals and concept maps. i know we will use both of them so if you want them let me know. i have a bunch of stuff on my computer. when you were talkin to tina, what great feedback was she giving you. do you feel confident about getting in.

daniedi77 · Mar 30, 2009

I'd like to feel confident but when I do I start to doubt again. I got my first email from Tina at the end of January saying she had recieved my packet and she will contact me soon with a degree plan. Last month she sent me another email saying I was missing some classes but that was okay that I could take them in the summer but that she needed me to call or email her to let her know if I could complete those classes before fall semester starts and I told her yes. Then I called her and asked if my Net and graded were competitive enough to be considered and she told me yes So I don't know, I feel like if I didnt get in, why would she care if I finish those classes or not. But ya never know. This is my first time applying so I dont have any expectations. I hope we both get in as well. Of course we can study together. My boyfriend told me that you will become really close with the other students because we're starting and ending together, so lots of study groups. WOW, you have a newborn. Thats wonderful, I hope he is nice to mommy and lets her study. My daughters 10 so we both sit and do homework together. Thats real crappy that they used you repeat classes. I'm repeat class queen, but Baylor only looks at last time taken.

Prettyladie · Mar 30, 2009

yess. i know baylor only looks at last taken and luckily mine are all higher. i applied with NO c's so im really proud of myself. i think you got in, because she asked you if you could complete those courses before fall, so basically what im thinking is that she is like okay shes in, but can she finish these classes and if not..we'll move on. because your gpa is stellar. my 2 month will let me study. i was quite a lazy lady when i was pregnant..so i got a lazy baby lol. i mean he is active and he plays and cries..but he mostly sleeps lol. hes sleep now.. he slept through church today until he got hungry. he only cries when hes wet/dirty or hungry. other than that he will just sit there if hes not sleeping. do you ever go on the nursing website and click on current students and read the info. i use to when the spring applicants got accepted because they posted info for them. like the books, the uniform numbers and styles. the patches.. everything. i would just readdd and reaaaad. but now it doesnt say anything accept welcome to nursing..blah blah because its a new semester coming. but the books and stuff is still there. i already have one of the books. for pathophysiology because i took that at SFA but it doesnt transfer because they combine patho and pharm together in one class, but im buying the book bundle if i get accepted, and the SAME book is in there. so ill have to sell one of the copies. do you know what stethoscope you want.

daniedi77 · Mar 30, 2009

Yes, I look at the nursing site all the time. I freaked when they updated it. I was like Yea!!!!!! the letters are coming. That's one thing that ticks me off. I have taken sososososossooo many Nursing classes for different schools and none of them count. Ive taken dosages and calulation, medical spanish, nursing pharmacalogy, Nursing patho, end of life issues. AND NONE COUNT! But in the end, it will make it easier in nursing school i guess. I have 2 C's but OH WELL i'm not retaking anymore classes. As long as its not a science class, i dont care. I'm so excited. We better get something this week. Its been 3 weeks since she sent that email. I finally told my post lady what I was waiting for so now she makes sure she's on time and looks through my stack, its so funny. She thought I was crazy waiting every day since March 1st by the mailbox. lololol. I haven't been to work in a month and I cant concentrate in class. It's like whether Im in or not I just need to know, so I can start to function again, like a normal person.
