Hello, How are the classes going? I'm debating between Texas Tech and TWU. Both programs are great. I live in the DFW area, so it might make sense to go to TWU. But both programs are entirely online, so I'm unsure if locality is relevant. What I like about TWU is that (MODERATOR EDIT OF NAME) said she would work with me since I'm still in the Army Reserve.

I'm sorry to hear that. Did the committee offer the denial reasons? You should apply to other programs. I also applied for the program at Texas Woman's University. My coworkers went to UT Tyler, UT Arlington, and Walden University.

It went well. ? I just received an offer for admission. I also received an admission offer from Texas Woman's University as well. Now I have to decide which program to go to. They are both good. Texas Tech is one semester shorter for the full-time track.

Yes, you are correct. If I start in Spring 2024, I will finish in Fall 2025. ?

Thank you for the info. I also applied for Texas Tech. Their full time program is 49 credits with 6 semesters nonstop.

How was the interview?

Hello, How is the program going for you all? I have an interview next week for the program. I assume it's for the Spring 2024 semester. It looks like you can take classes on your own without following a specific schedule. Is that correct?

I have an interview today. ?

Greetings, I will be going for Nurse II soon. May I get a copy of the proficiency as well? Thank you so much. [email protected]

Hello, I am a new nurse at the Dallas VA. I am about to graduate from the nurse residency program (transition to practice, TTP). I like to work at the VA because I'm a veteran. The benefits are a lot better than the private sector. As nurses, we get 8 hours of vacations and 4 hours of sick leave per pay period. You also get your separate hours of holidays. There are a lot of scholarship opportunities for you to advance for career. As far as the workload, it depends on what unit you are working but generally it's hardwork everywhere during this pandemic. The VA has strong union, which I am a part of. It's good for job security since Texas is a right to work state, which means you can get fired easier in the private sector. Anyway, good luck with your TTP program. I'll probably see you around in the hospital.

So I finally got my offer letter yesterday, Friday 08/28. I will start on Monday, 08/31. Are you guys/gals starting on Monday too?

You have done the PSB review already? I haven't done that yet :) They will probably send the offer a week before the start date. Things are running slowly over there. I am working as a student nurse tech on MICU/CCU.

I applied for the Transition to Practice program and received an unofficial offer from the coordinator. Now I am waiting for the firm offer with the start date from HR. The VA takes forever with HR paperwork. Hang in there ?

I took mine on June 26th and nothing happened until I called them yesterday. After I called them, one representative said he would email to his supervisor to have my license posted. They posted my license less than 24 hours. The point is, call them if it has been a while and nothing happened to your license. Call them at 0800h on the dot to get a chance. However, if you encountered the busy signal tone, stay on the line and you will be connected, eventually. That's what I did yesterday.

Yes. I bought the quick result to calm my nerves.? I can't wait for days or weeks to find out if I passed or failed.
