KW does night and weekend again? When I contacted them back in July I was told they stopped doing that when they stopped offering their program online! That would be nice if they did tho!

Fun? Hah. I work this weekend. But I do intend to sleep in until I go to work. I've been running errands all week long and I'm just waiting for a time where I can actually get some shut eye!

i got that email back in june. i didn't know what they were talking about until someone said it said 2016-17. this is my first time applying and i've only been a student since the summer at lonestar so i guess it didn't really mean anything after all

Welp! If they decide to tell us today or tomorrow then just heads up, scrubs are half off (at least at cyfair main) because the store is closing. Up to 75% off so any supplies you need, now would be the time to get them lol. Med books (not text think terminology and drug handbooks) are also 75% off

Got to stalk my email for all of 30 min before I had to meet with my client for a couple of hours! Left my cellphone in the car because I didn't want to be distracted! Glad I didn't miss out on too much! Hope everyone had a wonderful and productive day! Oh and side note, totally got a 100 on my pharmacology math exam this morning that I studied for. And expecting an A on the second part of the exam we also had to take today. Celebrating with the BF and my besties later! Woo!

now that my pharm exam is over, time to stalk my email lol

I haven't received anything about it... sounds promising either way though so good luck!

Definitely 80 for KW and definitely 40 for CF! And I never reached out to Tomball to ask about their spots as I was mainly leaning towards CF

Yes!!! Speak it into existence!!! I found myself getting excited over every notification this morning that I was up earlier than usual (sister, mom, Jack in the box, imaginary childhood friend from 20 years ago haha and of course allnurses was sending all kinds of stuff lol.) Put my phone on silent, came to school early and studied for my pharmacology exam that's tomorrow, before I head to my lifespan class down the hall. Must. Be. Productive. If we are up anyway!

No experience. They train you to get your license (tech) that is good anywhere. That's one of the upsides. You get paid to take a class that others pay for to get a license that's accepted anywhere. You work at least 12 hour shifts. The pay wasn't all that great and you had to pay for part of your insurance, but it gives you the healthcare experience you need. It's literally one of the few places that offer this. Again, I don't know anyone who's recently worked there to get new info, but if you look at their past reviews (like on Glassdoor) it makes you want to run the other way. But if they're revamping and they are getting new leadership and treating their employees better, then I'll throw my hat in the ring!

Oh well that's definitely promising! Well this is going to be a great week for you! Sounds like they care about you already. Keep us posted

I didn't mind the hours, apparently you can wrack up enough overtime for it to make up for the pay. I would be more concerned about how to work it out with school. But 3 days a week is very nurselike! Let me know! There's a DaVita like 5 min from my house that's hiring and Everytime I get fed up at my job, I always go to the DaVita website and contemplate appllyinh lol.

when you hear back from davita, let me know how you like your new position! i've considered applying with them but i haven't heard anything super great, recently, about them. BUT i haven't heard anything in the recent past so tell me if you love it! i know one of the things that stopped me was the decrease in pay coupled with the having to pay out of pocket for their insurance. other than that, i didn't mind the 12-14 hour shifts (i thought it would most prepare for nursing), but again, that's what i read/heard about the past. Hopefully they got their stuff together and you're able to balance their work with school! Good luck!

Just curious... How many are anxious / stressed about getting in? I know my score isn't as high as everyone else's so far that's posted, but I can't seem to make myself get as worked up. I mean, every email I get I obviously want it to be my acceptance, but I guess I feel like I did my best (took both a&p over the summer ahhhh) and I know I rocked my hesi and critical thinking. Like the closer we get I want to be more anxious but I see the anticipation and I get anxiety vibes and I just want us all to be peaceful. I'm chill. Maybe I get Cypress. Maybe I get Tomball. Maybe I get Kingwood. Maybe I don't. I've only been speaking Cypress into existence, but have been praying for whichever door leads me out of my current career and into my new one. I just wanted to pray for peace for everyone here during this nerve-wracking time we are in. You're greater than the score you bring to your school of choice. You don't have to obsess over boards from 10 years ago to see where you fall. Look forward, not back, but remain present. Our days of pure freedom are slipping away one by one. Enjoy them. We will get our acceptance letters soon enough!

go to your exam, but don't click on the "admission assessment report" but look to the left of it and there is a + symbol. click that and then you can view your individual scores. once you see your list, go to the right and click "view my results" it shows how you did compared to others. for example, i made a 96 on anatomy and the class average (came up, it was like a 67 or 72 at the time i took mine) to a now 75. it shows if you did at, above or below average, and it also gives you tools to help improve your score should you want to do it again.
