You can buy your quick results for around $8!

In Texas you can go to https://txbn.boardsofnursing.org/licenselookup and get your GN permit information with just your name and which license you applied for (RN or LVN/LPN). Other states may have a similar look up system. Exploring your states BON website may be helpful.

I just accepted an acute care position at the Round Rock location! Apparently, across the board they have a pretty good reputation for getting back to their candidates within a day or two after the live interview. Good luck everyone! If you get a live interview remember to prepared and be confident. You got this! ?

Just DM'ED you!

Hey Folks! Congratz to those who have gotten their acceptances! And to those still waiting or on the waitlist, hang in there! I have several friends in the program who were pulled from the waitlist! I'm actually a 4th semester student right now, planning to graduate and move off the island in December. I currently live in a little house that is walking distance from campus and the beach with a month to month lease that will be available starting in January! If you or someone you know is looking for a place to live on the island DM me and ill be happy to give you some more info!

I had clinical the day of the ATX area expo, but I was able to get some info from a friend who attended! My interview is for acute care which was my #1 choice. Thank you so much, I hope yours goes well too!

Oh yeah that was me, haha. Just trying to get a better understanding of the process!

Congratz! I'm curious how many time slots were available when you signed up?

The phone screen is just to confirm where you got your nursing degree, what your GPA is/was, location preference, specialty preference and if you have any certifications. It's also a good time to ask when they plan to send out live interview invites for your region, and any other questions about the process or position you may have!

I was surprised to see it so soon, but this past Thursday I got a live interview invitation for an acute care in the Round Rock and Lakeway area! When I went to schedule it there were 24 available times. I'm not sure if that means they plan to interview 25-30 people?

A friend of mine, who did a phone screening with the DFW region, was told it depends on the unit. I got a confirmation email. Maybe try signing up again in case you needed to press one more button?

Practice before hand! I won't disclose the questions out of fairness to other applicants who didn't know them in advance, but if you Google common nursing interview questions and get pretty comfortable your answers to a few of those then you should be able to answer the ones in the video interview no problem! Remember the most important thing is to be yourself!

I had my phone screening for Round Rock and Lakeway a few days ago. It was basically confirming where you got your nursing degree, what your GPA is/was, location preference, specialty preference and if you have any certifications. He also offered to answer any questions I had. He also mentioned that invitations to do the live video interviews with the hiring managers in the ATX region will go out mid October.

I also just got the email to do the phone interview! It took 10 days for me as well. I think you're right about Round Rock doing it earlier. They're my number 1 choice!

Today at the B/CS GN expo someone asked how many applicants there are at the moment and the recruiter shared that their is currently around 2,000 for all regions.

Thanks for the heads up! It was still stressful, haha. I'm a big people person so not getting to make eye contact and have an actual conversation was difficult. But it is what it is!

Got the email for the virtual interview this afternoon! Were y'all able to re-record your answers if needed or was it a one shot deal?

Thanks! I figured it'd be better to wait and submit the best version I could but now I'm anxious because it seems like the spots might fill up before they get to my application. Good luck on your interview today!

After making tiny tweaks on my cover letter and resume for the past few days I've finally submitted my application!

I'm in my final semester of nursing school now and have been interested in applying to the AS residency program. However the link to submit an interest form is no longer active. I'm also having a difficult time finding who to contact about the program still being offered. Would y'all happen to know who I might be able to get this information from?

New student orientation for fall start BSN students is August 26. The May date is for summer start. If you applied for summer start there is a different thread for that. Also keep in mind the first round of acceptances have to make a decision by tomorrow, so they will probably start pulling from the waitlist soon!

I know several people accepted in the first round (including myself) that don't qualify for the honors program. Stats are important but from what I've seen they aren't a reliable way to determine what your admissions status may be. What ever the process is, I hope y'all hear back soon!

Hello all! I am currently a pre-nursing student finishing up a Bachelors degree in Community Health (this degree qualifies me to earn a health education specialist certification). Last week I was officially accepted to my dream accelerated BSN program! I will graduate with my Community Health degree in May and start my BSN in late August. I have three years of experience as a personal care provider (2 years with a quadriplegic woman, and one year with a boy with Dravet syndrome). Additionally, I will be working as a lifeguard this summer, but that's more patron surveillance than it is providing aid. I would love to gain some clinical experience before/during my BSN program. I regret not becoming a CNA or a Patient Care Tech while I was in school for my Community Health degree, but it is what it is. I have some health care experience, and I've talked to many individuals in the nursing profession, but I know there's a lot I don't know or understand yet. I've considered volunteering, shadowing, finding a relevant job...but I'm not sure what the best option would be right now. So here are my questions to you: What experience did you have before landing your first nursing job (including previous jobs and education)? Are there any jobs or experiences you suggest I pursue this summer or while I'm in school getting my BSN? Any and all advice is welcomed! Thank you!

You could try public health nursing! State governments are good places to find public health nursing jobs. Usually the benefits are pretty good too. https://www.apha.org/-/media/files/pdf/membergroups/phn/nursingdefinition.ashx?la=en&hash=331DBEC4B79E0C0B8C644BF2BEA571249F8717A0

So who's starting the Facebook page? I would volunteer, but I'm not really social media savvy.
