  1. Lone Star College 2019 LVN to RN transition

    And congrats to everyone who got accepted! Btw, I rented some of my books from Amazon, but I'll post on here at some point with the ones I actually bought so someone who needs them can snag them on the cheap.
  2. Lone Star College 2019 LVN to RN transition

    That's basically what we did to get ready for the testing, but then you had to test one-on-one with an instructor. It was a little nerve wracking just bc you had to pass to move on, but it was easy.
  3. Christus Santa Rosa Nurse Residency July 2019 cohort

    That's kind of a tricky thing to answer. I've got a ton of prior experience and went to a hiring event as a 4th semester nursing student, and my interview went EXTREMELY well. So, it felt pretty easy to me, but it was (not to sound like an egotistica...
  4. New member, didn't see a thread for this current Nurse Residency cohort. Just got an offer this afternoon from the ER in New Braunfels! Can't wait to start. Any one else here in the process? Graduating in May after 12 years as a paramedic, and 3 ye...
  5. Lone Star College 2019 LVN to RN transition

    The summer session is pretty tight. It looks like those days include a Wednesday and a Thursday. You'd at least be missing a LOT of lecture, and may miss a test or lab practical exam. You basically have to be dead to get permission to make either of ...

    Unfortunately I have no clue. Sorry. Good luck!

    My date of hire is stated as July 8.
  9. Transitioning over to Nursing

    Any kind of schedule like that will cause the days you work each week to rotate, so you will need to find people who can swap shifts with you to get coverage for school. Working full time during the program is difficult, but not impossible. If it's f...
  10. Christus Santa Rosa Nurse Residency July 2019 cohort

    Got it mid day on Friday. Pay WAS altered to reflect my experience (phew!) but I'm not sure if there's any additional differential factored in for ER already. It was quoted to my as my base rate, so I'm not sure. It was 30.88 with 12 years paramedic ...
  11. Transitioning over to Nursing

    MCHD is a great organization. Good luck on landing your first job! I've attended both Lone Star and San Jac, and I definitely prefer Lone Star. For being such a large community college system, they are surprisingly easy to work with.
  12. Christus Santa Rosa Nurse Residency July 2019 cohort

    Sweet. Upper 20s is what I would've guessed as well.
  13. Transitioning over to Nursing

    Hey there! I'm a Paramedic about to graduate from Lone Star at their North Harris campus. Their bridge program condenses the basic track students' first 2 semesters into one 11 week summer session, and then you are put in with them for the last 2 sem...
  14. Christus Santa Rosa Nurse Residency July 2019 cohort

    Very good to hear! Mary Anne Holland is the current ER director at New Braunfels. Hope that's the same one you're speaking of. Have you gotten your written offer yet? I was told either today or tomorrow for that. Looks like it'll be tomorrow since i...
  15. Lone Star College 2019 LVN to RN transition

    We do graduate in may (thank GOD), and if your cousin is in the basic track, they've been in class with me since the Fall '18 semester started. At least at NH, the transition students get thrown in with the basic students at that point. As to the fi...
  16. CHRISTUS Santa Rosa RN Residency- July 2019

    Definitely stay on them with polite emails, voice messages, etc. I started off by going to their career fair back in February and getting some face-time. I let them know I had already applied to the nurse res program, and I was emailing them (ER dire...
  17. CHRISTUS Santa Rosa RN Residency- July 2019

    I got a verbal offer the day after my interview for an ER position in New Braunfels. Still waiting on the written offer letter to come via email. Can't wait to get started!
  18. Lone Star College 2019 LVN to RN transition

    I honestly don't know...it's one of those things that no one really talks about once they're in it, and I don't even remember what mine was. BUT, I can tell you there were people who assumed their scores were nowhere near good enough who still got in...
  19. Lone Star College 2019 LVN to RN transition

    I got my acceptance letter for the Transition track at North Harris last year the first week of April. I spent the whole time in low-level panic and was constantly refreshing my email. Hang in there!!!
  20. Lone Star College 2019 LVN to RN transition

    Hey everyone. I made an account just to comment on this thread. I am currently in my last semester of the transition program at North Harris. As stated, classes are usually Wed and Thurs, 11-1:30 for N1-N4 semesters. For the Summer session for transi...
