Powerpoints on what?

I will admit this is a little nerve racking waiting. I just want this process over with.

Hey I am not judging as we all "size" our competition up to see where we stand, I am just trying to understand. One should already know we have enough points because we are being interviewed...so why going forward does it matter? Like I said, we should look to one another as when we do get accepted, we have to help each other during this tough journey!

Thank you for the information. I do have a question...why is everyone so concerned with how many points they have? Does it really matter? Just because someone has more points than the other doesn't mean they are smarter or even I "shoe in" to be accepted. We are all there for the same goal...to become nurses. It doesn't matter how we get there, what our grades were or even our points. We as future nursing students need to help each other out.

UTSW does not have an RN program, however I work at Parkland hospital and through their Academy they collaborate with Brookhaven's nursing program. So if I get accepted, crossing fingers, I will be able to do all my clinicals at Parkland and secure my job.

I know everyone is nervous about the interviews next week. I spoke with a couple former Brookhaven nursing students and this is what they said about interview: The first 15min is the writing portion where you will respond to questions. That writing portion is then given to the interview panel, where you will be asked aprox. 2 questions. They stated the questions or writing portion wasn't hard, just be consistent in your answers. The hardest part is being interviewed by the panel.

I am a surgical technologist. It is very hard to get a job in hospitals so my best advice is to treat your clinica's like a job interview.

Hi everyone! Just wanted to introduce myself. I applied for the Fall and have my interview on Tuesday. I currently work at Parkland hospital in the OR. Look forward to talking & getting to know each of you!
