Hi, how did you find your transcript status? I don't have anything under tasks or document center...

Thanks for sharing! I was worried about that bc I applied on time, but my application wasn't verified until a day after the application deadline.

When did you receive this email?

Hi. The Castlebranch website states "It takes on average 3-5 business days to complete a background check. Some state or county searches take a bit longer to conduct based upon the court systems in that jurisdiction." Mine took 5 business days. You can log in to CB and under the to-do list, click "view results" and you'll be able to view a PDF summary of your results. I'm not sure if we're supposed to get any confirmation if it was cleared. I think you will be fine if you already submitted it since that's all they said to do by today.

Hi everyone. How long has it taken you all to gain access to the applicant portal after submitting your application? I received my log in info by email a day after but it doesn't work (given an error message saying the password is wrong). I called the IT help desk and they said to just try again next week ? I'm stressing. I'd really like to check for any missing admission documents/requirements before then bc we're so close to the deadline.

Thank you so much for finding that info for me! That makes me feel better, but fingers crossed it still gets verified before the initial deadline LOL. Hmm okay. I guess we will have to wait and see.

Hey ya'll. Has anyone else's application still not been verified yet? I'm really starting to worry because I didn't know we were suppose to submit it like 4 weeks early to make sure they verify it on time. ? Also, anyone sure they are still using that point system? Someone said a few pages back they weren't but I'm kind of hoping they are.

Hi there. It sounds like we may have been offered the same unit! I have an offer for the thoracic surgery ICU/surgical ICU (for some reason they were grouped together for the offer).

Hey! The same thing happened to me (they called me, I missed it, and then they didn't answer). Have you heard back about interviews? Because I have not and I am hoping it isn't because I wasn't able to get in contact with the recruiter.

hey everyone! I was offered a residency spot in the TMC for the fall 2021 cohort. I know this thread is a bit old, but I just wanted to check in to ask how y’all enjoyed the residency program/working at St. Luke’s

I did both of those too but under the program description tab on nursingcas it says "Applicants should not send a TEAS transcript to TWU. There is a fee to send a TEAS transcript and it will not reach the College of Nursing." That contradicts the email you received? Hopefully they update that because some students may end up having missing documents.. That's impressive!! What did you use to study for the HESI? And did you find it harder or easier than the TEAS?

Hey! Great job your HESI! ? That's a great score especially considering your experience with prometric. So, how did you get back in after getting booted each time? Now I'm worried it'll happen to me too

Some of us did get some ER rotations since I posted that message, so I was wrong about that. So far we have had rotations at Driscoll Children's Hospital, Spohn Shoreline, Wesley Community Center, Counseling and Training Clinic, and a few different CCISD locations (w/ school nurses).

I think I've learned enough to stand a chance on the NCLEX. I am confident in the skills I have learned throughout the program, but I think that most of my learning will take place on the floor as a graduate nurse. That is a good question, but no, not really. If I were you, I would try my best to enjoy the calm before the storm! But there are plenty of resources out there if you want to prepare. I can help you find some if you are having trouble. I understand! I would want these answers if I were in your shoes too! No, I would likely not choose this program again. Some professors are wonderful and competent educators, and others are not. The disorganization could be attributed to the pandemic, laziness, or several other factors. It is hard for me to say with certainty. I would hate for it to be a bad investment or experience too! I know this message is coming a bit late, but I hope the information I have provided so far can help y'all make an informed decision.

Yes, a few students have part-time jobs. I don't think anyone has a full-time one though. Working will likely make the program more challenging, but it is not impossible to do both simultaneously.
