  1. relocating to dallas area

    lavatea replied to Bornleader-NP-C's topic in Texas Nursing

    Wow...I'm getting jipped. The cost of living in Tyler is not that much less than (parts of) DFW. Oh well, at least they're taking a chance on me, and it's in an area I'm interested in. Going to make...

  2. relocating to dallas area

    lavatea replied to Bornleader-NP-C's topic in Texas Nursing

    I know this thread is a little old, but I'm sure others are still searching for the same information. I got offered a job in Tyler (a couple hours outside of Dallas). It will start at $20/hr as a new...

  3. Possible relocation to Tyler, Texas...

    lavatea replied to MissLouda's topic in Texas Nursing

    I currently live in the south Tyler area. While it is pretty quick to get to the hospitals, if you will be visiting friends/family in the DFW area on a frequent basis, I'd go for Lindale. Traffic in...

  4. Is there really a nursing shortage? I am starting to think not.

    lavatea replied to sc0628's topic in First Year After Licensure

    As much as I would hate another year of school, I don't think a one year hands on (no stupid lecture time) clinical rotation would be a bad idea. Then we would have that magic one year of experience...

    lavatea replied to Compassionate Nurse's topic in Texas Nursing

    I really hope you do, too. And if you do choose to live in Mesquite, I was told the Poteet area is the

  6. Dallas Regional Medical Center in Mesquite, TX

    lavatea replied to Compassionate Nurse's topic in Texas Nursing

    I'm from Mesquite, currently in nursing school about 1 1/2 away in Tyler. Mesquite used to be a nice city. My parents and grandparents still live there. I don't plan on moving back. My friend's father...

  7. Can you take the LVN licensing exam during RN school?

    lavatea replied to Trilldayz,RN BSN's topic in Texas Nursing

    We just got a message from our dean saying that the BON will no longer allow RN students to petition to sit for the LVN exam. I was wondering if anyone on here had heard this and knew the rationale...

  9. transfering to ut tyler

    lavatea replied to woo83's topic in Texas Nursing

    Just an update: I got in for spring '09 with 83.18 points (out of 100). Hope that helps

  10. Spring 09 Hopefuls

    lavatea replied to TeeRN2Be's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Where are you applying? University of Texas at Tyler What is your GPA and/or points for your school of choice? GPA overall - 3.64 (UTT Core curriculum plus nursing pre-reqs only) GPA on pre-reqs -...

  11. has anyone attende concorde career institute in arlington

    lavatea replied to momma30's topic in Texas Nursing

    I went there. I left after the first 3 months and chose not to return. It wasn't a horrible school but in hindsight it was totally overpriced. The teachers are nice enough but they treat everyone...

  12. Love Pregnancy, Hate Medical OB

    lavatea replied to chaun08's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    I am currently working on getting into a BSN program and my plan is to become a CNM eventually. I have a question based upon my own birthing experience. I am strep B positive (I think that's what it...

  13. transfering to ut tyler

    lavatea replied to woo83's topic in Texas Nursing

    Any idea what the point cut-off was for fall 07 or spring 08? I just applied for fall 08 and am curious if my points are competitive with what has gotten in

  14. LVN/LPN schools in Dallas area

    lavatea replied to Nurse TT's topic in Texas Nursing

    I currently attend Concorde Arlington, and I have a Sallie Mae loan, but I was offered choices. My FA counselor is very helpful and makes sure I understand everything I sign! As for the rest of the...

  15. Graduated from a vocational school?

    lavatea replied to momma2twnz's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    I'm attending a branch of Concorde right now. Not sure if I would pay the $20,000 given another chance, but my biggest reason was to go here was that they had classes starting every 3 months. I...

  16. Concorde

    lavatea replied to Noi_817's topic in Texas Nursing

    That's the boat I'm pretty much in. I work full time (although not 12 hour shifts in a factory - yikes) and it's just really hard to complete the pre-reqs. Can it be done? Sure. I just don't want to...

  17. El Centro - Fall 07 Applicants

    lavatea replied to PreNurseKirk's topic in Texas Nursing

    I do have the pre-reqs for El Centro's LVN program. The main reason why I'm considering Concorde over El Centro for the LVN is that I can start much earlier. El Centro's actually closer to me and much...

  18. Concorde

    lavatea replied to Noi_817's topic in Texas Nursing

    I already have most of my pre-reqs done. For me the choice has come down to finishing the pre-reqs and then waiting (and possibly waiting, waiting, waiting...) to get into a BSN program (or an ADN)...

  19. Alternative Loans - here's what I've found

    lavatea replied to ArkyCCRN's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I saw this on their website, too, and I wonder if maybe they changed the requirements? From reading these posts, it seems as if at some point the Tuition Answer didn't have to be certified, but...

  20. Concorde

    lavatea replied to Noi_817's topic in Texas Nursing

    I met with a rep from Concorde last night, and I'm really pumped about the possibility of starting my career as an LVN. My goal was to go straight to BSN, but I've looked at, and lengthwise (assuming...

  21. How soon after LVN did you start RN???

    lavatea replied to pink2blue1's topic in LPN to RN

    Do any of you have experience with a LVN-RN program taught by a local hospital while you

  22. El Centro - Fall 07 Applicants

    lavatea replied to PreNurseKirk's topic in Texas Nursing

    OH, we were talking about 2 different programs. I feel dumb!! I was talking about the LVN program, not the ADN program.

  23. El Centro - Fall 07 Applicants

    lavatea replied to PreNurseKirk's topic in Texas Nursing

    Where did you find that list or support courses? I can't find it!! Based on the new information, here are my corrected stats: 1) 4.0 (with the Eng. CR) 2) 7 (A&P 2 and Dev. Psych) 3) 4.0 I hope...

  24. El Centro - Fall 07 Applicants

    lavatea replied to PreNurseKirk's topic in Texas Nursing

    I'm considering this option, but I saw in the DCCCD course catalog that there's also a Spring entry to the LVN program. I am very interested in this, but the El Centro website only lists the Fall...

  25. Help!

    lavatea posted a topic in Texas Nursing

    Hi, my name's Amanda and I'm working toward getting into nursing school (I want to get into the BSN program at TWU). I'm short on two pre-reqs (Micro Biology and Chemistry), which I tried to take...
