  1. Brookhaven Nursing Program--Changing?

    kalmeira replied to mbcatac7's topic in Texas Nursing

    The interview process was way unfair. I think it's good they got rid of it. There is no way to tell if someone is going to be a good nurse or not from a 5 minute interview. The way to tell, I think,...

  5. Any Brookhaven CC students?

    kalmeira replied to BabyRN2B_09's topic in Texas Nursing

    Oh don't worry, I think you'll be just fine. Even though your class has more applicants, 33 was like the very high end of the points range for ours, not alot of people had that many points. Also, I...

    kalmeira replied to sitesonRN's topic in General Students

    I might take dart also, from the Spring valley station. I haven't heard about bringing anything, so I guess not, unless you want to take notes or something. Josh, you get community service hours...

  7. What is a tech???

    kalmeira replied to cdquiroz1's topic in Texas Nursing

    They also do things like take vital signs, blood sugars, and can sometimes do simple wound dressing or d/c foleys. Probablly need a CNA certificate or to have completed one semester of nursing...

    kalmeira replied to missi30's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

  16. Any Brookhaven CC students?

    kalmeira replied to BabyRN2B_09's topic in Texas Nursing

  17. Any Brookhaven CC students?

    kalmeira replied to BabyRN2B_09's topic in Texas Nursing

    Actually I believe they did away with the whole interview thing, and the top 40 applicants points-wise get in. The average points required depends on how many applied. I applied for fall 2006 with...
