Has anyone received their acceptance letter yet??

I'm starting on med/surg/tele tomorrow, coming from psych. I'm going to get 8 weeks of orientation, 12 weeks if I need it.

first, let me preface this by saying that it was not an easy task. i graduated in late april and took two weeks off to prepare for the birth of my baby, so i did not study at all during that time. i signed up for hurst online the third day home fro...

Overall they are good. You have some that are outstanding, others that are mediocre. I graduated this past April.

I attended BSHP. I loved the education I received at Baptist. I was accepted the first time I applied. I believe they have 200+ applicants per semester.

The test is very straight forward. You can pretty much rule out 2 questions, which gives you a 50% chance of picking the correct answer. Best of luck to you!

Thank you. Good luck to you!

Thanks, Mommycakers! I did about 1000 questions from Saunders a little less than 2 weeks leading up to NCLEX. Hurst helped me memorize FVE, FVD, electrolyte imbalances, etc. I literally heard Marlene's voice when answering questions. Her lectures...

PVT worked for me as well. Found out I passed at noon:)

Thanks!!!

I passed!!!!! The PVT worked for me, too. I got my results exactly 48 hours after the time I signed up to test. Good luck to those still waiting! These past 48 hours have been quite the challenge.

I took my last test yesterday and received 68%.

I'm hoping that this PVT holds true for me as well:) Took Nclex today and received the "good pop-up" shortly thereafter. Quick results aren't quick enough:/

Just a heads up; everyone in our class who received the work loan was already an employee of Baptist.

I'm a day time student at Baptist, but I have a friend enrolled in the evening program. Lecture is Monday-Thursday from 1800-2100, although they often times get out much earlier. Clinical days are Saturdays from 0645-1845. I know that Mrs. Hernand...

I agree with the pp. You should never assume that a med has been given. ALWAYS check the MAR and any new orders that may have been given over night. The first thing I do when I get to clinicals in the morning is check the patient's chart for any new ...

Reading books that I actually enjoy! Ditto on the house cleaning; my house is so rank right now. I'll be having surgery on the 17th so I have an excuse to sit on my lazy butt and do absolutely nothing!

I live about 94 miles away from the school I attend. I leave my house at 7am to get there by 9am. I leave at 5am on clinical days to get to the hospital by 6:45am. Austin traffic in the morning is a pain! The drive back is so chill and laid back,...

I'm in my first semester of NS, and will be getting married on October 26. I did most of my planning throughout the spring and summer. It is a lot of hard work to plan a wedding, but if you can manage your time accordingly there shouldn't be a prob...

I'm in the RN program at Baptist. Our tuition is about $3800/semester, give or take a few. I believe they awarded 12 out of 70 applicants a work loan that pays for their tuition if they work for Baptist for 2-3 years.

Orientation, as well as hospital day, will be held at the school. I don't think I'm going to do an externship until the last semester of NS. I have a tendency to get too stressed out. Ideally I'd like to go into L&D, but I'm also interested in...

The grading scale for the school I will be attending is OK: A = 90 to 100 B = 80 to 89 C = 76 to 79 D = 70 to 75

Hey girl! Are you pumped for next Wednesday? When I took the CPR class a few months ago I ran into a former BHS student. She said that Baptist favors BHS students over any outsiders, and that you're almost guaranteed an externship with them. She w...

I thought it was 3 Na into the cell and 2 K out?

That's good to know!
