Finally found out I got accepted into the FNP program at Houston. Here goes nothing!

Also, every position I applied for(other than UTMB) required 1-2 years of nursing experience. I applied to four places total. If you take UTMB out of the equation I got interviews for the other three positions. I was offered 2 out of the 3. So don't ...

Proudblood, are you going to be applying in the Houston area? 5 out of my seven years was 911 experience so I know that helped me out. I don't think it would have helped me out so much if imworked on a transfer truck all of those years running the BS...

It had nothing to do with being an HCA hospital. My girlfriend works for an HCA hospital and has been there three years. It just had to do with the drive being further than I wanted and getting a job closer to home that paid over $3 more an hour not ...

I'd say HCA, Tenet, and Christus hospitals. It seemed like all of the Hermanns, St. Lukes, and Methodist hospitals wanted BSNs. I had the most call backs from HCA hospitals, but also have 7 years of paramedic experience which may have helped. I didnt...

I graduated in December 2010 with my associates RN. If you want to work in the medical center I suggest getting your BSN because thats what most seem to be requiring or going with. I applied at St. Lukes and got the thanks but no thanks letter. I re...

Well FML that was a hard test. I got all 265 questions. Completely mindtarded right now. When i pressed next on #75 and saw question #76 pop up I may have said the F word out loud. Not sure because I had the sound proof headphones on. Got home and wa...

A)I am curious to know what a competitive GPA is. I know the higher the better, but what is the normal competitive range? B)Also, for medical and dental school certain application systems are used. From what research I have done, it does not appear ...

I know this has been answered but I was unable to find any threads in a search. What scores should I feel comfortable with on practice exams? I just took practice exam A and made a 71. I am taking Part B tonight after I look over a few things and w...

I have their study guides and attend their "classes" in person. Their classes have start and finish dates. All NC classes are six weeks and eight to ten weeks for A&P and Micro. We do not have assignments other than reading the chapter before cl...

I completely agree. I am in the same boat. I wish I would have just bought the books. The tutorials are worthless in my opinion. They got me for $8,000!

I signed with them and can not stand them. I DO NOT recommend them. They get you to sign and have zero customer service. They will not send me my books fast enough and I have resorted to ebay using other publishers even though they have me for roug...

NC3 Jan 31st at 1:00 PM. Wish me luck!

Do not sign with any of them. They all go through Excelsior and cost you an arm and a leg for nothing. I made this mistake($8,000) and wish I would have done some research. I bought two College Network guides on Ebay today for 65 bucks shipped. They...

I ended up buying both! I guess I will use studygroup as my study guide and follow the notes after going through the study guide and before the test. Thanks everyone.

So any more opinions on which is better? I am looking to finish each remaining test in 2-4 weeks.

I am using the Distance Learning Systems study material. It is just the condensed information from the text books. I would just rather not use the text books at all. That is one reason I paid all of this money. Each one of their books is still 200-40...

Has anyone passed the tests by using one or the other only? I got suckered into signing with Distance Learning Systems of Indiana(I DO NOT recommend them), but would like something else to study. DLS sends you one book per "tutorial" you are register...

Texas here! I've never heard of any problems.

I am a Paramedic. I am about to take the NC1 and Microbiology tests through EC. I am testing the week after Thanksgiving. I start NC3 on 12/06/07. Hopefully everything goes well and I finish by next year. I am doing NC1-NC7, Microbiology and A&P ...

Congrats! I have finished and am about to test for NC1 and Micro. I hope to knock out NC2-7 ASAP and take A&P while waiting for the CPNE. Any words of advice?

I have worked in EMS for the last four years. I have been a Paramedic for two of those years. I love EMS and enjoy every minute of it for the most part. The pay sucks and the hours get to you. I am at work more than I am home. I average 3-4 24 hours ...
