I am new to the school so I can not say for sure, perhaps a graduate will offer some better advice. From what they told me, it is a combination of both your GPA and NET scores that determines who gets...
I am starting nursing school in Aug. What type of stethoscope is good to buy? I work at a vet clinic and we use the Litman (sp?) cardiac 3. I love it and am used to it, but it is a bit pricey. Is...
Ok, I am about to buy my stethoscope. I am torn between the classic II that I think most nursing students get and the cardiac III. I want the cardiac III because the animal hospital I work at uses...

Yes, there is a science part. It is like 10-15 questions. I do not think that part of the test is part of the "grade" they use. They test you on numerous things but it is the reading comprehension...

Does anyone know what supplies we will need for Baptist this fall? I went to in-processing on Tue but there was no mention of needing to buy a stethoscope or anything. Can any graduates give us any...
Thanks! There are a lot of stethoscopes out there! I wish there was a store where I could go and try them all out. Allheart looks like a great website. I have not found a stethoscope yet but I did...
Thanks! I think I am going to do that. I have seen a lot of nurse extern positions open in the hospitals in my area. I am sure my first semester will fly by. Thanks for the great
Hi! I will be in nursing school this fall (should I be accepted!). I was hoping to get a job in a hospital just to get a foot in the door and to gain some experience. I currently have been a vet tech...
Hi There! I was wondering who is applying to the Baptist school of nursing in San Antonio for this fall. Do you know how many people are accepted each semester and what they want in net scores? I was...
My GPA is a 3.6 and I got a 85 on the net. I have been a vet tech for seven years and while I have all kinds of medical experience with animals it does not count or help you when applying (that is...
Did you need any previous training to be a tech? It seems that all the jobs (especially in nurse support) require certification of some kind or at least a years experience. Maybe I should just apply...

Hi! This question is for my husband who is debating between a career in nursing and mortuary science (very different fields, I know!) Are there nurses that work in the morgue or assist in such a...
MusBme, To apply at Baptist you have to take the NET test (nurse enterance test.) You can buy a study guide for about $35.00 or so. It has math, reading comprehension, questions about sentence...
