NurseWinn - how did NCLEX go? Sorry for the delayed reply. I asked for cardiac/telemetry; my original choice was critical care but they said they weren't hiring residents for that right now so I had to pick a second choice. The interview was fine, bu...
For those of us waiting on phone interviews.. I just got a call about mine, and am scheduled for tomorrow afternoon! Anyone who already interviewed, what kinds of questions did they ask? I have one more question - I am taking NCLEX in a few weeks for...
NurseWinn, I'm also out of state and will be doing a phone interview... the lady who called me last week said they would contact me later to schedule it. Good luck to you with your long-distance job search! I think it definitely is harder.
It went really well - this was with the HR recruiter, but she said she'd recommend me for an interview with the unit manager, so now I get to wait to hear back from them. :)
Hey there! It's nice to know there are other people in the same situation as I am! I'm a new grad and have a phone interview this afternoon for my dream job at a hospital in another state where I am moving in a few weeks. I will definitely be utilizi...

Were you able to log in to E-Res already? I wasn't sure when we could get on, or how to get the password. I also can't wait to find out clinical info! Oh well, only a week and a half until stuff starts...

I got my packet from the school last week, and am now registered for classes!! I have a question for any of the current students at UTHSCSA - how important is it to buy the recommended books? I was looking at the textbook list, and there's a ton that...

Yeah, I'm worried about it too. I really don't want to have to pay another $45 to get it done again, though. And we shouldn't have to, since the background check isn't any different from school to school! I wrote my letter to the BON today - I just l...

Well, I kind of went through the same process as you did. The first time I went to the school they said call the BON, so they could send something to the school, but the lady at the BON said the only thing they send is the postcard, to the student, w...

I'm not doing the background check again... I talked to UTHSCSA and to someone at the Board of Nursing, and they said I just have to send a letter to notify the BON of my change of schools. I have my postcard that the BON sent saying that my check wa...

It is the AHA CPR for Healthcare Providers that we need - you might be able to do Red Cross (I think theirs is called CPR for the Professional Rescuer) but I had called the school and they said the AHA one was fine. I got my certification last year a...

I'm new to allnurses.com, and this has been great to learn more about UTHSCSA - I'm also waiting for my letter! Have any of you heard anything about how UTHSCSA and Incarnate Word's nursing programs compare? I got in at UIW, and if I get accepted at ...
