I heard the TX BON updates the website on Tuesdays and Thursdays. So I would think your license will be posted today or Thursday.

Yes, that's the one!!!

I want to share my experience with others. I could not afford $400-$500 on a review course. I used the Hurst review book ($50) - great for content summaries. Lippincotts "NCLEX Made Incredibly Easy" and Hesi's "NCLEX Review" (bought both early on du...

That absolutely does not work. In fact my review book advised against that. Get it narrowed down to two and then work from there.

Thanks. I am right around 300 applications in Dallas. Thanks for the encouragement.

Google NCLEX 3500. There is a link to a community college NCLEX 3500. There are hundreds of SATA questions. I feel they really helped me prepare.

I did 200 questions a day. It was very time consuming but worth it.

I did the content review first- which for me was reading the Hurst book first, then did practice questions. My final day of studying I went through a smaller book to refresh and reinforce what I had been studying. Occasionally I would take notes from...

2005 - that has been a really long time. Since so much time has passed I really recommend a review course. You will probably need a strong structured review. You should take it sooner than later, in my opinion. Yes the exam updates every 3 years. Sin...

Some schools place more weight on the entrance exam - so as long as you meet the minimum, you might be okay. Depends on the admission requirements.

ADN program at Brookhaven College!!! Whoot whoot!!!

Apply to both and go where you get accepted.

No, as long as they are the same courses needed, then they will be fine.

I have looked again at TTU. , TWU, and UTT. I want to do leadership and use my MBA eventually. I hope to do clinical nursing for about five years only.

Same here! Later after getting your RN, you can look into RN-MSN programs, rather than BSN (if that is the route you want to take). There are a few in Texas. I want to say that UTMB has an RN-MSN program. Your bachelor's degree can be in anything...

My shot record is on my high school transcript.

You will already have most of these if you went to public schools in Texas.

Hi, does anyone have any suggestions for getting money for school. I am looking to apply for scholarships. I am no longer eliglbie for federal financial aid (grants) as I have already earned a bachelor's and master's degree. I can't do a second de...

The cost for the entire program is approximately $8,500. Most of the costs are paid during the first semester. I am paying out of county costs - so that is why I am paying a little more. I live in the "city" but not the "county."

thanks for all of your suggestions. i just applied at one of the local hospitals. one of the recruiters told me that i would be eligible for tuition reimbursement on my first day. so i am hoping that works out. several of y'all have asked why i do...

Yes!!! Everything is squared away with my courses. There is one school in the area that does not have a time limit on courses. I just had to do well enough on my A&P section of the Hesi A2 (I scored a 96). I also have a lot of advanced science...

lol. when i got my mba it changed nothing as far as pay goes. not all industries pay well like nursing. although i do think an mba will help me after i get my rn license. the community college that i will be attending costs approximately $4,000 fo...

Thank you! I will check into that. I checked with the college and all of their awards must be approved by the financial aid office and my EFC will not be low enough.

I can't wait to get started!!!!!
