jazzynurse2b, is it the health department that's offering the CPR? Also, does anyone know if the Heartsaver first aid, plus CPR and AED counts for CPR? It was an eight-hour course through my work...

For those of you who interviewed, when did they say they'd get back to you? I swear the lady who I interviewed with said "2-3 days, I mean a week", but another person said 2-3 weeks, which sounds...

Young'uns! :-D Heh, I looked at my vaccine records (born in '80) and I have others to get, too! I got something like a total of 4 :-P. Luckily, I was worried about the Hep B, so I started it in...

I wouldn't worry too much yet. I know from the other board that they're interviewing for BACC2 on the 16th and the 23rd at a minimum. I don't think they've sent out letters for the 23rd yet, but...

Yeah, I'm completely, totally stoked and very shocked. I had totally given up. So, do y'all know, are they interviewing everyone for the BACC2 then doing the other interviews in the following

Actually, they finally started sending them out last week. I got my interview invite for UTMB on Tuesday and I interview Friday (although I am going for the accelerated program, which I think...

So, 1/3 of all applicants make the interview and 1/3 of those get in... Yeouch! I got my letter this morning, but I hadn't checked it since Saturday, so it could have shown up any day this week....

I took the NET on August 22nd (afternoon, so no fire alarm). I got an 85 reading and a 90 math. As far as GPA's I've got a 3.647 prerequisite, 4.0 science, and 2.994 overall. That 2.994 overall I...

Woohoo! I thought I was completely out, but I got an interview letter. I'm supposed to be there at 11:30 next Wednesday, 9/30. Now, if I can only get out of work, as I also have something that day...

I think for Hep B you need to start TODAY, if not sooner. You can't start clinicals until the whole set is done. I started getting them in late July... Each one will run you about $70 at HEB or...

I sure hope that's right. I have 192 hours, so raising my GPA at this point is practically impossible. I wonder when they'll send out their second round of interview invitations (or if they will at...

*sigh*... I don't get it. UT finally evaluated my transcripts and they're showing different grades than I am. Still showing a 4.00 for science, but it's showing a 3.6470 for nursing prerequisitites...

OK, I emailed about the transcript evaluation. My last name starts with a 'D', but my maiden name starts with an 'M' and for some reason that's what they've got me listed under, even though I've...
