   I was the last number chosen. I didn't get to choose, so the VA was chosen for me, but that was my second choice behind

3. El Centro Spring Applying to 2011

   diamond350 replied to Alum08's topic in Texas Nursing

   We are kind of in limbo at this point. They will give us an idea during the 3 days of orientation. But from what I understand from past students, the times change during those 8 weeks. I am guessing...

   Requirements for PCT position are usually a CNA license or completion of your first semester of school. You are actually more qualified than a CNA after your first semester of school. CNA cert is only...

   I think the key to getting a job is taking the advice of many people and taking a position as a PCT at a hospital. It is a great way to get your foot in the door, and you may get them to pay for some...

   And I fully plan on being a rockstar, so I'll get the most that ECC has to

7. Brookhaven- Spring 2011

   diamond350 replied to kickymarcia's topic in Texas Nursing

   I would say there are maybe few other reasons, but by no means should this change anyone's opinion. I know that El Centro has a great rapport around the area hospitals. They have been doing this for...

   I got in as well. I also got into El Centro. It is a tough decision, but I have chosen El Centro over Brookhaven. My wife is expecting in March, and I think the schedule for me is much more doable at...

    I haven't heard anything yet. I figured we might get that information on Dec.

    diamond350 replied to kickymarcia's topic in Texas Nursing

    I figured that they would not come until closer to Thanksgiving. I received my acceptance to El Centro already. If I get in at Brookhaven, that will be a tough choice. Hard to choose between the two...

12. El Centro/Northlake Spring 2011

    diamond350 replied to Megan1217's topic in Texas Nursing

    From what I understand regarding registering for classes, is that it is all done for you. Now if you need to still take a support course, that is up to you to register, but as far as nursing specific...

    No, I don't mind sharing my points. I had calculated 17 with overall 96.3 on HESI for any tie breaker. If letters aren't here today, they will probably be in tomorrow. No way everyone gets there...
