I have heard of a CAT (Critical Assessment Team) Call at one hospital. It's essentially the same thing as a Rapid Response Team (RRT).

Since you're in the Houston area and said you might try some of the community colleges, I would also recommend Lone Star. They have a good reputation and you can apply to several of their campuses in one go. Additionally, I hear that Texas City's CC is very supportive of nursing students. Just apply to all of them and see who offers you an acceptance letter -- don't put all your eggs in one basket. (Full disclosure: I am a Lone Star grad from '13 and I did manage to find a hospital job, as have numerous classmates. That said, most plan on going back for their BSN.)

This is my problem too with scrub pants and it took forever for me to find something that works. My best option that I found is the Landau Eased Fit brand. I'm tall and I don't need to order the 'tall' sort of scrubs for them to fit me right, though those are available. They might be worth looking into for you!

$30 is an awesome price. Thank you so much, Tmrine! I'll make sure to check it out. :)

Just out of curiosity, has anyone found a place to do their physical at a reasonable cost? I read through old threads and saw that someone did their physical at a chiropractor's office for an inexpensive amount, but I think Lonestar changed their paperwork since then! Any suggestions are appreciated. Thanks. :)

Yay! I got my letter from Tomball today as well. 11.72 was my score. Congrats to everyone!

Hi, I just wanted to pop my head in and reply to your question, hinayan99. I was having the same issue trying to figure out where to get the eval. I'm not sure if it works the same way at Montgomery, but at Tomball they just printed my evaluation at the advising office for me. I hope this helps! Good luck!
