   Yes, I did the background check a few days after I accepted their offer. I am scheduled to go to the hospital on 1/15 for all the HR and immunization stuff. Have you scheduled your appointment yet?

2. El Centro vs Mountain View

   chief76 replied to graice's topic in Texas

   I agree. I'm two weeks from graduating the El Centro program and I wouldn't recommend it to anyone. It is beyond unorganized. Every semester we fill out a survey as to what is wrong and every semester they continue to do the same thing. I'm not real ...

   I felt like it went pretty well. Everyone was really nice. However, they said they probably won't make a decision for another couple weeks. I'll be keeping my fingers crossed. Have you heard anything back yet?

   The dean was also recently on vacation. That may have something to do with it also.

   I have been very impressed with everyone who works in Temple. They seem like they have a great group of nurses and managers there. My interview isn't until the 25th. Hopefully all goes well.

    chief76 replied to chief76's topic in Texas

    They are pretty general. Why you want to be a nurse, what specialty interests you most, talk about a time you had a difficult patient, how you multitask, etc. I think there are 6 questions in all. You can literally re-record it as many times as you w...

    They may be. I applied to a different specialty, so that may have something to do with it. I know of a person that graduated with her ADN about a year ago and works with one of the Dallas locations in the ED. So it's definitely worth a shot!

    chief76 replied to chief76's topic in Texas

    I received an email from each location. It's difficult with an ADN, without working at one of the facilities, at least in Dallas. However, I was really impressed with Temple. I went to their New Grad Expo. Hopefully I will get called for an interview...
