  1. Advice on area to start?

    chief76 replied to chief76's topic in Operating Room

    Well from what I have gathered so far, it is a nurse tech/internship position. So it sounds like I would be doing the things like you mentioned most of the time, but would also be shadowing quite a...

  2. Advice on area to start?

    chief76 posted a topic in Operating Room

    I am currently in the interview process for an OR nurse tech position. The hospital that I have applied with, uses these positions for nursing students. They start in the summer and then allow PRN...

  3. Process for shadowing an OR nurse?

    chief76 posted a topic in Operating Room

    I am about to start my 3rd semester of nursing school. And actually, the thought of becoming an OR nurse is one of the main reasons I decided to go back to school for my second career. With that being...

  4. Process for shadowing an OR nurse?

    chief76 replied to chief76's topic in Operating Room

    Thank you Rose_Queen. That's kind of what I thought. Some nurses in areas other than the OR suggested I just walk in and shadow. That always seemed sketchy to just allow any old person to come in...

    chief76 replied to Shauntil07's topic in Texas Nursing

    Honestly, you may not find out until orientation at the beginning of the semester. That was a sore subject with a lot of students last semester. People wanted to try and make arrangements with work...

    Has anyone heard how you pick clinical sites in orientation? Just wondering if it goes off preference first, or it's just completely random on who gets

    chief76 replied to Shauntil07's topic in Texas Nursing

    Wow, that's just unacceptable! How can you change a scoring system, yet not tell anyone about it? I'd honestly contact someone higher up at El Centro to see what they have to

    Definitely go up there! They shorted me a point on my test scores too. What is going on with

    chief76 replied to Shauntil07's topic in Texas Nursing

    I just got my letter, accepted at El Centro!! It looks like they only gave me 34 points instead of the 35 I thought. Somehow it shorted me a point on my Hesi scores. At this point I don't even care....

    I'm stuck at work and won't be home until around 5:00. All this suspense is killing

    And I have absolutely no faith in my mail man what so ever. I've been receiving the whole neighborhood's mail for about 2 months now. As I'm sure they have been getting mine

    I very well may lose my mind if I have to wait until

    chief76 replied to Shauntil07's topic in Texas Nursing

    It seems like they always mail them out on that date. But would it kill them to do it a couple days early??

    chief76 replied to Shauntil07's topic in Texas Nursing

    Yes! I just know I am going to get a letter saying, you had enough points but so and so was missing from your app so you have been disqualified. Even though I went over that thing 50 times before I...

    chief76 replied to Shauntil07's topic in Texas Nursing

    I would say that you are probably fine. I believe 27 points has been the cut off the past two semesters. The acceptance letters for spring 2016 come out on Oct 15th. So you will have a little more...

    We're officially at a month from letters going out. The first 6 weeks or so of this wait seemed to go by pretty fast. But it's really starting to drag out

    Hi Lnduke, Did they happen to give you all a schedule? I'm just curious as to the hours for first semester. I'm going to try and convince my bosses to let me work from home or in the afternoons if at...

    chief76 replied to Shauntil07's topic in Texas Nursing

    That really sucks that their approval process takes so long. Or that they wouldn't be able to automatically give you a spot in the next semester. Don't lose determination, you'll make

    chief76 replied to Shauntil07's topic in Texas Nursing

    I applied to both, but my first choice was El Centro. I want to say that El Centro filled up first. I think I remember someone that applied for this fall saying they got into Northlake but it wasn't...
