Yes, I would buy them. You'll need the book and the videos. I never really used the study guide, but there really wasn't an option not to buy it. They're all sold together in a box. Plus, you'll need...

I haven't received my email. I was wondering the same thing. I contemplated sending mine already, but I was scared that they would make me do another background check. I think we have to wait until we...

Somehow the last comment got posted before I could finish it completely, but that's the gist of what she said. I remember thinking it was somewhat odd, because I don't think the transfer guide they...

@ yejin0816 I met with her last fall, and she told me the following: 1. If I wanted to transfer to UT before I had completed clinicals, I would have to take classes over again at UT. - I would have...

That could very well be true. One thing I've always disliked about the program is the lack of solid communication. There is so much conflicting information out there, and quite honestly, it is so...

I've never actually been to the ones in Round Rock. I've heard they are really nice. The Eastview labs are older, but still nice. I'm nervous as well. So much to catch up on and do this summer. Does...

@ hopefulnursestdnt - On my acceptance letter, it said that they were going to send an email on June 18, 2012 with instructions for orientation, background checks, registration, health forms, and...

Hang in there, guys. I know how you feel. It's so hard to judge how they do things from one cycle to the next, but it will happen. Don't lose faith. :) I had to apply three times to finally get an...

@ savvy. f they send out the first round of acceptance letters, and those are only to applicants that have been accepted. about a week or so later, they send out the ranking placement emails with rank...

@ Brooke.acc - I'm so happy it's finally here! Definitely exciting stuff. Hopefully, they will update the site soon to say exactly what day they are going to send them out. I know in the past two...

I understand both of your situations, because I'm in my late thirties. Going back to college has been an enormous financial struggle for me and my family as well. I could kick myself for not doing...

First off, guys, I don't think this is anything new. BSN nurses have always been favored over ADN nurses. I've worked in heathcare for almost 8 years, and even when there was somewhat of a shortage,...

@ pjatx - Who knows. I'm sure it will depend on many variables. I've been told by various nursing instructors and staff that the amount that they accept mostly, if not solely, depends on the amount...
