I received about 18,000 in financial aid not including the scholarships I got (about 4,000 additional). As far as working on the weekends, it's almost impossible to do that the first semester b/c it's so intense. I do know that some people worked sum...

For the stethoscope question: buy a littmann or MDF. Those two brands were the ones that we all had. I personally had MDF b/c I think it was cheaper and it works great. Never tried a Littmann so I can't say anything about that one, but it's popular t...

Nbrown82 did a great job of answering your question, onewin77. I agree that this program isn't for everyone, but honestly I'm SO glad I did it this way! Either way in nursing school you're going to have to give up some portion of your previous fun li...

Ours started Tuesday, January 17th so the next starting day will probably be Tuesday, January 15th. Just a guess though!

The first semester is classroom, lab, and clinical. I think we always had one day off per week though. That was for doing all of the online assignments. Like for instance, one class will be worth 6 hours but you are only in class for 3 so you are exp...

We are all so excited to meet y'all during the interview. One piece of advice I can give...make yourself known and stand out on interview day. Another piece of advice...find people you click with and build relationships from day 1! I met three people...

You can go onto the American Heart Association website heart.org and search for BLS for healthcare providers.

You only apply to NursingCAS.

You do get to pick your campus, but not the hospitals you rotate at. Although for this last semester if you were in Cinco Ranch you got a Katy hospital instead of Sugar Land so that was cool. For the Nursingcas question, send it to them only. And eve...

Don't be discouraged!! Unfortunately you are unlikely to get anyone's response quickly since we are starting a brand new semester on Monday. It's so hectic at this time! Keep trying...don't give up!

What is your overall GPA Kekebrwn?? I know it says Cumulative 3.0 on the website, but I got in! So I will encourage you all to still apply. I didn't ask how I got in, whether it was my NursingCAS statement, science GPA, or my amazing personality (hah...

Definitely apply! I had a 2.91 GPA but my science GPA was 3.66....I had a 79% on my TEAS (I think!) and I got in!! If you get an interview, work your butt off to make them notice you! It worked for me!

Send what you have if you have it. I didn't get CPR certified til I knew I got in in December. I however, did have my immunizations so I sent that in. I'd start the immunizations and send what you have if it asks for it.

ABSN hopefully, The NCLEX rate that people are seeing (I haven't even looked or seen it) isn't the real pass rate. Dr. Tart, the dean of the school, explained it to us that since they graduate in December and take NCLEX January - March then some peop...

I'm currently in the 2012 graduating class...if anyone has any questions, I'll be here to help! Good luck everyone!

Anyone know what date 2012 graduation will be on? I'm trying to fill out scholarships and it wants a specific date! HELP! Thanks all :)

@CookieTL - I live in Sealy so that's 20-25 minutes west of Katy. Sugar Land is 45 minutes or longer from me so it's just for convenience.

@NBrown82 - I did the FAFSA and applied for scholarships. I need to be advised apparently and fill out a Post Baccalaureate Certification Form. Since I'm attending the Cinco Ranch campus, I'm emailed Heather Kight for more information about that.

So when we do enroll, we'll enroll straight to Cinco Ranch campus? I need to see a councelor about financial aid and I don't know whether I need to see someone in Sugar Land or Cinco Ranch! So many new adventures ahead!!

Sciencegirl...Good luck on your decision making! I only applied to UHV so I didn't have any decisions to make!

I received my acceptance email earlier as well! Congrats to all...I'll be attending Cinco Ranch campus. Was anyone in the black group?

I am tremendously grateful for all of the insight about the upcoming interview process. I just found this forum today as I was preparing for Monday. See you all there! Good luck :)
