    Khor - Check out allheart.com and medicalscrubmall.com. They have cargo pants at reasonable prices. I even saw some on Amazon. I'm a fan of cargo pants myself so I feel your

    Thanks for the information! I am shopping around and will probably start making some purchases

    jls0459 replied to jls0459's topic in School, College Programs

    I've been reluctant to buy anything for school since I don't want to end up with something I don't need. Will scrubs be available to purchase at orientation or will it just be the smaller items, like...

    So class is Monday and Tuesday on campus, then clinicals are Wed-Fri. Or are clinicals only on one of the three days and we just have to see which day we are assigned? Sorry for all of the questions,...

    Does anyone know if they will send us our class/clinical assignments when they send out the acceptance letters? I'm curious to know what day(s) we have

    Congrats on doing so well on your test! I agree that the AP for Dummies workbook wasn't enough for the AP section of the test. If I had to test again, I would try to look for a book that focused...

    I imagined there were a lot of applicant since they let everyone with 9 priority points take the test. I think everyone will feel a bit better ice the cut off is posted and we know what we're dealing...

    jls0459 replied to jls0459's topic in School, College Programs

    I'm not sure that the cut off would be below 70 since it is the posted minimum for the test, but I suppose it is possible. I would think they would just accept fewer students rather than take...

    I actually asked the woman in the business office when I went in to pay for my test. She had the list of students in front of her and I asked her how many were on it and she counted in front of me. It...

    The cut off last year was a 73%, but they also only tested 60

    jls0459 replied to jls0459's topic in School, College Programs

    I'm also very nervous. I didn't do as well as I thought I would on the AP section and that brought my overall score down. I don't even want to post what I made, but it was definately over the cut off...

    I know they also try to group people in regards to where they live for their clinicals so that people who live in Lewisville aren't driving all the way to Gainsville, instead of Denton. Hopefully...

    jls0459 replied to jls0459's topic in School, College Programs

    I'm hoping that they send out a schedule or at least blocks of time that we will be in class when they send out acceptance letters. My employer is willing to work with my schedule, but I need to let...

    I agree with Khor on Micro being the hardest of those four classes. I took Chem at UNT several years ago then AP I/II during summer sessions at NCTC. The summer classes weren't easy since they...

    You will handle a kidney and a cat in AP II, but everything else is models or slides. It also is one cat that is already dissected - everyone doesn't get their own cat to handle. Doc is FANTASTIC...

    Congrats on getting your letter! Perhaps I will see you on the 25th! I haven't taken any of the online classes for AP or Micro, but I did take them at NCTC. I took API/APII during the summer at the...

    jls0459 replied to jls0459's topic in School, College Programs

    I don't think they give any points outside of what is listed on the priority points page, but you can ask at the information session. I think where there will be beneficial is if you plan to do the...

    I have a lunch and a break period that I can use to study. The weekends are a bit slower as well so I can sneak in some study time then. Most everyone I work with is in school for something so we are...

    Do you think it is possible to work full time while going to nursing school? My current schedule is a 7on/7off shift and I work evenings. I'm not in a position where I can stop working and I'm...

    jls0459 replied to jls0459's topic in School, College Programs

    I checked the site this morning and there is a big red note that says they are still processing applications, but will be testing anyone with at least 9 priority points. It looks like I need to start...
