    4.0 gpa a myth?

    Fun2 replied to tea_leaf's topic in Texas Nursing

    I got turned down with a 3.77, and reapplied with a 4.0 to get accepted. So, at the time at DCCCD's El Centro/North Lake, there wasn't a 4.0 myth. I do believe the GPA requirement as gone way down...

    Opinions on UT Southwestern OR in Dallas

    Fun2 replied to RN34TX's topic in Operating Room

    I love it at UTSW...either campus, in the OR! I definitely recommend it! The staffing is adequate....they are needing some for the later shifts at Zale, but that's why they are hiring more staff...
