No matter where you work/go to school your gonna have "complainers". And the sad thing is, they will probably be that way as nurses too. That is their problem though, just focus on yourself and I know...
Great post, and bravo on #10! Im a 31 yr old pre nursing student with a FT job, 2 kids, and a husband so I know its gonna be tough. I applaud you for getting your education while you have few...
Hey guys, I'm just wanting to hear from any alternates and how you coped with the daily anxiety!! Waiting for that phone to ring is tough!! I'm an alternate for a nursing program and its killing me!!...
Does anyone know details about the transcript requirement? Will a solid HS diploma suffice? I dropped out of HS because I got pregnant, but then a year later I went back to a adult school to finish...
Just a shot in the dark that you still check this thread...so you got called for the RN program at the last minute? Were you a alternate? I applied for spring 2014 with 21 points and was not accepted...
In past posts, Ive seen people say they got accepted with 22 points. I still need to take the critical thinking portion of the HESI, but if I do well Id be applying with 21 points. That doesn't seem...

I was in the very back, by all the 2013 grads. Honestly I don't think the book deal is that bad. Plus its a package so no looking for books one by one. I would do book only though, not electronic,...
Lol, your telling me!! I feel like we all walked in there like "nursing school orientation, whoop whoop!!", and walked out with a dear in headlights look I was talking about it to the nurses I work...
Hi! Ive been a PCT in pp for almost a year now. My advice is go to your interview with lots of smiles and a good attitude. Stress what a hard worker and fast learner you are, and how you can be a big...
Hi! Now that the packets are out and the deadline is fast approaching, I thought Id start a feed for the Spring 2014 class. After taking my HESI the max points I will have is 29. The new system is 40...
Hi guys! I too am thinking of applying for the Fall 2014 class. The mountain view website says the HESI and critical thinking both need to be done at MV. Is that true, or can I use my hesi scores from...
Texas Health presby flower mounds pays above average (I work there). Other Texas Health Resources hospitals are good too; texas health HEB is close to the airport. Baylor is a "brand name" hospital,...
