shawnswife, Wow you tested twice in a few days?? It wouldn't be too bad if we didn't have to retake ALL of the sections each time. Sounds like you did great! Thanks for the info, by the way!! I took...
I work at a hospital as well. They are partnered with El Centro but I am still applying to nursing schools the old fashioned way. I don't want to be committed to work anywhere where I graduate, for...

shawnswife, I am taking my HESI Saturday. Kinda worried about the AP portion more than anything, can you give any advice as far as what areas to study up
Ugh, thats discouraging! My little 21 or 22 points may not make the cut, especially with such a small Spring class ( I heard about 20 or so). If I can get on the alternate list I will be happy,...

Yeah $50 for CPR is about right. Some hospitals offer the classes also, like Baylor and Texas Health Resources. Anyone know another place to take the HESI besides el centro? They are all full; and...
Hi tmmycarson! Glad to hear from someone else who is applying at WC. What are your stats?? I sent out my application packet today. I have a 3.5 GPA and ended up with 20 points. The TEAS test was...
Depending on how much $$ you need to bring in....Apply for a Unit secretary position or tech position, it pays peanuts but the experience will look great on your resume, and the schedules tend to be...
