No they didn't that's why I didn't accept the spot needed time to research my options before I gave up my classes.

I agree with pp. have many interviews lined up if ur coming all this way. I've known ppl that have gotten hired in SA from out of state with out a face to face, anyway I like Corpus lots of things to do but Christus is a low paying company compared to others. At least in San Antonio they r. Good luck!!!

They didn't accept my credits from Wayland baptist but maybe u'll have better luck. Talk to the advisor she's pretty nice and helpful!!

I no longer go there!! But even if you wanted to go there which I advise against, they are not accepting students into the nursing program anymore. They lost their privileges until they get to an 80% nclex pass rate. Janderson111 I'm going with baptist health, their pass rate is the best even though it's an ADN. UIW has an adcap program that I'll do my BSN through. I think baptist has a RN-BSN bridge program now so I'll figure it out when I get there. Just ticked about Wayland & their screwed up teaching methods. How's it going for u?

Baptist health in San Antonio is only like $24,000 if you take prereqs with them. If you have your prereqs done which I think you do then it's $19,000 I believe. It's on their website. As for the the school I think it's number one in San Antonio for the best nclex ADN pass rate so it prepares you pretty well. Ppl that I know who go there love it!! I'm transferring for the fall 2014 from a BSN program. I was accepted for the spring but I had to take time to cover all my bases but I think this is my choice. I also applied to sac but bshp seems like a better fit for me. Good luck!! Don't worry about teas it's over rated

I'm an ER tech and I'm not an EMT. I'm a medical assistant. I also have my CNA but have never used it, I've always worked in clinics as an MA. I just got hired about 3 months ago so I'm new at it but the only difference for me is foleys, starting IV's and a whole lot of CPR, oh and fighting patients lol. I did pediatrics for 10yrs in nice calm clinics. The other techs I work with are emt basics, one paramedic and one CNA. They sent here to EKG and phlebotomy classes. What they did with me since Ma's get EKG and phlebotomy training they tested me on what I knew, what I didn't know they taught me with the hospital educator. Like foleys MA's don't do that or IV's. Then I got signed off during my shifts by the charge nurse. You should ask around. That CNA that's in our ER was housekeeping before going to the ER as a tech. She asked what she needed, got her CNA worked upstairs then used the hospital tuition assistance to get certified in EKG and phlebotomy & the hospital taught her the rest. At least you have some medical background. You'll probably need EKG and phlebotomy. Look into what your hospital hires in the ER, you'll be surprised I was when they hired me with only MA experience. Most hospitals here only hire military medics, emts or CNA's with 3yrs ER experience. I worked with medics on base but as an MA. Hope this helps good luck!!

It usually takes awhile for that blue card. Where I went for my scan they filled out & gave me the original form that I took in with me to show the school that I actually did it. You'll prolly get in soon if it's been a couple weeks.

What do u mean kmoc? Angelicalvn2rn I think I might need to do that. They said they're flexible so maybe it will work if I don't schedule myself the night before clinicals so I can be there on time

Thanks George!! I'm 7pm-7am so it will interfere with clinicals if clinicals start at 6:30 I'll be all tired in class but clinicals is what was worrying me!!

Yes but I just started working night shift due to my hubby getting laid off so now I'm stuck deciding if the schedule will work for me I have to let them know by the end of today

Hey guys have any of you got the schedule yet?

Thanks for the info!! I'm not really a test taker but I like the no lecture part lol. I also have a family & a full time job but clinicals are 3hrs away. So that's my biggest issue right now. I also hate the whole 2.5yrs. I already took so many pre req's & to have to do 6 more months ughhh. Again thanks for the info!!

Thank you guys so much for the advice!! I've been going back and forth with this. I would hate to have to pay for that NCLEX more then once. Then like y'all said there goes more time and money.
