Yeah I was talking with a lady that I work with today and she was telling me that Baylor only accepted BSN! I currently work for THR but am looking into the Pediatric side and would love to work at...

Yes that girl was very rude but like many others have said there is some truth to it! Yes you can get hired on even at some big hospitals if you are going into the BSN program! I work at a THR...

Yes I am getting very anxious and nervous about the letters going out myself! I know where my points are but am also really uneasy because of the new points system and not knowing how it's going to...
damon.street replied to nursingjourney's topic in Texas Nursing
She had 30 points when we applied I believe! I applied with 33 points myself so I really hope it's enough to get in!! It seems as though the points on here at least are ranging from 30 - 34 or so! Hey...

I myself applied to both WC and WCWC campuses with the WCWC campus being my first choice! I currently live in Keller so it really doesn't matter which campus I get into as long as I get in!! Was an...
damon.street replied to nursingjourney's topic in Texas Nursing
Well I'm sure all of us that are one here are going to get in and get a spot at one of the campuses!! That's why we're on here right? To answer each others questions and find out as much info as we...

Well I figured one of us had to take one for the team and it seems like I was the only one that hadn't so far lol!! Yeah I don't see any new information coming out of it except for maybe exactly when...

"Letters should go out around mid-May. Ms. Livengood just started looking at the applications this week. Sorry, but we do not give out the points until after letters have been mailed." That is the...

Just wanted to let everybody know that I took one for the team and did email KL this morning to see if we could get any updates on when letters should go out and what the points look like! I will let...

I applied for the WCWC as my first choice and applied with 33 points! I had a four point drop off myself because of the new scoring system! Trying to not drive myself crazy
damon.street replied to nursingjourney's topic in Texas Nursing
So maybe somebody here could help me out in answering a question! After the first semester of clinical I'm going to be looking for a Care Tech job preferably in the field of pediatrics, any ideas? I...
damon.street replied to nursingjourney's topic in Texas Nursing
Yeah I was wondering the same thing about them extending the deadline but am hoping since they already extended it so much that they won't extend it anymore because it seems as though all of us have...

From what I remember from sitting through orientation last time, the cost of books and supplies for the first semester is somewhere around $2000 for those fortunate ones that do get

Yeah the cutoff for Wise County was 32 last semester because I was 31 and was an alternate for Wise that semester. Yeah it would be quite a drive but after waiting for a couple of years I will take...
damon.street replied to nursingjourney's topic in Texas Nursing
Yes JLT5 I do also live in Keller over off 377 and North Tarrant so either campus would be somewhat of a drive for myself. I did apply to both campuses but I put down the Wise County campus as my...

I just got an email back from KL and she said that as of right now 33 points looks competitive but she also has nothing to compare it to since this is the first time of them using this scoring system....
damon.street replied to nursingjourney's topic in Texas Nursing
Yeah hopefully that 6-8 week waiting period goes by really quick! I turned in my packet yesterday with 33 points and she said that was still a very competitive number! Even though there was a HUGE...

Yeah I was talking about the online skills tutor and it helped me a ton surprisingly! Of course I hadn't taken an English or Science course in a couple of years so it may have just been more brushing...

Whew I can breathe a little easier now! I just finished taking my TEAS again and scored an 82 this time which will put me at 33 points! Going to turn in my app tomorrow if the weather permits and I...
damon.street replied to nursingjourney's topic in Texas Nursing
Oh yeah I felt a lot better about the old point system also. How are you on points JLT5 if I may ask? I am only sitting at 30 right now which seems sort of low cause I was an alternate for the Fall...
damon.street replied to nursingjourney's topic in Texas Nursing
Is it just me or does it not seem like as many people are posting this semester as they did in the last semesters? Maybe that means that not as many people are applying for the program this time...
