    CSTtoRN replied to Gabyb's topic in Texas Nursing

    You will be in this position before you know it! It flies by! It's really busy and be prepared for lots of last minute changes. They're technically the same program but I really don't know how it...

    CSTtoRN replied to Gabyb's topic in Texas Nursing

    Hi! I'm in 3rd semester ECC program and I would suggest not taking Micro or A&P or really any other course other than what you're taking for nursing school. I can barely keep up with the studying,...

  8. Does the El Centro bridge nursing program accept graduating high school seniors?

    CSTtoRN replied to Chiwuis's topic in Texas Nursing

    I only know of the LVN-RN bridge program and you already need to be an LVN to do that one. You can become an RN through their ADN program and then transfer to get your Bachelor's. You cannot go...

  9. Spring 2016 El Centro College/ NLC ADN

    CSTtoRN replied to Shauntil07's topic in Texas Nursing

    Most of the points seem to come from high HESI scores (I think the highest was 12 points) and the RN-BSN additional courses (I think you can get 14 from those). Also, if you've taken the HPRS classes...

    CSTtoRN replied to Shauntil07's topic in Texas Nursing

    I'm in 3rd semester and I bought the book package last Fall that is ebooks and actual books and it was $1800. It was $1500 for only ebooks. I personally don't like the ebooks other than for when I'm...

  11. Spring 2016 El Centro College/ NLC ADN

    CSTtoRN replied to Shauntil07's topic in Texas Nursing

    I'm in 3rd semester now. They only offer something extra if almost all the class fails a test is all I have seen and that was only one time in 2nd semester. I have never seen any extra credit. If you...

  12. Is nursing school really "that" bad?

    CSTtoRN replied to Nurseades2b's topic in General Students

    If you're not working, single, and no kids then I think you've got this. I agree with others that said taking out loans isn't the best idea. I'm in 3rd semester, have worked 36hrs a week plus call...

    CSTtoRN replied to Shauntil07's topic in Texas Nursing

    I can't remember the total other than it being several hundred but many get disqualified because they aren't compliant with sentryMD, are missing something from their application, etc. Yes, it is 60...

  14. How to study for first nursing school exam?

    CSTtoRN replied to Student2017555's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I'm sorry, I know hard that can be. It's so hard to know what to expect and the first one of the semester is always the hardest. Now that you know what to expect hopefully it will help you with your...

    CSTtoRN replied to stephey's topic in General Students

    You can do it! I just started 3rd semester and I have an almost 4 yr old and a 2 yr old plus I work 36hrs a week. You won't be working and have plenty of support so I think you will do just fine. Good...

  16. Working full time as a nursing student?

    CSTtoRN replied to SarahLuihn's topic in General Students

    I agree that everyone is different and it depends on what you can handle, time management skills, support from family, etc. I just started 3rd semester and have and will continue to work 36hrs a week....

  17. NCLEX for the 3rd time--FAILED

    CSTtoRN replied to Jeny16's topic in General Students

    I'm so sorry I'm only starting 3rd semester but could it be messing you up by using too many sources? I have heard many people that have taken it say to stick to 2 at most. You say you review but are...

  22. Anyone using ebooks exclusively?

    CSTtoRN replied to thecrankycamel's topic in General Students

    We were given the option of packages that were either ebooks only or a combo. The ebooks only package was about $300 or $400 cheaper. I paid $2000 just for books. That isn't including my tuition, ATI,...

    CSTtoRN replied to HopeThruFaith's topic in General Students

    It sounds like you are starting a concept curriculum program. I'm in 1st semester of a concept curriculum and that is what we have. We were given an option of either only ebooks or ebooks and print...
