  1. El Centro Spring 2015

    CSTtoRN replied to mikemeyer09's topic in Texas Nursing

    I was told it is good for a year. I used mine to apply for Spring to the El Centro/THR partnership and the fall traditional program. I didn't get in for Fall because that gave me 26 points instead of...

  2. Yes, another post about waiting on that special letter!!!

    CSTtoRN replied to Lolachyme2014's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Our deadline was Feb 28th and mine should be here tomorrow! It is killing me! I would go crazy if I had gotten several things from them! Did they give you a timeline of when to expect to

  3. Are Hospitals hiring RN's with an Associates?

    CSTtoRN replied to AlishaW's topic in Texas Nursing

    Have you considered trying for one of the 2nd degree BSN programs? A lot of schools have those and accelerated BSN programs. Good luck with whichever you

  4. 30+ club! Lets do this together.

    CSTtoRN replied to alynn's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Hopefully so! I'll let you know. I'm a surgical technologist and work weekend nights so I often have a lot of down time to do school work which is nice. I also tend to study after the kids are in bed...

  5. 30+ club! Lets do this together.

    CSTtoRN replied to alynn's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Just recently turned 30, married with a 2.5 yr old and a 10 month old. I will find out this coming week if I am accepted to an ADN program. So ready to get started and done! It's nice to know that I...

  7. El Centro/Methodist Dallas Fall 2014

    CSTtoRN replied to sdr0123's topic in Texas Nursing

    Dang, I was hoping to be able to accept and then give up my spot because I'd rather get in the THR program. I just don't want to take the chance if I get in to the traditional program, then give up my...

  8. Fall acceptance letters 2014

    CSTtoRN replied to rnjacqui's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I applied to El Centro in Dallas. The deadline was Feb 28th and we still won't find out until after May 15th. The wait is killing

  9. El Centro Spring 2015

    CSTtoRN replied to mikemeyer09's topic in Texas Nursing

    Yes, I took mine at Prometric both times. I don't know about it having to be in Texas necessarily but if it's the correct version I don't see why you couldn't. You'd need to ask about out of

  10. El Centro/Methodist Dallas Fall 2014

    CSTtoRN replied to sdr0123's topic in Texas Nursing

    I posted before asking about where it said you can't apply to both, although I'm at THR. The packet has to basically be the same and if y'all have to initial a lot of places says specifically that you...

  11. Which specialty would you like to end up in?

    CSTtoRN replied to baseball mom's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm a surgical technologist now so probably the OR but I'm very interested in L&D

  12. A&P or Micro?

    CSTtoRN replied to Amylovesnursing's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    The schools I have attended require you take A&P 1 and 2 first. One would let you take A&P 2 at the same time as Micro though. I'd definitely take A&P 1 first and like the other poster...

  13. Taking Microbiology with A&P1 vs. with A&p2

    CSTtoRN replied to vroh's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    A lot of schools in my area require that you take A&P 1 before Micro and also you either have to take A&P 2 at the same time or before Micro. I'm in Texas, so I don't how other areas are. They...

  14. Will I ever get into nursing school? El Centro or Concorde Career College in Dallas,

    CSTtoRN replied to Ambitious83's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  15. Will I ever get into nursing school? El Centro or Concorde Career College in Dallas,

    CSTtoRN replied to Ambitious83's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm actually done with the prereqs but retook some classes this semester that had expired. 2 classes isn't bad at all. I totally understand the waiting sucks. I work for THR and had applied for their...

  16. Will I ever get into nursing school? El Centro or Concorde Career College in Dallas,

    CSTtoRN replied to Ambitious83's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I totally understand the waiting and stuff. I just know that's a lot of debt to start off with and not make a lot of money. I'm actually a Certified Surgical Technologist working on getting into El...

  17. Will I ever get into nursing school? El Centro or Concorde Career College in Dallas,

    CSTtoRN replied to Ambitious83's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I personally would not spend the money to go to place like Concorde or Dallas Nursing Institute. I don't know how much those programs are specifically but I know people who owe $30,000 for not even...

  18. El Centro/Methodist Dallas Fall 2014

    CSTtoRN replied to sdr0123's topic in Texas Nursing

    I know this is the thread for the Methodist partnership but I work for THR and was planning to apply for both. Where did y'all find out or see that you can only apply for one or the

  20. El Centro Spring 2015

    CSTtoRN replied to mikemeyer09's topic in Texas Nursing

    Good to know! Thanks! Are you taking it online or in person and is it at El Centro? That's the only one of the RN to BSN classes that I don't

  21. Non-traditional Nursing Hopefuls

    CSTtoRN replied to BeachsideRN's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'll be 30 in May, am married, and have a 2 yr old and 8 month old. I'm hoping to start an ADN program in the Fall. I graduated with an AAS in Surgical Technology in 2009. I have been working as a...

  23. El Centro Spring 2015

    CSTtoRN replied to mikemeyer09's topic in Texas Nursing

    Have you thought about taking them online through UTA? We have pretty good tuition reimbursement and I have taken a lot of courses that way. I've made As in everything but Stats and Chem so far. You...

  24. Online Chemistry

    CSTtoRN replied to 1soon2brn's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I took Chemistry online at UT Arlington. It was hard in my opinion. You have to purchase a lab kit and perform the labs at home. Can't remember his name but it started with a T and he is the only...

  25. THR ( Texas Health Resources )/ El Centro ADN program Fall 2013

    CSTtoRN replied to trini_rn2be's topic in Texas Nursing
