Hello all, Which would you rather do if benefits and pay were the exact same? Both are 4 days per week (OR). Job 1) Commute only 16 mins in the morning, but 40mins to 60mins for the way home. No call. Job 2) Only 7 minute commute. Has call 1-2 times...

Yeah, it's a lot of call. It's not level 1 trauma call at least (I've been there and done that kind of OR call, never again). It's strictly eye surgery. They say they go 3 weekends in a row without being called in at all. I'm finishing my online BSN ...

As much as I don't care for call, I'm leaning towards Job 2. I have anxiety when driving in bad weather. Especially in the dark with fog or slick roads early in the morning. The positions are located in the Portland area. I'm relocating from Texas wh...

Hello, I just wanted to start a thread for those of us applying for the LVN or RN programs at Temple College for 2015. We can share information, discuss any concerns, talk about the HESI exam, getting cleared through the Board of Nursing, or the just...

Can I ask why you are going for LVN and not the ADN program? If you are this prepared (on allnurses and studying for the HESI already) I think you should consider both programs. As for prepping for the HESI, be prepared to know the conversions to th...

Thank you for posting SweetSouthernLove. This is honestly one of the best responses I've read on allnurses.

I can't speak for what it will be like next year, but this year: 8:00 first semester and 6:45 second semester.

They split the class into A group and B group. They are essentially the same except one group will either get out early on Wednesday while the other gets out early on Thursday. I was B group. The first 8 weeks: Mon: 12-4pm Tues:8-4pm Wednesday: 8-2:...

They raised the minimum score to 80 for each three areas on the HESI for ADN 2016. The program is frontloaded during the first 8 weeks, you will feel super busy. The second 8 weeks of the first semester isn't bad, this is when you start going to you...

I will go up there in the morning and check on the packets. Do we wear our uniform or regular clothes on Monday? I thought it was regular, but just double checking.

You should be fine to apply for next year (2016). They take applications for the ADN in the spring. They do a point system when determining who gets in to the program. You may not get the 1 point for living in district because you would be living in ...

Did you guys get the e-mail about the nurse pack? Possibly silly question: I know it is supposed to be mailed to the nursing department, so on the form where it asks for address do we put the the nursing department address? Less than a month until w...

Hi Sonya, it was nice to meet you the other day. I'm glad you found us on here! If you have any questions or you have information to share, feel free! -Kate

I'm still waiting as well! I'm going to go up there on Wednesday since that is when the ADN secretary should be back.

Yes... I am going to try to contact the VN secretary tomorrow. :)

No, I haven't received my fastpass yet. I am going to visit my parents in Oklahoma for a couple of weeks and wish I could go ahead and do the fingerprints without the fastpass before I leave, but I'm not sure if that is allowed.

I was accepted as well. I am looking forward to meeting you guys in person soon!

The mailman is outside, maybe I should stand next to him until he gets to my box?

I keep checking this board to see if anyone has received any news!

I am going on a trip next week and I won't even be home to check my mailbox obsessively. When we all get to orientation, I will be asking around for my allnurses.com friends! Stay positive, everyone!

I feel the same way. I have a previous Bachelor's degree in Counseling. I wish that I could tell them that I turned down two counseling graduate programs in order to pursue nursing here. If you find anything out about submitting a personal statement,...

I am wondering if it would be a good idea to buy a tablet/iPad? Do many of the nursing students use tablets at TC? Also, do they actually buy textbooks or are the e-textbooks more popular? Thanks!

Oh, the suspense is killing me slowly. Hurry up, May!!

I made an "A" in A&P. I had avoided as many science classes as possible when I got my Bachelor's in Counseling. Studying did take a good chunk of my time because I was starting from scratch. I didn't even know the correct anatomical position or w...

A friend of mine applied last Thursday and it was in the 130's at that point.
