Hey there! I submitted my application in early March. My GPA for ADN is 3.5 and BSN was 4.0. I haven't heard back from the program yet. I have just over two years experience. Really anxious to hear back!

I got an offer a while back for clear lake general surgery! Anyone else? Wanting to meet some people. :)

Has anyone heard anything else? Clear Lake specifically? Any offers!

This is true. I called the recruiter about it. All 400 BSN applicants will be interviewed before any ADNs....600 applicants total. Didn't sound to hopeful for ADNs. She said I'd have much better luck looking south, Corpus, the valley, etc.

I can definitely agree with you on that one. Being an ADN, nobody is interviewing us until they've interviewed all of the BSN applicants. Yay

I just applied today to a few different positions. I'm a soon to be ADN from Houston. Best of luck to us :)

When HCA came to my school to talk to us about applying for the StaRN program they mentioned that they won't be making calls until early/middle November. I'm not stressing TOO much, but still hoping to hear back soon. :)

THIS is exactly what happened to me! I put my application in the hour it opened. Went to pre-match day and put TMC as my first choice and realized I couldn't do that. I spoke to HR and they said it wouldn't matter and I was okay. Then come to find out, I'm almost 100% positive thats the reason I never got a call back. I hate hate hate that. Most people from my class got a call to attend match day, and I was one of the very few who didn't. I have great grades and lots of service experience. I just don't understand. I get if I didn't make the qualifications. But I feel as if I was very qualified. Time to move on, like you said! I wish the best for everybody :)

I got a call back this week for the College Station/Bryan location saying they weren't taking any new grads for this cohort. Anyone else receive this?

I've spoken to a nurse manager at a level 1 trauma center that hires for the residency program before about how I should go about applying. She said when she gets a new grad who applies straight into the critical care she automatically throws the application away because it's not reality. She would rather have someone say they will start at med-surg then wanting to advance. I'm not saying its not possible, I'm just saying what she said. If I personally wanted to do any sort of critical care, I would start off as Med-Surg anyways since being a new grad is tough. That is just what I was told and I'm just trying to help here! Not trying to push any buttons.

You are the best! Thank you. That helps me get some sort of idea. I'm glad we can re-record them! That takes away some of the nerve

Can you give me some insight on the interview questions? I got an email today saying they wanted me to do the video interview! I'm nervous!! I haven't done a recorded interview before. Thank you for any advice!

I applied! Sent my application in today. Best of luck for us!

I applied too :) Best of luck for us.

When did y'all apply? The head of the residency program came & talked to us at clinical and said they reviewed applications by when they were were applied. I applied like as SOON as it opened and mine still says "applied" ☹️

Mine still says applied!

I applied the day it opened! My first choice is Mother/Baby at Childrens. I'm really hoping to get a call back. Prayers for all of us!

my score was a 402, hopefully that is okay. the 60th person who got in for this fall was a 404. I also am applying for Alvin for the second time.

I am also applying for the Spring of 2016! Does anyone know how many people are applying? or what a "competitive" score would be to get in? I have taken the HESI and TEAS, if they want to look at those scores too. Considering I took the TSI right after highschool and my knowledge has increased since then. I have a bunch of other courses too besides just the prerequisites. I'm wondering if they will take that into consideration as well... Comment back please!!! I want to know y'alls input.

Thank you for posting this! Right now I'm 18 attending community college in my first semester. I'm struggling in one of my classes, but have A's in my other ones. Hopefully I can get into nursing school for Fall of 2015! Thanks for your encouraging words, really. :)

My thoughts are that when they give the patient the K+ enhancing fluid, obviously more potassium is going to exit the cell. So therefore, more sodium is going to have to enter the axon. But I'm not sure what will actually happen to the action potentials.

Say someone is hospitalized due to cardiac issues. But he was given K+ enhanced fluid meant for another patient that was taking potassium-wasting diuretics, and his potassium levels were normal before the IV was administered. What will happen to his resting membrane potentials? and what will happen to his neurons ability to generate action potentials?
