@mcugetatme: Yes, I've met many Baptist grads. We do our clinicals at the Baptist hospitals and I've met a grad at every floor I've worked. I've also met people outside of school that mentioned they graduated from the same school. Baptist has been ar...

@Ashleynt: If you have questions after class or during breaks in the day you can ask the professors. You can also meet them after class if you have questions. During clinicals at the hospitals you'll be assessed individually for specific skills and ...

Hi! I started the RN program (day program) at Baptist in Fall of 2015, so I'm a year in. Class sizes are pretty large, at least for the day program. We have approximately 70 people per class for lectures. We're broken into small groups for clinicals ...

I've been checking to see if anyone has made a new thread for this fall, so I finally decided to be the one to do it. I've sent in my application, taken the TEAS, and just need to send in my A&P II grade once I finish the class in May. Hoping to ...

I had the same concern about the access code and media. I think I might head over to the bookstore that was recommended for buying our books and see if any of them have CDs or access codes. I think the $218 book does have both, but I can't tell with ...

I have one on Tuesday. I called almost two weeks ago to get the appointment, though.

Hmmm, I'll post the address here. I'm not sure if we're allowed to post outside links here so I'll remove it if a mod says it's a no-go: https://www.facebook.com/groups/BSHPnursingFall2015/

He'll be going to Fort Sam-Houston.

So I created a closed Facebook group, called BSHP-Nursing-Fall 2015, if anyone wants to join. It should show up through search on Facebook. I thought it'd be easier since I access Facebook more often than the Allnurses website.

My processing day is July 20th from 1-3 PM, so @Patenzie, I'll be there with you! I'm having to schedule my health screening for after the first processing day, which I hate to do, but we haven't moved to San Antonio yet. We're still waiting on the m...

Thanks everyone. I am going to check with the daycare director about finding another parent who may be willing to help me in the mornings. That option would probably lead to less random cancellations than hiring a babysitter. I called and asked about...

I am going to nursing school in the fall. We are also moving to the area (military family) and will have no friends and family there (or nearby states) to help with childcare. Therefore, we will be relying on a facility daycare for the youngest that ...

Thanks, Clint1076. Do you know what people with children in daycare did on clinical days? Most of the daycares I've found open at 0630.

I had everything in except for one transcript that came in a week ago.

I got into the day program. Whoo! Congrats, Patenzie. Are you on day or night? @Akeyes: I'm so sorry you didn't make it in. Will you take the LVN slot?

I had read somewhere that they said they'd mail results two weeks after the deadline, so I guess officially we should start hearing back on Saturday, the 30th. Maybe Monday, June 1st if they don't send stuff out on the weekends. I was really hoping t...

@Addy88: Not sure, but it wouldn't hurt to ask the admissions advisor.

@TeaandCupcakes: Best of luck! You were very close to your mark and there's time before June 15th! @Hill.nieto0810: Oh, geez. I had everything in by the beginning of April except for the class I finished on May 13th. I wonder why I wasn't told the op...

What exactly did he send? Just a statement from his college e-mail address what your grade was? I sent her a screenshot of my final grades from the college's website and told her the official grade would be sent this week by the school (snail mail o...

Rebecca had told me that they have to have the official transcript to process my application, so I think it won't count if I have my professor mail her the grade. I don't know about taking in by hand. We're out of state right now (moving there this ...

I was looking at the Fall 2014 Baptist thread and it looks like the first person to hear back heard on May 21st (second to last week of May on a Wednesday). So, in theory, people could start hearing results anytime in the next week or so. That's just...

Addy88: what are you using to study for the TEAS? I found that the best study manual was the ATI one. It was actually a little harder than the actual TEAS, but it also got me prepared for the exam better than the other study manuals I looked at.

My understanding is the fingerprinting process is to make sure you're eligible to sit for the NCLEX at the end of the program. People with certain criminal backgrounds wouldn't be allowed to take the exam. I got excited, too, when I got my fingerprin...

I don't know. On this thread someone said they were told at or above 77 was considered good, but I don't know if that is accurate or not. I'd also guess that the number changes according to the pool of applicants for that semester. I couldn't find ma...

I already filled out the FASFA, just because I don't trust myself to remember if I wait to do it later.
