My job, which paid for my school, paid for Hurst Live. While it was great, UWorld was superior. My program also had elsevier and the adaptive quizzing just isn’t up to the same level as UWorld.

Hey! I am a current Two-Step student. Just finished 2nd semester and starting 3rd soon. Which hospital do you work at? You'll need to reach out to the coordinator and get a pack that contains all the courses you need. HCA requires that you've compl...

Hey all! I'm going to get an iPad for notes for nursing school. I absorb more info when I hand write it so typing into laptop isn't going to be all that helpful. But tons of note books and papers will be messy and hard to find notes. So I'm going ...

Has anyone received info on finger printing? Blue card?

Bianca, I purchased the Mometrix book for the PSB. It's available on Amazon. It has some practice questions in it. I practiced at home and timed myself. The time is what will get you in this test. The book explains the different sections for you. Jus...

My education coordinator through my job said we should go over the other stuff in our letter at orientation. Maybe that's part of reason we need laptops on Friday. Also, I'm betting we will get emails regarding finger printing after acceptance form...

What pages did y'all receive in your acceptance letter? My job had be sign the one that needs to be turned in on 7/9 and give it back to them right then. I also got the computer requirements, health & physical form, and a form about reading req...

I'm not a nurse but.... Maybe a PRN job in a more challenging specialty? That way you could learn new things and get to know management and if jobs FT jobs become available you could talk with management about going FT?

I found out at work. I had to do an interview with bosses at my job, including CNO. After interview they brought me back in and gave me an envelope with Collin on it and my letter with form for intent to enroll.

I got in through my hospital's partnership with Collin. Found out today. Will see everyone on July 13.

I'm betting letters will go out this week. Orientation is July 13th and if you accept your admission offer, you have to let Collin know by July 9.

Please stop watching tv shows and looking at those nurses on there. I can tell you in my hospital, we have your typically attractive nurses and some that aren't quiet my type. I am overweight and have great skin genes as I have these wonderful skin...

I'm trying for the HCA program and they already told HCA which of their candidates are good to go, academically. I still have to interview with someone at my hospital next week and get a thumbs up from her. I live in Denton so going down 380 4x/we...

How long are you going to be out of town? Last year the acceptance letters went out around 6/21 and I think on a Friday. My understanding if you only have a week to accept your spot. May want to have to someone checking your mail and willing to do ...

What were your friend's stats for her to already received a "no"? She must not have met all the requirements.

Ok... I've accepted the idea that I probably will need a rolling backpack for nursing school. I've been looking online but wondering what brands others have used and know to hold up for all those books? Also... any other items I should consider buyi...

Anyone submitted their application yet? I'm thinking of taking mine this week or next. 😬

Did you ask? What was their response?

I understand you "want it now and fast" attitude. That's been me for about 4 years now. I had a career and when I was laid off, I wanted it then. I went for my CNA license and that has been the best thing. The pay is better than retail and so ar...

I'm starting nursing school in August but I work as a tech for one of the Medical City hospitals in the area. Plenty of friends are in your position. My understanding about Cooks is that internships are difficult to get there. Most hospitals have ...

I have had this convo with my wife several times. She is a chemist and works in a toxicology lab as a supervisor and used to be an analyst with the same company. They get urine, blood, and saliva samples from doctor offices, courts, smaller labs, e...

I will be applying for Fall 2018 but I will be applying for HCA's Two-Step program so I don't think I will compete with everyone else applying. I have A's in A&P1&2 and Micro. I also have a previous Bachelor's and Master's degree. My PSB sc...

This link doesn't actually have the point requirement. The only one I can find says PSB has possible 6 points but someone a few posts above says it's now possible 17.

What is the new point system? Maybe I'm blind but I can't seem to find it anywhere on the website.

I just found this thread. I am interested in the TWU weekend program. For those of you with previous Bachelor's degrees, did you take pre-reqs at TWU? I am currently taking my courses through Collin College but wondering if I should finish up my scie...
