Hi all! I am applying for the program and live in Temple (off 35, between Austin and Waco). I am waiting to get into the actual school first, hopefully should hear something soon. This will be my second Bachelors (first was in biology). Need to take 4 pre-requisites, but should be good to get into the Spring 2017 session.

I shot you a text. Awesome news about both your wife getting the job and you getting into TAMU-CC! Hopefully I will hear back soon about my main application to the school so I can get those pre-reqs knocked out. My goal is to start the actual nursing program Spring 2017. I hope we can take some classes and clinicals together, I will do my best to get started ASAP! I appreciate your help with a referral and talk to you soon!

Hey nursing_n00b, How did it go, did you get in?? I applied for the school, I have to do four pre-reqs which isn't bad at all in my opinion.

That is awesome to hear that there is someone close by! Sending you some good vibes to hear good news back! I bet you will not have any problems! Where is your wife applying, maybe I can help. I work at the South Campus in Merchandising and McLane does have a referral program so maybe I can put in a good word? Yeah, I really would like to get a job at S&W that would be more relevant (and more flexible) to getting a nursing degree... I have applied to four jobs, but haven't heard anything back yet. Hopefully will soon, if you have any pointers, I would sure appreciate it! Luckily, I will start volunteering in the ED at S&W next week so I will get some experience there. Thanks for the information about the eLine advisor, it has been rather difficult getting in touch with someone. I finally have a call scheduled on Monday to discuss the program with an advisor (maybe Mr. Ramos). Since I still need to take the nurse prerequisites, and maybe one or two other classes, I will probably apply for the Spring 17 start. I would like to go ahead and apply for the Fall but doubt I could with my lack of prerequisites. Hopefully that will also give me some time to find a more relevant job. I am new to this forum, but if you want to exchange contact info, maybe I can message it to you somehow. Really good to hear about your success!

Hi nursing_n00b. I live in Belton and currently work at McLane in Temple. Hoping to get a job at S&W as well to help with going to nursing school (the business world isn't the best at being supportive of that). I have a BS in Biology with a Chem/Psych minor. I am also considering this program, because of their partnership with S&W. Hopefully we will talk to each other more, it is nice having someone close by!

I live in Central Texas as well (Temple) and am considering this program. I am married, already have one BS and some masters credits, and need to work full time while attending. I know it will be pretty crazy, but I am dedicated to this career change. How difficult was it get a clinical location in central Texas? S&W is right down the road, so that would be awesome!
