1. UTA Online Academic Partnership BSN Program - Dallas Hospitals

   kazuo1513 replied to txnurstud's topic in Texas (UTA)

   That is really up to you.. you could get a job with one of the partnered hospitals and still not get in. I said in an earlier post that this program is getting increasingly popular so more and more employees from partnered hospitals are applying. I w...

   There's no way Children's Dallas can be partnered for the BSN program because the whole point of partnered hospitals are to do a majority of your clinicals there. We only offer Peds and it would not be right for a BSN group to only focus on the peds ...

   You have an advantage in knowing how to interpret lab tests and knowing some of the diseases. That will definitely come in handy when you do your care plans but that's about it. If you're expecting nursing school to be EASY for you.. I can't say beca...

   The program is 15 months for the BSN program. If they are saying 13 months, they may not be counting Winter break and other small breaks in between semesters. It is 4 semesters straight. Children's Dallas is a partner for the RN-BSN program. I work t...

   How it works is.... Say you are applying for the APBSN program and you work at partnered hospital X. Everybody else in hospital X will be competing with you to get a seat in the program. A year ago when I was applying, I was told that they open about...

   I have only HEARD about this program venturing off to Houston as of Spring 2011. I can't confirm anything. Before I started the 3 prereqs, I had a 3.3 science gpa from my previous degree at a different university. Then, I got all A's on those 3 prere...

   Osababi, I do not know how many applicants that take NOW. When I applied in September 2010, they only took 50. 10 students per hospital, only 5 hospitals available. I have heard that they have increased their numbers now because there are more hospit...

   Hi Amber! Make A's on those 12 classes. There is no interview or even an essay/statement required to get into the BSN program so they base almost everything on your grades. I would take as many online classes as your schedule allows. Schedule yoursel...

   The app to read our ebooks on the iphone/ipad just came out this spring semester. Some of us considered buying the iPad but we realized we were too poor. :) It would be a little inappropriate to carry the iPad with you on the floors... I don't know j...

    Hey! I don't mind the questions, ask all you want! For my 2nd semester, we did one month at a psychiatric hospital. We went once a week 7am-4pm. You don't do anything invasive during psych rotation. You practice your therapeutic communication skills....

    Each clinical rotation will be different. Your first semester will consist of Foundations and Health and Assessment. One day you will have skills where you practice what you need to do pref. on a mannequin and practice assessment on one another. The ...

    Terra, Yes, I do think every semester gets harder. The Saunder's NCLEX book is a great resource that all nursing school students should have from day one. This is an accelerated 15 month program. It is doable and you can manage with little stress if ...

    Terra, This is how it has been for me.. I can't say if the schedule will stay the same for the next class. My exams have been scheduled on the same day every week for the past two semesters. The quizzes are usually done online and they can be schedul...

    Kristen, I am going into my 3rd semester of the BSN Academic Partnership program with UTA. I am able to work part-time but my life would be a lot easier if I didn't have to work at all. Clinicals are typically two days a week, 10 hours per day. There...

    kazuo1513 replied to misseskb's topic in Texas

    Clinical days depend on which hospital you get partnered with. Parkland is usually Sat-Sun.. some other hospitals are Fri-Sat, Mon-Tues.. it all depends! Also, your psych and peds rotation will be at a different hospital so those days will differ as ...
