   It is a ton of hours - I live by a post-it note system. I write down on a post-it for each class what is due for that week and cross it off as I do it. Each post-it has it's own color so I know what class it is for. I started this system in the fall ...

   I am off of Parmer near 35. I am taking 20 hours this summer trying to finish up. I'm taking History, Stats, Lit, and Chem from ACC, Tech Writing from UTA, and Patho from Paris Jr College Online. I know it sounds like a lot, but I've taken way more t...

   I have an Android tablet and an iPhone - I've used e-textbooks before and prefer to have the real deal in front of me. I'm more of a hands on/read-write learner. What promo video are you seeing?

   I am married, but my husband's grandparents live in Baytown. I am going to be going to Baytown on Wednesday mornings and coming back to Austin on Sunday evenings after clinicals. I'm going to try the travelling back and forth because I work for South...

   The clinical locations are decided upon ranking points - my first choice was already full I'm really hoping someone else will be travelling as well and we can share a hotel room. The only other option that I have is to stay in Baytown, TX which is a...

   I'm hoping that I won't be the only crazy individual making the drive - or at least someone else will be travelling if not travelling from Austin. I would be absolutely ok with going in on a hotel room with another student to cut costs, and even do h...

   @stash11 - I called *** and talked with her for almost an hour. The ranking process actually determines where you are placed in clinicals. That's why I got Brazosport. She did tell me that clinicals will be on Sat/Sun and test day is Thursday at 1pm ...

    The first semester is going to be the most expensive, however after looking at the "textbook bundles" those prices seem to drop after each semester.

    I just got a phone call from the UTA Clinical Coordinator. I have been assigned clinicals at Brazosport Regional Health System. Here's the kicker: I LIVE IN AUSTIN. Which means that is about a 3 hour drive. Since Austin isn't a clinical site currentl...

    I am accepted by the UTA CON and finishing up my "general studies" courses to apply to the AP BSN. I do work for an HCA company in Austin, but would still have to travel for clinicals. My question to you is what was your GPA? & HESI Score? Thank...
