   First semester is very intense. You'll have plenty of breakdowns, meltdowns, shut downs ect the first semester ! ! So don't stress yourself now! It does have its rewarding moments but it also comes with huge sacrifices. The challenging part is adjust...

   Jessbird replied to tampicotrauma82's topic in Texas

   I never saw my calculated GPA on myUTH. I did see it when they sent me a transcript evaluation (a year ago back in March). Some people got evaluations others didn't. . .also don't freak if you don't get one, it doesn't necessarily mean youll get deni...

   Jessbird replied to Ladybug3's topic in Texas

   When I took the HESI I studied old lab notes and looked over my A&P book focusing on important points of the cardiovascular/renal/endocrine systems (since I had not taken AP 2 as well) The blue HESI was very helpful also. Don't overlook the hint...

9. Course load or course overload???

   Jessbird replied to brenay's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I think you can do it! As long as you don't burn yourself out by the last couple weeks of the semester, you'll be fine. Stay motivated, once you begin to lose that motivation, you'll begin to feel a lot more pressure. The pressure is definitely norma...

10. How many nursing schools should I apply?

    Jessbird replied to gonzalal's topic in Pre-Nursing

    apply to at least three to be on the safe side. Keep in mind, admission committees review thousands of applicants each semester and only a few will get selected.

    I applied to four BSN programs (In Texas) and got accepted to two of them. I'll be starting nursing school this fall! For those of you still taking prerequisites, dont let your GPA fall below a 3.5, keep your science GPA in good standing, volunteer ...

12. I'm never goin to reach my destination

    Jessbird replied to LaceElaine's topic in Pre-Nursing

    I wouldn't stress if I were you. I was in a similar situation as you were several semesters ago. If anything, continue taking the prerequisites and don't feel rushed! ! Make a spread sheet to keep track of the classes you have to take in order to App...

    Stacymonique, the Facebook group is very helpful but I understand if you choose not to have a fb account! Congrats woman! (assuming you are one). As far as the immunizations, I had my old shot record transcribed at the clinic I went to to get my phy...

    Jessbird replied to Ladybug3's topic in Texas

    I took both of them last December. Personally I thought the TEAS was more of a challenge. The science section was all over the place! By that I mean it covered sciences I did not studied so much (physical geology, geography, and Meteorology). I can'...
