   Thanks for letting us know, Curlymitch06. I think it helped out a lot, especially those who wants to live in an apartment.

   Just in case anybody isn't familiar with purchasing ebooks via third parties, I bought Medical-Surgical Nursing (with Media), Fundamentals of Nursing, and Nursing Diagnosis Handbook for about 230$ on Pageburst (by elsevier, I believe?). The Fall 2012...

   Thanks for the verification. Now where to buy the ebooks...they don't sell them separately at the Tyler bookstore.

4. UT Tyler Spring '13 Admission

   KRBee replied to michkerr's topic in Texas

   An instructor emailed me back regarding books and told me that the Nursing Competencies books must also include the electronic versions. I'm confused now because of what your adviser said! I would prefer physical textbooks but the instructor told me ...

   Thanks for telling us about Tyler, it helped me get an idea of what the campus looked like. I emailed my adviser about books and she ended up forwarding my email to the instructors but no one has emailed me about textbooks. I found the Fall 2012 s...

   I have never made an F. If you have many F's, just retake the class and pass it. As long as you pass your pre-reqs and maintain a minimum of 2.75 GPA, they'll consider you. I haven't heard of anyone getting into the program with a GPA less than that.

   KRBee replied to michkerr's topic in Texas

   I was one of those students who got in but did not finish the core curriculum, but I think I was able to get in because my grades weren't super bad. Either that or, as nursingstudent9 suggested, there were less applicants. If you are within 15 hours ...

   UT Tyler's NCLEX pass rate average is ~94 in 5 yrs, whereas Midwestern averages ~82. UT Tyler has a larger student population than Midwestern, but Midwestern is a little bit cheaper to go to (but they're relatively the same). I don't know much more t...

   My adviser informed me that Skyscape will be used in Level 1. She also advised not to activate it until closer to the first day of class. Also, a tip she gave me: For those who haven't gotten their IDs yet, try to get your student IDs and nursing ba...

    I definitely need to re-read the Terms of Service. I apologize for not adhering to the rules. My instructor told us that it's recommended but we never used the book throughout the entire class. However, I agree that since there are many CPR classe...

    I think Tyler is more if we're talking about on-campus housing. Ornelas seems to be their only residence hall, and their cheapest option is $5679/year for a double occupancy (I'm going by academic year instead of semester). That's more than KC hall, ...

    That's what I was told. Yes, we make an advising appointment, a urine drug screening scheduled by ****** ******, and we also schedule that BON criminal background check. And thanks for telling us about Skyscape. I already emailed my adviser about...

    KRBee replied to michkerr's topic in Texas

    My adviser emailed me back. I learned that the number of students that applied to the program and were accepted are currently confidential. Darn, I was curious on the statistics and where I lay in them. I took the Texas Heart CPR class in Plano. It ...

    I have not received any word from my adviser ******* ****, so I plan to email her again tomorrow if she does not reply. With most of you, I know nothing about the area. I would like to live in Ornelas Hall triple occupancy (simply because I am tired...

    I got into the traditional BSN program at Tyler campus for Spring 2013 and was absolutely SHOCKED. I currently attend UTA and didn't get into their program, so I felt pretty negative about getting into any other school I applied to. Congrats hopeful_...
