I am an RN working in the ICU in a level one trauma center. I got my BSN from the University of Texas at Arlington. I still have so much to learn but I'm learning from the best team I could have ever asked for. I enjoy my work and I love the career I have chosen.
Just found out today that I passed my NCLEX RN!! Praise God! I graduated my BSN program May 12,2016 and tested June 1, 2016. My exam shut off at 110 questions and it was probably the hardest test I've taken there always seemed to be 2 good answers t...

I start my capstone at UTA in April, I was under the impression that there wouldn't be much coursework involved, I thought the main focus was actually just following your nurse preceptor around and finally getting to use some of our nursing skills. ...

Sorry I haven't been on AN in a while (Pedi and Critical care are keeping me busy!) As #proudtobeanurse suggested work ahead if possible, I always work ahead as much as I can in my down time to get things out of the way if the instructor will allow ...

Your cohort will be split up into groups of 8-10 students and each group is assigned a clinical site, they try to place you at one of your top 3 choices, but they give special consideration to the partnered students who work at a hospital and there a...

I took research over the summer at UTA and just finished a couple weeks ago. At first it seemed worse than it actually was, it was a heavy reading load and to be honest I gave up thouroughly reading and re-reading the chapters after week 2, I made...
I would jump at a deal like that! I wish they offered something like that in my area... free BSN and a guaranteed job after graduation?!?! I'll be graduating with about $20k in student loans and I'm still 9 months away from graduation, but I'm alre...
I'm currently a junior in an AP BSN program, in the fall I will be a Senior and will be graduating in the Spring. The program is online and year round so I don't get the summer off, but my assignments and coursework and study time has been mostly e...

Congratulations! It will be hard but it is doable. The AP BSN program is awesome, I was able to work full time hours and keep up with my 2 kiddos (3 and 6 thank God they sleep through the night lol). My clinicals were also Saturday-Sunday for J1 se...

I know this was a while back, but I did end up getting Accepted into UTA AP BSN program at the 11th hour, it was about 2 weeks before the semester started and I was all set to go to Baylor in Dallas which would have been over an hour commute for me e...
I'm definitely not an expert, I am also a first semester student but here is my little advice for what it's worth. I just took my final and HESI today. What helped me is taking practice tests and answering questions and READING RATIONALES (even if ...

I was called off the wait list, I am not partnered I took 2 sciences (AP2 & Micro) & intro to nursing at UTA but most of my other credits came from community college. I had a good score on my entrance HESI and my GPA was pretty good, but I h...
If you were wait listed dont worry, many people get in to both the in-seat and online programs and have to give up a seat in one of the programs, some people also will not pass the background check or for many other reasons students will have to give...
I am currently a nursing student in the UTA AP BSN program. If I remember correctly, I believe I submitted my application in August of 2014 and acceptance letters did not go out until mid October or early November for the Spring 2015 start. I do r...
I was waitlisted and got the call last week. I was accepted in to the AP BSN off campus program as well. I felt so overwhelmed with all of the info I got in one day, and the long list of things to do, but I'm mostly done now, and I'm just excited t...
