Fort Worth nursing school

Instead of continually reapplying every year, many people have opted to attend the outlying nursing schools which tend to have less competetive admissions criteria. You will need to commute many miles to get to these schools, but you won't have to do much waiting to get accepted...

1. Tarleton State University - Stephenville
2. North Central Texas College - Gainesville
3. Grayson County College - Denison
4. Hill College
5. Navarro College
6. McLennan College - Waco

.....and many more.....

Texas Christian has an accelerated BSN track for those already holding a BS degree in another field. http://www.hsn.tcu.edu/

Just another option!

And if you have a prior degree from UTA, and take your pre-reqs there, that carries some weight as well.

Oh - and I hear TWU's accelerated program is now in place in Dallas!

If I had a BS degree already... you better believe it Id be applying to the Accelerated programs.. I hear someones got one that is 12 or 15 months . I thought it was TCU but I could be wrong..

TCU and TWU both have them now

TCU actually has more grant and scholarship funding available - you may come out ahead on the financial aid end at TCU than you would at UTA or TCC. I have kids at both private and public Universities - the one at the private U will end up in LESS debt than the 2 at the public universities - we thought it was going to be the other way around! What a pleasant surprise that was!

So don't let the posted cost keep you from applying and applying for financial aid and seeing what they offer. Once they make a financial aid offer - tell them it isn't enough and you need more grant/scholarship money. See what they counter with before you decide not to go.

I talked to a girl who was going to TCU's BSN program and she was telling me that she had so much financial aid that she hardly has to pay anything back. One woman told me that she went to TCU as well and what she got in scholarships paid for one complete year of her nursing school. You may have to dig but the money is out there....
