UTEP or Texas Tech

I am also wondering about UTEP's BSN degree. This school seems to have a terrible reputation for all other majors and is to be avoided like the plague according to some colllege reveiw websites, but I want to believe that nursing departments are different due to better funding. I really need advise on whether to pursue UTEP, any knowledge would be much appreciated. Thanks!

Utep came in top 3 in nclerx passing rate in 2008 behind UT Austin and some other school. According to that its a really good program.

UTEP is not a bad school. But El Paso is bleh...

If you are considering UTEP, why not consider NMSU? I do believe they allow El Paso residents to pay in-state tuition.

Is anyone here going to or has gone to UTEP for nursing? How was over there? I have been admitted to BSN but is still debating on it. I heard the school has bad reputation...please help. I have few days to send a response

I am applying at Texas Tech (RN to BSN) for the Spring 2010 start. I just had my transcripts evaluated ..unofficially of course. I dont know much about UTEP but everything I have read about Tech has been good. I am applying to Texas Womans as well but they are my alma mater...I wish you luck..

I hear UTEP is really into theory and research as some nursing schools are starting to move towards that. I go to Texas Tech and it seems Tech is more hands on. Utep has been doing really well on the NCLEX the last two years good enough to be second or third in the state. Although i hear complains from hospitals about UTEP nurses calling them lazy and unprepared. But its not a bad school unless they totally fall on their face. The last two years they have had real good NCLEX rates you might want to check the BON website.
