UTMB fall 2006 BSN students . . .

I am on their waiting list. I know PackerBacker was accepted, but do not know if he/she accepted or not.

I have decided not to go to UTMB...I have invested too much time in this other program to stop now.

I am surprised that there aren't more people that got in/accepted to UTMB. hmmmm.....

where is everyone?

I don't recall many people on this board applying there. I am not depending on admittance through their waiting list, so I am taking pharmacology this summer at Houston CC. Did you find pharm difficult? I've already gotten my books so I can get a jump start on reading! Good luck. You must have a major weight lifted off of your shoulders now that you have decided. So, will you be done in two years?

I didn't think pharmacology was that bad. Although I have/had a great instructor. I really liked how she taught the class. She focused more on understanding the concepts rather than memorizing a million different drugs. We only had to know a few representative drugs from each group. For example, She wanted us to know what the typical beta blocker did...and so on. Not like pharm at UTMB --- One of my good friends just got done taking the final, she said that class nearly killed her. They had to know 80 drugs for each exam (4 exam) and then the final is comprehensive. YIKES! He said that he knows of at least 8 people that failed that class.

I guess I just don't see the point of memorizing a million drugs...I think its better to understand what the typical drug from that group does, and then know the ones that are a bit different. Just my opinion.... but unfortuanately no one asked my opinion

Good luck.
