El centro nursing program fall 2012??

U.S.A. Texas

Published

Hi is anyone out there applying to the el centro nursing program for fall 2012? Would you share points and which campus you're choosing ? :)

There are two forms of feedback I need from El Centro this week to make important decisions; The new point system and those re-issued letters!

It was my first time applying and I had 15 points. I got a rejection letter, but my info was all wrong. I earned a B.A. in 2007 so the new system favors me, but I still need to know what summer courses I need to register for and whether or not I should continue with additional applications to TWU and UTA. My wheels are spinning here.

Same here! I have a Bachelors degree...I added up points just from that alone I have 13 points without even starting my 2 missing Pre recs or support classes. I want to see the new info packet ASAP!

@Slopez205 and RNNelson79...this info is what was given to me at the info session in April. The additional 9pts come from these BSN courses...

math 2342-(which is stats)

hist 1302 and 1302

govt 2301 and 2302

soci 1301

anth 2346

engl 1302 and 2311(tech writing or any 2000 or above english)

This point system also favors me as well so I'm hoping for the best

I'm missing anthropology so that's would i would need for summer school if it's worth an addtional point.

@Slopez205... I'm missing stats and anthropology and I'm taking my last 2 pre-reqs this summer.

I took statistics at UTA. It was called math 1308 though. Does anyone know if it is equivalent to the statistics math 2342?

Hmm, well I've got all but stat and anthropology. I was looking at UTA's RN-BSN courses and anthropology isn't one of them. I thought that's what the additional points would be going off of? Wonder why we need to take anthropology or if one of my other bazillion classes I took while in undergrad would count...

Well, 7 out of 9 out of the gate isn't bad. No complaints so far :)

El Centro's BSN bridge program is through UTA so I'm sure you'll be fine.

What's the Math section like on the Hesi?

These courses need around 2 years to complete... So the adn program now requires like 4 years to complete. This is not fair to freshmen at all. What do you guys think?

It's great for those who've graduated with a bachelors already- and bad news for those who have not, and who have been hustling taking the Pre recs and support courses and thinking they're ready to apply. I guess a lot of people will be turning to Brookhaven etc. who don't have these BSN classes taken already. I'll admit it's pretty strange since it is an associates degree and not everyone wants to go for the BSN. On the other side, it's a less pricey way of achieving the BSN in the end.

Mail just came today ... nothing in there from El Centro yet :( Hopefully tomorrow.

I just talked to the Admissions Office (receptionist) and she said that the letters have not been mailed yet. They were waiting for the Dean of the department to get back from a conference and they will probably be mailed out Thursday or Friday (5/3 or 5/4). She was very nice and helpful! :)
