University of Houston-Victoria second degree BSN spring 2013

U.S.A. Texas

Is anyone applying to UHV second degree BSN spring 2013?

Im applying to UHV for the spring class and TWU for the fall class. The deadline for TWU is February so I still have time. Im just worried about my GPA. Its around a 3.1, but I have all A's in my science classes since I took most of them last year. Hopefully my TEAS score helps me out. I got an 87.3.

I am applying to the program too. I hope I get in! I started a thread for this, but being new to the site, wasn't sure it got posted in the correct place.

A quick question for the person who is currently in the program--Do you get to choose what campus you attend, between Sugar Land and Cinco Ranch? Or is it just assigned?

I am nervous/excited, and wish everyone the best of luck!

I agree with mrmrz3. I had the same question!

Good luck to you too!

I have another question too, and I am sure I already asked this but, do we need to send our transcripts directly to UHV as well? Already sent to NursingCAS.

Anyone else going to the information session tonight at Cinco Ranch? I plan on going

You do get to pick your campus, but not the hospitals you rotate at. Although for this last semester if you were in Cinco Ranch you got a Katy hospital instead of Sugar Land so that was cool.

For the Nursingcas question, send it to them only.

And everyone come out to the info session tonight. A few of us will be there to answer questions!!

I have a quick question if anyone can help. I have completed the NursingCAS application and faxed in all my paperwork needed by the school. I am just wondering if I also have to apply to the school itself because there is no instruction in the application process to apply for UHV. Do you apply later after in the process?

You only apply to NursingCAS.

The BON website is still showing the UH-V BSN program status as "CONDITIONAL." I've always thought that "conditional" status meant that a program could not accept new students or start a new cohort. I want to apply, but can they even accept new students?? The earliest the BON could change the status would be October 2012, I believe.

Conditional means that they do not have full approval from BON. Like they did meet some type of requirement.

It might have to do with the curriculum and low pass rates on the NCLEX.

Oh, agreed! But the BON website states that the consequences of a "conditional" status is that the program cannot accept a new cohort of students until the "conditional" status is removed.

Since UH-V is "conditional," it would mean they cannot accept any new students. I think I will go ahead and apply and hope --as they are, I'm sure! -- that the BON will remove the "conditional" status in time for the new class year to start. It's all depending on how the most recent group of graduates do on the NCLEX. If they do well, the "conditional" would most likely be removed.

Fingers crossed! The individual who runs the program totally rocks, so I'm thinking things will eventuall work out in their favor.

Hey guys!!

I am new to the thread, but I have applied to the UHV accelerated program for 2013! I recently graduated from UH central campus with a Health and Nutrition degree. I know some schools give priority to those who have graduated from their school system. For example, it says on Texas Techs website that if you've graduated from Tech then you are considered first for their nursing program. Does anyone know if the same goes for UH? I wish everyone the best of luck- now we play the waiting game :idea:
