UT-Arlington BSN program

Nursing Students Texas (UTA)

Published

Hi, I'm seriously considering the 15 month BSN program (for non-RNs) at UT later this year, obviously when my preqs are out the way. Wanted to know if anybody out there has done this program or know of someone who has? How was the 15 month long clinicals and how was it taking courses online? How did the financial aid work? I have been working as a RT, mainly in ICU for 6 years now and want a career change. Thanks guys...

I did not know that MD Anderson and Plaza Medical were partnering hospitals with UTA AP BSN program??! They were not listed on the listed that my advisor sent me for the Spring '12 program. I wonder why this is??! This is the list she sent...

Spring 2012 AP BSN Partner Hospitals:

THR Dallas (Presbyterian)

THR Arlington Memorial

TBD (THR)

TBD (THR)

Baylor Medical Center

Parkland & Dallas Children’s

Do you all know of others that were not listed??!!!

Oh ok..thanks for giving me the heads up. I guess I didn't realize all of HCA was considered partnered....good to know, especially if I need to get a job to be considered "partnered" for next go around....in case I don't get accepted this time...I'm praying but also realistic! :-/

I was told by my advisor that 1st of November at the latest I could expect to hear something (actually she said "mid Oct was their goal" but I've talked to way too many other applicants that their advisors say "1st of November"). Only a couple more weeks hopefully!! ;) Good luck and thanks, again, for helping clear up my confusion.

Hello,

Plaza doesn't require you to sign a contract for AP Program, however if you go through their program which is web-based @El Centro; they require a 2 year contract in addition to working 36 hrs for them during the program-now that really sucks. I know several nurses that are doing the El Centro program and are struggling to work and go to school. So how's everything going with you and Uta online programs?

Perhaps this should be a post. I want to know about the teachers for clinical in the UTA program. Are they reasonable people? I was in a nursing program before and the teachers were rude. I have since realized some of my behavior could have been better but I would never want to go thru that again. Can someone answer if the clinical instructors are helpful? Thank you.

I read some where RT's could bridge to RN. I mention this bc it may be quicker to do that instead.

I work at JPS and they don't require a contract either. No pressure to stay afterwards, either.
