UTA Spring 2013

Nursing Students Texas (UTA)

Published

Hello everyone! Just wanted to start this thread for anyone planning on attending UTA's nursing program in the Spring of 2013.....

I am working on the last of my pre-reqs right now at TCC, but I plan on attending UTA this fall to take Intro to Nursing, Patho, and Pharm... Anyone in the same boat???

I started my pre-reqs at UT-Arlington and moved back to Houston in the middle. If I don't get into UT-Arlington this Fall I will apply for UT-HSC too.

I think I'm trying to do just the opposite. Moving from Arlington to Houston.

I'm in the boat with you! I'm taking the last of my prereqs at LoneStar N. Harris and will be moving this summer to Fort Worth so I can attend UTA in the Fall. I'm going this Wednesday to talk to my advisor because I took Pharm last fall but they want to see the syllabus to determine if they will give me credit for it or I'll be taking this Fall with Patho and Intro to Nursing. Hope they take it because I don't want to take it again, it was intense but I still managed an A! Good Luck and I'll be keeping in touch. ;)

this is from an email with my advisor at uta.

me: as far as partner hospitals, it appears that it is based on facility, and not necessarily the company, is this correct? what i mean is, do you have to work at that specific facility to be partnered? (example: partner-thr fw. if i get a job at thr-heb, then i'm still not considered partnered, correct?)

advisor: that is correct. the specific facilities that are listed on the scheduled partnered hospitals list that i sent you are the only facilities in those hospital systems that are currently scheduled to be partnered with the college of nursing.

okay, so given this information, is anyone feeling like its a rat race to get and stay partnered?

@tah0009 I'm glad your advisor at least responds to you!!! Another little tidbit I found out is that this year THR is only able to host 20 students instead of 40, so that explains why so many THR employees are waitlisted. Ugh.

So you are still waiting to hear from her too! It's complete ******** if you ask me. It's been nearly 2 weeks.

Yep!!!! I emailed her on Apr 21 and, of course, she only answered one of my questions. So I had to write her back and ask the remaining questions again and never got a response. One of the MAJOR drawbacks to an online program is that you can only email grrrrr!!!! I am about to re-send it. Again. And hope she responds before Fall semester :/

i think there are certain hospitals that are always partnered. i work at parkland and they have been partnered since the start of the program and i believe baylor is the same way - you can count on them being partnered every year....unless something drastic happens. i think the thr locations change - also the houston facilities change each year.

hope that helps:)

Hi All,

I am about to send my applications to UTA (for both programs) and I was wondering if I need to send any support documents like:official transcripts, hesi scores with the application form or do I send ONLY the application since UTA already has all my informations anyways?

Thank you,

If they have all your info, you don't need to resend it. Just the application:)
