Attn: Students Applying for Nursing Schools for the SPRING!

[lauren1449]

Hello All!

I am done with all of my pre-reqs as well as the TEAS test and the HESI. I am looking to apply at Nursing schools all over Texas and I'm working on a spreadsheet with everything I need and deadlines for each school. Anyone in the same boat? I'm going to be a sitting duck this fall, but most schools require the application by 9/15. Does anyone have any pointers or information on good nursing schools in Texas?

I'm looking at:

UTTYLER (Where I've been going)

UTA

TWU

Tarleton

UTh (Just started researching this - info would be appreciated!)

Any other good schools you know of and have info on would be helpful! I've taken both the TEAS and the HESI. So I'm just hoping for some good suggestion/info!

Some schools require a lot more than others, like Tarleton requires 3 letters of rec., a paper about yourself, etc. Whereas UT Tyler doesn't even glance at letters of rec. This is the kind of info I'm looking for.

*EDIT* - I'm really not interested in Online Nursing Schools.

Thank you guys so much!

Hey there lauren1449,

I'm not quite at the point you're at, but I'm working on it (I have 3 more pre-reqs classes left and studying for my TEAS and HESI test). I just wanted to share with you something that an individual said to a group of nursing major students during a seminar at our school for nursing majors....she said "when you, are writing your essay to the school, Never say the word MEDICAL in it because this is NOT medical school".

Good luck in the path that you choose.

BTW I attend Texas State University.

Much love and big hugs,
