Baptist School Of Health Professions- Fall 2016

[Ashleynt]

Hey everyone,

I know it's early!! But, I applied for the Fall of 2016 and was wondering if anyone else had also applied? What is your GPA? How is the TEAS test?

You're welcome! I had SO many questions before I started the program and wish I had someone to ask lol.

"Medical ethics" is just normal 1301 ethics at Alamo colleges. I have no clue why BSHP calls it that. It's just confusing.

So to advance and take classes during the summer they send out an e mail 3 weeks before spring break asking whoever is interested to reply and you'll be considered. To my knowledge there is only around 30 slots AND the people who are automatically put into those 30 slots are people who are a semester ahead and failed a class. There was about 15 people who failed pedi or maternal who automatically took 15/30 of those open seats. Then it opens to everyone in the night,day and LVN/RN program. It's really based off your gpa. They look at the grades you made during fundamentals,commons, and complex. The e mail says "generally students have between a 3.2-3.6" but to be safe strive for that 4.0. You also have to be able to attend a week long camp in July for pedi that's out of town or, get lucky enough and attend a camp for juvenile diabetes Monday-Friday here in town.

Oh! And you also have to have all of your pre-reqs done. I still needed a sociology and college algebra and took those in the spring along with my nursing classes in order to apply for summer. So is suggest to get them done in your first semester because the second semester is much harder.

mental health and pharmacology in the same 8 weeks is NO joke.

Beware though, taking classes through the summer isn't for everyone and it's in the e mail. It puts you going 32 weeks straight of school with one week break at the end of August only to start another 16 weeks after only having 1 week off! ������. There is no break between spring and summer it literally goes from a Friday to a Monday. It's defiantly possible though!

I work full time and obviously go to school full time lol, I have no life but! You get through a 24 month program in 15 months. So it's so worth it!

Hope that helps!

Feel free to ask anything else!

Hi there! I applied for the ADN program (fall, day). I got all A's in the prerequisites and 78% on the TEAS. I also took general ed courses at SAC (except ethics). Thank you everybody for the valuable information!

I finally heard back from the advisor. She has just been very busy. She received my transcripts, TEAS V scores and HS diploma. Now I just have to figure out how to pay tuition if I'm accepted. When I re-read my FAFSA SAR report, it said I "could" get up to $4500 for the '16-'17 school year! That's a drop in the bucket. I think I'll apply at SAC as well since it's cheaper.

Has anybody who applied gotten an email saying to get your fingerprints taken?

[jntsnkhl]

I haven't. I checked my spam folders too

[Ashleynt]

@-forgetmenot- @jntsnkhl I haven't received an email about the fingerprinting either! I looked on the thread for fall 2015 and they received the finger printing email on May 11th :/ so now I'm worried!

[jntsnkhl]

@Ashleynt I emailed Rebecca but i got an automated reply that says she's not available today

[-forgetmenot-]

@jntsnkhl @Ashleynt it made me worried as well! But since none of us received the "fingerprinting email," we should be ok. I also forgot to confirm with Rebecca if she received my TEAS score that I took at the BSHP (they should have received the TEAS results automatically). Are you planning to take Intro to ethics (2306) instead of medical ethics?

[Ashleynt]

@jntsnkhl darn :/

@-forgetmenot- yes please let me know when either of you receive the email! Yeah I confirmed my TEAS with her as well even though I took it at the Baptist school! And I already have taken 2306 (intro to ethics). All I need is sociology and college algebra :/ wbu?

[-forgetmenot-]

@Ashleynt @jntsnkhl I will keep you informed once I get it. I did not confirm about the TEAS result thinking that they should have gotten it automatically (at least that is what ati says) since I took it at the BSHP. Now, I'm stressing out about it. I emailed the advisor and got the same automated response. I've already taken algebra, sociology, life span, etc. I'm planning to take ethics and history1,2 (for BSN in the future) this summer. I hate waiting...

[Ashleynt]

@-forgetmenot- oh don't stress about the TEAS scores! They should receive them automatically. I just sent them in case they didn't receive mine, but you didn't have too. And I know!! I don't want to wait any longer!!
