Brookhaven Fall 2020

Published

Hey everyone! I decided to start this forum because I am a current transferring Nursing student moving from AR to TX. I am in need of all the tea on the program and faculty. Please feel free to leave comments! I’m just trying to get all of my ducks in a row now. I hope to meet someone of you all along this journey!

Your situation is similar to mine with the 3.0 requirement. I needed to retake Chem and AP 1 and gets B's in those classes in order to get a 3.0. I missed out on applying spring 2020 because of this but I got the grades now and i can officially apply.

I got a B in A&P I and a C in Chem. That C is what did it. I am taking A&P II and retaking Chem this spring. It's really looking like I will have to wait and apply for the spring 2021 cohort, but I don't want to eliminate Fall just yet!

Best place to go for vaccines is Dallas county. Lines are usually pretty short and you sign an affadavit and pay $10 for your shots.

I am right on the line of Dallas/Denton county but live in Denton county. I assume Denton would have something similar.

Did you do your evaluation over email/internet? or did you go in person? Was it a regular advisor or like a nursing advisor specifically? Did you have to make an appointment?

I went in person to the advising center and asked specifically to talk to the nursing advisor, he went through all the paperwork I had with my HESI scores then took me to the health center so I could get all my titers and shot records signed off and double checked..very helpful

Definitely check with your PCP first...some of the vaccines take a bit of time (Hep B mainly), I took the HESI at a Prometric testing center, u can basically pick your date and time..on top of that you have to provide positive titers for MMR, varicella and Hep B

I just took my Heb B B yesterday and was wondering what you meant by “some of the vaccines take a bit of time” ? ?

Hep B requires 3 dosages over 6-7 months, each dosage has a waiting period. So if your blood work doesn’t come out positive for immunity and you haven’t started your vaccinations back in July/August your bloodwork won’t be ready for February Admissions

Hep B is a series of 3 shots given over a 6 month time period and then usually a 30 day wait period minimum to get the titer results you need for school

I got Twinrix on the accelerated schedule to speed everything up but it was really expensive, my insurance would only cover the 6 month shot type lol
