U.S.A. Texas

I'm trying to get some info on their program. How hard is ranking? Would utep be a better option? We are moving there in July and I have lots of pre reqs done from Washington and Georgia due to moving so much. But I will need pharmacology. Is this a hard class? I've already had Chem and a&p 1 & 2 English comp 1 & 2, psychology, medical terminology, a history, music appreciation, college algebra and a cna license.

Im not sure how hard it is to get into the EPCC program, I know UTEP is very competitive, but I suggest you try Texas Tech as well, it is also very competitive but you should defiantly consider it.

I am trying to rank in 2 days and to me it was really competitive but since they just implemented the Teas test this time instead of accuplacer, People haven't been passing it since they based it on your individual scores not the composite. I have heard that they will change it to the composite though for June ranking 2014. As far as your credits, I would get my transcript sent to the school so they can tell you which credits they will accept and which credits they will. I took 2 classes in another college, Pharmacology and Foundations to nursing and they didn't count it but my core credits from 16 years ago were accepted and counted.

For ranking course, You have to make A's on them to be competitive during ranking. I took A&P 2 and Pharmacology during the summer semester and that was the toughest semester in my life. 2 demanding courses in a short time, 5 weeks for A&P and 10 weeks Pharmacology...usually 16 week class but I came out with A's...but had to work hard and won't ever do that again. So far I have 1069 points for ranking...and get to find out in 2 days if I made it in.

Specializes in CNA, LVN, RN.
