HBU Nursing program spring 2015

Thanks :) The only hopes I have is because of my Hesi score! Lol. I made a 96 on the a&p section and one of the nursing advisors told me they go off of a point system and they look at the science grades the most, (Since classes like humanities aren't that important in the nursing field). I only applied to HBU, because I knew my chances would be slim at UT health and TWU. But If things don't work out at HBU, I'll try there again and I'll try other nursing schools too for the fall.

Yeah Houston nursing schools are way better than most, and it'd be easier if you live in the area anyway.

What gpa did you have when you applied for the fall, if you don't mind me asking?

Hi Ashley! I agree, I was definitely impressed with the admin at HBU, everyone was very nice and helpful throughout my whole application process. I'm sure their nursing staff is the same. Before HBU I went over to A&M PV to inquire about which of my classes would transfer, etc..and the lady I spoke to was very rude to me, it was like I was an inconvenience to them, so needless to say I didn't even end up applying there. I only applied to HBU and Coleman. I think you are probably guaranteed a slot, since you're already a student there. My overall GPA is a 3.8, but my HESI scores are 84-Read, 84-AP, 92-Grammar, and 92-Math, so I'm not sure if that will be good enough. We will see :geek:

Sorry for replying so late.. I've been at work all day.

Last semester when I applied I had a 3.5 GPA and 87 on my HESI exam. And I'm not sure if I'm guaranteed a spot but I am so praying for it! I check my email religiously and am anxious all day long because I know we will be receiving the decision letters soon.

I also didn't like Prairie View, they are ranked in the 250's on a list of best nursing schools in the nation. UT Health, HBU, TWU and UTMB are in the top 30. UT is #4 I think so that's why I feel I don't stand a chance.

It all just depends on how we compare to the other students who are applying at this time. It's just so competitive! Do you know exactly which classes count towards the science GPA for HBU? TWU was one of my top choices, but I bombed my TEAS! I got accepted into HCC Coleman for Spring 2015, but I'm not sure if I should go ahead and start there in Jan, or enroll full time at HBU and re-apply like you did. (Assuming I don't get accepted into HBU this app period.)

I know the main classes are: A&P 1 and 2, Micro, and Chem. They never really said any other courses had any significance. Just that you had to take Nutrition if you took regular chemistry.

And my bestfriend is at UT Health, this is her first semester, and the nursing coach that works for the school told them by 2017 or 2019 that it will be a national law that any nurse working on the floor in a hospital must have their BSN or a higher degree. So just in case you can afford to wait another semester, I would definitely consider it. Because the ADN program is 2 years of clinicals just like the BSN program so you'd be waiting 1 more semester and have your bachelors degree when you graduate.

Yeah you're right, I feel like it would be worth waiting. I want to try to go as far as I can with nursing anyway. I'm taking Pharmacology at HCC Coleman now, and so far I'm not sure it is a school I truly want to go to. I'd rather wait a semester and take a few additional classes so I can get my Bachelors degree as well as a better quality education.

Hi ladies!

This is my first post on All Nurses. I read that we would receive acceptance emails. Would we receive the emails on our regular email or HBU email? I spoke to Mrs. Johnston today. She said that acceptance letters have not been sent yet. I'm not sure if I'll get in this semester. My average score for the HESI was a 92, I have a BSIS degree with a 3.47 GPA but I somehow came out with a 3.08 GPA for HBU. The waiting game is awful.

Best of luck!

We will receive them through the email we put on our application! I just received an email from the Assistant Professor of Nursing to come by her office for advising. I had no idea what this meant so I called, since I'm not at school today, and they had no idea what that email meant either.

So I emailed her back asking what the advising would be for. And the lady in the office said decision letters will be sent out this week.

Ashley,

Thank you for replying. I'll keep my fingers crossed!

:)

Alex, are you a current student at HBU? Is this your first time applying to this program?

Ashley,

No, I'm not a student. Yes, this is my first time applying for the HBU BSN program.

Hey Alex! Good luck! I hope we all get into the program! It's my first time applying too! This waiting game is too much!!
