1. Fall 2009 UT Houston BSN Applicants

   liz688 replied to Cailex's topic in Texas

   The A2 is a total joke, even compared to the breeze that was the NET. If you passed the 8th grade, you're practically guaranteed a perfect score on the A2.

2. Fall 2009 UT Houston BSN Applicants

   liz688 replied to Cailex's topic in Texas

   And btw, the Hesi A2 is waaaaay easier than the NET. I took it twice (for two different schools, neither one would accept scores from any school except themselves) and made a near-100 without even studying, while my composite NET score was a composi...

3. Fall 2009 UT Houston BSN Applicants

   liz688 replied to Cailex's topic in Texas

   I don't live north of Houston (I'm in the west area near Sugarland) but I wanted to advise you not to avoid the bus. I've noticed that everyone in this city avoids public transportation like the plague unless they have no other options, but I used t...

5. Fall 2009 UT Houston BSN Applicants

   liz688 replied to Cailex's topic in Texas

   I checked my UTlink this morning and I got into the generic program too! I was so excited! For the person that asked for stats for admitted people, my nursing pre-req GPA was 3.62, science pre-req GPA 4.0, pre-req classes taken at HCC, NET composit...

6. Changes to tcc 2010 spring application period????

   liz688 replied to wannabnursetx's topic in Texas

   I'm not sure about changes for the spring 2010 application period, but I can tell you that when I looked into nursing programs in the Houston area (and there are A LOT of them, if you include a 40-mile radius around the city) at least 80% of them req...

7. Fall 2009 UT Houston BSN Applicants

   liz688 replied to Cailex's topic in Texas

   I'm not sure who I spoke to--they called me because the letter had been returned. I was under the impression that the interview process worked like it does at most other colleges--they interview the top 25 or 50% of their applicants and choose final...

8. Fall 2009 UT Houston BSN Applicants

   liz688 replied to Cailex's topic in Texas

   I just wanted to let you know that you should definitely call. I had a crappy GPA on my undergrad degree (3.2) but a 3.65 on nursing pre-reqs and a 4.0 on science pre-reqs. I didn't receive an interview letter, and then they called me this afternoo...

   Lonestar College has like 5 branches with nursing programs, I think one of them is in the general Katy area.

11. Hospital based RN?

    liz688 replied to lilbrawler's topic in Pre-Nursing

    My understanding is that these programs are few and far between, and that those that still exist are being eliminated. In addition, I have been told by nurses who have graduated and are working now that people coming from the hospital programs are t...

13. 2 year BSN

    liz688 replied to FUTURE_ER_RN's topic in Pre-Nursing

    As far as I know, most programs that are labeled as "second degree" are deliberately accelerated programs. If you're applying to a regular nursing program and happen to have another degree, it's a 2-year program, because you only have to take the nu...

14. We regret to Inform You (LETTER)

    liz688 replied to MvbRn's topic in Pre-Nursing

    I'm not sure about the school you're applying to, but one of the 11 I'm applying to requires an 85 on the NET to even be considered for admission--so you might look into taking another math course, a test prep course, etc. Good luck!

15. Average time to get in to nursing school in Houston?

    liz688 posted a topic in Pre-Nursing

    I am going back to school starting this summer for my pre-reqs. I know that this is different for everyone depending on where they apply, their grades, etc, but in general in the Houston area, what is the average time to get into nursing school for ...
