  1. UTHSC Traditional BSN Spring 2014 Applicants

    mcf011, I park at garage 8 on the SW corner of Pressler & Holcombe. I walk to school from there which is about 1/2 mile and takes 10 min or so, but there's a TMC blue shuttle that you can take if you don't feel like walking - that's what I took f...

    Haha well health assessment doesn't have lecture, just lab time. Care you'll be in the skills lab until you start clinicals, and there's maybe 1 or 2 sim labs or something after that. They're switching to pacesetter only next spring. Yeah you just do...
  3. UTHSC Traditional BSN Spring 2014 Applicants

    Yeah it's just people talking, some of it's worthwhile and other things aren't. Navy blue scrubs. You wear them for clinical and anytime you're in the skills lab, which will be every Monday for health assessment, the first 6 Tuesdays for care 1, and ...
  4. UTHSC Traditional BSN Spring 2014 Applicants

    Yeah, there's a HESI for every class. You'll take a fundamentals (for care I), patho, and health assessment HESI first semester. I think they're doing the pharm HESI in the last semester now. There's also med/surg (for care 2), psych, OB, pedi, leade...

    Yes, and there is a form that you will need to bring with you to have filled out. https://nursing.uth.edu/prospstudent/applresources/documents/physicalexamform.pdf
  6. UTHSC Traditional BSN Spring 2014 Applicants

    I've heard of people not receiving acceptance letters until the week before classes actually started, so you want to make sure you're as ready to go as possible!

    UT Houston doesn't make you pay a deposit! For those that are still waiting, I recommend looking up what vaccines are required for the schools you applied to and get anything that you don't have yet, also get a TB test if you haven't had one in the p...
  8. UTHSC Traditional BSN Spring 2014 Applicants

    I wouldn't read ahead because you won't be responsible for all the info in the book (and you don't need the book for pharm, btw), the instructors will narrow it down for you so that you know what to study for tests. I went into nursing school thinkin...
  9. UTHSC Traditional BSN Spring 2014 Applicants

    & to those of you still waiting to be accepted, as long as you meet the criteria, don't give up hope! There was someone in my class who was accepted like, the day before classes started. Not everyone who's been accepted will decide to go to UT, o...

    We'll see how it goes, I personally like the traditional program and find it disappointing they're not offering the choice anymore... Patho and pharm were challenging but I enjoyed both classes and did well in them. The instructors for these classes ...

    Also, just as a heads up in case you haven't heard, the school sent out an email yesterday notifying us that they're transitioning to the pacesetter program only, starting in spring 2014.
  12. UTHSC Traditional BSN Spring 2014 Applicants

    Congratulations to everyone who was accepted! I'm currently an S1 (third semester) at UTHSC so I might see some of you around next spring. To the person trying to decide between UTHSC and HBU, I've met quite a few nurses during clinicals who went to ...
  13. UTHSC-Houston Spring 2013

    The school was advertising a $89/month contract that's supposedly a "discount" price. If I remember correctly, it wasn't even that close to campus. There's others where you can pay for the whole semester. I don't know the details but I found this w/g...
  14. UTHSC-Houston Spring 2013

    Yeah, it's horrible. I think the garages closer to campus are $12/day(!!!) and the one across the street on Holcombe (garage 2 if I remember correctly) is like 8 levels or something ridiculous. So I can only imagine how much of a pain it is to get in...
  15. UTHSC-Houston Spring 2013

    If there's a convenient metro route near you, or a park and ride or something, you might want to consider that. Or take the shuttle if you can. I don't take the metro so I don't really have much info on it. I park at garage 8 on the corner of Pressle...
