UTHSCSA Accelerated BSN 2019

Nursing Students School Programs

Published

Hey guys! I haven't seen a thread for the accelerated BSN for summer 2019, so I decided to make one. The deadline for admission is December 15th!

I still haven't taken my TEAS exam since I still need to finish some of my prereqs this summer. But once I get it done I will post my TEAS and gpa stats on here! Feel free to comment something down below :)

Hello thank you for starting this thread I am also applying to UTHSCSA ACCLERATED BSN PROGRAM SUMMER 2019. I am finishing up my prereqs I plan on taking my TEAS test either late August or in September. I will post my GPA STATS once I take my TEAS. Have a great day.

Hello! I'm thinking of applying to the accelerated program as well. Do you guys know when the application on NursingCAS will open? I've been checking but I haven't seen it pop-up.

Hi I'm also applying for the accelerated 2019 BSN program! Hopefully I can take my TEAS in September or October. Anyone have any study tips? Also I'm pretty sure the application opens once the previous application cycle closes and the new application cycle starts.

Thanks for the reply!

I strongly recommend getting the ATI study manual and buying practice exams A & B. I studied the ATI study manual and supplemented it with the Kaplan TEAS review book. I don't know if I can say this...but a tip for the practice exams is to take screen shots as you go along! You can only take each exam twice and they don't let you review what you got wrong after.

How it's set up: answer one question then they tell you if you got it right or wrong. Then the next question appears and so on. For me, I found that it was very annoying because I paid so much for the practice exams but couldn't review it whenever I wanted after completing the practice.

I also went to the nearest bookstore with a cafe and tried to take all the practice exams from different publishers they had available.

For the science section, definitely watching youtube videos helped! Crash course and Khan Academy really helped. And don't under-estimate the reading, english, and math section! Really try to be diligent in getting as much practice on these sections as well!!

On test day: What I found that helped me a lot was using up all the time allotted on each section. I never completed the section before the clock ran out. I reviewed each question, even if I thought it was an easy question. And then taking a short bathroom break between each section also really helped!

I didn't do amazingly well but I did see a slight improvement when I retook it. I went from a composite score of 81.3% to 88.7% Hope this helps and good luck!!

Hi! I am also planning on applying for the accelerated UTHSCSA nursing program for summer 2019. Is anyone else applying that are still taking science/math prerequisites? The application is due December 15th but I am unsure if my final grades will be finalized by then. Is anyone in the same boat as me?

Sorry, I finished all my prereqs by this summer so I don't have an answer for you. Maybe calling or emailing an advisor will be more helpful?

Guys I am stressing!!! My application is in and all steps are complete. Are any of you applying to the traditional BSN program as well? Do you know if we have to pay a separate application fee for this?

Hello, has anyone already taken there TEAS exam. I'm scheduled to take my TEAS exam on November 10th, 2018

I have, I took mine about a month ago

Okay thank you; if you do not mind me asking how was it?

It helps to take the practice test that are offered through the TEAS website. They prepared me the most. I studied extremely hard for about a week. I got a few practice books and brought them with me everywhere. I pre tested before studying at the beginning of the week and got a 79. Each practice test (with study) got a little better. I finished my studying by taking the online practice test like I said and it helped so much. The practice test was formatted a lot like the test, and took all of my stress away. I took the test and it stressed me out the entire weekend (I took it Friday, and did not get the results till like the following Tuesday) My final grade was a 92. I did the worst in the grammar department. My only regret was not studying that section more.
