rnpriis, THANK YOU FOR THE ADVICE! It is greatly appreciated. I will be applying for Spring 2019 as well. Are you in Dallas or Houston? I honestly think that regardless of what area you're in, we could all help each other.

Nice guy, I am ordering the ATI TEAS Secrets & I'm using cliff note books (A&P, Biology, & Chemistry) that I purchased from Barnes & Nobles.

AMEN! Speak that into existence! Power lies in the tongue...

Awesome! I'm going to try private messaging you my information. I'll place it in the thread if I can not. :-)

Anita23, I'm in Houston, but are you willing to skype & study?

Callinshotz, here in Houston we don't have the advantage of that program. I really think they should offer it at my local campus as well. It would help many people who can only attend school at night and/or weekends.

amch, I'm not a current student & for that I apologize, but I had the same issue witty them. After receiving my 1st degree, I looked into UTA for their accelerated BSN. I was immediately overwhelmed with the calls that flowed in on a daily basis. I can tell you that my best friend graduated from UTA a few years ago & she recently was accepted into their NP program & transferred to a different University. I will tell you that I do know even if you take your pre-nursing courses with them, it isn't a guarantee that you'll be accepted. It's just a chance you must be willing to take. Have you applied to other accelerated programs in the State of TX? Corpus Christi has a very decent program from what I've been told by BSN graduates.

I have a question for you all. I have a Bachelors of Science in Respiratory Care & two associate degrees. I was only looking into 2nd degree or accelerated programs, but am I going backwards if I apply for adn programs as well? I have to pay out of pocket...no fin aid or scholarships. I'm on my own with this. Any advice is greatly appreciated.

I was only studying for the HESI, but every school that I'm looking into is asking for the TEAS. The issue I'm running into is which TEAS manual I should study from. There us TEAS V & then there is TEAS VI. Any advice?

I've never had it as a prerequisite. I took A&P years ago & just took Bio for the first time this past semester. Even when I applied to U of H years ago, it wasn't a prerequisite.

Niknik718, with all due respect, I must disagree with your statement. While you're looking at it one sided, try to look at it another way. It's not that people don't care or they don't really want something, but it's the fact that many people LOST EVERYTHING in Harvey. Also, some people aren't as fortunate when it comes to finances to have everything turned in early. There are many students who have families & are just trying to make ends meet. Not all students have the luxury of receiving financial aid, live with family or friends, nor have money flowing abundantly. I don't see how anyone could be upset about this when some even lost their family members during Harvey. It's understandable that you've tried & been denied over & over, but up can still try later. These people will never be able to get their loved ones back. My friend who was trying to go back to school lost everything in Harvey & is currently homeless with 3 children. Now, maybe you're very young & maybe not, but please learn compassion if you're going to go into the Nursing field. I wish you all the best in your journey. God bless!

What's her pulse ox? Are you asking what her oxygen saturation once the oximeter is applied?

If you're old then I shouldn't even try. I have a degree in another healthcare field, but I'm starting in the Nursing field at 35. I'll be completely finished with the degree I want in nursing by 41.

Did anyone have to take General Biology as a prerequisite for A&P? I've never heard of this & it must be new. Any comments are appreciated.

Well, my birthday just passed on the 31st of December & I can't believe I turned 35. I'm grateful for it; however, I feel as if I haven't accomplished anything. Well, I received my Bachelors of Science in Respiratory this past May. I have been an RT for over 2 years now, but I want & need more opportunities. I have been looking into AA & PA programs, but nursing has ALWAYS been in the back of my mind. So, my goals for 2018 is: 1.) Figure out if I'm going to complete my nursing degree or PA degree 2.) Accept the fact that my oldest is graduating in the next few months 3.) Lose weight 4.) Be happy 5.) ...and just LIVE, LOVE, & LAUGH
