UTA AO BSN Fall 2018 Applicant - Need advice!
I was told by a registration representative that I would just have to complete those other four before the actual program starts in August '18. So I would have all Spring and Summer to complete them, to my understanding. Could be wrong, however. Also, I am living in Fort Worth!

Career changer in need of guidance!
It is the accelerated online BSN program at UTA. Classes online and clinicals at a partner hospital in the area, I believe. Also, if I'm not totally mistaken, the science pre-req courses, including labs, are available online through the program. I'm curious as to how the labs will work as well, drag & drop computer simulations? Will be interesting to see. Thank you!

Career changer in need of guidance!
Hello everyone, I'll try to keep this short. My fiance has been an RN for almost a year and has her BSN from UTMB - Galveston. She has always tried to talk me into becoming a nurse, but I didn't give it any thought. I have full-time work as a financial analyst but it isn't what I had hoped it would be. So, lately, more and more nursing seems like something I want/need to do. However, I don't exactly know where to start. I have a BBA in Finance with a GPA of 3.3. Not great, but I sort of had school on the back-burner in my first go around. It looks like in order to get into UT-Arlington's Online program as soon as possible, I will have to take a few prereqs BEFORE the January 15 application deadline. I need: -Bio for Nurses -A&P I -A&P II -Chem -Microbiology So, my questions are: Does this schedule seem unreasonable while working full-time? I would obviously quit my job upon acceptance to the CON, but not until then. 8/14 - 10/16 Bio for Nurses 8/14 - 12/1 Chem 10/16 - 12/1 A&P I 10/16 - 12/1 Microbiology Also, do you all have any other advice regarding my situation? I guess by the time I applied to the CON I'd have two additional considerations (12 UTA hours and a degree), but I know nothing of my chances or if having a different background helps... etc. Thanks for any feedback you may have!
