You might receive the email closer to the start date. I start on Monday, July 18th and I believe we all received the email yesterday so, it might be the same for y'all.

Texas BON updated my license this morning ??? I PASSED!!

Congratulations!! Practicing and praying so I can say the same! Hopefully by this time next week ??

Damn, that's a lot of SATA ? Every test is different though, since it's computer adaptive testing. I found myself checking out mentally with UWorld and I've realized it's because it's so wordy. My exam is this Friday and I just bought Archer on Monday and I find the questions less wordy. I've also gone back to ATI and I've been doing fairly well with those questions. Did you pass?

I believe their website said October. I think they'll give us the whole schedule on the first day.

July 25

I have an interview with MH-TMC next week. Would anyone mind sharing with me what the interview was like? What were some specific questions that were asked? I applied for the Medicine IMU. The recruiter told me she would know either same day or within 24 hours, is this accurate?

For those who were offered a job How long after the interview did you hear back? Was it the following weekend or when?

UTRGV

They’ve chosen the students. I’d been waiting for my financial aid to come through so I could start the enrollment process, but I’d also applied to a school that’s close to home and cheaper. I got in and I’m so relieved because I’ve already got a degree that my parents paid for and it’s basically useless ??? and Galen is expensive af and I was ready to take out loans bc I felt bad that they would want to pay for that too. I’m planning on rejecting my acceptance on Monday.

I'm so sorry to hear that!! I know it's late, but I hope you're not giving up like I did the first time I applied to nursing school back in '17. Please don't! Keep trying

Check the portal to see if it’s been updated with your status. If not, contact your admissions counselor

Sorry, I didn’t take it. I took the HESI almost three years ago and I got a 96 overall.

Has anyone applied to UTRGV’s BSN program? Especially now that they have a set of of criteria that they are looking for in an applicant that is explicitly stated on their website. They’ve just started an accelerated program and I’m wondering who has applied.

I just got the call that I’ve been accepted!! Still trying to figure out if it’s legitimate cause I’m getting the call on a Saturday and it was from an unknown number, but ??‍♀️??‍♀️

We're not going to find out any time soon. It takes 4-6 weeks, but the admissions counselor I met said students typically hear back in 2-3 weeks. Though I'm wondering if the outbreak might affect anything

I've already met with them. I have the folder with all that information. I took both the TEAS and the HESI, but I sent in the HESI since my score was a lot better on it than the TEAS. My application is complete. I'm asking about the actual program, once you get it. However, I'm still worried about getting in lol

How does your friend like the program so far? How was the admissions process? What did they look for?

for those who got in ... Do you know what they are looking for in an applicant? Do they have a specific type of student they're looking for? I know for the BSN program the Texas BON put a restriction on the program for 40 students since it is not yet accredited.

hey! Wondering if you got into the program and how it is so far if you did?

Yeah, I know I can do it. Especially since my family is able and willing to support me while I do this. My problem is getting together an application that competes because I know that I’ve messed up from start to basically finish for my first degree. I’m just looking for advice on what I can do from here on out since I can’t change what’s been done.

I've figured that just by looking at the program lengths. My personal life is no longer an issue. I know I'm not competitive based on my GPA. Are you saying I shouldn't bother or?

OK, so ... I'm 23 years old and about to graduate with a BS in Public Health from a Texas University Spring '20. I was originally part of the Spring '19 class (I'll get into that explanation later). As we are here, in basically October 2019, I have no work experience other than 'working' with my parents in their clinic whenever I go home. My overall GPA is a 2.95, I believe (the portal is not working as I'm typing this). I applied to two nursing programs for spring '18 (UTHSC in SA and Houston). SA denied me since I had more than 9 credits left and Houston denied me for whatever reason (lol if you know you know). At that time, my GPA was around 3.18. My mom convinced me to do pre-med requirements and I did. I declared a major, Public Health, and started the process of getting those requirements for med school. Those classes brought down my GPA and I don't want to call it depression, but I experienced a lot of self-doubts and just overall sadness of being rejected and now being in a position where I was not happy with myself, my actions, etc. As of Spring 2019, I've given up on pre-med/med school and focused on Public Health. I still want to eventually get my MPH, probably two with what I want to do with my life, but I think I want to reconsider nursing school again. I know there a quite a few Accelerated BSN programs in Texas and I've done minimal research since it's something that I've just started rethinking. Do you guys have any advice on what I should do to make my applications stand out? This coming Spring, I'm only doing an internship (it's the last requirement of my degree), so if you guys have any suggestions on what I should that would help my public health internship AND help make my application stand out, please do. PS I've taken the HESI A2 and TEAS in July of 2017 and got 92% and 86%, respectively. When the portal is working again, I'll my GPAs (major, cumulative, and math/science) Thank y'all soooo much in advance

It's not that ADN programs are less competetive. The prereqs aren't as extensive as the BSN meaning they focus more on just A&P, Microbiology, and sometimes chemistry.

Mine too! I'm scared af right now! I can't even deal right now
