When did y’all get your emails to do the background check? I was part of the second wave of interviews and haven’t received anything about getting the blue card.

@Shealie Brown Congratulations!!

@jc.medina Congratulations!!

I tried it and it didn’t have my info. I emailed one of the advisors and he said to wait because the school hasn’t sent my info yet to do the fingerprint. I know they were saying to do it ASAP but I think there’s enough time after getting an acceptance letter ?

HIGH FIVE! Congratulations! I got my interview this morning today too! You’ll do great I’m sure ??????

@Kristastasney CONGRATULATIONS!! Praying your interview goes well! From other forums I’ve read, many who’ve graduated from the program highly recommend it and liked the program. Granted you can only be taught so much and the rest you learn OTJ but they felt better prepared.

@TTUHSC I hope we get it soon! I’ve been busy at work so that’s helped with the little bit of stress about waiting for a possible interview. I heard there was about 800 applications and I can only imagine what they’re going through! I’m praying that we’ll hear something before the end of the month!

@bjensen4 Oh that’s great! Im sure you knocked that out of the park! This is a good practice before you apply for residency Programs. This is the first program I’ve come across that’s required an interview and resume. Other ones I’ve seen just have forms for you to fill out your work experience. I was going back and forth about having several pages for the different bullets because I don’t think my resume will be one page if I had all their bullets on it (one contributing factor would be Listing the 7 different colleges I went to over the last 10 years?) That’s comforting to know I could really personalize it so they’d have a better understanding of me on paper.

@elizabeth11 I’m on AD Army and I’ve got about 2 years left on my contract. I tried stabilizing at my current duty station but it didn’t go as hoped for so I’ll be PCSing next month. Fortunately, I’ll still be in Texas. I won’t know how my new unit will be if I get accepted, but I’m praying they’ll allow me the time to attend and I’ll make up work hours anywhere and everywhere else in the week. With that being said, how is the course load like? I imagine it’s heavy because it’s accelerated (and I thoroughly enjoy brain frying from quick courses). Are the classes and clinical flexible?

Hello! I’m currently active duty and I wanted to start this thread for myself and anyone else who is currently working on their applications for SP 2021 VBSN! I’m also hoping that anyone who is currently in and an alumni of the program could hook it up with some pointers on the application as well as some insight on how the program is. I understand it’s accelerated so that must be fun! My primary location I’ll be Applying to is Austin and my secondary is San Antonio. I would go to Dallas but I don’t know anyone there if I have to stay the night. Thank you!

@elizabeth11 Hi! I’m looking to apply to the VBSN program for 2021. May I please pick your brain?? Thank you!

@olividav21 hello! I do have some questions about the application process. I’m applying for the VBSN which is like the accelerated BSN but for veterans. I’m assuming their requirements are similar. For the non-academic considerations how did you provide that info? Did you write a page on why you're interested in nursing? And did you just include your work history in your resume or separated that? I hope you’re doing well!

Hello, I'm in the Army and I am interested in the military to RN mobility program at San Antonio College. I've met some soldiers who have friends who are in this program, but it's not the same as actually meeting the person going through. Hopefully this finds some of you and you could help out a battle! So, I have done a semester of nursing at another college and I joined because I knew there were programs for medics to get an RN. I just want to know what made you a competitive candidate-Grades, TEAS score? You don't need to give me an exact, but just how was the teas test? I've taken the HESI, and if any of you are familiar and have taken that, is it similar? How's the program? How are the clinicals scheduled? Was your command willing to work with your schedule if your clinicals fell on duty days? Any extra information is much appreciated. I would have applied for the SP18 term, but I got jacked up with wanting to do every other program the Army had to offer and now that I've sat down and thought everything through, it's pretty much come down to this. All my classes are on the verge of expiration and I don't want to take additional classes and wait longer. Thank you very much!
