I would put the GPA from your nursing degree only, meaning the GPA since you started your nursing program; everything else would contribute to overall GPA. Do you have an ADN or BSN?

I don't see how that will make you a more competitive candidate. I thought everyone has to have it before starting the program, is that right?

I would call to make sure they didn't forget about you. However, to be honest, if you didn't get an interview at this point in time, I would start getting ready for the bad news and start applying for the next cycle, which you already did.

I would not let anyone drag me down. Be yourself and your best - everything else will fall in place. If they are good friends, they will support you and motivate you. If not, well, they are not good friends then.

I can't wait!

What is a competitive HESI score for ABAC?

Thank you for this insightful information. I want to dig a little deeper into your professional career. After graduating from your nursing school (BSN), were you able to get an ICU job right away? How difficult was it finding an ICU position?

Could you please provide a source for this information about the upcoming changes to NCLEX? I am trying to google but nothing shows up. Thanks!

That's crazy that they are still getting the class filled, even though summer semester is about to start. I guess in our case, some of us will not hear anything from UTH until August.

Hope for the best, expect the worst.

That's my understanding as well.

I would also stick to the same teacher as you'll know the testing pattern and how to study to make a good grade!

The bar has been going higher and higher.

Unfortunately, they don't look at experience as a deciding factor in selecting applicants for admission.

Breathe and Eat A&P for the duration of the class.

Holy moly! Congrats! About time they sent acceptance letters.

Exactly! I took a 3-week nutrition class because it is not as critical as A&P for nursing school. I would not take a 4-week A&P class - whoever came up with the idea to make a class like this is only focused on making money, not teaching stud...

Congrats on your acceptance to the other program! What school is that?

What was your initial TEAS score that didn't get you in? I wonder what the average TEAS score for UTMB is, does anyone know?

It's on their main website. There is a link for it on the right side of the website.

I did. They actually recommend doing so.

I can't wait! This wait is so painful

No, if there will be question about a disease, it will be a very simple and a well-know one. Focus on the anatomy and physiology. Text book helped me a lot because it covers everything you need to know. How much time to study do you have?

IMHO yes, it is worth it! You'll get a chance to take the test twice. Also, after taking the practice test you'll be familiar with the format of the test, wording of the questions, and most importantly - your weaknesses. Each practice test is $46 - I...

TEAS is fun! :) lol it's not too bad. Have you taken the practice test A and B? I took practice test A and I feel like it helped a lot.
