No problem! Good luck!

The professors are good! In your first semester you will start 5 weeks into the program so after spring break. Unless they change it.

Hi! Congratulations on your acceptance into Tech!!!! I would personally rent any books you don't have to have access codes for. Look at the bottom of your booklist and purchase what you can from lippincott's site at the bottom of the list. It's usually cheaper than other sites. Get a good stethescope. Davis q&a fundamentals book is a life saver! It's not a book on the list but definitely buy it. Make a weekly to do list for all your assignments to stay on top of them and try to do all the busy work in the beginning before clinicals start. Mostly breathe. If you have any questions please feel free to ask.

Has anyone made a facebook page for the cohort?

It is! It can be overwhelming at first but if you use a calendar and weekly to do lists to plan out your study week it makes it a lot more manageable. Good luck to you all!

It was my first time applying. My GPA was 3.68 and my science GPA was 3.75. My hesi was a 90.8. I do think that really helped but there are also people in my cohort who had an 80 on their hesi. What I love about tech is theres no one thing they look at. They literally look at you as a whole person instead of just a grade. Only one person interviewed me. It didn't last that long. Only 20 minutes. They interviewed 90 people out of 250 applicants and said they were accepting 80. I could be wrong but believe the 10 who weren't automatically accepted were put on a waitlist. I was so stressed when I went for my interview but I tried to just be myself. I think they just want to make sure that who you are on paper is also who you are in person.

They usually send out interview dates and acceptance letters on Fridays at 5:00. If any of you have questions let me know. I'm happy to help!

Hi everyone! I stumbled across your thread and thought I'd comment. I'm currently studying at GGHSON and remember how nerve wracking the interview process was. It's really not as bad as you all are imagining it. Breathe. Just practice some answers before you go but don't go in sounding reheorificed. just have a general idea about what you want to say. Also, go in dressed to impress. Bring a portfolio (I included letters of recommendation from my professors attesting to the type of student I am, my resume, personal statement, and a cover letter thanking them for their time and that I was looking forward to studying there) make sure you ask questions about the program during the interview. Be engaged. It's a very rigorous program so they want to make sure you are up to the task. If you have retaken classes tell them what you learned from that (better study habits? Taking it more serious?) If you got an interview your chances of getting in are pretty good so breathe, go in there and be yourself. Also save like $2000 because supplies add up FAST.

I've just been accepted into the Gayle Greve Hunt School of Nursing and was wondering what tips you all have for new people starting the nursing program? What supplies have you purchased that you love? What nursing youtube channels have helped expand your knowledge for classes/clinicals?

I'll be applying for my BSN program in July and was thinking about joining the Air Force as a nurse upon graduation. I haven't spoken to a recruiter yet as from what I've heard they start to harass you about joining when you give them your information. Can anyone tell me how hard it is to become a nurse when you graduate? From what I've seen it looks very competitive. My goal is to be a L&D nurse. Are these spots as limited as I'm assuming they are? If you get picked up for one specialty can you go into a different one over time? How often do nurses deploy? If there's anything you wish you had known before joining please share.
