Hi there! I accepted admission several weeks ago, full-time, to the FNP track as well! I graduated nursing school from Tech in Fall 2019, been in the MICU for 14 months prior to getting my acceptance letter. Don't let your "lack of bedside" exp...

The program begins in Jan, graduation is in December! I graduated in Dec 2019 (Wreck em!). I don't think anyone in my specific cohort is in the NICU but more than half of us are employed in the ICU, one student even is in the OR which is definitely n...

So some books you can totally get older editions and be just fine while others, it's more difficult. I 100% read the pediatric, maternal/newborn, medsurg, & pharm books cover to cover. Some books have basically the same info as one edition prior,...

I wish you well on your quest...not saying this to be a debbie downer at all BUT - I hope your work has extremely flexible hours only because our schedules can be really unpredictable. While it is true that they try to give us all our exam and confer...

Danskos are great since they’re a firm sole but I stopped wearing mine because they got to be too heavy and honestly I was scared I was going to trip in them haha. Definitely depends on the person!

Nope the soles are white! Here’s the ones I have https://www.nordstromrack.com/shop/product/2917050?color=BLK&utm_source=adlucent&utm_medium=feeds&utm_content=google&utm_channel=shopping_acq_p&sid=545650&a...

Honestly, they did not care about our shoes as long as they were the correct color. You’re going to be on your feet a TON, so definitely buy something that is going to be supportive and comfortable! I’ve been wearing Saucony Ride ISO’s in black all y...

I would purchase from a storefront like Life Uniform or maybe Allheart.com! I’m upgrading to a cardiology stethoscope since I’ll be in critical care and I plan to use allheart. They have some specials going on plus a 10% off your first purchase ? als...

Congrats on your admission! ? I'll try to keep this as short & sweet as possible 1) It is highly unlikely you'll be able to work part-time; mostly because you will on average be in clinical 2xs a week, sometimes 3xs a week when you have specialt...

You’re correct that you’ll never have courses on the weekends but it is very likely you’ll be in clinical on some weekends depending on your nurse preceptor’s schedule! Some have have asked about working - it definitely is doable but makes your life...

Hi! 1) I feel like based on the forum from last year, the majority of students that received interviews were offered admission. It all seemed like a blur, but I honestly only remember maybe 3-4 people posting about not being offered a position. If yo...

Hey y'all, Last year, we heard back right at the 3-week mark; hang in there, I KNOW it's agonizing. Some of you have reached out to me during this time of anticipation, and I just wanted to post on here what I have told some of you already: There was...

Hang in there you guys! I’d be super surprised if you didn’t hear something by the end of this week/next week. Try to distract yourself as much as possible and keep an eye on that email! I know now it feels like an eternity, it will all be over soo...

I just wanted to hop on here to give y’all some encouragement. I remember being antsy myself last year & just know that this program is great but isn’t always the most organized. Try not to get in your heads too much and over analyze, things hav...

Don’t get discouraged! Tech cares about more than just a perfect GPA! It is a factor but they’ll look at TEAS score, resume, work experience if any, etc! ?

I took HPRS - 2301 Be careful that you don’t register for the wrong one because it was super confusing when I registered and I had to call the TTU SON for clarification to make sure I took the correct one since ACC has more than one patho course!

Hey! Currently in ATX cohort - I took the online summer patho with Professor Nancy Glass & it transferred just fine ?

Hi there! Also in the Austin cohort. • Cumulative GPA 3.88 (biology undergrad) • TEAS comprehensive score 95 • Worked full time as a PCT in an ICU for 8mos before starting school • some volunteer experience at the hospital prior to my job (not a to...

Hi! Currently in the program in Austin, have lived here my whole life. Don't waste your time and money on many of the CNA courses in Austin. If you are able to get a job as a PCT at a hospital, you can use that experience in lieu of the CNA certifica...

Thank you so much! Semester one was crazy but it is 100% manageable. Yes, you do take 19 didactic hours, but never all at once. The most busy my schedule ever got was taking Pharmacology II, Essentials in Nursing, Foundations in Nursing, and clinical...

Hi everyone! I am a student in the Austin 2019 cohort and I was RELIGIOUSLY on the forum for the 2019 students. If you have any questions, concerns, or need a pep talk, please reach out. I love helping others and would love to connect with anyone app...

If you go to the SON website, it's just shy of 8k for 20 credit hours! So probably a little under 24k for ALL tuition, fees, book, etc! :) http://www.fiscal.ttuhsc.edu/studentbusserv/collateral/estimates/2018-2019/School%20of%20Nursing/BSN%20Accel%2...

Perfect! I'm at work so if you can't do it soon, PLEASE do. [email protected]

I know a wonderful realtor who can help you locate an apartment or home if you need it! So glad you got accepted! I'll be making an Austin cohort Facebook group later tonight!

I was going to apply at A&M as well but wanted to wait to hear back from ttu before I paid the ApplyTexas fee - I'm so glad I waited! Congrats on your acceptance as well!
