Just got my acceptance email from UT Tyler and have a interview with UTEP next week for the Spring 2023 semester. I would appreciate input from anyone that has experience with either of these programs. Thanks

I think it took about 2 months. I applied in August and was notified in October. I did not have psych inpatient experience. Primarily ER and some med/surg.

Just wrapping up the first year of this program. Advanced Health Assessment has been the most difficult class in my opinion. In addition to the 4 exams throughout the semester you have shadow health modules, derm for primary care, apea, and 2 pass/fa...

Currently in my second semester with UT Tyler. Overall I think the program is good. I wish the courses focused more on psych specific content, but I guess that happens in later courses. Patho, pharm, and advanced health assessment cover a lot of cont...

Thanks for all the input Shoshanna, you have been very helpful.

I'm full time, looks like I should finish one semester ahead of the part time students.

I haven't really studied with anyone, but I think some others have met up on zoom to review for tests.

4 test over the lectures, APEA quiz banks final, and doing the quiz banks assignments amounts to a test grade. Have to have test average of 80 to pass the course. Requires a lot of studying. The course is split between 2 teachers and they teach/write...

The test in patho are all scheduled on Monday and you have a 4 hour window to take the test, but it shuts off at noon whether you're done or not. I think you have 90 minutes to take the test from the time you start. 50 questions per test. Test requir...

I'm wrapping up my first semester with UT Tyler. Overall the program seems good. Patho is a lot of studying, but that's to be expected. Translation science 1 is evidence based practice and doing rapid critical appraisal of a quantitative, qualitative...

That does sound pretty terrible. I've known some people who went to UTA for FNP and the workload sounded tedious, so I didn't bother applying. I did my BSN through Texas Tech. Overall the program was pretty straightforward, mostly just wrote pa...

I'll probably go with UT Tyler because the campus is much closer than El Paso. Do you not like the program at UT Arlington?

I received an email a day after the status changed on the website.

That's rough, waiting sucks. At least I know that I was not accepted. My application status changed on July 5th to "reject". Never even got to interview. I sent a letter inquiring if there was anything particularly unappealing about my application ...

Well, my application status changed to "Decision made: reject" which I was already anticipating. I'm not too upset about it though. I figure things work out as they should.

Congrats!

I did not apply to any other programs. I will do some research and soul searching to decide if I want to reapply again soon or just spend some time enjoying life. Although I would love to continue my education, I also enjoy not stressing out about sc...

Congrats on getting an interview! Let us know how it goes and what kind of questions they ask. I haven't heard anything either Moya. Did you apply to any other programs? UTEP was my only application.

I applied, haven't heard anything yet. Good luck!
