Congratulations! I am 52, never been in healthcare, and I’ll graduate with my BSN in December. Started back to school full time 2 1/2 years ago. I will be 30 years older than I was when I earned my first bachelors degree. It’s so doable. Your “why” is the difference-maker in how you persevere and finish! Three years ago, I knew I’d be 52 and either doing what I always had, or I’d be on the brink of loving what I’m going to do for the rest of my time here. It’s worth every challenge, stumbling block, and sacrifice. It’s worth all of it!!

Ugh! I haven’t heard this timing yet! I was really hoping we’d know by Wednesday!

I would ask SPECIFICALLY next week if these are acceptable so you know for sure!

Good question! Hopefully they’ll answer this next week during orientation. I managed to get in on ordering some Clove all black shoes last week. I got an email, and it was a limited number pre-sale promo. But I was wondering the same thing before I found those... would black with white soles be okay? Surely that’s okay though!!

Check Fragile Heart CPR. They do AHA certified CPR classes. They have hybrid options.

Right! You can wear one if you want. Some girls, especially, tend to freeze all the time. LOL! I won’t need a jacket. If I’m working, I’m usually hot!

In the online bookstore, search for “Nursing Patch.” The product # is MMS018231107/0. They’re $2.50 each.

I believe you can get your scrubs anywhere. The bookstore sells nursing student patches that need to be sewn on the left shoulder of your scrub tops and jackets/lab coats.

It says agenda will be “posted.” So not clear what this means... email or Canvas? But Canvas should email you any notifications (check your settings), so email is what I check daily.

It will be in Microsoft Teams beginning at 9 AM on July 22nd. Attaching a screen shot of the previous email. You are in the AO-BSN, correct? I know there are other dates for the orientation. You might search for this email in your MyMav email, and/or verify your date with the program administrator just to be sure!

Unless you want to use positive titers in place of proof of immunization, Hep B is the only one for which both immunization proof and positive titers are required.

There is a setting in Canvas to show grades on the Dashboard. That's why mine showed a grade. You have all 26 grades with 100% on each, so you're good!

It’s a course in Canvas. It would have shown up for you automatically back in March.

Is there a thread just for the UTA AO BSN 2023 Cohort?

It gets a little confusion, obviously! Under each of these sections there is a "status" entry which is what they mark when all of your requirements under that section are uploaded, verified and "cleared" by them. I would upload your letter under the Blue Card since they send either the card or a letter, and they are both acceptable. I didn't upload the AHA BLS yet, but make sure and try the one labeled certificate, not status. Hope that helps!

I submitted my blue card and it’s been verified.

I would ask your adviser or the program coordinator for specifics. I've read somewhere in the last week that they will re-evaluate the ranking of those waitlisted after this semester's grades are in. Then start filling the spots from those who have not accepted or who have not fulfilled immunization requirements. And that they'll continue this as spots open and semesters wrap up. Each time they'll re-rank those on the wait list based on grades from completed classes that semester. So, it sounded as if those on the waitlist won't be contacted before the semester ends.

I’m not partnered, but I did have 2 considerations for (1) a previous degree, and (2) 12+ science hrs at UTA. So, I had a whole point added to my total GPA of 7.859. I was nervous even still about getting accepted because the partnered applicants do get preference. Hang it there! You are probably in good shape to come off the wait list as others lose their spots for immunizations and paperwork not being in order!

WOW!! So you have a 4.0! That sucks to have a 4.0 and not get in, but I get the considerations and why they include them. And I'm thankful because that's what ranked me high enough to get accepted. But still, 4.0!! Congrats on that! I transferred in 2 B+'s and 1 B from my previous degree from a million years ago at Baylor. Of course, they all come over as just B's at UTA. Worked my butt off since last January taking 31 credit hours and making sure I got all A's to be competitive. Three of the hours were BIOL1345, which didn't count toward my pre-req hours, so I was 2 hours short of a 3rd consideration for 30+ hours at UTA. But I had all 16 science hours and a previous bachelors, so I got a full point added to my 7.859. Your 4.0 is super impressive. You should be proud! ?

Did you get a titer drawn before you began this current series? If you had a negative titer before you started this current (your 2nd) series, I think you will have to finish the 3-shot series and then show a positive titer, per the vaccine requirements. If you didn’t get a titer done before you started this current series, not sure what they’ll say. Email your documentation and ask at [email protected]. The emails go to *****, and she’s very helpful... unless she’s one of the 2 staff currently reviewing InPlace submissions!

I did the same for Hep-B... the Heplisav 2-shot series, 28 days apart, with titer 30+ days after the 2nd shot.

WOW!! Down into the 6 range? Was that campus, AO, or both?

Acceptance for Summer 2020 or Fall?

Yes! Ready to know NOW! ?

Yes, first week of March. Everything crossed!!!!
