Not the person you messaged but I can answer this for you. To be honest, everything is kind of run terribly. As a first semester student right now, we have had to be "flexible" a lot. At orientation they said nursing school is ALL about being flexible...and they definitely mean it. Every class you have is online and it's a weekly zoom call for teachers to lecture on material for exams. But the lectures aren't conclusive and there's definitely things that are missing from reviews. Plus they say not to pay attention to things because it won't be on the exam...but it ends up being on it LOL. The program being 12 months is HARD. Multiple teachers have told us they want to give props to us for deciding to do a 12 month program because it is brutal. Yes, you can do it and pass but be prepared to do a lot in a small amount of time. We have exams pretty much biweekly in our main courses that each cover between 15-20 chapters. Plus discussions in the easier classes that are almost biweekly as well. BUT I will say if you are good at independently being responsible for what you need to do and you find a reallllly good group of friends to study/help each other, it makes a world of a difference in this program. I'm not sure how to chat outside of this platform but if you'd like to get more info from a current 1st semester student, let me know!

Not the person you messaged but I can answer some of it! I just started. I’m at the downtown campus so not sure if it’s different environment there or not. With academics it’s all the same, you have to maintain a 75 test average. It hasn’t been that hard to do for me but I also don’t work on the side and have little other responsibilities aside school. I love my lab professor at the downtown location! We have a couple but the main one is really really nice and wants us to learn. I have heard not amazing things about the lab professor at the other campus, but I also can not give you my experience with her cause I have none, just from what other people in my cohort have said. Didactly, I have less than stellar experiences with some of my teachers so I’ve just decided to keep my head down, do the work, and either ask my cohort questions or only interact with some teachers through discussion boards for help. I would say the best thing is the peers. We have a cohort chat and thus far, everyone’s been nice and helpful and someone is always willing to go out of their way to help and it’s been a big part of why school hasn’t completely sucked LOL

Ah okay! I was thinking if I do the interactive quizzes, listen and take notes from her lectures, attend the calls she does, I should be fine and use the book to supplement/read more if I have questions about a specific concept. I study way better when I don’t “read to get it done” kind of thing! THANK YOU SO MUCH

Any advice on how to read all the material for pathopharm and study for the exams wirh (MODERATOR EDIT OF NAME)? ? the sheer amount of reading in general is overwhelming right now

I submitted before July 1st and found out July 22nd. My GPA was 3.4 and my HESI was 94 I think? I had to retake my HESI for A&P

Any teachers we should avoid if possible? (Even though I know there’s not much selection). And if we can’t avoid any kind of advice for those classes/teachers?

Hi! Would it be possible to ask you questions about teachers for classes??

Ahh okay! I just was accepted last Friday and I’m about to email my accept/pay my deposit so I assume my advisor woudl tell me this after I finished those things! That’s actually super convenient then! Is the downtown location their normal campus in Houston?

Wait I didn't know there was a downtown site?
