typically, you are required to complete the pre-reqs before you are accepted into a nursing program. this will work to your advantage, since your performance in your pre-req classes will carry a heavier weight than your performance in high school. when you graduate and start school, keep your head down and do as well as you can in your pre-reqs. if you don't get into ut the first time around, do a year somewhere else and bag a 4.0. then transfer to ut. there's more than one way to skin a cat (who came up with that expression?).:)

congratulations!! that's great news kim!

Awesome news Kim! Good luck. Keep us posted!

i'm not sure if it's different for the accellerated program, but for the generic bsn track, you must have 1/2 of your science classes completed at the time of application. i got accepted before i had grades in a&p 2 and chemistry (but i had everything else). but you should definately ask someone at ut to be sure.

i am SO feeling the same thing. every day when i get home from work i sit and stare at my HUGE tower of books and feel like running out of the house screaming! it's going to be such a huge adjustment. i guess the net is still better than what they're doing down at utmb with the cna req. how was pharm kim? i'm scared!

PLEASE don't let them get rid of the coveralls!!! hands down the best deployment uniform ever!

Battle Dress Uniform Typically a fatigue-type uniform (like what you see the guys over in iraq wearing).

congratulations! that's fantastic news!:balloons: :biggringi

the whole concept of a navy job without a ship/shore rotation blows my mind. navy nurses have sea-duty on a volunteer only basis?

i just went through the same problem. i had no luck finding anything working directly with patients, as pretty much all hospitals and clinics require their nurses aides and medical assistants to be liscensed. that said, there are OTHER jobs in hospitals, if you just want to be around. chefs, food servers, gift shop clerks, receptionists, etc. my suggestion is that if you have a marketable skill, find a flexible job in that area until you reach a level in your nursing classes that you can start working safely in a healthcare environment. your instructors will let you know when that is. of course, if you do not have any work experience at all, find something you think looks fun, and do it for an employer who will work with your schedule. home depot, for example, is a great employer. they start their employees off at higher than average wages, and will give their part time workers a rigid schedule (which is OH SO NICE when you have a rigid school schedule). whatever you find, i hope you enjoy it. best of luck!

ugh! don't remind me!! i'll be going to ut-h after the break, but i think we have like 9 weeks left. still enough time to COMPLETELY forget a&p!
