5. Texas Tech Second Degree BSN

   RN2BENAUSTIN replied to ellekunk's topic in Texas

   chelsmarie15.. Funny you should ask about the NCLEX. I just took mine today and will find out on Thursday. So far everyone in our cohort has passed. And I believe there are only 3 more students taking it tomorrow. So if the last few of us pass, it wi...

   RN2BENAUSTIN replied to TxPedsRN's topic in Texas

7. Texas Tech Second Degree BSN

   RN2BENAUSTIN replied to ellekunk's topic in Texas

   AustinurseBSN...I'm a current student and you should be able to find the cost of tuition on the main Tech website. It may have changed but the program has cost me about 21,000. I was able to get student loans to cover it. And Tech does a great job of...

   Hi NAM123~ I am actually wrapping up a BSN degree, will be done in 48 days (but who's counting?). I opted for the second degree accelerated BSN program with Tech and I am so happy I did. The program is very intense, but I feel confident that I am rea...

9. Texas Tech Second Degree BSN

   RN2BENAUSTIN replied to ellekunk's topic in Texas

   need2banurse~ My best advice would be to go for it, our cohort size was about 30 I believe and I think they said 120 applied? I know ACC and UT are competitive too - so don't let that hold you back. The Tech program is the most intense out of the thr...

    RN2BENAUSTIN replied to ellekunk's topic in Texas

    luvlimandee... Congrats on getting an interview! That's half the battle:yeah: I was one of the few that got in without clinical experience. Having experience does help, several of the students were CA's before starting. I felt like they had an advant...

11. Accelerated BSN Programs For Those Who Want To Move Into Nursing

    RN2BENAUSTIN replied to VickyRN's topic in Educators

    Txgirl912 - I took the pre reqs at ACC - my first degree is in Journalism - so I had to take Statistics and Chem on top of the other requirements. You will want your core sciences to be current anyway, and try to get a firm grasp on A&P as it wil...

12. Texas Tech and Texas A&M Accelerated BSN

    RN2BENAUSTIN replied to JordanN713's topic in Texas

    Sorry Greenee313 - I just saw your question - I was pretty nervous in the interview. But I will tell you that I know the standard "why do you want to be a nurse?" and then for this program they asked about computer skills and stress management. But I...

13. Texas Tech and Texas A&M Accelerated BSN

    RN2BENAUSTIN replied to JordanN713's topic in Texas

    Wow - talk about close ended questions - I'm super organized to the point of annoyance and I have very little tolerance for lack of organization. With 3 kids and doing a program like this, its necessary! I can assure you this program is neither chao...

    RN2BENAUSTIN replied to VickyRN's topic in Educators

    I started Texas Tech's 12 month 2nd BSN program in January and I love it. Its very intense, just to give you an example of my week. We have a head to toe assessment practicum this Thursday, a proctored exam on Friday, I start my clinicals at Seton Ma...

15. Texas Tech and Texas A&M Accelerated BSN

    RN2BENAUSTIN replied to JordanN713's topic in Texas

    If you look at the website, there is an application tab that will tell you all about the process, there is also a tab for pre reqs. You will see that Tech requires you take a CNA class as a pre req - if at all possible I would recommend doing that an...
