Alas! Here I go again! This thread is dedicated to all hopefuls to either of the programs- AP or traditional. Let's partake in the sharing of ideas, suggestions, and/or insight in the "intricacies" of this nursing program. Former grads, new or cur...

Wow! It has been a minute since I've been on this thread. 830 posts and counting?! Awesome! Congrats to all who have been accepted/waitlisted...including me- yes...waitlisted for AP; denied for traditional. @McKinneyMom & Libra1018- Congrats! R...

Took my boards on 08.23.11 and received license on 08.25.11 from the Texas Board of Nursing. Hallelujah! :bow:Long road...with juggling VN and BSN pre-reqs concurrently. Trying to find work is another issue; however, if I don't have anything else, I ...

@tejas03, Libra1018...and everyone lurking on this thread! hee hee Thanks for your kind words and encouragement. This has been a trying, exhausting year...but I still press on. This morning, I received confirmation that perseverance will pay off a...

@cristyk85 Personally, I would not take two sciences + labs in one semester...that would be overkill. Try registering for a science per semester with a liberal arts course- something that won't require too much of your time. It's all about balance. I...

@tejas03 Awww, shucks! You are awesome! It's YOU who deserve kudos- three kids AND a full-time student...AND a husband?! Aw, lawd! Not for the faint of heart. To God be the Glory! I take my boards on 08.23 and everything is riding on this. For bette...

Thank you for clarifying, aret21. Hmmm. I am not trying to "flame" this program; however, I would be remiss if not to post what I do know: (a) The TBON is ultra conservative. There aren't too many things that they would put up with. If, by chance,...

Hello, all! We need to catch up! Glad to see that this thread is jumpin'! Just finished the summer session- wicked, wicked, WICKED! Studying for boards + studying for summer courses= deadly combination! Too embarrassed to even talk about my grades......

UH-V is a new program, so the jury is still out on that one. If the trend continues, the program may be subjected to probation or worse- the loss of approval. In order to sit for the NCLEX-RN, you must have graduated from an approved institution/pr...

Hello, carrie380! I think that's doable. You can figure out what you need to make by dividing the total number of credits by the total number of hrs. This school doesn't have a minimum TEAS V score, but try to attain at least the average percentage-...

It's held at the Central campus and has the same criteria as the Traditional/Day program. Because personal info is banned on this site, I can't give out specifics. Contact the Nursing Department for details.

@tejas03 I ended up with a B in Pharm...and I'm good with that! I received that email on 7.21.11 from E.F. (for those of us currently at UTA, we all know who this is), and it was some sort of "status" email. It also indicated that CON hopes to send...

Sorry, my friend...there aren't any. You would be hard-pressed to find any in the US for that matter. The BON requires a set amount of contact hrs that must be adhered to by the institution as a requirement for approval. In order to sit for the NCLE...

Ahhh...yes. Your feelings are justifiable and warranted. You are not bitter or disgrunted; just simply HUMAN and need a BREAK! I do empathize with you as I have been there, done that and continue to do it! I will not reiterate what's already been st...

@tejas03 and Libra1018 The both of you ROCK! Surely, there's more love on this board! @tejas03 I can't wait to be finished either. This semester has licked my butt for real, but I still endure. We shall see. As for pharm, I had this class last sem...

OK. I take that as a "no."

Question: For those applying to the On-Campus Program, did you receive a "status" email? Very interesting. Does anyone have knowledge and/or experience regarding this process?

@tejas03 You are the BESTEST! My classes are fast and furious as well. I'm still trying to catch up! But thanks be to God for grace- every one of my professors extended deadlines since the beginning of the semester! Hallelujah! There's a chance that ...

@tejas03 Hey, you! I hope your summer classes are going well. As far as your sciences are concerned, I'm afraid that you may have to retake the A&P since most schools have a five yr requirement; however, I think you can get away with the chemis...

Hello, everyone! 750 applicants...wow. Not surprising, though thanks to some creative online marketing. It's been a while since I've been on this thread, but it's looking like the place to be! Very sticky, indeed. For those of us who have been dow...

Yes...June 15th is mighty early for a Spring start; UTA's was June 1st. What's awful about this is that you won't know your fate until late Fall. Where's the logic in that?? Go figure.

Yup...that's about right. Well, folks! The saga continues...

From previous threads, it appears that interviews won't be scheduled until September-October. We shall see...

@curious_8 This thread is for BSN applicants. Congrats on your acceptance!

@sarahcooper Most students choose their preceptors at their place of employment (e.g. fellow co-workers, management, etc), which is the easiest and logical choice. The school has specifics regarding the credentials of potential preceptors and will p...
