How competitive is it to get into UTA, TWU, TCU, or Baylor (Texas) for BSN ? Just wondering if there are any nursing students, grads or recent grads who are from north Texas area? How competitive are the schools in the area? I am currently taking...

Hello, I'm new to the site so bare with me I am interested in going to school for a BSN with RN. Yeah! It took me a few months to decide. I went to a Pharmacy Technician program and am a CPhT. I make great pay but I know I want to do something more....

Thanks, I am looking it up right now. ...I think I'll just stick to TCC as it better complements my work schedule. I don't mean to come off as bothersome but have the majority of your nursing classmates came from a transfer like TCC or did they atten...

karaelaine i would really love to attend uta but how flexible are their classes? i mean, can you take pre-req classes at night? like i do at tcc tues and thur nights 6-720 and 730-850pm? i've read that the universities do prefer to choose students t...

"how many pre-reqs do you have left or have you finished them all?" karaelaine it's my first year in any college and i am a freshman! ha! i am just getting started. but i am extremely excited about everything- school and life. i knew we had to take p...

That's great. I did speak with a great counselor as well over which courses I need to take that would most likely be transferred over to a nearby nursing school. I do not plan on moving. I wasn't a straight A student so I just want to keep my GPA as...

thanks karaelaine . i hope to get accepted into uta. i never took my sat's and just went to tcc for my pre-reqs. i didn't realize there were that many students that apply. i plan on keeping my gpa perfect. so basiclly do i have to keep my gpa in all ...

WOW! Finally I thought I was the only one who felt this way. I am in a the same situation. I work M-F 9-5:30 and I took my first college course in winter 08.-English. I figured I would to just dip my feet in the water first. So this semester I'm taki...

Hello to all nurses. I am a CPhT. I work in a mail order pharmacy. I am taking my pre-reqs right now but hopefully be accepted into nursing school by 2011 and my goal is to get a BSN with RN.:) I do have a few questions for you experienced nurses: Ho...

A HOUSE. Trip to Europe, I would like to see castles... Trip to Mexico. Disney WORLD! HAHA!

Hello, I'm a pre-nursing student. I have a question about the DNP? In my "future" years I am hoping to become a NP after getting a few years experience behind my belt. I've been reading a few threads about the colleges requiring NP's to obtaining a ...

Did you get your ADN at TCC then went to UTA and get your BSN and RN? Or did you do the ASN with RN and later got your BSN?:)

Really, when did you graduate?

Hello, I have a few questions about nursing. How different is nursing school than when taking just your regular pre-reqs like math, history, english etc...? I know you have clinicals as well, but what is it like in the classrooms and when you're at c...

WOW! Sounds tough but exciting all at the same time. I have a friend who was looking to become a CNA, but I told her why not nursing?, her answer was "too long of schooling." I can understand her point of view. So is it the real deal that "nurses ea...

That's exactly the same way I feel about it. I actually went to a trade school to become a pharm tech. I read from other threads how nurses worked as CNA's or MA's or sucn in such, kind of intimidating because they obviously have more nursing experie...

Oh, yes, I see now! Do you work retail or mail order? I work in mail order. I only worked retial for a month or so. I type scripts and recently got trained in doctor calling function. It's fun though. I work with over 200 RPh's, there's got to be som...

Thanks for the info. I just like to know what I am getting myself into. :) I really appreciate it :redpinkhe I'm a CPhT and I love that job too. I just know I am capable of way more.

Yes thank you for your comments! I will be applying to all these in the DFW area, but hopefully UTA is where I will be accepted. I do plan to keep my GPA as perfect as possible. :) Another question I have is what is nursing school like?

I am currently taking my pre-reqs. I know, I am way over my head right now. I am wanting to go the whole 9 yards and get a BSN. I am a CPhT. I see MD's NP's FNP's ANP's MSN's RN's and etc...signing on scripts all DAY! I KNOW I will be a nurse with RN...

Yes, thank you. I am a Certified Pharmacy Technician. I went to one of those trade schools where the tuition in absurd! But in the end, it's a very fun job and not so stressful (to me anyway):nuke: I appreciate your comments. I do plan on getting an...

Just wondering if there are any nursing students, grads, or recent grads from the North Texas area? How competitive is it for the surrounding area schools?

Hey Sandy good for you! I too have decided to become a nurse. People like you give us younger ones hope that we can always continue on with our dreams no matter what life throws at you. Thanks! Good luck, BTW: I'm just taking my pre-reqs (I'm a Phar...

Hey I love this site and I'm new to it! I myself am a CPhT and work in mail order, I love it. I completed a pharmacy tech program (which was way too much money), at that time I didn't know all you had to do was take the exam! Anyways, I get paid a l...
