Hi Holly and Cat in TX, this is awesome news and motivation to me.... I plan on applying in November 2009 for Summer 2010...I will be in touch with you to check on how things are going during your first semester. Congrats!!! :yelclap:

Hi egworsham, Thanks for the reference to the book that prepared you for the hesi. I have been back and forth with my decision on nursing school and premedical school but I think I'm leaning more toward nursing school...I am truly considering TCU. I applied, requesting transcripts and I will start my pre-reqs this summer for Spring 2010 entrance...accelerated BSN program. When everyone is referring to gpa's are you speaking of your pre-req (sciences, nurition, psyc) gpa or overall gpa from 1st bachelor degree? This would really help when I'm reading these discussion threads....thank you! :)

This is GREAT!!! information...thanks!!!! Maybe that's why Texas Health Resources and UTA partnered up for the accelerated BSN programs...the hospital will at least know the students will be trained by their own staff.

Hi premedturnednursing...what made you turn from premed into nursing? I am considering nursing school vs. medical school...which I know nursing school yields a faster return on investment then nearly 8 years of medical school. I guess this would be a good discussion thread. :wink2:

I haven't seen the flyer but the Director of Nursing Admission told me about this program. UTA nursing school are seeking several avenues for students who can learning in various methods (i.e. online, classroom, independent study, etc.). UTA is doing awesome things with hospitals to offer better financial support as well like THR pays for your tuition (classes are online only) if you work for them when you enter the program and you must commit to work for them 2 years as a RN after you graduate from the program.

Thanks for the response rmg5353! I will pray for you to get into the program this coming fall as well. :) Good Luck!

Hi- I am very interested in this program. Did you speak to the admission advisors about the partnership with Texas Health Resources or did you speak to advising counselors? I'm about to start my pre-reqs at North Lake this summer...didn't know about the CNA program. Is it a requirement to work in a pre-nursing type of position or can I just work for any department at Texas Health Resources hospital and apply for the program? The advising counselors haven't been too reponsive so I thought I would ask if you don't mind. Just to tell you more about me, I am a career changer as well from human resources/recruiting world. I received a BBA so I have about 7-9 classes I need to take to get into any accelerated nursing program. I was looking into Baylor, TWU, TCU and since I read your blog now UTA. Of course, UTA sounds much better then all of the programs. I greatly appreciate any information you can share about UTA and TX Health Resources partnership. Thanks! ~Claudia :)
