    little_bird replied to GeekGirl's topic in Texas Nursing

    Radiation, you will also be able to take mental health (level 2 class) over the summer, which is a bonus that you woudn't be able to do if you started in the fall. It will help lighten your load. And...

    little_bird replied to GeekGirl's topic in Texas Nursing

    Honestly, the pre-nursing stuff is very different from what you do in the program. Some of the people that were ranked dead last are at the top of the class now. The test are very different, and it...

    little_bird replied to beccabee's topic in Texas Nursing

    Cool, thanks for all the info! At this point I will be happy either way. An extra few months to save money would be great, but getting started in the program would be nice too. (Plus, not having to...

    little_bird replied to beccabee's topic in Texas Nursing

    little_bird replied to beccabee's topic in Texas Nursing

    If this is the case, then they have been calculating my rank incorrectly. Looking back at the emails from the department, both semesters that I've gotten ranking scores, my combined GPA (co-reqs...

    little_bird replied to beccabee's topic in Texas Nursing

    Any and all the courses you take, both pre-reqs and co-reqs count towards your rank gpa. This was a surprise to me when I first got my rank as well. I later built a spreadsheet in excel that computes...
