Oh thank you so much! Me too! However, I did get accepted into WGU and waiting to hear about Tx Tech 2nd degree ABSN Online / Self-Paced - 12 mo program.

Thank you so much!

Major Congrats! I am so happy for you! ?? Unfortunately, I was waitlisted. It's definitely a bummer.

Thank you for your insight! We really appreciate you sharing your experience! Pharm Test Prep It sounds like you have to prepare for the test as if you are taking the final exam for Westcott/UMass Global Science Course or NHA National Certification Exam through PearVue. Either way I really appreciate you and @Current Student insight on TU ABSN program and what we need to be prepared for if we decide to join the two of you on this journey of nursing. The both of you are EXTREMELY amazing peeps for paying it forward.

So at TU they have moved the ABSN into a graduate category so as long as you have bachelor degree and the core science courses (even the foundational courses e.g., Nutrition, Microbiology, etc) then that is all they are concerned about which equates to roughly 20-24 credit hours. We only have a choice of either the 18-mos or 24-mos program timelines.

I wish we had a voting or trophy button because you deserve it! Thank you for these details! You are AWESOME!

This is the only term I applied for but I seen on here that other students were accepted and deferred their acceptance to another term because they were accepted yet they needed to take additional courses but that was before TU moved to only requiring the selected pre-reqs (requiring bachelor degree — so other courses really didn't matter)

Congrats! Are you doing the 18 mos or 24 mos? Do you know if your clinicals will be on weekends or during the week? 10-hr or 12-hr shifts?

Well I hope to receive an offer letter in a few weeks to join you and @futurenurseokie this coming August. I am super excited. If you all start a FB group please add me.

How was the nutrition class?

Oh great...are you in the North Texas (DFW) or South Texas (Houston)? If you do not mind sharing, I am in the North Texas area. Have you met with anyone else outside of Admission Advisor?

How are things going? I am in Texas and plan to transfer from WCU to TU. I am super excited. If you all have a FB group; can I please join? Please send me a direct message if the FB group is closed.

Hello! I am on track to transfer TU Online Distance Learning program. I hope to start August 2025 as well. I am in TX; @Tee Smith what stare are you in?

Hello! I have applied and ready to start in August 2025. Can anyone share their updates especially those who started 12 months ago? I know it's probably extremely difficult to even think about doing anything outside of nursing school work but any updates would be extremely helpful. ?

Did you get accepted and start the program? If so how is it? How is the program? What are your thoughts so far?

Hello...how did everyone do in the program? Feedback on your experience do far on the rigorous schedule?

Not within the last month, I took it back in August...

My pleasure...go to minute 9:11...she will state Direct Entry programs are accepted if you are accepted or enrolled in the Nurse Practitioner portion of the graduated degree. ? That is what got me... TLU does not have an NP portion of their MSN graduate degree

Here is the link to check: Nurse Corp Webinar and QA

No according to their webinar...let me get back to my laptop and I will upload the link for you from last session. I dropped from TLU application process when they made it clear that they would not pay for Direct Entry Master programs...only Master Science of Nurse applicants who already had their BSN without another obligation. ?

Congratulations! I started the application process with them and actually wanted to move forward just could not move to that area for 20 months but they were #1 on my list. The most affordable DE MSN (plus you get a BSN / RN in the process)…you can't beat it. I went with a program HPSP or Nurse Corp would pay for though. I wish you the very best in your program.

The minimum grade for all science courses (with lab) "on the Final Exam" is a score of 50% in order for a student to receive grade C or better (and to receive the 4 credit hours needed to transfer to their respective school). What I was saying that one of the Proctor's told me that the overall average grade for the Human Physiology final exam is 65% which is horrible. Study Tips: Reading the Textbook (review key terms*, answer the questions in textbook in the back of the Chapters before doing each Chapter Quizzes in Canvas (print the results of each Chapter Quiz before you leave the page--you will never be able to see those results again) -- if you are not a reader -- there is a Read Aloud YouTube Playlist just for OpenStax Anatomy & Physiology -- the textbook used for Human Anatomy and Human Physiology Human Physiology / Human Anatomy / Microbiology (Labs): Know your Labs - Questions with photos --- they will be on the test (roughly 10 questions on each final per course) -- create quizlet, print them out, whatever you need to do but make sure you have the exact questions/answers aligned with the photos from the Labs Supplemental Resources: Science with Susana (Microbiology, Human Anatomy, Human Physiology) Level Up RN (Human Physiology, Microbiology) Tyler DeWitt (Chemistry) Quizlet (all science courses) -- use this to prep for MidTerm and Final (there are some for individual chapters but I would save it for the two major exams) Hope this helps! My apologizes for the delayed response...I have been trying to finish these course before nursing school starts.

Hey! Last night I withdrew my application. My status was "under review". I accepted a final offer from the VA HPSP, so hopefully, my withdrawal opens a slot for someone else. I wish you all the very best. ?

Hello, I would ONLY recommend the Human Anatomy and Human Physiology class if you have already successfully taken these courses before and they have expired for the school of interest. There are several YT videos to support the reading that is assigned to you from the OpenStax "free" textbook but you teach yourself. "BTW there is not answer key for the chapter review questions in OpenStax A&P so you have to research each question that is required for you to study for each final exam". Also, there is a required video presentation for each science course that you must complete (research a topic, make a PowerPoint slide, must present on video for 4 minutes and no second longer than 4 minutes). The chapter homework and quizzes come from the OpenStax and the YouTube (YT) videos. There are lab quizzes and practicals that are of a cadaver that I think are really cool. There are several Quizlet that help you study for those practicals and quizzes. The Midterm comes from the textbook review questions and chapter homework/quizzes. The Human Anatomy final questions came from review questions, homework/quizzes and majority of it came from off the wall questions (I cannot tell you how to prepare). To give you a little history about me, I have taken Allied A&P, Biology: A&P I, and Human Physiology made As in those classes; but in this course, I made a C. On the Human Anatomy final it is required that you make a 50% to show that you are know the material well I made just above that ... the average is 65% which is horrible. My biggest problem, I did not realize I could not complete two chapter homework or quizzes in one day. The syllabus stated that you could not do two discussion questions in one day but it was not until I was ready to take the final exam and grades were deleted that "I noticed" the bold print next to the percentages that stated you cannot complete two chapters in one day (at the bottom of the GRADES tab). Nearly 40% of my overall grade was impacted by my lack of my understanding of the policy and I read the syllabus and policies the day I started Human Anatomy and did not see that policy. I am not sure how I overlooked that rule. I am about to take Human Physiology final and near the end of Microbiology. I am about halfway complete with Chemistry. Would I recommend? Only if your nursing program have already accepted you and they are just waiting on you to complete these courses...absolutely I would recommend Westcott. Since that is my case and my school will accept my grade C. In fact, a nursing program was the reason I even heard of Westcott, I had never heard of them until my nursing program. On the other hand, if the science course grades are critical for your acceptance into nursing school... then NO, I do not recommend Westcott! Go to portage learning, they are more expensive but it will be much better in the long run. Also, eduKan, a community college nursing school program director told me about that school offering online science courses. Sorry for the long message but I hope my response help you and anyone else who considers Westcott for pre-nursing. Anatomy / Physiology is already a tough subject. I have already experience some amazing professors who have made Anatomy & Physiology interesting and consumable for students to ingest I think it is distasteful when there are instructors that make it hard on purpose. The subject is already rough and tough there is no need to make exam extremely hard on purpose.

Thank you sooo sooo much! I take the Anatomy and Physiology this week. I am trying to schedule the Micro exam for next week. I will be ready to take the Chem final in roughly 3 weeks. I will start creating my on Quizlet to help me prep for Micro / Chem now. Congrats on passing those exams! You DID it!
