10. UTMB Fall 2013

    punkydoodlesRN replied to jshanice11's topic in Texas Nursing

    punkydoodlesRN replied to jshanice11's topic in Texas Nursing

    The past 6 semesters have all been 120 accepted. Due to the state mandates, I doubt that number actually decreased; if anything, it should be going up. I don't know about the applied figures for this...
