  2. UTMB Fall 2011 Applicants

    punkydoodlesRN replied to chaos0058's topic in Texas Nursing

  8. UTMB Fall 2011 Applicants

    punkydoodlesRN replied to chaos0058's topic in Texas Nursing

    Same here, except that it is my top choice. I applied to one other school and haven't heard from them either. I too applied straight from their site. And I hope I can get an answer if I'm rejected. No...

    punkydoodlesRN replied to chaos0058's topic in Texas Nursing

    punkydoodlesRN replied to chaos0058's topic in Texas Nursing
