  1. UTMB Fall 2012

    I remember what it was like!! If worse comes to worse, and you don't get accepted, do not give up!! I haven't shared my story over here, but if you go back to our admission thread, you can find it. I applied to UTMB SEVEN times!! Now, I can't imagin...
  2. UTMB Fall 2012

    They don't really have rounds, per say... they just throw crap in the air and randomly decided to send out emails here and there.Seriously, they have NO system. I don't understand why, it would drive me crazy. I would expect more interview invites t...
  3. What makes nursing school so hard?

    Ha ha - for my school, you can throw pre-reqs out the door. I came in with a 4.0 in pre-reqs and a 4.0 from my LVN school and this program is kicking my @$$.Like someone said, there are only 24 hours in a day, and only 7 days in a week.For example, w...
  4. Help! CNA, LPN, RN, BSN.....?

    I think a lot depends on your state and the schools. I am an LVN currently in a BSN program and if I had it to do over, I would have just gone straight BSN.For me, the LVN school was one year and I had the intentions of taking the LVN-RN transition, ...
  5. UTMB Fall 2012

    I know it's hard to not stress, but really try not to! I spoke with the president of enrollment services this week helping out another student and he told me that all the applications have been put into the computer, but haven't all been sent to the ...

    I don't know a specific date, but it will likely be early next week. They are still receiving applications from Enrollment Services and interviews will continue for several more weeks - per the president of ES.
  7. UTMB Fall 2012

    Yes! And it will be very beneficial next fall, especially if you have it from the corn lady :)
  8. You know its a seeker when . . .

    I work in detox/psych, almost all of my pt are seekers... They come to my window with completely normal vitals, calm, cool, and collective telling me that they need Ativan IM because they are having a panic attack. Now, I realize that everyone is dif...
  9. UTMB Fall 2012

    @Amy - only courses taken at a 4 yr university will transfer in, and it is on a case-by-case basisat the discretion of the course coordinator. While a patho course at a CC won't count, it is beneficial to have knowledge going in, though what you will...

  11. UTMB Fall 2012

    For all of you still anxiously waiting, I wanted to let you know some information that was passed along to me....I had to speak with the director of enrollment services on the behalf of another student yesterday and this is what I was told... *Due to...
  12. UTMB Fall 2012

    You could do that, but I don't think it will really be that helpful. UTMB looks at so much more than numbers, and what they accept largely depends on the applicant pool. So while someone with a 3.2 may be accepted this semester, next semester the min...

  18. UTMB Fall 2012

    Don't get too discouraged yet - UTMB is famous for having a whole bunch of random notifications! Hang in there! (I know that's easier said that done though!)
  19. UTMB Fall 2012

    I wore suit pants with low heels, satin cami, cardigan and scarf. Simple necklace and earrings. I smiled and gave a firm handshake and tried hard to never say 'uh or 'umm... I've developed a great rapport with our professors and that is how I'm often...

    You're welcome. Just relax, stay calm and focused. It's fine to pause for a few seconds before you answer. Don't forget to smile!!
  23. UTMB Fall 2012
