Thanks, HawkinsRV! Very helpful. On another note, does anyone know what the hold, "Nursing School student affairs" means? It says to contact the school of student affairs but just wanted to see if anyone had an answer here first.

Oops, the previous message was meant for HawkinsRV.

Hi there, Sholman713. One quick question for now - are we required to wear scrubs or anything specific for class? I assume we will wear the lab jacket and scrubs underneath for any labs and scrubs for clinical. I'm debating how many pairs of scrubs to stock up on. Thanks in advance for your help!

Hey everyone! Just a reminder for those of you who are Facebook users, please request to join the group "UTHSC SON Class of 2012". There is another group called UT Houston SON Spring 2011 that doesn't have an admin (so no one can edit the group info, events, etc.) so I'm trying to spread the word to NOT join this one for those reasons. Please join "UTHSC SON Class of 2012" so we can communicate that way :) Thanks everyone!

Great to hear! I've been patiently waiting. Excited to check my mail when I get home!

Thanks everyone for the feedback. All of these are much cheaper than most I have seen. The Junior League definitely beats them all. I signed up for the free Junior League session on 11/29 and 12/6. It looks to be 2 Monday night sessions from 6-9 pm at a church near Memorial. Great deal!

Hi all! I was accepted last Tuesday, as well! I haven't joined the Facebook group yet but am wondering where everyone is planning to do their BLS Healthcare Provider CPR certification? I live in Midtown but don't mind driving within reason. Let me know if anyone has any recommendations. Thanks and look forward to meeting you all soon!

LindsayPaige - If you don't mind me asking, why did you give up your spot to the program? Hopefully it was not because you thought you needed to take the TEAS!

Thanks for the info, Clarker! Sounds like it would be quite helpful for me to speak to an advisor. My previous degree was completely non-science related. I have never applied to UTMB and did not send HESI scores since they were not required.

Congrats to you too! It is actually on the 23rd at 8am. I'm guessing yours is the 24th?

MT56, I just got my interview e-mail as well! It seems we have a lot in common regarding our application process. Best of luck to you!

MT56, I'm in the same boat! I was accepted as an early admission, as well. Let me know what you hear when you speak to them today. Also, does anyone know what the time spent on campus is like at UTMB for the BACC2 program? I live downtown so this would be quite the commute to have to tackle daily. However, it would be more manageable if I only had to drive down say, 3ish times a week. Also, can anyone speak to the workload? I know it's a hybrid based program, but wondered if anyone can elaborate on how much time is spent on an average day as compared to the 4 semester programs.

Yes, if you are taking the test for UT Houston then the scores are supposedly sent immediately so you should be fine. I would call UT Houston on Monday or Tuesday just to make sure they received them. Good luck with your HESI today!!

Anyone who has taken the HESI: I'm wondering if the grammar section asks you to identify the adverb, pronoun, adjective etc. in the sentence OR if it just asks you to correct a sentence w/ a mistake in it like in the HESI review book? Or both? I would really appreciate it if anyone has an answer!

I sent in my application last week. I still have not received a confirmation or log-in from UTMB to confirm receipt of the application and transcripts. Did you receive this, Clarker?
