Yep, West Oaks. Sister worked there PRN a couple of years ago for ~33/hr

Hey, so sorry I didn't respond sooner...I haven't really been on here lately. Really, you have nothing to worry about. You have great GPAs, and I believe that you have a great chance of getting in. My GPAs when I got in were a 3.7 prereq and 4.0 scie...

Ha, thanks, stash11! You have great stats! In my opinion, the HESI is pretty easy; it's definitely not something you should stress over. There are sections on reading comprehension, vocabulary, grammar, math, and critical thinking besides the a&p...

It's hard to say. I'm not sure what they're looking for now, but I don't think that your overall GPA is a big factor in the admissions decision, especially since your GPA is a result of something that happened so long ago! Your science GPA/pre-req GP...

The application deadline for UTMB Spring '12 has passed - you missed it by just a week if you were hoping to apply for the spring start. Fall '12 deadline is January 15, 2012, and applications will be accepted starting November 15. I'm surprised you...

If I were you, I would call and ask because there's no harm in doing that, BUT it says specifically on their website, and on the application form, that everything (transcripts, HESI A2 scores, and the form itself) should be submitted by the Sept. 1st...

**That is, if y'all are looking for apartments on the rail line in order to avoid commuting. Of course, there are several apartments not located on the rail line that are nice, too.

Hello nicole11 & thedutchess12! I've been accepted for the traditional program that starts in August, and have also been looking at housing in the med center. I know this isn't really specific, but I've just been looking at apartments using rent....

The only experience I have comes from a health science tech program that I did in high school for 2 years, and from volunteering at Texas Children's Hospital for a year about 8 years ago when I was 15 - none of these things were included (or can be i...

You only have to have 40 of 60 hrs completed by the time you apply; of the 40, 8 must be from the sciences (Micro, A&P, or Chem I; Nutrition, even though it is a science course, does not count). The HESI A2, your transcripts, and a $30 applicatio...

I can PM you the link for the FB page, and the full name for the group is UTHSC SON DECEMBER 2012...not sure why it's not coming up in FB searches!

Hey nurseguy86, do you have facebook? If you do, join the group we started; just search for "UTHSC SON DECEMBER 2012" and request to join. We've posted all sorts of information about holds, housing, uniforms etc. there. It's definitely not too early ...

SiberianPuppy, I think your last post clarifies your position more. I hate to say it, but the first few times you posted it seemed like you were trying to put down people who decide to attend community colleges; i.e. saying that an employer would pic...

That's true. SiberianPuppy, did you apply to any ABSN programs? If you haven't, do so, because that will be your best shot at getting compared to similar candidates.

Yeah, I agree with your point about expenses and such...many people attend community colleges because they are the easiest, most affordable, and most accessible places to take prerequisite courses. When it comes down to it, most of the prerequisite c...

Yeah, I understand where you are coming from. Like I said, just keep trying at it- you have a great GPA, and some school out there will recognize it and accept you. Best of luck!

I can understand why you're upset, but I think it's unfair and a little snooty to say the things you're saying about people who attend community colleges. If anything, you should be blaming the school for the one-sided way they're reviewing and accep...

chaos0058 - hope you hear good news soon! texasnurse2010 - have you tried searching rent.com? you can search specifically for apartments in the medical center, most of which are pretty safe. rent.com will even give you a $100 reward card if you repor...

Everyone starts out with two holds: a "CPR" hold and an "Immunzations" hold. After an admissions decision has been made for you, your holds will update and will include additional ones like "Admissions Documents" "Residency form hold" and "Criminal b...

to chaos0058, dkg005, mac031 and others who are waiting: don't give up yet! you all have GREAT stats and should hear something soon. in the past, it's taken up to a week for them to update holds. they've just started to so there's still a long way...

Thanks Ialanis! And congrats to everyone who has gotten in so far! To those who are still waiting, good luck! I'm sure you'll hear something (read: good news) soon! Just requested to join the facebook group!

Woke up early to study for a test...decided to check UTLINK and this is what I saw: You have been granted provisional admission. Admission letter in the mail. I'm in guys!!!! Finally!!!

btw, congrats, -asian-!

blynn15, I didn't take it twice, but I read that they only look at the scores from the latest attempt. Also, I think I submitted my app in late nov/early dec, but my application wasn't complete until 2 or 3 days before the application deadline.

Congratulations, ktay!!!! And yay! You finally got your TSI fixed! lol
