Awesome. I look forward to meeting everyone!

Is dinner still on for Sunday evening...7pm at the Original Mexican Cafe as was mentioned on facebook?

Like the person above said, definitely look around your area to see what the hiring trends are. I know where I am BSN's are practically required for most of the big hospitals (at least as a new grad), especially for specialty units. ADN's can find j...

I can't believe we start in just two weeks. I'm getting a bit nervous, but I'm also really excited to finally start the program! I wanted to mention something that might help some of you who just finished up some prereqs and are trying to get transc...

I'm not sure if that is correct or not. I know the immunization form we have to fill out says Hep B full series, so I'd guess they'd want all three. Maybe you could call the School of Nursing and ask? Worse case, the accelerated series should get eve...

It's been a few weeks since I've been on this thread so congrats to everyone that got accepted over the past couple weeks! How is everyone doing regarding getting all the requirements done? It's taken me some time, but assuming my titers come back ok...

Hey, about textbooks, be sure you keep your receipts for anything you buy from the UTMB bookstore. Every April, if you give them your receipts, you'll get around 20% back for anything you buy (books, scrubs, t-shirts etc..). You might be able to get ...

All the programs I looked at allow second degree students to apply for traditional programs, so it's not just UT. Also, nursing is a career that people in all phases of life want to pursue. You'll find people who got all of their prereqs at their loc...

Does anyone know of an affordable way to get titers pulled for some of the Immunizations needed for nursing school like MMR or Hep B? I've called various clinics (included community/public health clinics) and either they don't offer that service or t...

Well, I've been out of town the last few days and haven't been able to check the mail to see if I got accepted. I just logged onto Econnect and got a message telling me I was accepted!! If anyone hasn't gotten a letter yet and you interviewed on the...

Good luck on interviews!

I'm sure everything has to be triple checked and approved too so I'm sure it isn't that quick to get those emails out. It's just that the person go interviewed me made it seem like emails would be sent before we get letters. Either way, I just want...

I thought they were sending an email. If letters were mailed Friday and yesterday, you would figure an email would've been sent by now.

Oh by the way, for all of you that got accepted into the Bacc2, has anything changed for you on Econnect yet?

I'm not in the Bacc2 program, but I wanted to mention something about apartments. If you don't want to live on the island and are looking at the Clear Lake area, there is always Friendswood. There are some good apartments west of I45 starting at FM 2...

No mail for me either today. I expected an email would get sent before the letters in the mail arrived, but maybe that isn't the case. I just hope to hear something soon. everpark - I know for sure people off the wait list get into the program. My wi...

Sounds like they could very well get sent today. Congrats again! Be sure to let us know when you get the email!

How did you get them to tell you? I called and was just told hey are still reviewing people. Also, are emails going out today?

Congrats! How did you find out?

Wow! We should find out soon. I can't wait for the mail to get here today!

I don't believe there is any geometry. I don't remember there being any.

Hey everyone, I'm a Spring 2011 hopefully for a BSN program here in Texas. I interviewed last week and I could be finding out the decision any day now. I've been pretty calm throughout this whole process up until my interview. The waiting is tough! G...

I hope we hear something soon too!

Does it mention anything about a wait list? Regarding letters, I imagine they send them out as soon as they meet and start making decisions on people.

I'm curious too. I just checked my mail and I didn't get anything. My econnect also says "Pending" still. I don't think Econnect gets updated as often sometimes. In the BACC2 thread, everyone said their Econnect said pending after they got their acce...
