So for everyone waiting on some type of verification that they received your acceptance information, I emailed my advisor this morning and asked why I had not received any type of information about the BON status or the blackboard orientation. Within an hour, I did get an email stating that my acceptance response has been received and that I will be receiving more emails with other information. My advisor has not emailed me back. I sent my acceptance form back to them immediately after I got accepted wich was on 3/22/16. I don't know why it took them so long to send me a letter saying that they received my acceptance response. I hope to know more about the blackboard orientation today.

Hi. FutureRN-Chiddy....I am taking Patho and Pharm at the same time. Sorry for the late response. I just logged in and saw your post. I finished Patho last night with an 86.34. I am taking my Pharm final today. Pharm is hard. In my opinion much harder than Patho. The Prof is terrible. She gives very little guidance. I hope you do well. Maybe we can meet at the orientation in August. :)

Traffic violation do not count as long as you weren't arrested. For example, if it was a regular speeding ticket or failure to stop at a stop sign, you don't need to worry about that.

For those of you accepted to the online program, are any of you guys from the Houston area?

I was accepted to the online program. Is anyone that has been accepted to the online program from the Houston area?

I was accepted! :)

I haven't heard anything yet.

I emailed my academic advisor on Friday to ask when we should expect our acceptance/denial letters. She got back to me this morning. She said that they would hopefully be emailing decision letters today. I did not like the word "hopefully". And so we wait......

Thanks for posting that information. I have checked my email about 30 times today. I am now convinced that we will wait until Monday (at the earliest) to find out. Have a great weekend.

I have not heard anything yet either. I wonder if they release the acceptance/waitlist letters alphabetically? If so, my last name is one of the last letters in the alphabet. I might be waiting until next Wednesday. UGH!!! I hope they put us out of our misery soon!!!

So tomorrow, the 18th, is the day we should start hearing about our status. Good luck everyone.

What do you think it means that it doesn't matter that you didn't receive the email about the background clearance? Thx :)

I received the same email. I hope to hear something back in the next 10 days. Where will everyone be doing there clinicals? Is anyone in the Houston area?

Where I work now, we have to work two weekends a month. There are many people that like working a Matrix of two days on two days off 3 days on 2 days off 2 days on 3 days off. They always know when they will be working.

Day by day...let your preceptors teach you what you need to know. You can pick and choose what you like. When you are on your own you will develop your own rhythm soon enough. Everyday you will learn more and more and you make some mistakes along the way. You will learn from your mistakes and you will become the nurse that you want to be and that you are! Don't let others make you feel bad for being kind or paying too much attention to someone. Chin up!! :)

Life is too short to work for someone like that. Are there any other job opportunities that you can pursue?

So you are a new Grad...congratulations!!! How long have you been on orientation? What have your preceptors been doing to help you with dispersing medication? What type of nurse are you? Do you work the floor and have a lot of patients? If you are new and making med errors, I would ask for more orientation time with a different preceptor. Go talk to someone with experience that can help you do things right and gain some confidence in your abilities. Good luck!!

So overall you think that everything is organized? I have 4 kids, a full time job, and a husband. :) So I need to be prepared as much as possible.

How many online classes do you take while doing your clinicals? How long are your clinical days? What do you think about your instructors? What type of homework do you have to do to prepare for your clinical days?

Have you met with the director of your Nursing Program? Sometimes the director can have a positive effect on the prof that is giving your class a problem. I had to do that in our program and helped our whole class. For instance we were able to get our PITA instructors notes BEFORE she lectured. This may seem small but it helped everyone to focus on taking notes instead of trying to write down everything she was trying to say. Most directors want their programs to be successful so therefore they want you to succeed. Good luck and don't be intimidated.

Hi Christine, I cannot reply to PM yet. Can you click on my username and then click on the comment tab and you will see the posts that I have made. You can respond to me that way. I have to have 15 posts before I can PM anyone. I am working on my 15 posts today so that I can PM people. Thanks for your help.

I would read the Syllabus for the class and if that doesn't answer your questions then ask your instructor. You can't go wrong by doing that.

Do you have a study partner? I think that the coloring book is also a great idea. A study partner that is organized and is working hard in the class, is very helpful.

Congratulations!!! Hope you are feeling well soon. Well wishes coming your way!!!!

Has anyone from the Houston area recently graduated from the UTA program or is anyone currently in the program? I am going to apply for the 2016 Spring admission. I am curious to hear what others think about the program.
