I remember the blueprints. Lol. I think the best way we could study was to fill out the course map. (I think that's what it was called). It was something that went through the whole course. I filled it all out. It helped a lot.

It was all new questions. I don't remember seeing any that we're previously used. There may have been one or two, but it's definitely not the type of cumulative that just takes questions from previous exams.

So frustrating. They supposedly only look stats, plus add a point for a couple of things (prior degree, hours at UTA). Nothing else supposedly goes into it. Why does it take 6 months to press a button on a spreadsheet to organize to where the peop...

Kay -- They only consider the courses they require as prereqs as the "overall gpa." I was surprised to learn that. I don't know if the two f's you got were part of those courses, but I'm pretty sure they aren't because you have to have at least a C...

You are not the first person I have heard the same complaints from. I most recently heard about somebody being told in their LAST semester of nursing school at UTA that they needed like 5 pre-req courses that the school aparently missed. They had cl...

Don't take them at UTA! Take them somewhere less expensive, like a community college -- if you're in Tarrant County, go to TCC, whose tuition is $50 a credit hr. ALL of my nursing pre-req courses transferred from TCC (except the 3 nursing courses w...
I got that email, too... right after they sent an email stating that I hadn't turned in my Hesi scores... when I knew I had! That was unnerving! I completed all of UTA's specific nursing pre-req courses plus my upper lever elective (Medical Terminolo...
Mandinoel replied to zoeyzoe's topic in Texas (UTA)
I understand. I really hope they do right by you. I took most of my pre-reqs at TCC, and I had a friend who applied for their nursing program after completing a pre-med bachelor's, and TCC made her retake ALL of the science courses - a&p 1&...

Chuckster: My transcript from MyMav shows that I need so many more classes than I actually do. You HAVE to get with your advisor in the nursing department, because they manually go over your transcripts and take the classes that will count toward th...

I'm a sept 11 applicant... waiting for these acceptance letters is a beating! I applied to both the on-campus and online classes. Honestly, I'm hoping for acceptance in the traditional program, but I will definitely take either one!
Mandinoel replied to zoeyzoe's topic in Texas (UTA)
I don't know if I'm accepted yet. I applied in January for the fall 2011 start date, and they are telling us that the letters are supposed to be mailed out sometime in May. So, I have at least another month or so to wait.

I took all three at the same time at UTA in their online AP program. It was really no problem to take intro with the others... it was an easy class. (Pharm was HARD)
Mandinoel replied to tejas03's topic in Texas (UTA)
I took Intro to Nursing online in the class that started in Jan 2011. It was extremely easy. You just pretty much have to make sure you don't miss any assignments. I remember there being like 5 due each week - a discussion board post and a "reflect...
