  4. UTMB RN to BSN online

    HowdyHowdy replied to babysplash's topic in School, College Programs

    It's not a fast process, I would say to start getting everything submitted, like today! Their application is long, slow and grueling. I started in December and just now got the email to submit the...

    HowdyHowdy replied to Bonnie Bailey's topic in Government, Military

    Yah I may have to look into that. The 1 year BSN program through UTH isn't hard to earn a 4.0 in. It would be really great to have that as what's counted as my GPA. My undergrad cGPA is a 3.57 and my...

    HowdyHowdy replied to Bonnie Bailey's topic in Government, Military

    I wonder about the ICCC course then. It would be tremendously convenient for me. It would save me from taking the Chem 1 and Chem 2 prereqs that are required to get to O Chem 1 at my local CC, and...

  13. Is it doable to work full time while in UTA'S accelerate RN-BSN program?

    HowdyHowdy replied to napswithcats's topic in University of Texas Arlington

    I am in the same boat, considering this program versus other online programs like Texas Tech, WGU and UT Health-Houston. A close friend of mine did UT Arlington straight out of RN school while working...

    HowdyHowdy replied to HowdyHowdy's topic in LPN to RN

    I'm not sure where you're getting the "5 days a week" from. The only campus that does 5 days a week is Montgomery and it's only for 6 weeks during the Summer session. North Harris is 2x a week in...

    HowdyHowdy replied to HowdyHowdy's topic in LPN to RN

    Hey guys, just a quick follow up to my post earlier about item #13 on Castle Branch. Juanita sort of clarified it at orientation, so when we left I called CB. They put in a ticket to have that item...

    HowdyHowdy replied to HowdyHowdy's topic in LPN to RN

    "Ummmm" was exactly right for me too! That would put me at 3 days a week at work and 4 days a week with school. No spank you. I actually put Northwest down as my first choice because even though it is...

    HowdyHowdy replied to HowdyHowdy's topic in LPN to RN
