Nvm...I think I figured it out. I was going to the nursing license selection on the identix website. I see on the Fast pass it says to select other...AFTER you go take your fingerprints. Then electronically submit them. I swear I read that several times and just wasn't see it right :)

Has anyone done their fingerprinting??? I am so confused by now. I tried to make an appt. They said I was not in the system for fingerprinting. I called the BON, they said I was not in the system. I emailed UTT and she said give it a few more days. It has been 2 WEEKS and I just tried again to schedule for fingerprinting...says I am not in the system. I am confused! Did anyone have this problem? I thought they sent your info to the BON then you were in the system for fingerprinting and you just go do it.

Thanks! Yes, I have my appt scheduled. I am doing my interview and fingerprinting next Wed. Would you guys like to make a Facebook page for us...if you are on Facebook that is. Thought we might could support eachother that way and of course include any others that would like to join once we start. Never know when you will have questions at home studying, etc.

I was accepted for Fall '13 in Longview and I just wanted to ask those that are already in the program for some insight...advice. What are your days like? How many days of clinicals do you have? Days of classes? Any tips on books, uniforms (other than the info they gave us), things that would be helpful for me to have/not have, etc. I am so excited...and I greatly appreciate your answers.

I was not accepted at first...then I called...there was a huge misunderstanding about where I lived...I cleared it up and I never found out my points (although I know they were higher since I already have Concepts and Patho and Pharm) ...BUT they admitted me!!! YEAH!!! So I was accepted to the Longivew Branch. Hope to meet you soon! I got all of my info...however, does anyone know the schedule for clinicals. I mean how many days per week we will be onsite for clinicals, etc.??? I know UTA was 2 days a week. Just trying to figure out everything schedulwise and kidwise how many days a week to plan for clinicals and classes. Nothing mentioned that. I am so excited! Congrats everyone!!!

I applied and am on pins and needles waiting! I applied last fall also but didn't get in, although at that time I wasn't quite done with prereqs. So, hoping this year is it. I applied for Longview (1st choice) and Tyler (2nd choice). Good luck everyone!

Wow! So you are in the same boat. I hate it but also nice to know I'm not alone ;(. It really is crazy. UTA made everything seem great. I was so excited that I got into what I thought was the program. I thought you took all of the prereqs, the nursing prereqs, etc. then you start the program. I didn't know you could put so much time and money into a school only for them to keep telling you no. I pretty much put all my eggs into UTA's basket and I guess I shouldn't have. I am so confused!!!

I have been enrolled with UT Arlington for 2 years now. I'm in my last class of prereqs. Nothing more I can do. Didn't get in last term or this one. Because I didn't get in last term, I also applied at UT Tyler. Spent money to apply, take a different entrance test, etc. Still didn't get in. I have a 3.14 overall and 3.25 Science GPA before these last classes I took which it seems I will have an A and a B right now. It is not terrible but not great! I scored 76 overall on HESI. I am thinking of applying to 3 programs. I have spoken with WGU twice and have another all scheduled today. I would need to take Biochem for them. I would need to take Nutrition for UT Tyler (which I am enrolled in this summer). Geez...each program is a little different and you could go broke just trying to meet the requirements of each one just to try to get in but could be spinning your wheels if you stick with trying to get into one...like I feel I am with UTA. What do most of you do??? Yes, I could probably get into a local ADN program and then immediately bridge but that is delaying things significantly. I feel like I am just running in circles just trying to get an education and get into programs. I am starting to feel that it is more about money. When this school requires only this and that to get in and you do that but don't get in, you have wasted your money. Then times that by how many you apply to...it is a little crazy. IS anyone else feeling like a hamster on a wheel just trying to get in somewhere????

I also applied to UT Tyler and UTA for Fall 2012. Denied both. I am wondering how the point system works at UT Tyler. Anyone know??? I have completed everything but Nutrition which I was going to take this summer.

Looking at Pharm final is stressing me out! I have an 80.63!! I am dying to keep this B. Last test (test 5) did me in. I actually felt pretty good about it and got a 70. UGH! I got a 90 on 2 others . Good luck to everyone!!! Congrats to everyone that was accepted. I so wish that was me but I had to put off a couple of classes until next semester so next session I will be hoping I get accepted

I have actually removed my application. I wasn't able to finish up my last 2 classes in time due to family issues. So I will reapply next session. Good Luck to everyone!!!

Is anyone in the Pharm. 3365 that started 9/12? I am so confused. I have been regsitered for the class. It showed up in my Blackboard last week, then disappeared. Then they posted a message stating it was a mistake. Then it never reappeared Monday (the start date). I kept checking my email but got nothing. I ordered my book last week and there was a note when I ordered it that the class starts 9/26. THEN today I randomly go into Epic which I have no current classes in, and there it is with a welcome showing it started 9/12. I guess this is typical unfortunately with UTA at this point. ZERO communication about the change in format, starting date, etc. I am so aggravated at the fact that they could not even send an email. I have been at this school over a year now and it seems to get worse as time goes. It was not this way when I started. Anyone else had this problem???

I have noticed the majority of threads on here were for RN-BSN. I am a BSN student that is not an RN or have any other degree. I started the LVN prgram, left it to start RN pre-reqs, did some of them then left that to go ahead and get BSN (RN). I am enrolled with UT Arlington now. I have been with them for over a year now and am on the last leg. I have Statistics and Patho and Pharm left before starting (hopefully) the program. My thing is that I am really not happy with UTA. There is virtually NO teaching, explaining, communication for any class. I do fine with this except for the math and science classes which have kicked my butt. I took several at my local college to avoid it. It really does suck to try and learn College Algebra on your own. But I am forging ahead. I have considered changing to WGU and I have contacted them. I don't know alot about how the clinicals work, etc. How do you get your clinical skills? Will it be the same as clinicals with UTA??? Also my concern is that I am going on to get my MSN and then Neonatal NP. I did contact Baylor which is where I plan to go and they do accept credits from WGU but I am worried about how I will compare wo other applicants for graduate school as well as hospitals. Any advice or input would be appreciated. I do not want to be a GPA 'snob" or let the name on my degree decide everything but also I don't want to go through a program to not obtain my goals. Does anyone have experience with this??? Thanks and I look forward to hearing from other students as well that will be getting their RN with no nursing degree already. Have a great day!!!

I remember you saying that before. I actually had the high school math teacher tutor me the last 2 weeks but it just wasn't soon enough. I had 2 teens that just graduated with As in math help me review and they were stumped on most of it so I was in trouble...lol. I just withdrew and thought I would start over knowing what I know now. I will be getting help the whole time this time around.

I understand that! I am in East Tx. so I plan on working at Good Shepherd (which someone posted about getting accepted to for partnership and didn't want it...lol) I wanted to be partnered there. I know UT Tyler has a good program there but there it is mostly on campus. I may be better making the drive. It is an hour and 15 min. for me. They have a huge new beautiful health science center.
