    @lutriciale: Thanks for your insight! It's great that you were able to talk to Dean Ashwill and get it straightened out. Was it difficult to get an appointment with her? Also, did you apply to the...

    I have not, but I'm really not getting my hopes up....Retaking the HESI this weekend to apply to Baylor since they want the Science section. Something has to give! Good luck to everyone on the...

    It really depends on how aggressive you are in getting them done! Also, there are 5 or 6 week (can't remember which) History and Political Science classes through Dallas County Community College and...

  8. UTA Spring 2013

    DFWnurse2be replied to tnuh's topic in University of Texas Arlington

    I met with my advisor at the end of October and honestly, she was not helpful at all! I had a lot of questions about the ranking process and if certain considerations/criteria was ranked higher than...

    @all4faith: The clinicals are usually Fri/Sat, Sat/Sun, or Sun/Mon (mostly Sat/Sun, though)....I have a couple of friends in the program now and I don't think there is a break for spring break,...

    DFWnurse2be replied to tnuh's topic in University of Texas Arlington

    This is true - you can work anywhere in the facility, it does not have to be a patient care type position. For example, I work in the HIM Department (my first degree is in Health Information...

    Hi Kels - when you say the TEAS is nothing like the HESI, can you provide some more detail? Just wondering what the material that is covered is like? Why do you feel it is so much more difficult?...

    DFWnurse2be replied to sugarmagnoliaRN's topic in Texas Nursing

    I am trying to get the stuff for the application together, how did you get your Baylor ID# that they ask for on the app? Also, how did you just call there and ask to speak with an advisor, or did you...

    DFWnurse2be replied to tnuh's topic in University of Texas Arlington

    That is a good question:) I think it's assumed that GPA's and considerations are all weighted equally when it comes to the ranking process; however, that does not seem to be the case. In my opinion,...

    @Tram444 ~ Yes - the first semester, they went to the hospital for exams (at least at Parkland not sure if it varies based on hospital site?), then the 2nd semester, they had to go to the UTA campus...

    DFWnurse2be replied to sugarmagnoliaRN's topic in Texas Nursing

    Hi All: Does anyone know if you can take one section of the HESI? I had to take the exam for UTA, but they did not require the Science part, and I believe this is needed to apply to Baylor. I...

    Hi luvwesties! When you decided to apply the AP BSN program, did your advisor send you a Transcript Evaluation? This is when they send you the list of pre-req classes needed, along with those that...

    @ Don - I don't think it matters which hospital you select as the preferred hospital to do your clinicals. They will place you where there is availability if you are unpartnered and accepted....
