I love using e-books. I didn't use them first semester, but I wish I would have. Second semester I used them, and loved it. The only downfall is you can't sell them back, but you can rent the
I'm currently a UTHSCSA nursing student (now third semester). Here are some averages on the scores from those who were accepted: -Traditional (Spring 2012- start date): Accepted: 126, Pre-Req GPA:...

This page has been pretty quiet! A lot of us "upperclassmen" and/or Peer Advisors have been wondering about this. Anybody make a FB page? If so, just put the name here and we can probably help answer...

I think there is a waiting list. Yes, you need your pre-reqs. After that, then apply. After you apply, then they will send an invitation to take the TEAS. I believe to have a fighting chance to get in...

Congrats to those of you who were accepted. For the end of the alphabet... don't fret! When I received my acceptance e-mail last year it wasn't until 5 or so in the afternoon. (My last name starts...

Usually there's 500-600 applicants for 140-ish available seats. My semester (currently first semester) there was only around 300. I've heard there was more for fall 2012 because of glitches from my...

Just looked through my e-mails and... Three weeks exactly, in an e-mail. :) We didn't have "as many" applicants, so I don't know if that may affect the amount of time or

I would start now just in case. I believe there's a Hep A/Hep B combo that takes a shorter amount of time. They will work with you, BUT you wouldn't be able to register until all of your immunizations...

For me, the only really difficult course is Pharmacotherapeutics. What I've already noticed that when you get to the drugs, you have to understand the basics in order to understand the rest. It'll end...

@LiveLaughLoveLearn: I was born & raised in SA so I don't really know how it correlates to Dallas. But from what I've heard from some of my classmates, housing is pretty affordable. I would...

My advice: Don't stress out. They'll try to scare you during orientation and/or the first couple of weeks of school... I suppose to prepare you for the worst just in case. But, really, don't worry....

I think my pre-req GPA was around a 3.6-3.7-ish. I'm not sure because my SAC cumulative/degree GPAs are different and it doesn't include all of the classes. My TEAS score was kind of low though. I...

Thank you & good luck to you all! I know the waiting game is a killer... It's worth it in the end though. Yes, there's a choice between a 13" or 15" Macbook Pro, and a 14" or 15" Dell Latitude...

Hi y'all. I'm a current first semester student and was just browsing through. :) For my semester we we told it was a substantial lower amount of applicants (300-ish) and 140 admission invitations were...

Looking back at my e-mails, the supplemental app was due 9/19 and we got asked to send info for a Background Check 9/20 (which was quite weird) then on 10/10 we got our admission offers through...

@Texas51 No, you apply directly to UTHSCSA through NursingCAS. Yes, after a few weeks you'll get an invitation from UTHSCSA to take the TEAS. I'm not sure if it'll be the same for the next semesters,...
girlwarrior replied to youresocurious's topic in Texas Nursing
Yeah. I know that. It's just for a single mom like me that only works part-time... it's hard to save money to pay for that especially when I have bills to pay. And I still haven't gotten the fin aid...

So did everyone else get the info about the computers? I'm kind of lost as to how I'm going to come up with the money to pay for any of the computers we have to select from. (I mean come on... the...

I was also concerned when I read the info about the transcripts because I'm also at Alamo Colleges. I'm sure they'll work with us, but I hope Alamo Colleges will work with us too. I haven't exactly...

I've been checking to see if anyone's heard anything. But apparently no one has so LOL. I'm so tired of this waiting and not knowing. It's throwing my whole semester off for school.
girlwarrior replied to youresocurious's topic in Texas Nursing
I'm pretty sure they know by now that Alamo Colleges takes a long while to get transcripts out. So, I would hope they'll be understanding from that standpoint. If all else fails, if it takes a long...
