Hey all, I thought I would set up a place to discuss the next application period for UTA's Fall 2012 nursing program. There was so much info in the Spring 2012 forum, thought it might be helpful to start a new thread... Post away!

Hey everyone! I thought I would get a UTA Academic Partnership Fall 2012 forum going. Many of us were wait listed or denied...and many of us posted great advice for Spring 2012... I thought it would be nice to get this forum going to discuss the nex...

Thank you! I just know how frustrated I was when applying and if I can help eleviate even a little frustration, it's worth it! I will tell you that grades are important, but as I mentioned before, being partnered is a huge help (should your grades d...

Don't feel naive, that's really why this website exists, to answer questions and discuss things... There was so much I didn't understand when I got started. 1) Yes, it is true that in the ACADEMIC PARTNERSHIP PROGRAM, students who work with a partner...

If you consider rejection letters including those who do no meet the requirements or clearly do not have a competitive GPA, then yes, I would venture to say that those folks would get their letters first. I will say that in this semester's group (wh...

Hi everyone! Just checking in to see how everyone is doing! It's hard to imagine that we are one weekend away from finishing our first clinical rotation and 4 weeks away from finishing our first semester! I am happy to say we have completed one cours...

I honestly couldn't tell you about Fall vs Spring, but I will tell you that you would be better off getting partnered...if even part-time or per diem, I dont think there is an hour minimum considered, you just have to be employed.

KBC123 I would recommend you go to the UTA SPRING 2012 forum and read the posts there...there is a lot of information from a lot of us on GPAs, Partnering, etc. I will tell you to expect the unexpected. To truly be competitive, you want a high GPA a...

I am using the e-books for my first semester...I'll update you all on what I think of them at end of the first 14 weeks. I will tell you out the gate that so far I love them. There are approximately 12 or so books for this semester (7 or 8 of them ...

Thank you for the well wishes...I am so ready to get started...if you have any questions, please post them here I will try and answer when and if I can....

Hey guys and gals...just stopped in to read some of the forum postings... Those of us starting on Jan 23 are gearing up to get going... As promised, I want to try and share some random facts and thoughts for all of you that are going to be applying a...

I did...I apologize, pretty much all of us on here are AP-BSN (from scratch nursing students)....totally forgot there is the RN-BSN model...and you even wrote it in your post...dang selective reading...haha

Congrats on getting accepted into the pre-nursing area. I presume you already know you have to apply again for the actual nursing program. Also, a suggestion would also be looking into renting your textbooks, there are several sites - you can just ...

@cmapes - I am with you... I am sure we will both get in this semester... I just wish they would get to it already...haha. But the wait will make the news even sweeter... No worries about the new to blogging thing...we all started somewhere...the go...

I presume you still haven't heard anything...seriously, you would think I was waiting to hear I had a kidney or something...this is soooo torturous! Haha...

@eldraper7 - THANK YOU SO MUCH!! I believe that and claim that as well....

I thought the same thing and called my facility coordinator...they are monitoring the situation - we were informed that we always have more applicants than there are spots...but again, it seems odd to me that so many people from my facility are apply...

I think being partnered is on advantagious with regards to the number of applicants vs. spots in the cohort groups. But I have to tell you @emt2bls it has not been as smooth or easy as our facility eluded that it would be. If you don't mind me aski...

Well it gives me comfort to meet a kindred spirit... I heard back from my advisor and they have not yet (as of yesterday/today) made calls for Baylor... At least she eluded to that... Also I think uta is closed next week and the week between christma...

Okay, well am obviously not getting called today...so we'll see about tomorrow... :) Again, congratulations to all of you that did get called!

@austin -I am partnered with Baylor, seems like I might be the only one in the forum wait listed with Baylor.... I appreciate the supportive comments...like it has been stated...what will be will be....

Yay for all of you...booooo hooooo for me...no call yet..

Has anyone else heard anything about getting off the wait list?

@judy are you partnered?
