  1. post 9/11 GI Bill xfer to spouse

    CaffeineCrusher replied to RHill9919's topic in Government, Military

    Is there anything special that you have to submit to have the GI Bill cover everything (books, scrubs, etc) for nursing school? I usually get a $125 book allotment per class for my pre-reqs, but the...

  2. Weatherford ADN Fall 2015

    CaffeineCrusher replied to nursingjourney's topic in Texas Nursing

    I was looking into UTA's since I've already taken their intro to nursing, patho, and pharmacology, but it would be a good idea to see what else is out there. If this didn't work then I was going to...

    CaffeineCrusher replied to nursingjourney's topic in Texas Nursing

    UTA actually suggested that I retake courses. You are allowed to retake 4 of your courses and there were a few loophole classes (like subbing Art for Music). On the traditional route, there were 125...

    I originally applied to the BSN program at UTA a couple of years ago. According to the advisor, I had a competitive GPA, but she had no answer when I got denied twice even after retaking classes to...

    I'll choose nursing. I applied to Sonography as a backup and just wanting to start a clinical, but I just wasn't excited when I got the letter for an interview. KL said that my interview would be good...

    I already bugged her this week, but I plan on dropping into her office on the 23rd when I have an interview for the Diagnostic Medical Sonography program so I'll take that week.

    $500 in savings is still a lot of money to me. LOL. If you don't mind me asking. How true is the breakdown of the first semester of the program that they have listed on the website? And how much of...

    CaffeineCrusher replied to nursingjourney's topic in Texas Nursing

    I'm a little worried about that too. I am using the 9/11 GI Bill so I know that my tuition will be covered, but they usually only give me a $125 book allowance per class. Books for the first semester...

    Have you talk to financial aid yet? Sometime schools have extra funds/scholarships set aside for students. I had issues with my financial aid when I went to North Lake (DCCCD) and the director just...

    CaffeineCrusher replied to nursingjourney's topic in Texas Nursing

    I've pretty much taken all the classes I can take, but I would suggest registering for the summer/fall as a precaution. We'll find out before the classes start and you can always drop the class and...

    CaffeineCrusher replied to nursingjourney's topic in Texas Nursing

    I submitted my application on Mar 4th. My TEAS test had to be rescheduled because it landed on the snow day and I took it off campus so it took 2 days to receive the results. Then there was another...

    @tmmycarson: KL said that orientation would be the last week of July or First week of August. @abbieallen: I didn't ask about the cut off. I just asked her what my point calculation was and if it was...

  13. How to go from an 80 to a 90?

    CaffeineCrusher replied to nursingjourney's topic in TEAS Exam Help

    My adjusted score was a 88.0%. Reading: 83.3%, Math: 96.7%, Science: 89.6%, and English/Language 86.7%. What I discovered that helped me was to take the practice test in the back of the practice...

    CaffeineCrusher replied to nursingjourney's topic in Texas Nursing

    I talked to KL today and she said that the director has not had a chance to look at the applications and then they have to send them to the Board of Nursing which usually takes a minimum of 10...

    I applied with 42 points. I talked to Karen today and she said that letters will probably be sent out in mid-May. The wait is killing
