I think what I will do is apply for financial aid and see how much grant/ scholarship money that the school will offer me. Unfortunately I don't have family in Austin so I'll be on my own when it...

Wasn't it just last week that we were all freaking out and we FINALLY got accepted. And now we are freaking out about the ability of finding a job after we get our degrees. Just funny how 1 week makes...

I think for now, what I will do is to continue and apply for financial aid. I hope I will be able to pull off some grant or scholarship money although I heard from the director that the scholarship...

yeah..that's what concerns me too. TEN YEARS??? goodness! well I've been reading the other forums about nursing shortages and the response isn't all that positive. There are people that just graduate...
orchidgal26 replied to acblds5's topic in Texas Nursing
Yeah..I basically read that there will be a boom of nursing opportunites and open jobs around 2025! This sounds about right if there are nurses in their 50's that are still hanging onto their jobs...

Hey guys! So I was wondering if any of y'all out there are as concern as I am with how the job market looks for nurses right now. As I am reading more and more articles lately, apparently, this...

Let's form an AE MSN club when we get there...or all of us join one if they already have it. I'd love to meet you all :) Should we start a Facebook group
orchidgal26 replied to acblds5's topic in Texas Nursing

Thanks for the info KN4321! I wonder how much longer this "2nd interview" process will go on. At this point, I know they have talked to more than 16 people. And from what it looks like, they are...

I think it means that the Adult CNS track is currently "full" and so they are giving you an option of whether you would still like to be admitted to the school as an "undeclare/undecided" and so you...

Thanks for the response KN4321! Glad to hear she said the same thing to you too..lol. Hope you weren't nervous when she called you. It was more of an informative phone conversation right? Well I guess...
orchidgal26 replied to acblds5's topic in Texas Nursing
Yea..I applied for that Scholarship form that the coordinator emailed us awhile ago. It's not much though. I was told that it ranges from $500 to $1000. That's probably not even enough for books! I...
orchidgal26 replied to acblds5's topic in Texas Nursing
wow! very interesting statistics. They are good odds! Yes, don't get me started on the $$$$. I'm stressing about how to finance this as well! Since I can't work when school starts, I have to consider...

Just think..when we do get in (thinking positively) and we are drowning ourselves with 60-80 hours a week of school/clinics/ rotations, etc..we're gonna be wondering.."What were we
orchidgal26 replied to acblds5's topic in Texas Nursing

orchidgal26 replied to acblds5's topic in Texas Nursing

orchidgal26 replied to acblds5's topic in Texas Nursing
So I just took a peek at last years UT AE MSN thread for the class coming in for 2011. I guess 16 is their magic number and they are doing it again. They did the same thing last year where they held...
orchidgal26 replied to acblds5's topic in Texas Nursing
Hi KN4321- for the first interview, I drove to Austin since I figured that a 6 hour drive back and forth would be worth it. For the 2nd interview, it was soooo last minute that I had to opt for phone....
