Each semester the traditional program admits 100-130 students. I'm so sorry to hear that so many of you are still waiting I completely understand your frustration!! This is not a typical wait time. For those of you who were admitted, please email me at mariorda at utmb (dot) edu for a link to the Facebook page. (allnurses wont allow me to post the link).

Congrats new admits! If you have been accepted, please send me an email at mariorda at utmb.edu and I will send you a link to join your class facebook page!

Yes! You will have back to back semesters and graduate in the fall of 2014!!

Congrats! Send me an email :) mariorda (at) utmb.edu

Congrats new admits! shoot me an email at mariorda (at) utmb.edu and I will send you a link to our fb page! Looking forward to meeting all of you! PS: If you still haven't heard about your status, don't panic. I still don't have near enough people on the fb to think that they are done accepting!

Hi Nadya! Once you have been accepted I can give you an invite to the fb group. Fingers crossed that they will be sending that info out VERY SOON!! My guess is that the next two weeks will be busy in admissions because it is our break from classes. Good Luck!!

Congrats to all of those who have been accepted!! There are still MANY MANY spots to be filled, so please do not lose hope if you haven't heard yet! Our spring semester just finished, so if I had to guess, this week should be busy in admissions! Once you have been accepted, please send me your email address by PM on all nurses or at my utmb address (mariorda at utmb.edu). Email will probably be faster :)

Hi guys! Just to clarify- for whatever reason, FB is being finicky about non-admin invites and is not sending these invites through to the page :/ When you are admitted, please send your email address to mariorda (at) utmb.edu and I will be able to add you. For those of you who have been told by fb that you've been invited, please send me an alternate email address. When I try to go back and invite you, it tells me "this person has already been invited" even though there is no way for me to add you. I have no idea why this is happening, but it is! It would be easier for me to have awesome help in getting invites out, but fb is not cooperating. Sorry for the hiccup! Hang in there, all of you who have not been admitted. Some of my friends who are doing extremely well in the program were 'later' admits. Don't lose hope!

How exiting that letters might be going out tomorrow!! Once you are accepted, I'll send you a Pm about the class Facebook page :) please be patient with me. I have 3 12 hour shifts, two exams, a paper, and an sna event to put on all before Wednesday. I'll try to check in once per day at least! Good luck!!

Carla- excellent question! You probably won't get it until after the big admissions happen, but it could be sooner... The SON website vax list is the same one we needed for Clinicals, so start there and if there are any changes, I'll let you know asap.

You need to take an AHA approved BLS class for healthcare providers. BLS stands for basic life support :)

You can turn in your record after your last hep shot and then update it after you get your titer results. The school wants to know that you're on top of things and not waiting until the last minute. Keep the office in the loop and keep back up records of everything!

Carlajean , clementine, kkai, and jgb you have a pm from me with My email address. Please send me an email for a link to your class Facebook page! Congrats on your acceptance!!! For those of you still waiting, don't lose hope!! It is still super early to be getting letters!!
