The application opened for this program just opened the other day, and I wanted to see if I could reach out to anyone else applying! I've submitted my application, and took the TEAS V Test this morning! I graduated Texas A&M with a Biology Degree this year and during completion of this degree I realized Nursing is where I want to be! Hope to hear from others!

Howdy! To start off, I am on the same track as you. About to graduate Texas A&M - College Station with a Bachelor of Science in Entomology in August. Once I graduate, I'm planning to complete an Accelerated BSN Program. I definitely agree with HouTx's comment. Please take the time to volunteer or shadow different medical professionals and confirm that nursing is for you before you finally decide the BSN is the right fit. I have spent several weeks moving around different areas of hospitals volunteering and shadowing. I noted several which interested me and after several 'heart-to-heart' conversations with family involved in the medical field, decided Nursing is where I would like to be. As far as your degree, I'm not sure if 'University Studies' is a B.S. or B.A., but that, as well as which pre-requisites you have completed in your undergrad are essential in confirming your eligibility for any nursing program. With my degree, I was able to incorporate nearly all of the pre-requisites into my degree plan. After reading the first two comments, I cannot disagree. They both provided a different aspect which I have not seen myself. Although, do not feel disheartened. My recommendations for you would be: 1. Set up appointments with Admissions Counselors from each University you are interested in. - The value of meeting with an Admission Advisor/Counselor is crucial. Most advisors will provide an honest insight in your chances of being accepted into, and surviving their program. (Yes, surviving.) 2. Find time to get in a hospital environment. (Either volunteer or shadowing) -Not only will this help you decide what you want to do, it will also be valuable when submitting applications 3. Finally, do not give up. Where there is a will, there is a way. (Not always an easy way...but still.)
