And start a folder with your immunization/titer records and CPR certification info! You'll need them for every clinical. Just basically use this time to try to get everything as organized and planned out as possible, because after the first day, you ...

I just completed the first week, so I don't have much experience, but I do know that it is mentally draining and requires TONS of reading. We were just assigned a 200 page reading for Pharm to be completed before next Wednesday. The upperclassmen are...
Yes, you'll have a "To-Do List" on myUTH once your status changes and one of those items is to get your BLS for Healthcare Providers and email it in to the school before you can enroll. The only thing that can wait until clinicals is your flu shot an...

I hate to say it, but the registrars office is just as cold and incompetent when you finally do get accepted. We have heard nothing but complaints on our FB page from the beginning. They lose transcripts, take weeks to upload transcripts, never answe...
Yep I added it up and the first huge batch of acceptances went out exactly 90 days before the start of classes (January 13). You guys will be starting May 19, so your acceptances should go out on February 18.

I'm not sure about housing. I live in Katy & will be commuting. As for repeated courses, I'm sure if it came between someone with the same stats, but no repeated courses, they'd probably choose that person, but who knows; they seem to be pretty e...

That's definitely a competitive GPA, just try to score around a 90 or above total on your HESI and you should have a very good chance. Good luck to you! :)
I believe another thing to increase your chances of getting in is to really stay on top of your To-Do List and making sure that everything is correctly received by UT. I personally had some issues with Chemistry not showing up on my transcript evalua...

The closest metro rail stop is Dryden/TMC and you'll have to walk down Holcombe to Bertner. The SON is on Holcombe and Bertner. As for parking, Oceanise has a post on the Spring 2013 UTHSC thread that has parking options and prices. She did say at t...
I have heard from several people that the first semester is the hardest, just because you're trying to get into the groove of nursing school and come up with a routine for the large amounts of studying you'll need to do. I am also starting nursing sc...

Ugh that is so frustrating! I'm so sorry I honestly think that it was something on their end. The entire process is hectic and disorganized and I had to hound them at least half a dozen times over to-do list items not being removed, inaccurate trans...

I'm so sorry to those of you that have finally received replies and didn't get in It seems as if they're being a bit more selective than previous semesters, I'm not sure if that's just because it's the Spring, instead of Fall, or if it's just a new ...
