@ startingovragain --> Wow, you're a gem! Does your mom offer training courses? Yes, I would pay for my DH to attend!

Check out the facebook UTA group page: UTA College of Nursing - Graduating Spring 2015 for those beginning this Fall.

Hello everyone! I've been accepted to begin Fall 2013, too! Anyone else taking the Intro to Nursing, Pharm & Patho online this summer?

Love your perspective! Thank you MierKat!

I can take technical writing & college algebra in concurrent 3-week courses. A few days after those end, I would take pharm & patho concurrently as online 11-wk courses. A few days after those end, I would take intro to nursing as a 5-wk M-Th course. Then I believe it is one week off before the fall semester begins. Whew!

I am hoping you smart and knowledgable ladies can help me with a dilemma. I am at a crossroad and do not which road to travel. I've been accepted to start UTA's traditional program this Fall. I am considering withdrawing my application, and then reapplying to UTA and also apply to TWU's nursing program for Spring 2014 admission. Here is my situation: I have 3 kiddos: 1 is transferring to TSU San Marcos as a sophmore this fall, one is beginning kindergarten this fall, and the other is 3.5 yo. To attend UTA this fall I must complete tech writing, college algebra, pharm, patho, and intro to nursing. This is a lot! (currently I'm taking 5 classes, but no science/med classes) I am currently a 4.0 student with an 93.5% HESI score. I should keep that GPA after this semester, but possibly drop it with one B grade. My apprehension stems from feeling like the summer courses (with kids home and out of school) will be very stressful. I've been operating under school stress for 2 years now. Is it wise to begin nursing school already partially fryed? Does this even matter? I also love TWU's campus and UTA's campus is great, too. I'm not opposed attending either school. If I do reapply to UTA, I would have to take pharm, patho, and intro to nursing this fall since they have to be completed before starting UTA's program (if admitted). These classes would most likely not be transferrable to TWU from what I've been told, although it is being looked into. That would be problematic if I end up attending TWU Spring 2014. Any words of advice? I would also love to hear from those of you who have, or are attending UTA's & TWU's nursing program, and your pros/cons about the school. Thank you all!!

Great post, Paco. Thanks for sharing! I will be applying to one, maybe two, programs in January. Hoping to get accepted into 1 of them! I currently have a 4.0, will be taking the HESI next week. Wondering if you have any advice/insight... I am a community college student. I will be applying to their nursing program in January to graduate with an ADN. I plan to work as an RN while completing a bridge program for a BSN. Their NClex pass rate is low to mid 90%. What is your take on also applying to a local university, that has equal Nclex pass rates, and go straight for my BSN? Going straight for my BSN will be 9 months shorter than doing the bridge. Thanks for any tips or insight you can provide. I am very happy that you are enjoying nursing and all your hard work and sacrifices have paid off. Way to go!!
