Hi y'all! I know it's early but I searched for a spring 15 thread and nothing came up, so... I'm sitting for the HESI in 11 days, and applying in July for the Spring '15 program. This is my first...
I know this thread is a month old, but I absolutely agree with this professor. When I began the program, our uniform requirements were stressed, then stressed again, and since that wasn't enough, they...

This cycle only (due to changes at TBON) you can apply for the program while still finishing your pre-reqs. They are making an exception for this cycle. After this, it's supposed to go back to the...

Hi Motherof2! The first round of acceptance letters was sent this past Friday afternoon, but there will be another round later on, after everyone accepts, declines, or defers. The deadline for that...

tmt007, that is awesome news! I know a few people who are on second/third apps with less points than I have on my first app. Best of luck to you. I'm sure you're

I'm at 52 points, first application. I am taking RNSG 1105 right now and I do not even remotely expect to be accepted this time. My reapplication will be 62 points as I've completed my last co-req and...

I have to take Phil, Lit, College Alg, Nutrition, and Bio 1406 (1330 at TX State) over the spring/summer. I took Stats because I had no idea that I was even interested in TX State, and this summer I...

I am also planning to apply to the program for Fall 2015 at Texas State. I've already got my acceptance to the university. My overall GPA and Nursing GPA is 4.0. I also applied for the Spring 15...
I agree on spending time studying every day. I actually bought a study tool "Exploring Anatomy and Physiology in the Lab" and I would go through that and label everything, erase it, and relabel. I did...
I use a daily planner that has the month at a glance, as well as daily view. It's the size of a standard notebook and it keeps me sane! When I get my syllabi, I write down every exam/quiz/paper due...
Don't be surprised if your advisor tells you not to take micro with A&P. My college does anatomy and physiology separately and last semester I took physiology, microbiology, pharmacology, and...
I am coming to the point where I will be in the exact same situation within a few semesters (I'm at 66 credit hours after this semester). I'm nearly capped out on my financial aid, I'm still not into...

I can't wait to get my ranking letter this week, and acceptance letters will come in October, which seems like forever. I don't think I'll get in, but I did get permission to register for my RNSG...
Hello all, I just got my approval to register for my first nursing skills class, and there are very limited choices. What appears to work the best for my very full schedule is a hybrid course. Lecture...
I have put my app in for the nursing program at several different places, and I'm 99.9% sure I will not get in the first time, due to the point system and so many repeat applications who get extra pts...
I'm finished with my pre/coreqs. I have to kill time and stay enrolled until I'm accepted into a program. For fall I'm taking core classes that I'll need when I bridge from ADN-BSN. US Govt TX Govt...
One of the hardest parts for me was keeping all of the side effects with the right drugs. Luckily, there are a lot of mnemonics that will help you. Learn to categorize by names because many of them...
I'm in Texas and for me, the pre/co req classes that count toward my nursing GPA are Anatomy, Physiology (we don't have A&P together, it's two separate classes), Microbiology, Pharmacology,...
If the thought of loans really stresses you out, you can go to community college. Just because you don't want an ADN doesn't mean you have to stop at ADN. It's a stepping stone and many community...
I am 43 and just finished my pre-reqs and co-reqs. I sat for my HESI entrance exam at the end of May and will be submitting my application to the program on July 1. I have 3 teens still at home and...
I guess I just need to express my exasperation. My college in Austin goes by the point system for admissions. I currently have completed 5/5 pre-reqs and 4/5 co-reqs with a 4.0 GPA across the board. I...
