Oh, and forgot to mention... the other classmate who also experienced this shadiness was a mature, diligent, and intelligent 50 year old woman (who didn't have to work/have a nursing career if she didn't want to -- her family is already very financially stable). Unfortunately, she got in a car accident later on and didn't make it. I wouldn't imagine why the nurse(s) would try to screw her over... guess they were insecure. Apparently, any kinds of people can become nurses and doctors nowadays in "taking care" of patients -- pretending their motivation is not simply behind the increased salary pay.

The classes were manageable. However, the campus location that I was attending is unfortunately ran by unsupportive and neglecting coordinators except for one. In addition, some of the nurses at the local hospital bullied, gossiped, and were shady... happened to me and another classmate. Heads up, some of the nurses that volunteer to coach for the Texas Tech's 2nd-Degree program are only doing it for their reputation and $ so that they could apply for the MSN program and have something to put on the resume. If you're unfortunate and get paired up with a terrible coach, most likely the program's coordinators will believe the nurse's bs because they have "known them for years." However, truth be told... they only know of the "professional" side of the nurse(s). It'd take more to know one's true colors. Apparently, bullying is common in nursing schools and hospitals if you Google it. I thought I was alone. I withdrew from the program 100% because of the inconsistencies from the staff, which was a poor and unhealthy learning experience. Dealing with the shady individuals was way more stressful than the coursework. On the other hands, literally 90% of the students were cheating by sharing old test answers they have gotten from people that have attended the program before in the past... and did any of the coordinators care to notice (even though, it was pretty obvious)? Nope. I'd advice to stay away from the Odessa campus location (apparently, everything is lesser in the West Texas/Permian Basin). Hopefully, the other campus locations are ran with integrity and consistencies. And last, but not least... make sure to jot down everything (paper trails and/or audio recordings of inconsistencies from staff or nurses). Unfortunately, some will never imagine any of this... but this is the real world. Hope this helps!

I was in the 2nd-Degree program and have decided to withdraw from the program after the 1st semester. I have equipments and scrubs for sale now that these items serve me no purpose! i.e., stethoscope, watch (new), books (textbooks & e-books), scrubs (size xs-s and some unworn), lab coat (unworn), etc. PM me if you need any these items!

Do they send you registration and textbooks info right after you complete the virtual orientation? I have not received any further information, what about y'all?

Did you receive the CBC e-mail before or after your interview? Can you list some of the questions that were asked during interview?

Hello everyone, I couldn't find any info on the Texas Tech 2nd Degree Program in Odessa (Permian Basin) so I have decided to start a topic for the Odessa campus. Please share any info regarding the application process, interview, etc. I noticed that the Austin and Lubbock locations are more competitive to get in. But how competitive is the Odessa location? Number of available seats (per year) for the Odessa location?
