  1. Waiting on acceptance/rejection letters

    I'm in Texas. @NurseLeelaSmile I think a fun thing to do while waiting may be a DIY project? There are so many fun things to make. I, myself, am pretty busy with schoolwork..I have no idea if I should even begin to volunteer since they often want a...
  2. Ah I see. Yeah, I might go and look if I can become a volunteer at a bigger hospital or at just different ones and see what kinds of patient contact volunteering things they have. The one I went to last time was pretty small, I think maximum 75 patie...
  3. Hi all, I am a pre-nursing student (junior in college) who is in the process of applying to nursing school. However, I'm feeling a bit discouraged/stressed about it at the moment. I am currently dealing with always worrying if all my application thi...
  4. NursingCAS electronic reference problems

    Yeah, it says it may take 5 weeks for them to verify it. So your GPA isn't calculated yet. As long as it's submitted before the deadline and all the material arrive there before then, it should be fine. my nursing school says it will send a supplemen...
  5. Waiting on acceptance/rejection letters

    Same! I just finished my next application (deadline feb 1). So relieved. Now it's just waiting for verification and the supplemental application. I'm just doing more schoolwork at school in the meantime (My backup plan is to finish my degree for Nutr...
  6. Very true! You'll never know unless you try. When do you all find out about the acceptance/rejection decision? Also, what do you do for volunteering at the hospital? I've been recently trying to find something at a hospital as a volunteer that will ...
  7. Best of luck to you as well! Yeah I suppose all I can do is hope for the best. :) Yeah, I had good Hesi scores so hopefully that helps boost me a bit. I just completed another application (the one for the Feb 1st). now I'm just waiting on verificati...
  8. I didn't have a chance to take the TEAS so I just applied to schools that required the hesi. Yes, one of the schools required a reference letter so I'll have that. And also I've been trying to volunteer and such. Thanks so much for calming me though!...
  9. How much volunteering, is enough volunteering?

    I agree with you. I have little experience with healthcare environments. I did shadow a dietitian recently, but the things I was observing didn't really benefit me much as a person wanting to go into nursing. I am contemplating finding a volunteer po...
  10. Waiting on acceptance/rejection letters

    Same! I applied to 3 schools. My next deadline is Feb 1st and for my third school, it's march 15th. The stress of getting everything in on time is overwhelming. It is also stressful when the school and nursingCAS tell me two different things. Nursin...
  11. Yeah, if you're applying to a school that only uses A, B, C, etc. All A- and A+ will be inputed in as A's 4.0 and B-/B+ as B's 3.0..etc. Therefore, your GPA and such may be different from what it would be at your current school. Hope that helps! (My...
  12. hello

    I took the A&P II lab alone in a semester after I already took the lecture for it. As long as you have a foundation for A&P, you should be fine in taking the lab alone. The workload is about the same depending on how your TA/professor is in t...
  13. Online STAT

    Good luck to you! I'm taking 2 online classes as well this semester, with the rest being on campus. Stats should be doable online. Practice problems definitely help. I didn't take mine online, but I remember having a good professor and using the book...
  14. Hybrid Biology over the summer....

    Good luck if you decide to take the class! Sciences are always very time-consuming when taken during mini-semesters and such, however. I took chemistry last summer and I felt quite overwhelmed, because the class itself was only a month long with goi...
  15. A & P

    Hi all, I've took A&P I and II during my first 2 years of college (I'm a junior now). I know it's a lot of memorization and information, but the best thing to do is perhaps make flash cards or a study guide or divide your material and do a chapt...
  16. UTHSC Houston - Fall 2013

    Your transcript may be "incomplete" if you are taking classes for spring or do not have all your Fall semester grades posted on it. Apparently that does not affect your application status, however. You can, however, call the Registrar's Office and as...
  17. UTHSC Houston - Fall 2013

    Yes, although I wouldn't have enough time to prepare myself for it, and I do not want to risk scoring worse on all the other sections since they require you take them all again if you must retake it. I don't want to lose all my mid-high 90s scores in...
  18. UTHSC Houston - Fall 2013

    So basically because I made below their minimum for critical thinking (I had a 740 and they recommended a 750), they won't use my hesi scores at all. And I have no chance of applying now. I did not know this.
  19. UTHSC Houston - Fall 2013

    Great job on getting your vocab score boosted! Good news! I finally talked to a lady at the testing company and they told me they sent off my scores on Dec 17, so I am pretty sure they are just at the school, but they haven't put it into the system ...
  20. UTHSC Houston - Fall 2013

    I talked to a BSN counselor and she told me they are still uploading scores but if I paid for everything it should be taken off by this weekend. It's killing me not having verification of whether or not they're there though! Deadline is Tuesday! Shou...
  21. UTHSC Houston - Fall 2013

    Yes! I've been calling, emailing, anything to contact them about it, and I have yet to get a response. I sent in my scores last month! and my friend who told the testing company (since we didn't take it at UTHSC) fax them in 2 weeks ago and she has a...
  22. Scores sent to wrong school?

    Hi, Do you know how long it should take for scores to be sent? I had called them to pay and send my scores to a nursing school in early Dec, and my application to the nursing school is still saying that they have not received it yet. And I have not y...
  23. UTHSC Houston - Fall 2013

    Does anyone know if there's a way to find out if your scores have arrived at the school or not? I've been trying to call them to see if I need to send them again since they still have it on my "to do list" on my application.
  24. UTHSC Houston - Fall 2013

    Oh, search for transcript on their support website and it should provide you a link to their transcript request form. Fill this out,email it to them and call the number provided on the paper. http://evolvesupport.elsevier.com/ics/support/KBResult.asp...
  25. Help with transcript requests

    Hi, I'm having some difficulties on figuring out how long it should take for transcripts as well as HESI A2 scores to be sent out and processed. I sent a transcript electronically to UTHSC-at Houston on Dec 12th and paid for it on the 17th from UH-m...
