Last semester I took micro, chem, gov 2, eng 2, statistics (17hrs) and a CNA course. I am so happy to have hair left on my head lol i literally cut everyone out of my life for those 4 months of school. I ended up making all A's.( thank goodness :-) however I would not recommend taking that many hrs unless you have no other choice. I would definitely take A&P 2 before nursing begins so your focus will be solely on the nursing courses .

No I'm from sugar land texas about 1hr45min away. I have been to the Bryan/college station area 2 times now to go apt hunting and I found my place YAY! I will be moving there mid aug. I bought a pharm book at half price books to kind of read through but I highly doubt I will finish before school lol in your class did you form study groups and stuff like that? Also has anyone dropped out of the program. I always wondered if the programs end with the same amount that started.

Oh wow! I defenately need to make my way there! What is the name of the store? And it's in Bryan or college station? Not really familiar with the area.

Thanks so much! Very helpful on the other blinn thread I asked about this and you just answered my questions.

Aww thanks! I'm so excited! I know it's hard work, but I'm looking forward to the challenge. I'm most nervous about patho and pharm. any tips?

I took it already. I finished all of my pre req classes b/c I applied to BSN as well as ADN programs. Will you be in the fall program?

Have you made a decision on what you are going to do?

I thought that would be the case but I guess not lol. If you haven't heard back yet there is still a chance for ya lol stay positive guys it's crazy but it's better to have not heard anything yet you still have a chance lol I'm sure y'all will find out by this week or next. They were working late b/c my email was sent after 9 pm so they are working hard

Thanks everyone! No it didn't go to my spam it was sent/ I received it at 9:15pm last night.

Thanks! :-)

Sorry for asking a million and one questions lol

CONGRATS! How long did it take you to get your blue card? I started my process like 2 weeks after the email was sent. I need to check my mail more often lol. I'm so excited! I am glad to finally see someone on here going to the same school! It really felt real once was registered in the classes that we will be taking. Do you live in the Bryan/ college station area? If so do you have recommendations on apartments? I will be out there tomorrow on the hunt!

I just got an email from UTMB saying that I did not get in :-/ kinda sad but I start at blinn August 26th :-) good luck to every one! Check your email :-)

I have fulfilled all of the things I need to do to get started at blinn in August fingerprint physical exam etc. If I don't make it in this go round I will start there. The reason I did is because I know someone who applied to a BSN program 3 times before getting into her choice school. Se wanted to get in there because of the location and she has kids so commuting far was not an option.That's a year and a half wasted where if she had just accepted the school that did accept her she would have been darn near done with school. If you feel like you would have a good chance of getting in next semester and you are set on attending utmb then follow your heart. On the flip side you did get into a good program so you have somewhere to fall back on,at this point it's just up to you and what you feel is best for your situation.

Yay! Congrats girl! I'm sure that's one big sigh of relief

Question?? Anyone heard anything about baptist health in San Antonio? I got an acceptance email this morning ? I applied there a few days before their deadline and totally forgot about it lol. It's an ADN program. I was so nervous about only applying to utmb, wharton, and blinn b/c wharton ( I got rejected) and blinn ( where I got in) have small programs. I'm still trying to hold out for good ol utmb b/c it is a BSN program. My nails literally look like nubs lol from the stress endured these past few weeks

Hey! I received my letter of acceptance to the fall 2013 ADN program!! so excited. ?? just wanted to see if anyone else received their letters. I live in the sugarland/ Richmond tx area so I'm 2 hrs away. I need to figure out living arrangements. Looking forward to hearing from you.

Thanks! And to answer your other post about what to do, I suggest accepting where you were accepted. I have to respond to blinn by may31st I'm going to hold off a few more days; however, If I don't hear from utmb I will go ahead and accept blinn. I don't want to turn them down and get turned down by utmb. Hold out as long as you can but dont let it jeopardize Texas tech. I have seen on threads of people getting accepted to utmb a day-1 week after classes have started!!! lol On the other hand living in odessa sounds expensive!!! I thought the apartments I was looking at we're crazy lol (750) for a 1 bedroom but I found another place that has a four bedroom four bathroom individual lease for ($404) all utilities paid except for electric. Sounds good but nervous about living with 4 roommates .

Also how do you like the program? Any advice?

I have a question :-) I just got accepted into the fall 2013 ADN program(yay!) how long does it take to get your blue card back from the BON after you get the background check done?

Congrats to me! I got accepted into Blinn ADN program :-) man! I really want to hear from UTMB, but I am just glad I got in somewhere!

Congrats everyone

Hahaha this song has been stuck in my head for the past hr. after reading this post. I had to come back and let you know. AHHHHH! I am ready for those emails, letters, pigeon with a note tied to its leg, or however they send out the acceptance letters. Lol this has been the most stressful time of my life.... So far.

I sent you a PM asking info about HBU

I might be going to HBU. I got accepted today, not as a nursing major (I missed that deadline lol) but as a biology major. It's my back up plan if I don't get into the nursing programs. I also applied to Texas a&m international university and before I can apply to their nursing program, there are 5 nursing classes I have to take like intro to nursing And pathophysiology etc. has anyone else seen schools that require classes that you would usually take after being accepted into a nursing program? I'm thinking they do this to weed out people who fail first semester after taking these classes
