I *might* be applying to the Summer 2015 program. I'm not 100% sure. I'm also applying to the UT AE MSN, so I'm still trying to decide if I'll be applying to the UTHSC Program... I have a bachelor's in psych and am already in Austin, so hoping to get...

Hi all, I apologize in advance if this is in the wrong place... I am currently deciding between applying for a Bacc2 BSN or an alternate entry (I think it's also called direct entry?) MSN.. I looked at the UTH accelerated nursing program in the past,...

I think that this is definitely a good starting point, but you are doing a lot of "telling" and not enough "showing". Show the events that made you want to become a nurse, get descriptive. Remember that they read like 8 bajillion essays and you don't...

I'm in Texas, you should take a look at the TTUHSC 12 month online program... it's 12 months and distance. You need a CNA certification and a few unique pre-reqs (pathophysiology to be specific)... but that might be your best option. Additionally, yo...

This is TOTALLY doable. It sounds like you are a pretty strong student as is, so I think you can handle it. I took literally the most (unnecessarily) difficult anatomy class EVER along with 2 govt classes this past semester.... all while working 40 h...

Welcome to allnurses and out of lurkdom :) I'm 23 - mama to a 2.5 year old girl and a little man on the way in July. I was planning on applying to a bunch of accelerated BSN programs for the summer of next year, but I can take less pre-reqs through t...

MissKAL, when you say "MSN not being accepted" toward becoming an NP, what do you mean? Do you just mean that the MSN at UT doesn't have a pathway for NP or that other universities are not accepting it?

I hope you open a book in A&P regardless of what you're teacher is doing in class.... That being said, for every class, when you get the syllabus, read it twice. Mark down any dates in your planners. Triple check them against the syllabus and mak...

The important thing to distinguish here is whether or not the lab is online. To me, it sounds like you're looking for a class with the lecture and lab online. I would sincerely advise against this. Though it won't necessarily say "online distance cou...

I have a BA in psych, so I'm biased.... but I think psychology classes make you a more rounded person and more capable to put yourself in someone else's shoes. Being able to look outside of yourself and understand that others often perceive things di...

For those of you who have taken the Hesi A-2, do you think that having taken anatomy without the physiology, that you could do well? My whole thought is that it is physically impossible to not learn physiology when taking anatomy because the function...

The Risk is my application is due on August 15th and I don't know if I'll be able to get into a physiology class over the summer (we have silly rules at my college where you can't take micro or physio without having first completed anatomy) much less...

I think you should listen to your parents. You're taking a lot of classes that require memorizing small details which can take some time to really memorize.. If you have a good work ethic, it can certainly be done... but it's not optimal. If your par...

Dranger, It's no use arguing after a certain point lol... I've tried, A lot of people are buying it for the name. I work for a competitor of Apple (just being honest about my opinions because that's what our company asks us to do when we engage in d...

The major problem with Chromebooks is that you absolutely have to have some type of internet access to access your documents. all storage is in the cloud on these, which is great because it doesn't not down your computer.... Except that this means yo...

I know for most us we have ideas about where we'd like to start straight out of school if we had our pick of the litter, so to speak. For myself, I'd love to start straight away in L&D so that I can get my year (or more) of experience there befor...

^ Manny92 gave a really great answer. I'd like to also add that thinking critically means you are capable of moving beyond rote memorization. For example, you can memorize the name of every bone in the body, but what good does that you do if you cann...

I would expect that it would be unethical for a nursing school to subject it's students to something like that... at the very least, a lawsuit waiting to happen. I didn't know the mannequins are so high-tech though... That's really neat!

You obviously failed to read my initial post thoroughly. I *work* for a major IT company that directly competes with Apple. I have an apple at home. I have colleagues that work at Apple, Google, etc. I'm pretty up to date on the IT industry. Which is...

It is just paying for a name... hard drives for all the major computer companies in the world come from the same exact place.. as do much of the other parts needed to make a computer. As for not getting viruses, that's not the case any more as Mac is...

I am up in the Austin area and will be a semester behind you all... Just wanted to say good luck to all of you!

I have been exploring options like this as well and what everyone is telling me is to do the BSN. ADN's are being pushed out by those with more extensive academic credentials, so even if you went through an ADN program, it's not a guarantee to find w...

Honestly, I think it's entirely possible to do it. The biggest thing is do you think it's possible? I'm taking anatomy and two government classes this semester in addition to working a 40 hour work week to support my husband and daughter. People thin...

Hi, I am starting my nursing pre-reqs this spring and wondering what courses I absolutely need before taking the HESI-A2? This will be my second bachelor's so the only courses I'm missing are two government courses, Anatomy, Phys (they split them her...
