   Thank you Valnoslo, that is a great link! I didn't think to look for a Texas Nurse Association as a resource.

   So Children's has an observer program: Observation Program - Volunteer - Children's Medical Ceanter - Dallas Does anyone have a contact there that would be willing to let an eager nursing student shadow them? :)

4. Job shadow help for DFW

   dfwbsndude posted a topic in Texas

   I'd be really appreciative if someone can give me a direct contact for setting up a job shadow for a day. I just started my prereq classes for UTA's online BSN program. Everything I have researched about nursing leads me to believe this is the right ...

   I took the second semester history course at the Dallas Community colleges online for this past Maymester. It was a cinch and I finished it in 2 1/2 weeks - I work full time too. I had to write two short essay responses on the class discussion board ...

   I also recommend http://www.kahnacademy.org for studying algebra. Great blackboard style videos on most algebra topics.

   I would think the algebra CLEP would be a challenge unless you are naturally good at math.

   This is a great book for getting up to speed on Algebra: Amazon.com: Forgotten Algebra (9780764120084): Barbara Lee Bleau: Books Algebra for Dummies is good as well.

   I'm in the same boat, January just doesn't seem possible with my work schedule and the amount of classes I need. I'd rather take my time and keep my science GPA up. Are you in DFW? I'm taking Chemistry starting July 11 for 5 weeks through DCCCD. In c...

    dfwbsndude replied to casiegarcia's topic in Texas (UTA)

    oh wow! You might try taking the CLEP exam on some of the intro classes, like psych and sociology - I've heard those are fairly easy to study for. I just took the second history class during a 2 week summer session through the Dallas Community Colleg...

    dfwbsndude replied to casiegarcia's topic in Texas (UTA)

    I'm hoping for the same. How many of the prereqs do you still need to fulfill? I've got all the sciences, a Texas govt class, Literature, Sociology, Dev Psych, Statistics...I don't think I'll make the January deadline for Sept 2014 start. It really s...

    I'm a little leery of WGU...while I like their program for it requiring less prerequisites, they don't seem to hold the same quality standard for their students for what you come in with compared to UTA. For example, they will except StraighterLine o...

    Actually this is what the CON advisor told me, hopefully he is targeting an August start with enough time for me to get ready. I will be in contact once my evaluation is complete. Your patience is much appreciated. I am aware of the registration dead...

    dfwbsndude replied to casiegarcia's topic in Texas (UTA)

    Wow, it is a little frustrating to see it takes this long for the application reviews at UTA. I got notification on Jun 4th that my app was complete, but if people are taking 3+ months to get accepted there is no way I'll make an August start

    Wow, that is quite a drive! Hopefully they bundle the schedule for you in easy chunks. Thanks for the info.
