  2. Job shadow help for DFW

    dfwbsndude posted a topic in Texas Nursing

    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...

  5. Pre Reqs and BSN program courses

    dfwbsndude replied to Minch's topic in University of Texas Arlington

    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...

  6. College algebra - OMG!

    dfwbsndude replied to Neonursej's topic in University of Texas Arlington

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

    dfwbsndude replied to Neonursej's topic in University of Texas Arlington

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

    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

  9. Just applied to UTA

    dfwbsndude replied to casiegarcia's topic in University of Texas Arlington

    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...

  10. Just applied to UTA

    dfwbsndude replied to casiegarcia's topic in University of Texas Arlington

    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...

  11. Just applied to UTA

    dfwbsndude replied to casiegarcia's topic in University of Texas Arlington

    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...

  12. Just applied to UTA

    dfwbsndude replied to casiegarcia's topic in University of Texas Arlington

    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...

  13. Just applied to UTA

    dfwbsndude replied to casiegarcia's topic in University of Texas Arlington

    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...

  14. Just applied to UTA

    dfwbsndude replied to casiegarcia's topic in University of Texas Arlington

    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...

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

  16. UTA Fall 2013

    dfwbsndude replied to futureexpectations's topic in University of Texas Arlington

    Where is the clinical exactly and is the schedule fixed or flexible? I'm in DFW too and working towards starting the Sept '14

  17. If you went to WGU and then on to NP school, where?

    dfwbsndude replied to dandk1997RN's topic in Western Governors University

    Interesting...I wonder if they were admitted. It seems like they were still in the process of applying based on the response. Accepting the credits and getting admitted are two different things. Still...

  18. If you went to WGU and then on to NP school, where?

    dfwbsndude replied to dandk1997RN's topic in Western Governors University

    Oh, I also read somewhere too that WGU has a forum for its students that has posts about NP schools students have gotten in with their degree. It would be nice to see that

  19. If you went to WGU and then on to NP school, where?

    dfwbsndude replied to dandk1997RN's topic in Western Governors University

    Couple other things to consider about WGU: they are a longer program than others, 2 1/2 years, and they seem to be more competitive to get into. For Dallas they only take 12 people per each cohort....

  20. What are typical clinical shifts for DFW?

    dfwbsndude posted a topic in Western Governors University

    I had my pre-admission meeting today with the WGU admissions counselor. So far I am impressed with the program though the applicant spots seem ridiculously competitive compared to other programs. Only...

  21. If you went to WGU and then on to NP school, where?

    dfwbsndude replied to dandk1997RN's topic in Western Governors University

    I would also like to know this. I've asked before and no one really responded. I'd be curious if any WGU BSN grads have gone into any of the Dallas area NP programs like UTA's. Hopefully someone will...

  22. Excited and a little skeptical about BSN pre license program

    dfwbsndude posted a topic in Western Governors University

    So I have made the decision to change careers and couldn't be more excited. I recently met a really awesome NICU NP and got to see her work. Wow! I can't imagine myself doing anything else in life....

  23. Excited and a little skeptical about BSN pre license program

    dfwbsndude replied to dfwbsndude's topic in Western Governors University

    That's a really good idea. The pre license questions seem to get lost among the others. I've seen people mention no problems going into a NP too, but always second hand. I'm all for the flexibility...
