   @L6870- I like the program! Like all programs, it has had its ups-and-downs. Overall, I loved how short it was and how AWESOME my clinical experience was. I had a fantastic coach and I learned SO much. Students in this program graduate with exception...

   @lele8907- Sorry for the delay. Fall semester is busy with job applications and what not. Honestly, I don't think I'm the best person to ask about paying for the program as I received total support from my parents (I'm 23 and fresh out of undergrad!)...

   @nurseandmomtobe, I brought a professional-looking notepad thing and a couple copies of my resume, but never used either. They have your resume on-hand during the interview and there is really nothing you need to write down. I wouldn't recommend brin...

   Hey ya'll! Sorry, I've been MIA (NCLEX review session and start of FINAL semester!) Congratulations to those who got interviews! I just thought I'd give my two cents about interviews since... Well, I interviewed and was accepted. :) First of all, REL...

   @cinders_gr You don't have a choice in your clinical site. Your primary faculty will place you based on your level of prior experience (i.e., our former paramedic is in the ICU and I am in Cardiopulmonary/IMC), your geographic location, and your pers...

   @lele8907, I can agree with @flyonn that your TEAS V may be a bit low, but it won't necessarily keep you out of the race. I would definitely highlight all of your experience if you get an interview. I got my interview offer about two weeks before I a...

   I doubt I am supposed to say this, but I was told to keep my schedule open on Aug. 27, 29, and 29 for interviews. Typically, admission offers/denials are sent out 5-7 days after interviews. As current students, we are required to attend at least one ...

   @hopefulprayers1, I didn't have physiology done before the application deadline. I mean, physiology! That's a super important class in the list of pre-requisites. I still got in! Having your courses completed will given you an advantage, but it will ...

   @duffel0521- This is my own personal sneaking suspicion that hasn't been backed up yet, but I have reasons to believe that they barely even look at your first degree's overall GPA as long as it is over the minimum requirement of a 3.0. They are more ...

    @cinders_gr, Community activities are clinical activities in which you interact with a population of individuals that pertains to your coursework for that semester. For example, our OB course last semester required us to attend a breastfeeding and ne...

    Hi @cinders_gr! Yes, there are many students in my cohort that have children. One of my closest friends in the program is a mother of four! I am truly amazed by the people who have children in this program because it definitely is a challenge. The ti...

    @Nurseandmomtobe- It's hard to keep track of 37 other people, so I really can't speak for everyone. Based on the people that I have gotten close with, it seems that their clinical experience got them in. Grades don't hurt either. The average GPA, sci...

    @hopefulprayers1- Yes, all of the coursework is online. The first semester is 21 credit hours that are staggered throughout and end/start on various dates. The classes are anywhere from a full 16 weeks to a mere 2 weeks. On a good week, I usually spe...

    @hopefulprayers1- It seems like the deadline is July 1 now, but I can't be sure. TTHSCU doesn't use nursingCAS. You'll submit everything through an independent system on the TTUHSC website. I like the program! It's very hard, but manageable. I feel ...

    @hopefulprayers1- Thank you! Appreciate it. There are a few different campuses; Abilene, Amarillo, Austin, Dallas, Lubbock, and Odessa. Make sure you look into the application process for the second-degree programs through the HSC. It is not the same...
