    @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...

    @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...

    kaseyroo replied to evenursetobe's topic in Online Distance Learning

    @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...

    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...

    @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...

    kaseyroo replied to evenursetobe's topic in Online Distance Learning

    @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...

    kaseyroo replied to evenursetobe's topic in Online Distance Learning

    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...

    @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...

    @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...

    @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...

    kaseyroo replied to evenursetobe's topic in Online Distance Learning

    @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...

    kaseyroo replied to evenursetobe's topic in Online Distance Learning

    @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...

    Sure. I had a BS ('12) from UT with an overall of a 3.5ish and a pre-requisite of a 3.7ish. I got an 80% on my TEAS. I had about two years of experience as a PCT (CNA/phlebotomy certified) on a...

    Hey guys! I am currently in the 2014 cohort here in Austin, TX and I remember how grueling the admission process was. We get about two weeks off between the spring and summer semester, so I would be...
