I'm sorry you didn't get into UTHSC but congrats on getting into LoneStar. Also just so you know, Sam Houston State University's Fall BSN program's application deadline isn't until June if you...

are you in the fb group? I posted a document given to me by an upperclassman that shows what the schedule for the first semester will be like. I believe its class Monday through Wednesday and a...

@LindsayCrowe, I am! Well, I'll be commuting from my parents house in River Plantation and/or my grandmother's house in the Galleria area. I figure the days I need to be in class early or stay...

The other's are correct, UTHSC only has the pacesetter now, which is a 15 month program. So I guess your decision just got harder I've been there, so I feel your pain! My heart said UTMB, my head...

Same thing happened to me and many others. I contacted the school and was told that some of the summer students were accidentally included on the distribution list for the fall acceptance email as...

I think they send the acceptances out in waves. For summer, a lot of us were notified on Feb 28th, then some at the end of the first week in March, and more recently I know of one person that was...

You may be right. In my case, I'm glad they didn't dwell too much on my past academic history. My first two semesters I dropped most of my classes and failed a few. I ended up with an overall GPA of...
Julia_Ann replied to divinenurse's topic in Texas Nursing
I understand. I was trying to decide between the two for quite sometime. I did get a very friendly/relaxed vibe from the person who interviewed me at UTMB and truth be told, if it were closer I would...

I'm not sure why your eval says accelerated, but if you look at UTHealth's SON website the only BSN program available going forward is the Pacesetter which is 15months. As for UTH not caring about...

From what I understand, and everything I have read on the website, the school looks at your nursing prereq GPA and science GPA. Some people are including their overall GPA in their stats as well. The...

So...even though I accepted admission for summer, I just received an email saying I was accepted for Fall as well! Guess I'll be emailing JoAnn to get this figured out. Congrats to everyone that made...

I don't think your overall GPA carries much (if any) weight. I know they look at science and pre-req GPA. I made it into the summer program with a 3.3 overall, 3.802 pre-req, and 4.0

Yes, there is a fb page. I'd suggest joining. There's lots of good info, files, and documents passed down from upperclassmen. Name of the group is UTHSC Houston SON Class of August

Hi everyone! The TEAS V is much harder than the HESI, so if you haven't taken it yet, I'd advise buying the guide as well as practice tests and studying hard! I've actually been accepted at UTMB and...

I'm a list maker too. After sitting down and writing it all out, I know UTHealth is the most logical choice, but something keeps pulling me back to UTMB. Like you said though, the heart can be...
Julia_Ann replied to divinenurse's topic in Texas Nursing
Ha. I stalk them too, no worries! Yes, I was accepted into summer program at UTHealth. I know it shouldn't be that hard to decide. My head says UTHealth, my heart says UTMB. I commuted over an hour...

FYI the Houston Junior League offers free Healthcare Provider BLS CPR certification classes through the American Heart Association. I was able to sign up for the April class, but it looks like it's...
