* oops, they got offers from MICU and ER, not SICU

I think most hospitals here prefer BSN and you probably have a leg up if you've been a tech somewhere, but I've had a couple of people in my cohort get offers from Parkland SICU and ER with no experience. I don't have experience and my previous degree is in engineering. The only 'inside' info I have is that Parkland requires a 3-year commitment. Some people are put off by this but I don't mind. I'm graduating in 7 days with a BSN, 3.84 GPA, and no hospital work experience whatsoever.

I interviewed with burn also and am waiting. Please post if/when you hear something. Do you know how many positions they have?

@tlacey12 If you're talking about the AP BSN, the program is designed to be completed in 15 months (4 semesters, including a summer). Everyone in your cohort takes the same classes during each semester.

@gbfuturenurse Did my background check 5/28. Got my blue postcard 6/19.

They also offer all of their required science pre-reqs (with labs) online.

True. Clinicals aren't online. They have partner hospitals in DFW area and Houston area. But the classes are online. I was just trying to name a BSN vs RN-BSN online program.

University of Texas at Arlington AP BSN. I start this fall!

Does your driving record show active warrants?

BB Orientation is up for Off-Campus!

BB Orientation is up. Yay!

Congratulations!

I haven't heard anything. Hoping they'll open it Monday. The crickets are chirping...

I had this same attitude when I got my bachelors in engineering. Those same C's came back to haunt me when applying for nursing school. I plan on furthering my studies after I get my BSN next December, so C's won't cut it for me anymore. Be careful about being lackadaisical about grades because you just might wish you hadn't been later on down the road. Your children are very important though, not arguing that! :)

I haven't received my Fast Fingerprint Pass form yet. I emailed the UTA CON on Friday and they said they haven't heard back from the Texas BON yet.
