  1. Passed NCLEX 1st try

    Just found out today that I passed my NCLEX RN!! Praise God! I graduated my BSN program May 12,2016 and tested June 1, 2016. My exam shut off at 110 questions and it was probably the hardest test I've taken there always seemed to be 2 good answers t...
  2. Capstone UTA

    I start my capstone at UTA in April, I was under the impression that there wouldn't be much coursework involved, I thought the main focus was actually just following your nurse preceptor around and finally getting to use some of our nursing skills. ...
  3. Research Nursing

    Sorry I haven't been on AN in a while (Pedi and Critical care are keeping me busy!) As #proudtobeanurse suggested work ahead if possible, I always work ahead as much as I can in my down time to get things out of the way if the instructor will allow ...
  4. Clinicals-UTA Nursing Online

    Your cohort will be split up into groups of 8-10 students and each group is assigned a clinical site, they try to place you at one of your top 3 choices, but they give special consideration to the partnered students who work at a hospital and there a...
  5. Research Nursing

    I took research over the summer at UTA and just finished a couple weeks ago. At first it seemed worse than it actually was, it was a heavy reading load and to be honest I gave up thouroughly reading and re-reading the chapters after week 2, I made...
  6. To extern or not to extern?

    I'm currently a junior in an AP BSN program, in the fall I will be a Senior and will be graduating in the Spring. The program is online and year round so I don't get the summer off, but my assignments and coursework and study time has been mostly e...
  7. I feel like I've made a mistake signing this contract.

    I would jump at a deal like that! I wish they offered something like that in my area... free BSN and a guaranteed job after graduation?!?! I'll be graduating with about $20k in student loans and I'm still 9 months away from graduation, but I'm alre...
  8. UTA online AP BSN program- with a baby

    Congratulations! It will be hard but it is doable. The AP BSN program is awesome, I was able to work full time hours and keep up with my 2 kiddos (3 and 6 thank God they sleep through the night lol). My clinicals were also Saturday-Sunday for J1 se...
  9. I know this was a while back, but I did end up getting Accepted into UTA AP BSN program at the 11th hour, it was about 2 weeks before the semester started and I was all set to go to Baylor in Dallas which would have been over an hour commute for me e...
  10. I'm facing a dilemma! I just got notification that I was placed on the wait list for UTA nursing school!! it's half the cost of Baylor where I have been accepted, already been to orientation, and set up my financial aid. At UTA I would graduate soo...
  11. HESI exam

    I'm definitely not an expert, I am also a first semester student but here is my little advice for what it's worth. I just took my final and HESI today. What helped me is taking practice tests and answering questions and READING RATIONALES (even if ...
  12. UTA Spring 2015

    I was called off the wait list, I am not partnered I took 2 sciences (AP2 & Micro) & intro to nursing at UTA but most of my other credits came from community college. I had a good score on my entrance HESI and my GPA was pretty good, but I h...
  13. Fall 2015 Acceptance

    If you were wait listed dont worry, many people get in to both the in-seat and online programs and have to give up a seat in one of the programs, some people also will not pass the background check or for many other reasons students will have to give...
  14. UTA Academic Partnership BSN program

    I am currently a nursing student in the UTA AP BSN program. If I remember correctly, I believe I submitted my application in August of 2014 and acceptance letters did not go out until mid October or early November for the Spring 2015 start. I do r...

  16. UTA AP Spring 2015 Applicants AWAITING ACCEPTANCE

    I was waitlisted and got the call last week. I was accepted in to the AP BSN off campus program as well. I felt so overwhelmed with all of the info I got in one day, and the long list of things to do, but I'm mostly done now, and I'm just excited t...
  17. Reflections of your first semester?

    thanks for this! I have 2 small children and I was already feeling guilty about abandoning them, and not being around. I hope I can balance as well as you did!
  18. e-books or textbooks?

    Thanks for the input! I think I am going to purchase the e-book package and if I decide I want physical copies of any of my books I will buy or rent them as I go, hopefully I can figure out how to use them!
  19. e-books or textbooks?

    I got my book list today, and we have the option of ordering all e-books for about $600 less than the textbook package, I figure it's a win-win, I can still "highlight" and bookmark and search and all that so it sounds better in my opinion, I have a ...
  20. Hi! I'm starting my nursing program in Spring 2015 and I'm worried about getting into trouble with my blood sugar during clinicals. I've heard stores of not being able to use the restroom or eat anything during the clinical shift, and I'm worried tha...

  23. You ladies are an inspiration, I have a 3 and 6 year old and work PRN averaging 24-36 hrs/ week. I'll be starting my BSN program in a few weeks and I know that there are a lot of people in similar situations. At least now I know it's possible!
  24. saw my tuition estimations...

    I'm with you, I was suffering from major sticker shock after I saw my estimates. I wrote a letter to the financial aid office begging for any help since I quit my full-time job and started a part- time job to start this program, and they were awesom...
