I'm considering going to nursing school through the Baptist Health System in San Antonio or UTHSCSA. Most people I get advice from tell me hands down to go for UTHSCSA. I would like to hear from more of you who are currently enrolled or have gone thr...

sorry. ignore this .

My GPA was a 3.6 overall, 3.5 science courses and my TEAS score was a 73.

Thank you!!! And good luck with everything!!!

I got accepted!!!!!!!!!!!

I think I remember reading that letters would be sent out by the middle of this month so maybe the 15th give a take a few days. It is very possible we could get them much earlier than that.

Thanks for the clarification. Guess I was thinking it was like that because a friend of mine did her prerequisite courses at a community college, and she did not have a bachelors degree, and was accepted into an accelerated BSN course but it was thro...

No, I don't believe it is only for people with a bachelors. It's like taking the regular BSN nursing program only it's accelerated and only takes 18 months. It's everything crammed into a shorter time frame. I've heard it's very demanding but you'll ...

Nooooo! I know you must be bummed. I can't stand the NursingCas system and I don't know how many people have to experience problems in order for UTHSCSA to dump them. I BARELY received an email TODAY saying my transcripts were verified. What if they...

UTHSCSA should really think of extending that deadline until September 1st instead of August 1st that away summer students are eligible for admissions. By making the deadline August 1st, summer students have to wait seven whole months before they can...

Nothing. Mine is still sitting in limbo. It says transcripts received but nothing about being verified. This. is. annoying.

I don't like all this waiting!

I have no idea how they do it. I would assume that if someone drops from the program, they choose the next qualified nursing student by looking at the next highest score.

I haven't started the forms yet, I plan on doing that tonight. Did you have to hand write the responses, or you typed it up and then printed the form with text in the spaces?

I was a CNA over ten years ago. LOL But in the past I have worked many years in hospital admissions registering patients into the ER and for inpatient/outpatient procedures. Hopefully that does something for me!!

Just checked my email and the second part of the application was sent. It contains the BSN supplemental application and a residency questionnaire. I'm not excited about paying $45 bucks for the application because of my TEAS score, but I'm going to f...

Well I'm bummed! I got my results back for the TEAS score and I got a cumulative score of 73. My score went down because of the math portion. I took too long answering some of the questions so I got quite a few wrong from just guessing instead of lea...

Ok, I found the answer to my question on the UTHSCSA website. Any current classes that are completed after the deadline have to be turned in before orientation. Here is the info: Prior to Application Deadline: Complete at least 51 of the requi...

Do you know when the academic period opened? I still have to update my government class. It just finished

.....

Thank you Range93 for all that helpful information! What I'm most nervous about is the math section and that it's going to be timed. I can't stand the feeling of rushing through a test under pressure, that's when I make the most mistakes. Anyway, I ...

I found this and thought this was interesting to share: http://www.atitesting.com/Libraries/pdf/TEAS_Findings.sflb.ashx

I took the practice TEAS A and failed the science part but my cumulative score was a 74. If you fail science, does it count against you or do they only go by the combined scores?

Thank you so much! I will give it a try! Let me know how you did on the TEAS and what to expect! Oh, and remember to get there at LEAST thirty minutes EARLY. They won't let you test if you don't.
