Has anyone made a Facebook group??

Have you heard back yet? I emailed Dr.*** and the general twu nursing email but haven’t received a reply. Mine still says awaiting review

Hi! I'm a student at UTHealth.. we do start clinicals our first semester! The majority of them are just the last semester. for example: first semester is care 1 clinical, second semester is psych clinicals and third is community clinicals. Last semester is care 2, OB, pedi and high acuity clinicals. Our second semester we also spend some time in a nursing home since we have a geriatric course. Our last semester is just clinicals! No tests so we just focus on clinicals and getting a job. We have labs throughout the program as well. I'm a last semester student, and I can tell you that I feel confident in passing the NCLEX whenever I graduate. You can look at all the schools NCLEX pass rates on the Texas BON website under education. The scores are almost the same for this past year,but you can see what the pass rates were for the past 5 years. Both are great schools!

I believe OP meant just her spring semester GPA not her overall GPA, I was confused as well

I believe you can only get your BSN online if you have your RN license (after completing an ADN program). So the only way to get from LVN to BSN is on campus. You could do LVN to RN then to BSN

Student housing is cheap but they have a wait list (I heard if you go in person near the end of the semester it's better-our semester is over may 5 btw). A lot of student live at parque view, it's right by student housing and the bus stop & cheap. Basically, you have to look for an apartment yourself. The school doesn't really have any student apartments or anything of that nature. Feel free to message me with any questions, I'm a current student!

It takes a few weeks to get everything cleared through the system you upload your immunizations etc. you have to be cleared to registered for classes...hope that helps!

Maybe your prof doesn't help with your learning style? A&P is solely memorization. If you can still drop without penalty on your GPA, I would do that & take a different prof. I personally rewrote my notes 3 times for a&p. I wouldn't give up on nursing just yet.

I love planners and calendars! I probably have too many...I have a Lily Pulitzer planner to go with me, a dry erase board calendar in my room, a dry erase weekly calendar above my desk, a big month calendar on my desk & an app on my iPad that sends me notifications. It's the best way for me to never forget about something & see what's in store. It may be too much but it helps me!

SHSU, Texas state, SFA, Texas Tech (25 if she's in the first quarter of her class). They all having nursing programs, not ADN. BSN are preferred. There's other BSN programs in Texas if she does her prereqs somewhere else. Other BSN programs: UTH, UTMB, TWU. Collegeboard.org is a really good website to compare schools

A lot of people do choose nursing as a second degree. But if you already have the intention of doing nursing, I say you go for nursing first! I was going to major in kinesiology at first to then go to grad school for occupational therapy. I realized if something were to happen like not get into grad school, babies or something, I couldn't find a good job with a bachelor In kinesiology. I've always had my heart in nursing so I chose nursing :)

Just as a piece of advice, nursing is based on sciences. I made A's in my sciences and still struggle in nursing school. You can be a hard worker but you have to a strong science background to succeed. It all builds and gets more complex in nursing school. I started my bsn program when I was 19. But if you want it, you have to give it your all. In no way do I want to come off rude, I have a friend that is in your similar position so I understand. Just try to keep your grades up & learn the material not memorize!

Hello! You can go to Texas BON's website and look up approved programs & their NCLEX passing rates. If you're in the Houston area, I would say UTH (Little bias). There's also UTMB, TWU & Prairie view a&m.

It depends on you! Looking back, I would've done it. I took stats & a&p2 at the same, almost took micro as well. I loved micro so I could've done it at the same time. My nutrition class was only & a piece of cake. Make sure you can handle it!

Hey yall, I'm a current student at UTH. Don't stress over numbers! There's students with 4.0s that get deny but students with 3.4,3.5s that get accepted. Good luck waiting! And as far as getting everything done, you will have plenty of time!
