  1. St. David's/ HCA nurses- Is Meditech on the way out?

    Probably not, I heard HCA has a stake in Meditech.
  2. UTHSC Summer 2017

    Admitted students day is NOT orientation. At Admit day you get more information on registering for classes, financial aid, parking, and you will get to speak to other students too about their experiences in nursing school (I will be there!). I would...
  3. UTHSC Summer 2017

    I started Summer 16 and we started with 120-125 students.
  4. UTHSC Summer 2017

    Its about 12 weeks vs. the normal 16 weeks of a long semester.
  5. UTHSC Summer 2017

    I had clinical at the school today and saw them setting up for the information session. I'll be honest and say summer is probably the best term to start. You're easiest semester is the first one (even though at the time it feels like you're dying) an...
  6. UTHSC Summer 2017

    Over 100 for sure. I couldn't really tell you. We have some students from cohorts in front of us who failed or dropped a class and are now in our cohort.
  7. UTHSC Summer 2017

    My stats: Overall 4.0 Nursing GPA 4.0 Hesi 95% CT 980 Honestly, do not put too much thought into stats, there is no rhyme or reason as to how UTHealth picks students.
  8. UTHSC Summer 2017

    I started Summer 2016 and we started out with about 120 students.
  9. I wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. I definitely recommend studying well in advance and do not take the Hesi if you have not completed Anatomy and Physiology 1 and 2. I do recommend Elsevier's study guide, but only for certain sections. The poc...
  10. UTHSC Summer 2017

    You are required by the BON to have a minimum number of clinical hours. It doesn't matter if your semester is shorter than a normal semester, you will have the same number of clinical hours as longer semesters. Your semester will just be more compact...
  11. UTHSC Summer 2017

    It doesn't matter what semester your last semester clinicals fall into. You have to have to same amount of clinical hours as any other student to graduate.
  12. Should I do all clinicals at the VA?

    Well because 1. it's a teaching hospital and the nurses are used to having students on the floor and 2. I had other classmates who were at well known magnet hospitals and the nurses were very weary of letting the students do things they were checked ...
  13. Houston New Grad Pay Rate?

    The higher pay in the med center offsets the huge amount in parking you will be paying a month.
  14. Should I do all clinicals at the VA?

    I recently did clinical at the VA hospital here in Houston. I was a really good experience. I learned a lot from the nurses and they patients were awesome! And yes, it is a teaching hospital. I was able to do a lot more there than I would have at ano...

  16. UTMB Fall 2016

    I think it's for accepted and waitlist. I was accepted and declined my acceptance and never got one. I would go ahead and do it, you'll end up getting off the waitlist at the last second and you'll want to have all your ducks in a row.
  17. UTMB Fall 2016

    The letter also stated we had till April 15th to accept so I am assuming that is when they will make another round.
  18. UTMB Fall 2016

    I received an acceptance letter today in the mail. My interview was on March 10th, I believe. I didn't receive an e-mail. Update: I did receive an e-mail on 4/01 but it was in my junk mail. I won't be accepting this spot because I got into my first c...
  19. UTHSC Traditional BSN Fall 2016 Applicants

    I received one even though I already accepted admission for the summer term.
  20. UTMB Fall 2016

    I got one too. Ironically mine is the day before a friend who was in the first wave.
  21. UTHSC Houston - Summer 2016 Applicants

    No, it's one of those 3 days. They will place you.
  22. UTHSC Houston - Summer 2016 Applicants

    I submitted my application in August shortly after my summer grades posted. I applied with 41 credit hours and 4.0 science/pre-req GPA and 95.6% 980 CT HESI score. At the end of December I submitted my transcript from my fall classes so I had 54 hour...
  23. UTHSC Traditional BSN Fall 2016 Applicants

    I think A LOT of people apply for both summer and fall and it seems like they review for both semesters and try to place students accordingly. I think that is why you see some fall acceptances while they are still going summer.
