Hey Everyone, I'm a current student in my first semester, so this is all pretty fresh for me. If you have any questions, let me know how I can be of some assistance! Good luck and congrats!!!

Hey classmates! I just started our own Class of '18 Facebook page, come say hi and join, it's closed so I'll approve you on there! Log into Facebook | Facebook

I am building the facebook page for our class right now, I'll post a link by the end of the day :)

I just got my acceptance letter! I'm shaking right now! I can't believe it!!!

Friendlyjane! This might be the day! I'm freaking out!

Thank you so much for reaching out to us! I hope your first semester is going well. And I will hopefully be creating that Facebook page next week! Keep your fingers crossed for us and again, thanks for reaching out!

Hey friendlyjane. So I've looked into this as well, UTHSCSA informed me that they can perform the vaccinations and required bloodwork but they will not fill out the form for you, you will still have to go to another Doctor to do that. But they also said that you could just go to like an TexasMed clinic and they will do it for you, she said the one around the corner from UTHSCSA is familiar with the process.

Alright guys, I don't know about y'all but I'm stressin! haha. I want March 18th to get here...like now! I have been accepted to TLU's and Schreiner's BSN programs for Fall 2016, so I have options, but I am really hoping to get an acceptance from UTHSCSA next week. How's everyone else holding up?

So, the e-mail came in today saying that they will let us know via e-mail by 5pm on March 18th! And now the countdown begins...uggghhhh. 38 days guys, we can do this!

Friendlyjane...I'm in a perpetual state of nausea right now. I'm guessing I will be "just about to throw up" for the next month +! Good luck to all of us, hope to see you guys soon!

Hey friendlyjane, I finished my Hep B series, but am going to send in titers to supplement as well. I've had a positive TB skin test before, so trying to figure out what I need to show them for that. I think they need neg chest rads. Fun fun fun!

Hello Everyone! I'm so happy for everyone that got in and I hope your first semester is going well! I applied for the traditional BSN track at UTHSCSA for Fall 2016 and was wondering if I could get some insight. I've been majorly stressing, I applied with a 3.06 Cumulative GPA, 3.68 Math and Science GPA and an 86.7% on my TEAS-V. I'm worried that my overall GPA is too low and was wondering if anyone who got in was accepted with similar stats? Any and all info is appreciated!

Hey friendlyjane...thanks for the welcome. The references section I left because I remember at a SON info session, they said references aren't looked at. They strictly only look at TEAS, math & science gpa, cumulative and essay questions (I believe in that order) I did the experience and achievements section cause I figured it couldn't hurt to talk myself up a little bit. Lol

Hey guys, so glad I found this group! I tried to start a similar thread but it never got replies. Anyhow, I officially applied a couple of weeks ago, I'm sooooo nervous. I can't wait to find out. My cumulative is 3.06, Math and Science is 3.76 and TEAS was 86.7. Im afraid my cumulative is to low, but hopefully the other criteria make up for it.

I called NursingCAS directly, they said to enter 0 for "F's" and "W's"

I just finished entering my transcript info in to NursingCAS, way back in 2005 I earned a couple of "F's". Does anyone know how NursingCAS calculates those into the GPA if they don't know how many credit hours the course should be worth? For instance, in A&P, a 4 credit course I got an "A" and entered 4 for credits on CAS, in World Lit. a 3 hour course, I got a "B" and entered 3 credits, but my first attempt at US Hist resulted in an F, therefor I entered 0 credits in CAS. I wanna make sure I'm doing everything right and just want to understand the site. All help is much appreciated.

Hello nurses across the country! I still have a ways to go before finishing school, but I'm a planner/dreamer and would like the input of those with experience. After I finish, I plan on moving to NYC, LA or San Francisco; all three are cities that I love and what it boils down to is which is the best for a new nurse. Opinions, experiences and advice are all welcome.

Hey Trish...I just took it. Scored 87% ranked in the 97th percentile! Very excited if you can't already tell by the exclamation points! haha. As a recent taker of the test, a few take-aways I have are a)be diligent in the math section, don't spend too much time on one problem...if you are unsure mark your best guess and if you have time go back and work on it. I took my time to be as careful as possible with my work and ended up losing my question to the timer! ugh! Be detailed, but be wise. b)The science section is a little nutty. Some random physics and geology questions...if you miss those it won't hurt you too much cause there are only a few, just make sure you are STRONG in your anatomy, chem and basic biology. Know your punnets, know your eukaryotes and prokaryotes, know organelles of the cell and their functions, know your organization levels and you should do well. Also, brush up on basic chem. stuff. c) In the reading section I had several questions about predicate, subject-verb agreement, simple sentence...brush up on all that grammar terminology! Get a lot of sleep and use the restroom beforehand! lol. Best of luck to you! Let us know how it goes.
