    ICUtoCRNA2 replied to ahrogers's topic in School, College Programs

    I have all hard copies! I do also have pdf versions but I exclusively have used hard

  2. Texas Tech Accelerated 2nd Degree Program 2022

    ICUtoCRNA2 replied to ahrogers's topic in School, College Programs

    @DCV it’s actually the same book for both chronic and acute care, which is a fall course (it runs the entire semester, until 12/8) so I’m still using it

    ICUtoCRNA2 replied to ahrogers's topic in School, College Programs

    @DCV here’s the entire booklist! Ignore the prices. You can get them a lot cheaper than they list. Personally, I bought all of my textbooks from someone in the cohort before me and I plan on selling...

    ICUtoCRNA2 replied to ahrogers's topic in School, College Programs

    @Kim valdez I don't remember specifics except that it was on Zoom with two faculty members. I'm not sure if this year is on Zoom or in person. It's not a very long time slot, so prepare answers for...

  5. Texas Tech Accelerated 2nd Degree Program 2022

    ICUtoCRNA2 replied to ahrogers's topic in School, College Programs

    You’re welcome! I’m happy to help any way I can. I know this time last year I was trying to get as many details as possible about what to expect! Good luck to everyone who applied. Hang in...

  6. Texas Tech Accelerated 2nd Degree Program 2022

    ICUtoCRNA2 replied to ahrogers's topic in School, College Programs

    @wannabnurse123 very cool! There are lots of us doing clinicals at NAMC ? yeah I would definitely wait to decide where you're doing school before deciding to go part time or PRN. We didn't actually...

  7. Texas Tech Accelerated 2nd Degree Program 2022

    ICUtoCRNA2 replied to ahrogers's topic in School, College Programs

    @wannabnurse123 you CAN work but it’s not recommended. I know several in our cohort do but everyone that I know of has dropped to PRN by this point. Which St. David’s hospital and unit are you...

  8. Texas Tech Accelerated 2nd Degree Program 2022

    ICUtoCRNA2 replied to ahrogers's topic in School, College Programs

    @DCV I actually tracked my hours for a while in the Spring because I was curious how much time I was actually putting it. Personally, I never do every single recommended reading, online module, etc. I...

  9. Texas Tech Accelerated 2nd Degree Program 2022

    ICUtoCRNA2 replied to ahrogers's topic in School, College Programs

    @DCV we always get a blueprint for exams, but only a week ahead of time. It gives a VERY loose breakdown of how many questions come from each chapter and are the focused on nursing care, patho,...

  10. Texas Tech Accelerated 2nd Degree Program 2022

    ICUtoCRNA2 replied to ahrogers's topic in School, College Programs

    I'm also in the Austin cohort and I agree with MOST of the above but to a lesser extent. To be clear- this is unlike any other online courses you've taken. I think that is SO IMPORTANT to know...

  11. Texas Tech Accelerated 2nd Degree Program 2022

    ICUtoCRNA2 replied to ahrogers's topic in School, College Programs

    Yay! Good luck everyone! For me it was 8/19 that I heard back, so it's a bit of a wait. But from there, it moves pretty quickly! Interview was within a week and I heard back less than a month...

  12. Texas Tech Accelerated 2nd Degree Program 2022

    ICUtoCRNA2 replied to ahrogers's topic in School, College Programs

    @DCV we haven't gotten details yet, but my understanding from previous cohorts is that we are invited to walk at the official graduation in December in Lubbock but most cohorts also plan their own...

  13. Texas Tech Accelerated 2nd Degree Program 2022

    ICUtoCRNA2 replied to ahrogers's topic in School, College Programs

    @robertaj my overall and science GPA were both around 3.3 but I also had everything done before applying. The way I understand it, you get extra “points” for certain things - so I completed CNA,...

  14. Texas Tech Accelerated 2nd Degree Program 2022

    ICUtoCRNA2 replied to ahrogers's topic in School, College Programs

    @Nicci808 it was for me. I had about 9 months experience as a patient care tech in the hospital setting. I do know that there are several in our cohort with no prior medical experience though. We have...

    ICUtoCRNA2 replied to ahrogers's topic in School, College Programs

    Good luck everybody! Here’s how it played out for me last year: application closed 7/15 interview invitation 8/19 interviewed 8/26 offer of admission

  16. Texas Tech Accelerated 2nd Degree Program 2022

    ICUtoCRNA2 replied to ahrogers's topic in School, College Programs

    There is both an Austin and a San Antonio cohort! You should be able to choose one as your first choice and one as your second on your application. We started with 40 students in the Austin cohort (a...

    ICUtoCRNA2 replied to Keg2334's topic in School, College Programs

    I agree that reaching out to admissions is a great idea - name recognition can only help you! I will also say that medical experience is not a requirement and they do truly seem to take a holistic...

  18. Texas Tech-Accelerated BSN Spring 2020

    ICUtoCRNA2 replied to kantwine's topic in School, College Programs

    @DCV I did! Last year they only required the training and not the test - I think it is the same this year. I was accepted and I had completed my training back in 2015. I had gotten certified as well...

    ICUtoCRNA2 replied to ahrogers's topic in School, College Programs

    Hi @Sallyt I'm not sure which city you live in, but I did the Clinical Terminology for International and U.S. Students online through Coursera/University of Pittsburg. I believe the course was free...

  20. Texas Tech Accelerated 2nd Degree Program 2022

    ICUtoCRNA2 replied to ahrogers's topic in School, College Programs

    In the past, you just had to complete the CNA course. Taking the state exam was not required. You could always reach out to admissions to clarify for this year! As far as how many students at...

  21. Texas Tech-Accelerated BSN Spring 2020

    ICUtoCRNA2 replied to kantwine's topic in School, College Programs

    @Jo222 there really aren't traditional lectures in this program. We're given modules to complete, reading assignments, etc. and very occasionally there is a pre-recorded "lecture" of sorts in there...

    ICUtoCRNA2 replied to kantwine's topic in School, College Programs

    @DCV sure just email me!

  23. Texas Tech-Accelerated BSN Spring 2020

    ICUtoCRNA2 replied to kantwine's topic in School, College Programs

    That’s what they told me too and it hasn’t been the case for me personally. I usually did two 12 hour shifts per week at the hospital for clinical and 4-6 hours a day the other weekdays. I always...

    ICUtoCRNA2 replied to Keg2334's topic in School, College Programs

    @Jo222 I *think* they only count the highest score but I’m not

  25. Texas Tech Accelerated 2nd Degree Program 2021

    ICUtoCRNA2 replied to Keg2334's topic in School, College Programs

    @Jo222 yes! I would definitely still apply. I'd for sure recommend you reach out to the admissions office to get your name out there, attend any and all informational webinars, etc. I think having...
