    Having so much fun!

    ItsThatJenGirl replied to ItsThatJenGirl's topic in General Students

    Random update. It looks like my patho teacher curved the grades for our test and my grade went up to a 90. I'm not sure how to feel about that, but she's new this year and I guess it is what it is. I...

    Hi, I'm Jen. I'm 36 and currently finishing up my pre-requisites at SAC. I'll be applying to UTHSCSA next year around this time for Spring 2018. Just wanted to chat with other students hoping to...

    UTHSCSA Fall 2018

    I waited until I was accepted, but it's not necessary. I did get the student rate. I had an ID from Alamo Colleges, and used

    How do you study for pathophysiology?

    How do you study for pathophysiology?

    ItsThatJenGirl replied to ananana123's topic in General Students

    I went the the looonnnggg review session the Monday before the test, then I used all the worksheets from the rest of the SI sessions to study. I quickly reviewed the diseases, but didn't spend a ton...

    How do you study for pathophysiology?

    ItsThatJenGirl replied to ananana123's topic in General Students

    We're in the same program. That test was really hard and VERY broad, thus hard to study for. Did you go to the SI sessions? I went to the one the Monday before the test, that helped me quite a bit....

    Does your school require badge checks before an exam?

    ItsThatJenGirl replied to misskayy's topic in General Students

    Yes. In my program you download the exam the night before. When you come to class, you have to check in - showing your badge, your laptop with a privacy screen and the downloaded test. You also have...

    Does your motivation ever waver?

    ItsThatJenGirl replied to opalbee's topic in General Students

    I agree with the above - it's all new so you're still in an adjustment period. It might also be that you're going "too" hard - studying too much and wearing yourself out. I tend to study in 20...

    Sorry, I think I took your post too personally. I'm tired.

    Having so much fun!

    ItsThatJenGirl replied to ItsThatJenGirl's topic in General Students

    Even if it was a high C in my program, I'd still be pleased - over half the class failed the exam. It's a B in my program, our grade cut off is 75. That might sound low to some, but there's a lot more...

    UTHSCSA Fall 2018

    ItsThatJenGirl replied to Gloriad13's topic in School, College Programs

    Yes, there are. There was a nursing grant, then an additional grant (I can't remember the name of it). I'm not sure about scholarships - it's all one application that you submit and the rest happens...

    UTHSCSA Fall 2018

    ItsThatJenGirl replied to Gloriad13's topic in School, College Programs

    We did not get a "received application" email, FYI Also, make sure that you've completed your FAFSA - even if you don't plan on applying for grants or loans, you can't turn in a scholarship...

    UTHSCSA Fall 2018

    ItsThatJenGirl replied to Lishay92's topic in School, College Programs

    They will send you the form you need after you get accepted. I just got all my titers drawn, but I'm older and my vaccination records are lost. The only vaccination you won't have time to complete...

    Burned out from trying anymore

    ItsThatJenGirl replied to Beldar_the_Cenobite's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm sorry you didn't do as well as you'd hoped to. Your scores aren't bad though - and the one area you struggled, you still did better than the minimum. It would be short sighted, IMO to quit over...

    UTHSCSA Fall 2018

    ItsThatJenGirl replied to Lishay92's topic in School, College Programs

    A titer is the concentration of an antibody in the blood - meaning you have the ability to mount an immune response to something like the measles if you get exposed to it. It's a blood draw. I'd get...

    ItsThatJenGirl replied to Lishay92's topic in School, College Programs

    You'll find out via email - though mine was in my junk folder. Our deadline was Aug 1, and we found out Sept 8. So, it's about 6 weeks. You can't apply for scholarships through the school until...

    My first clinical day was amazing!! My nurse was so helpful and sweet and I feel lucky to have been assigned to her. I got to give insulin and pass PO meds, along with other super fun stuff. I'm on a...

    UTHSCSA Fall 2018

    ItsThatJenGirl replied to Lishay92's topic in School, College Programs

    I was told they do reduced cost dental work, but I'm not certain about it. You can go to the clinic, but you'll have to use insurance. They do offer counseling for free though, and mental health...
