Just be calm...

Me too!! Congrats!

Not yet ? im so anxious to hear back!

I work for Methodist. I like the system as a whole. The patient ratios are usually more reasonable but the pay is less. Baptist and St Francis pay more, but the ratios are crazy high.

Every city has its good and bad. I grew up around the Nashville area, but I honestly love Memphis more. Both are good cities. If you do decide on Memphis, I can offer advice on some areas you might feel comfortable living.

Yep, I'm already in TN. I went to UTHSC for my BSN so I really hope I get in. It would be nice to go to a school I'm familiar with. I'm beyond nervous. I think my interview went well but they said they are only accepting 25 students ? good luck to you!! Are you outside of TN?

Not yet. I know at the end of my interview they told me when they would let us know, but I was so nervous that I forgot what date they said! Hopefully soon!

Yes, I had two faculty members.

It was very laid back. I feel like it went well, but I'm nervous because they said they will only accept 25 students. I hope they call you for an interview! Good luck!!

Hi everyone. I made this post to connect with others that might be applying to the FNP program at UTHSC. I have my interview today and I am excited/ nervous.

Multiple people interviewed me. They asked what made me want to pursue nursing, what motivates me, what my strengths and weaknesses are. I can't remember what else. So far I am enjoying the program. The semesters are broken into 10 week blocks. The first 10 weeks for the first semester were very test heavy and there was a lot of material to learn. During the second 10 weeks, we started clinicals. I just started the second semester on 1/2 so we'll see how this semester goes.

I applied for the Accelerated program too and was offered a spot on the wait-list. I decided to accept at UTHSC instead of hoping that I would be high enough on LCON's wait-list because I really want to start in the Fall. My science GPA is a 4.0 and my overall GPA is 3.16 (goofed around a bit during my first degree:/)

If you already have a Bachelor's degree in another field, UTHSC will waive the TEAS requirement. I was so happy not to have to take it. So I would definitely encourage you guys to apply at UTHSC if you can. It's unfortunate that LCON is taking so long. I was trying to wait to hear back from them before accepting UTHSC, but I didn't want to get to close to the deadline.

I've heard that they are short staffed now so it took them some time to review all of the applications. Another applicant called them and was told that they will send letters by the end of the month. I was also accepted to UTHSC and the deadline to let them know my decision is March 31. I was trying to wait to hear back from LCON before deciding but I didn't want to miss an opportunity so I accepted UTHSC today.

Hi everyone! I checked to see if there was a Facebook group and I didn't see one for us. I'll make one and call it UTHSC Nursing - Class of Fall 2018. I'll let you guys know when it's ready and see if I can share the link here. I can help give advice on housing if you have any questions. I have lived all over Memphis since I moved here so I'm pretty familiar with the livability and price range of different areas. I'm looking forward to meeting everyone!! ***Updated to add group link*** Log into Facebook | Facebook Email me at [email protected] if you have any issues.
