Provisional acceptance - previous credits not evaluated yet

Published

Specializes in hospice.

I've been provisionally accepted to UTA's RN-BSN program. I have requested final transcripts from all other course work and degrees. They haven't evaluated my previous coursework yet, so I am not certain what classes I will be required to take. I registered for NURS 3645 for next term because it is one of the classes that students are allowed to take before final review of credits. I have questions about everything else and I keep being told "We have to review your credits first." I was hoping that current or past students could answer some of them for me.

Can I double up statistics or US history with NURS 3645? Does every student have to take Texas history? Would a history class on a slightly different topic count? If I used to be a professional technical writer are they still going to make me take technical writing? Are there any pre-reqs that can be dispatched with CLEP?

It's difficult to plan when so many questions loom, eh?

Hopefully some members with insight will post soon and help answer some of your questions.

Thank you for your patience. :)

Hope some form this program stops by to answer your questions. Texas education standards requires Texas History course.

I was provisionally accepted earlier this year, and UTA did not finish reviewing my transcripts until sometime during the last half of NURS 3645 (intro course). Once I completed that intro nursing course I was granted full acceptance. What makes you think you need to take Texas history? I think you may need to take Texas government, but I think the history requirement is 6 hours of American History.

This is what worries me. I saw a degree plan that included specific classes, not 6 credits in this area, 6 credits in that area, etc. I have tons of humanities credits but I'm not sure they will transfer. I have history credits but I don't know if they will Transfer. I have writing credits but I don't know if they will transfer. I have a Bachelors degree in another discipline. I am worried that because I did not take the specific classes in the published degree plan, I'm going to end up having to take a bunch of extra credits at UTA, what I consider filler credits. I'm willing to take Texas government even though I don't live in Texas because I find it kind of fascinating. I don't feel the need to take American history. I live that every day. I took European history in my earlier degree because I wanted to be a more rounded person.

I don't want to take a ton of classes on top of the nursing classes to get my degree. A few, yes, but not a ton. I'm starting to think I should have a second choice school waiting in the wings.
