Spring 2011 UT Health Sciences Nursing Hopefuls

Published

I am a UT Houston hopeful applying for the traditional and accelerated nursing program. I will complete my science prereqs (A&P 1/2) in the summer. I will finish up with Micro and Chem in the fall. I am so focused right now. Anyone else out there? :)

I signed up for the 29th too! You can't beat free, see you guys there!

I did my background check last week but the hold still has not been removed. I know the report has been completed because I got a copy of it. Anyone else having this problem?

Does anyone know the best place to find quality scrubs in Houston? Or to look at all the selections out there, do we have to buy them online? It's hard to tell online what they feel and will look like on! Are we allowed to wear Dansko clogs-white ones of course?

And also, when do you think we register and our first payment is due? I know the first payment will be 2-3 K, so I need to budget for it....or really find out where I'm going to get it from!!!

There are Scrubs and Beyond or Uniform World (I know this one is in Dallas, I do not know about Houston). These places with have a bunch of brands, which is your best bet --- some styles may fit others better (obviously) so it is nice to try a bunch on! Some even carry shoes and the white jackets, but I do not specifics about those!

I'm sure there are other places as well, but this is what I have used in the past. My personal favorite scrubs are Urbane and Greys.

Thank you for the information on scrubs! We probably have some time on getting them, but it's like someone posted earlier...it's like getting school supplies....it's fun getting something new! I suppose we probably won't need them until late February or March.

When will we be able to register for classes? Will we register through utlink or is there a student services account? Does anyone know if they will provide this info in our admission packet? Which I still haven't received in the mail, btw

Congratulations to everyone who got in.

UT SON website mentions 8 components of HESIA2. Does that mean I skip chemistry and physicswhile taking the test? Also where can I get some help to find out what type questions they ask in critical thinking, personality, and learning style components of the test.

Thank you

You skip the chemistry and biology sections...there is no physics. As for personality and learning styles...that's all about you and how you handle things. Only you can answer those because it's based on your personality. As for critical thinking, I don't really know of any way to study that. It's based on logic. What would you do first? Remember that the patient bleeding is more important than the patient who needs to go to the bathroom. I suppose you could study the nclex for exiting nurses...but that would be going overboard. The whole test is rather easy, except for a and p. If you study the guide for all the other parts, you will be just fine. And for a and p...review, review, and review your old book or get the a and p cliff notes. That's what I did!

from what I can tell, you register through your UTlink and we can only do this once all of our holds come off. But that is just how I understand it.

But that's only priority registration. Meaning we need to have some sort of reason as to why we need to register early, right?
