I am preparing myself to apply for Summer 2018 pacesetter BSN program. We can use this forum for Summer 2018 applicants. I am in the process of taking Hesi exam. I have completed all my prerequisite courses needed for the program.
Little bit about me:
BS in Microbiology in 2005 -GPA (3.05)
MPH degree in Epidemiology in 2012-GPA (3.85)
Associate degree of Science in 2017-GPA (4.0)
Hesi test-will be taking it in August
Working full time with City Health department as an epidemiologist specialist since last five years. I am also a mom of two boys.
Got accepted to MUSC college of nursing program but declined it. Also got accepted to Johns Hopkins Entry into Masters of nursing program for Fall 2017 but had to deffer it to Fall 2018 due to financial circumstances.
Trying to apply for the in-state school due to affordable tuition as well as easy commute.
I really hope i can get into UT Health Science center pacesetter program as it's my first option as it's closest to me as well as it's affordable and one of the best programs in Texas.
I worked full time during LVN school and it was very difficult. Since this is just as fast paced as LVN school, I would not recommend working full time. Part-time could be doable though.
So my mom had my transcript evaluation the whole time.. and she just now told me. It says there are some classes that weren't accepted, but those are the classes I am taking right now so I'm thinking it's okay as long as I give them my final transcript assuming I get an acceptance letter. Right?
I would assume so since they are in progress. As long as everything was accepted you should be good.
I worked part time during LVN school at a bar so it wasn't too bad. I don't think I will be working if I get accepted because I want to focus on school not work. I currently work fulltime as a nursing supervisor at a doctors office so I will definitely not be able to even work part time at the office due to the hours

Agreed, those hours make it virtually impossible to work at all. Fast paced programs are difficult and require a lot of attention.
I currently work full time as a pharmacy tech at a hospital. I've akeasdy talked to my boss about cutting down hours when I get accepted. I gonna do PRN first and see how it goes. If I feel I can do more then I'll go up to part time. She's on board either way.

Yeah I plan on working PRN as well. I work as a full-time tech at the St.Lukes The woodlands hospital and PRN at Conroe Regional. Will have to quit one and keep one. Hope medical experience counts lol. Hoping we know sometime this week or next.
I know on their website they state they look at more than just grades, they look at work experience too. A nurse that used to work at my office just finished the program this summer and stated the same that work experience helps acceptance.

Great to know! I have 4 years of experience as a pharmacy technician.
That is great to know. So many times you hear that it doesn't matter if you're an LVN or have healthcare experience. When you fill out the app one of the first questions is "are you an LVN?" Why ask if it doesn't help? I think there are just some things they don't want us to know about their selection process.

Exactly. Not sure though. I guess we'll just have to wait and see:)
