Summer 2018- UT Health Science center pacesetter BSN program

[Ambition20]

Hello Everyone,

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.

Praying today is the day. I woke up with butterflies in my stomach. So nervous.

Welp. Mine still says "Application Under Review"... Waiting is almost as bad as calculating molar volume. Almost.

I believe today is the day! From what I have seen, the first wave goes out in the evening, like around 5pm.

Today is going to be a LONG day

While I hope to get into school, I've also been mentally preparing for the "What-if" of not getting in. I have all these pre-reqs that are totally geared toward nursing but...what else can we do with them? PT school? PA school? Anyone have any good suggestions?

I'm with you on that. I don't know what I'll do if I don't get in. I can't keep waiting to get accepted into nursing school.

They complete your Associates of Science for the most part. If I don't get in I will be applying and have applied for ADN programs and then bridge to my BSN later.

PA school is ridiculously competitive. I would rather go BSN and then NP.

You are exactly right!

Really hoping today is the day! Praying we receive good news. I was thinking of applying for ADN at Lonestar but that's a 2 year program and then I would still need to go back to school for my BSN for another year. So I'm stuck on what to do if I'm not accepted. Again I'm truly truly hoping I'm accepted! I'm currently a teacher(non certified) so I may stick with that.
