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.
If classes start in May, thats not enough time for people to get everything ready. I'll be moving from San Marcos back to Houston and still have finals and all... wow
They will def notify before then. This week or next for sure. April is the latest they notify, likely the wait listed people. I am going to get all my titers drawn for immunizations that way it is already done. One less thing to do.
I'm so excited to meet everyone! I'm hoping we will hear back this week! They can't notify us too late, we need to do so much before starting class! Maybe tomorrow?? I just want to know already!
Where are you getting your titers from!?? I wanna get that started ASAP.
I will likely got to my primary care physician or one of those little clinics like in Walgreens, CVS, HEB etc...they all can check and give you any vaccine you need.
Do you happen to know off the top of your head when/if they expire?
I know TB & flu shot is 1 year (if anyone is like me and allergic to the TB test they accept the blood draw) and I know CPR is 2 years.
I would say within the year for titer checks, just because levels can change. I have/had everything because I already work in healthcare but I have to check my levels to see if I may need any boosters. Some schools require a TB test twice a year.
I stopped checking the portal, I haven't checked since Monday. I'm just checking my email for the first person to say on here that they've been accepted!
