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.

I have also applied but I am currently taking history and chemistry and I won't be finished with those classes until May but my transcript says it's due 3/15 will this mess up my application

[addiesmomma181]

can anyone recommend scholarships to apply for

Hi there, no. It should not mess up your application. As long as you have submitted the application and required documents by the deadline, the school will recognize that you still have pending work. Your acceptance would be contingent upon completion of your remaining school work, though.

Hi kvillal, I will be retaking HESI the first week of March any advice on how to work on grammar and voc, what should i focus on? I scored really low 76 and I don't understand what else i can practice. If you can give some guidance, I would appreciate it. Thank You

[JJfutureRN]

Hello cewagner92, you did so great in grammar and voc sections i struggled for some reasons, any advice on what I can review or read to try to score better next time around. Thank you for any guidance you can provide thank You

I used this website to study the vocabulary portion. It helped me a lot! Vocabulary Tests Available for "hesi a2"

Hi! Im did not apply for Summer 2018 but was looking at applying for an upcoming application deadline. This might have been answered here previously, but are you able to submit your application before taking the HESI and then have the scores sent or are the scores required in order to submit your application?

Thanks in advance!

Hi there! Yes, I think your application can be submitted before your HESI scores are sent; however, you'll need to complete the HESI scores and have them submitted by the deadline. Hope that helps!

Hey there!

Do you have the HESI study guide that Elsevier puts out? If not, I really recommend that as a guide. It has a lot of questions in the same format as the test and it definitely helps with at least knowing what types of questions will be presented. The vocab section is pretty extensive and not all the words on the test are included but it is a good starting point. Also, doing the available tests online (Like tacor suggested) really helps as well.

When do yall think we will hear anything? I have read that there are generally less applicants for the summer so hopefully that means less competitive.
