TAMUCC eline role call

Published

I was wondering who all got accepted or is in the TAMUCC eline program this semester. It is nice to have someone to talk and ask questions about the program. I start Jan. 10th, YEAH.

Specializes in Pediatric, Nursery, Postpartum.

So far, so good. Those that I know of are employed and most had offers prior to finishing their course work.

That's very encouraging. I've contacted the program officer. I hope that clinicals can be set up in Houston.

And if that does not work out, there are clinical sites in the Bryan/College Station area. That is where I do my clinicals.

Good Luck to you.

I want to meet people that have done the eline TAMUCC, to ask questions.

Can you work full time and do the BSN program? How long did it take you?

What about work and family...can you still keep up with the program?

If you need help how difficult is it to get help online?

How are clinicals? If someone that is in it or has just graduated can let me know I would greatly appreciate it.

Hi, Verano05,

Ok, I am a current eliner. I started in the fall of 2007 I am now in level III. There are 4 levels. The first level is more book work and assignments and takes a long time to complete ( i believe the avg. time to complete the first level is about 1 yr) The other levels are more clinicals and go by a bit faster. As for having a family and a job and a life outside of school, it can be done. I have a 3 yr old, and a husband and a part time job. Self-motivation is a huge part of this program because there are no "deadlines" for anything, everything is self-paced. The great thing about this program is that you can work around your life to meet the demands of school. Don't get disappointed when you don't finish things as fast as you had anticipated. That happened to me many times before, but you can't beat stilll having a life and obtaining a BSN concurrently. Also clinicals are set up for you to complete at your own pace (ex. if you can only do 1 day a wk, or if you can do 3 days a wk) it is all up to you. So congratulations on your acceptance and hope to see you in chat soon.

Hi Erica

I just wanted to say a huge thank you!! I have applied for a Summer start and I have been so curious about how this program works. I hope to find out something by March, its so hard waiting! And I have been nervous about jumping right into clinicals, just worried that without someone standing there telling me if I was doing it right or not. Maybe after 1 year of coursework I will feel better about it. I'm in Austin, are there any fellow Eliners in Austin? Oh, and I am taking the Health Alterations class online with ******* right now, its going really well. Its really not hard, and I am learning so much from it. Have a great day and thanks again Erica!!

thank you Erica Coleman. I am just too scared about the online...I feel like I will be left alone and no one there to help me. This is why I was also aking about the help support. So you are done in one more semmester? You are so lucky!

Best of luck to you.

Hi, Im curious about applying to this program and wondering if they would accept transfer nursing students. I failed a clinical at my current semester and want to transfer to the online program.

I believe they do. You need to apply and have the minimum requirements (3.0 gpa, core classes completed, immunizations up to date...there's more just can't think of them right now). Call TAMUCC College of Nursing and ask to speak with **** *******, she is the advisor for the e-line program and she will give you more information regarding the program and what you need to get in. Hope this helps, let me know how it goes.
