Texas Tech Accelerated BSN Program Spring 2017

Hello everyone! I currently submitted my application for my bachelor's in Nursing at Texas Tech in El Paso. I have a 4.0 GPA in my sciences, I got a 75 on my HESI, and I have no experience on medical field other than me having my CNA and my clinicals. It's really hard to get a job as CNA or volunteer hours in El Paso, in my opinion. I decided to post on here since there's not a post for Texas Tech BSN Spring 2017. Hopefully we can all let each other know when we get contacted for interviews and if we get accepted into the program and become friends:) Goodluck everyone!

Hey everyone! I just got my acceptance email, but I haven't gotten any info about getting finger printed! Have any of you?

Hey guys I also got my acceptance email! Super excited to meet everyone!! But I have not got the blue card yet either for finger printing

CONGRATS TO WHOMEVER GOT ACCEPTED!! I also did, but I have no received any info about finger printing.

:( I am waiting to see if I got into NMSU also, so I can figure out which school I am going to, I am having trouble deciding between a traditional program vs. accelerated.

Any advice?

Congratulations!!! I'm so happy for you all!!!:)

I didn't get in :cry: & I did take the entire weekend to cry it out & accept it.

I genuinely wish you all the best!! :nurse:

If you are ready to graduate quickly and do not really care for breaks between semesters, I would go with the accelerated BSN option. However, from my understanding, non accelerated gives you a little more time to breath and gives you longer breaks, which is nice too. It really just depends what you prefer!

Hey Cynthia, I just wanted to reach out to you and let you know I wasnt accepted either.

I was really upset first but then I realized that this doesnt mean I wont make a great nurse one day.

It just means that this program wasnt a fit for ya :)

Keep trying. Im going to keep applying to nursing school, whether its texas tech or not, because nursing is where my heart is.

Cynthia.cowboys1 & Breytiful, I just want to say to never give up on your dreams! Everything happens for a reason and better things are coming your way! You guys will be amazing nurses one day!!

Breytiful,

Thank you! I'm not giving up either. I met with Gretchen on Tuesday and she told me why I wasn't accepted. There's one thing I need to work on and hopefully I can get in next time. I also applied at Utep, I'm still waiting to hear from them.

I saw on some other posts that people made a Facebook group with their specific campus to keep everyone updated on when they received got important information so no one forgets anything! Is that something y'all would want to do? If so does anyone know how to do it? Just a thought :)

Sounds like a good idea :)

Does anyone know how to do it?
