Texas Tech-Accelerated BSN Spring 2020

Nursing Students School Programs

Published

I haven't seen a thread for those of us applying May 1st to the January 2020 cohort. I'm wondering how heavily they weigh the TEAS. Also, I have heard as long as you meet all criteria they typically give you an interview. Has anyone else heard this? I really like how they take a holistic approach to grant admissions. I'm wanting to apply to UTA but I feel like the main way you get extra points is by attending school there which I did not do! We'll see!

Healthcare administration:)

I had mine onsite in Abilene today too! I was prepared for so many questions they may ask me and they asked me only like 7. So I was caught off guard when it ended but I also asked quite a few questions at the end so I think my entire interview was a little over 20 minutes. I think the current nursing students helped me a ton though. I feel like I know more-so what to expect! The best I can I guess. It's going to be so intense! I'm dying to know!

I asked when they would decide! Am I the only one?

I only asked questions that I couldn't find answers to. I ended up only having 2 questions both were answered. I thought there was a TON information on the websites but mostly the paper the next steps paper that was sent with the "virtual folder" was really helpful.

What did they say? I asked questions like what do your students struggle most with in the program, how do you make yourselves available for students and I also asked what most contributes to the student’s high NCLEX pass rate. So a lot of opinion type of questions.

I’m so happy y’all enjoyed Abilene! I think it’s one of the best campuses, and definitely has one of the best sim labs of all the campuses. And the instructors are AWESOME! I loved being at the Abilene campus. Several people from Dallas also moved and we’re glad they did b/c they had fewer distractions in Abilene vs DFW. (Just a thought.)

the waiting game game is almost over! And then the hard part begins. ?

I asked what advice would they give to new nursing students based on their experience? and I also asked what I could do to be prepared for the start of the program if I was lucky to be accepted.

Where did you interview? I also felt like I blacked out lol and I know for sure they were able to tell I was a nervous wreck? I hope some of my answers made sense ?
