Texas Tech BSN 2 Fall 2013

Published

I am applying for Texas Tech's Accelerated BSN program. So I wanted to start a thread for all Fall2013 hopefuls. I think I am going to apply to both Austin and the other location that is not El Paso(I can't think of the name)

I got my registration email and classes. I have gone ahead and registered for the 21 hrs, I believe it is. Now I just have to look into getting the books. I also need to purchase the app that we need, but was going to do it after I got a new phone.

Hope everyone is getting everything resolved before school starts.

My apt is not going to be ready by the Abilene August 16 orientation. Is anyone wanting to share a room for the night of the 15th? Please let me know...

Hi bibi321. You won't have any trouble. You already have one degree, and that says a lot about commitment to finish something. I think that's one of the reasons they created a fast paced program like this. All of the students have proven themselves already. It is very intense, but you'll find the atmosphere to be much more collegial than your first college experience. They operate the program sort of like grad school, and you're treated like an adult.

The best advice I could give you is to get a good appointment book/calendar and stay organized. The assignments will be coming from every direction so you'll need to stay on top of things. The volume of reading material is almost unmanageable, so you have to prioritize and scrutinize what material is the most important. The technical knowledge will come to you with no problem, it's the thought process that will be challenging. Testing will be odd to you, and in the beginning everyone will complain loudly about the questions and the way they are worded. But the goal is to make you think like a nurse. It sounds strange but you'll see what I mean soon enough. Good luck to ya.

Thanks so much for the advice. Really appreciate it. Do you have any textbook you'll like to sell.

Where will you be living in Abilene? I just moved into my apartment at Parkridge place. The city is not bad so far.

I've been in Abilene for about a week, I'm in a 2br apt 900sq ft for $400/m about 400 yards from Hendricks and the TTU campus. Been happy this far with the area and city.

Whao $400 must be nice. Mine is $739 but its a town house though.

Already sold them all to online sites about a week ago. Sorry. But, I also used a lot of digital books. I like the ones that are on Pageburst (Evolve, Elsevier), but had bad experiences with other digital offerings. Most of the students dropped their uniforms off at the school today during the final comprehensive exam, and they'll offer those to you. That'll save a few bucks. You're going to work hard, meet some brilliant people, and ultimately be very proud of your choice. It goes by very, very fast. Wreck 'em!

Got the majority of the books on amazon for $350, I did not get any of the non required ones.
