Texas Tech 2nd degree Accelerated BSN program 2017

[PinkMom]

Is it too early to start one? I couldn't find one. Maybe too early?

I am planning on applying to the TT 2nd degree BSN program in May in hopes to begin in January 2017.

Anyone else?? Anyone in the program currently or recently have any info to share??

Thanks!!

Hi @colleenb.coop! I took my CNA class through CE Global health in Garland. It is about 4-5 weeks and was about $500 + book, which was about $20. They also offer payment plans. They have morning classes and evening classes and they're flexible to work with your schedule.

I am applying for the Dallas cohort and received an interview as well! Best of luck :)

I found a place in Dallas called Advanced Healthcare Career Institute. The guy says it's $400 for everything and they have classes in the morning and the evening Monday-Thursday. I won't be able to register until the end of this month because of summer class I'm currently taking, though. Does anyone have an idea of where to get a medical terminology certificate?

@future.rn.bsn I also just recently discovered that place. I might go with it. I am just finishing up my Medical Terminology course online at McLennan Community College, but it's located in Waco---and the professor requires that you take the mid term and final either at MCC testing center in Waco, or have a proctor at a nearby community college. So it might not be ideal if you don't want to go into a physical campus. BUT---I was going through old emails with TTUHSC (from 2015) and they actually provided a link for a medical terminology course! And it's only $8.50 I think!!! What a steal! Here's the link Medical Terminology & Abbreviations . They say to complete the "E-Learning Modules, 1 Learner / 1 Certificate: Medical Terminology.iBut you might want to contact them and see if this is still a recommendation because again---this was from 2015. =)

I have still not received an email regarding further instruction for the essay?

[future.rn.bsn]

Ckh, I'm guessing the instructions are on the page of the sign up, even though it did say we were going to receive them via email.

[PinkMom, BSN, RN]

That's what I have mine set up like now. I was just waiting to see if any emails came through with more info.

Did you understand it to be a contact number on each page? Or just in the email you're sending the attachment with?

[future.rn.bsn]

I understood it to be contact number on each page. I just have it as part of my header. Also.... 500 words was super difficult. I couldn't say everything I wanted to say!

I didn't get any further email instructions for the essay, either. The ones on the interview invite seemed adequate! See some of you in Round Rock! :)

[future.rn.bsn]

I hate to ask this, but did anyone apply and not get invited for an interview?

Did anyone get a confirmation that their essay/email was received from Ms. Martinez?

Hey guys! That's so exciting that you are receiving interview invitations!! I am currently in the program. Just FYI for those who haven't taken the CNA class, you don't have to take the test and become certified. You only have to take the class...something I didn't know until I was already in and had taken the test. I would probably double check that, but I have several classmates who only took the class.

The interview is very laid back. They want to know a little about you and your personality. I don't remember the exact questions, but they are on several of these forums. They ask about why you want to be a nurse, what your support system looks like, how you manage stress, etc. Personally, I stressed about my outfit. Business suits are a good choice.

Let me know if you have any questions!

[PinkMom, BSN, RN]

Thanks for the information! I was planning a little less than a suit. :/

Which site are you with?
