Texas Tech 2nd degree accelerated BSN 2018

Published

Is it too early to start this thread? I couldn't find another one.

I am planning on applying to the TT 2nd degree BSN program in May in hopes to begin in January 2018.

Anyone else?? Anyone in the program currently or recently have any info to share?? Which location is everyone applying?

Thanks!!

By the way, I was told by the interviewers that there are 15 slots for Dallas cohort out of 55 applicants.

Yeah, they told me "there are only fifteen spots for many, many applicants" for Dallas... it's interesting to hear what "many, many" meant... í ½í¸©

How was your first semester schedule like? Like how often did you have to go to campus and when did clinicals start for you? Also, how many people are in your cohort?

Hey! I replied earlier and I have no idea where that reply went--so sorry if I am repeating myself somewhere on here. But to answer your question (again ha), 1st semester schedule was much more manageable than summer semester. We started clinicals in mid-end of February. In January you will feel like you are going to "campus" a lot because Basic Skills class is about 2 weeks of learning all the skills. After that, we would meet together to take a proctored test at least once a week or every other. And we would be doing clinicals 2 times a week, sometimes once.

Glad to hear they have 15 spots this year for Dallas! When I entered there were 11 of us here in Dallas. Good job on interviews, people! Excited for the journey you guys are about to embark on!

One of the interviewers told me 4 out of 11 quited the program by the end of the first two months. It is pretty demanding.

Wow, no wonder my interviewers kept on stressing how demanding the program is. They didn't mention the dropout rate. I wonder how many drop out in total of all the locations.

How does everyone feel about the interviews so far? I was feeling down & thinking that them telling me how few spots there were was their way of "letting me down easy," but it looks like we've all been told the same thing... that's reassuring (in a way). :-)

I feel so so about mines. They really touched on how I have minimal healthcare experience.

Don't stress about that- I think many of us are in the same boat there.

Yeah, I have to remind myself not to stress out and just be patient. í ½í¸…

I feel okay but it's a big advantage to know the questions beforehand. Which I didn't, so some of them gave me pause. But it's nice to hear other people had the interviewers tell them about the saturation of the Dallas program- I thought they were letting me down easy too, ambernsmalls.

Right? When I left I was feeling so defeated... It's all out of our hands now, though. The waiting game is the worst part.
