Texas Tech Traditional BSN 2013

Published

Hello Guys!!I just wanted to create a new thread for the 2013 Texas tech BSN program! I will be applying this December (El Paso) campus. Is anyone else?

I am so excited and hopefully in the near future I can meet you all!

I am so nervous....but I am sure most of you all are feeling the same.

Best of luck!!

Does anyone know what the weekly schedule is like? how many days are we doing lecture and clinical?

During the first year, your schedule is pretty chaotic, or at least it was when I started 2 years ago. Monday you have class during the morning through mid afternoon. Tuesday you would spend the first half of the day in clinical/simulation and the second half in a classroom setting. Or visa verse, depending on your group. Wednesday was afternoon classes and Thursday and Friday alternated clinical and simulation. It's very time consuming for the entire first year in the program. The schedules are very different for everyone (between various groups, clinical sites, and coursework) so it's difficult to say how your schedule might look. When I first started, I looked at my schedule on raiderlink and thought, "wow! Class only 3 times a week. No big deal." But the raiderlink schedule doesn't account for clinical time. You will get a specific schedule on the first day of class. Your entire week is jam packed with nursing stuff. My best advice is to get a planner, and carry it with you everywhere. You won't be able to function without it. Hopefully that gives you an idea of what it's like. Good luck!

Thank you so much for the info! I have kids in school and was wondering what we were looking at. The planner is a great idea! if you have anymore advice for us, I know we would all love it!

Is anyone following this thread or know of anyone that is still waiting to hear anything? I still haven't received an email regarding an acceptance, denial or wait listing. Just checking to see if anyone is in the same boat as me! Thanks!

@lwood09 I haven't heard anything at all either and me reading these posts is just giving me anxiety. I've emailed them twice in the past week and all they've said is that my application is still under review by the committee which it being the last day of April, I think that's bull.
