Hey everyone! Haven't seen a forum for UTA BSN Spring '23 so decided to create one, not sure if this will reach anyone but feel free to ask questions, share stats and chat about finding out if we get accepted

Time is getting closer and closer ?

Hi, can someone who’s a current student or who applied explain to be how these prenursing classes work?

 

My brain and anxiety is wracked trying to figure UTA out..cost and program set up, it’s my top school.

 

BUT those 3 nursing classes that ONLY UTA requires without an acceptance is making me sad and pump the brakes on it being my top.

So I need to take path, pharm AND intro to nursing all at UTA and could get denied?  Now if they were a pre start type….acceptance in hand and take these classes before you start I’m 100000% for it. 
 

This is my interpretation of how those three work….take em but you could be a denial and there goes time and money that is ONLY for this one school. Micro is everyone…Chemistry is everyone…nutrition is everyone.

I’m just not sure how I feel about the logistics of this. I’m a career and teacher so UTA and most are already having me going to drop/abandon a classroom full of kindergartners mid year with these fall acceptances vs Summer and I’m still working towards accepting that that is what I will most likely have to do 

Hi! So for those 3 classes you really only need to take intro to nursing before applying to the upper division as for patho and pharm they just need to be completed before the start date of the program if you get accepted. 
the cool thing about taking those classes before you actually send in your application is it gives you priority over people who have not completed those classes by application deadline. 
 

I just got accepted and personally didn’t think I was going to but I have priority from completing patho and pharm and that’s what got me in I believe :) 

so even though it is a hassle it’s worth it

Thank you SO much for responding. I’ve spoken to 3 people in admissions and 2 basically said “the nursing committee won’t even look at your  application without those 3 classes completed”

How do they look at those outside of UTA?  They can have a kidney and continually blood donating and alllll my money once I get in but I know I can take path and pharm through community colleges and Portage Learning. I’m so unsettled about taking any classes through a university I’m wanting to apply to outside of an acceptance. If I were a teen/20 something undergrad and already enrolled getting a bachelors the first time around I’d be willing to roll the dice. Career change 30s not so much

Really it just depends on how you want to do it, a lot of people take their prereqs at UTA because you would get extra considerations towards your application, the way that works is they add together your overall GPA and your science GPA, if you have extra points that goes towards your overall ranking as well with the maximum of 10.00 points  

-30+ credits at UTA is an extra .50 points 

- 3/4 science classes taken at UTA (micro, chem, A&P 1/2)  is an extra .50 points, 

- as well as having a previous bachelors and military 

as for patho and pharm you could take them at a community college but I’m not sure if it would still count as priority you would have to double check with an advisor, and also make sure UTA will accept the transfer credit because they only accept from certain schools.

I somewhat understand the point thing. I asked for a write up about it and they said there isn’t one so it seems whatever they want it to be. I have a bachelors and a masters so I don’t know concretely since they don’t have that what points that is but one of the advisors said having the masters is a good leg up for me.

I am trying to decide what electives to take at UTA for the online RN to BSN program. I am looking at two that I can take together, they will be my last two classes prior to my capstone. Any suggestions?

Hi! I am currently taking classes and figuring out what to take next. I am doing the RN-BSN-MSN program. I am thinking about research, but I have seen so many negative comments on the class and the professor that it is concerning! ? 

Advise or comments on Nursing Research 4325 ! Thanks!!
