The University of Texas at El Paso (UTEP) vs The University of Texas at Tyler (UT Tyler) PMHNP programs?

Updated:   Published

Just got my acceptance email from UT Tyler and have a interview with UTEP next week for the Spring 2023 semester. I would appreciate input from anyone that has experience with either of these programs. Thanks

I actually just got accepted to the program for Summer 2024. I can't believe it! I would love to connect with students so that we can work our hardest and smartest to make this program the best preparation for our future.

Hi OU ATX, I to am accepted to program in Summer 2024. Love to connect.

Glad the first semester went seamlessly for you. Would greatly appreciate  any other advice for someone starting this fall. Thanks in advance.

The assigned reading was always too much for me. I can't read hundreds of pages of textbooks. I pulled the majority of my information from the PowerPoints and then would look back at any reading I thought I needed more clarification on, specifically what was listed on exam blueprints.

The further into to this program I have gotten, the more disappointing it has been. Recycled lectures and instructors that don't seem to know what content is actually being covered in them. Then the whole having to find your own preceptor has been a major pain in the *** as well.

You get what you pay for. This is an affordable program, and ultimately it will give me what I need to take the exam for my license. 

Not trying to rain on anyone's parade, just hoping to manage expectations a little. This is probably how a lot of these programs are. Ultimately it is up to you to do the learning necessary to be successful. Good luck.
