University of Houston 2nd Degree BSN Spring 2019

Published

Hello everyone, I'm not sure if anyone has made a thread for the Spring 2019 cycle application but here's the thread. A little information about me i graduated at the University of Houston Spring 2017 with a bachelors in psychology and minor in psychology. I'm seeking to get a second bachelors degree in nursing. This program is very rigorous and competitive so im nervous about getting in. I'm taking my TEAS by the end of June. Good luck to everyone!

Please leave any comments,concerns or any information so we can bond together. :)

Hello guys!

I just wanted to drop in and to let you know I just received a invitation to the interview on Sept 21 but I will not be able to attend due to the fact that I am already in TWU Houston's nursing program and plan on staying there lol. I just wanted to update you guys on that since it's getting tense now, but be relieved to know there is at least ONE more spot open for one of you!

Good luck and best wishes!

I hope there is a method, as far as: they decided to go home early and send the rest tomorrow?

Yeah it's safe to say they've gone home now and we can keep our hopes on tomorrow! Keep faith!

You should reach out to them and state that you're unable to make it for the above stated reason.

Oh I already did that as soon as I received the email! BTW the deadline for someone to confirm/deny is Sept 17 at 5pm.

Good luck!

I just spoke with the program coordinator and she said the admission committee just got together on Monday and they are sending out ,both, invitations and rejections. She said it could possibly take all week for them to reach out to every applicant.

Has anyone completed Step 2? What is the declaratory order to Texas board of nursing

Howdy,

I hope everyone is in the best of health and happiness. I've been following this thread for weeks and sitting on the sidelines watching the intensity grow. In the past several days that intensity was elevated to such an extent that I was contemplating on whether to comment or not. When I received my email for an interview last night I decided to create an account and post. As another future fellow classmate pointed out, it is a blessing to have the internet bring us all together throughout this experience and allow us the opportunity to share wisdom and knowledge and even hold "virtual" hands as the quest for admission unfolds.

Step 2, if I understood it correctly is only required of you if you feel you're ineligible due to criminal misconduct, mental illness, chemical dependency (addicted to some drug/substance), etc.

If you want a feel for what to expect during the year-long program and interview, go to YouTube and search Second degree BSN Blessy Oommen. After you watch that video there will be another video on the page called 2nd degree BSN interview by a user called Nursing UH, I found the information in both these videos to be extremely informative as I am a father and had no idea there were mothers with multiple children going through with this rigorous 12 month program.

Congrats on your invitation! And thanks for helping out with Step 2 so I'm assuming we just skip it if it doesn't pertain to us.

TY and no problem :) , I went from Step 1 to Step 3.
