University of Houston Victoria Second Nursing Degree

kmbrlyw · Sep 10, 2010

I bought the TEAS study guide. I thought the Math and English parts were pretty easy. As well as the Reading part. But, the Science is what I did the worst on. It has been a long time since I have had to use my sciences. I got my first degree 15 years ago! So, I used the study guide to help me with a "brush up" on all my science. I would say it is pretty evenly distributed: Biology, A&P, Chemistry, etc.

Good luck!

Hi Yoli79,

For the TEAS exam if you have the TEAS V study guide it will help alot! It's basically the same format as the exams as well. I didn't study at all (took the TEAS V) for Texas Women's and scored higher then average. But I'm scheduled to take the TEAS V for UHV on the 21st. Study alot of general science and also chemistry.

As for the Nursing CAS - it's really confusing! I have one more transcript to turn into them and will be mailing my cpr and immunizations next week too. I actually had to get blood work done today to show proof that I'm immune to chicken pox! I couldn't find it in my medical records since it was so long ago.

Good lucK!

Jeanster,

Do you have any info on the program from anyone? How hard it is....how much time they are spending studying....I have had a REALLY hard time trying to get first hand accounts of the nursing students' experience in the program...

Nope...i have no clue. Never got a response from previous students unfortunately.

I have a question about the Nursing CAS. Do I have to wait to see my transcripts appear before submitting the main application?

I didn't. I submitted and then kept checking to make sure they had received the transcripts. It took like 2-3 weeks before they showed and were evaluated. I was then told once you submit, sent all subsequent info directly to admissions ofc at Victoria. One of the advisors told me to fax. I sent my CPR via fax yesterday and had my last transcript from some summer classes at Lone Star sent directly there. I just have to fax my immunization records and I should be done.

I'm also applying to UH-Victoria. The only things I have left to do is finish my immunizations (flu shot, varicella titer, Td) and submit my CPR card.

I'm also applying for Spring 2011 BACC 2 program. I haven't heard anything from the school. I have everything completed and now I am waiting. Let me know if anyone gets an interview!!!

Did any of you guys get a varicella titer for under $100? If so, where did you go? I don't have health insurance, so I'm looking around, and they're very expensive! If I don't find anything cheaper, I'll just have to suck it up and pay the cost.

Did you check the health departments in your city?

Did you check the health departments in your city?

Yeah, and it seems they offer it for the least cost at $106. Oh well. Gotta do what you gotta do. Good luck everyone!

Wouldn't it just be cheaper to get the vaccine? It is only $20 at the health dept...

If any of y'all went to high school in texas then you could probably go to your old high school and ask for a copy of your immunization record for free. Colleges in Texas will count it as official documentation.
