It is finally my time to post to this forum! EXCITING!!! I did not see a thread for Fall 2020 and I might be SUUUUPER early but man that nursing application process takes proper a year doesn't it?
I am done with all my general courses and TEAS except for nursing chem, one elective (health and human disease), Patho, Pharm, and Intro to Nursing. I plan to take CHEM 1451 and HEED 4312 in the Fall 19 semester, apply in January, and then while waiting on that, take Patho and Intro to Nursing in Spring 2020 and Pharm by itself in Summer 2020.
I have an A in Micro, A&P 1, and A&P 2. This has been a LOOOONG journey and I cannot wait to start!
Do you know what it has by any chance? Thats good to know maybe they have a description of what it is on their website.
I don't know the specific items but based on what people are selling on the facebook groups it looks like items that you'll typically see in the stock room on the floor. gowns, gauze, etc just to use for practice I guess. I'm waiting until the official J1 booklist comes out before buying any of that stuff just in case they change something.
What days are clinicals on? Are you able to work during the program? I am trying to weigh all my options for nursing programs.
For online, they say clinicals are either Saturday and Sunday's or Monday and Tuesday's depending on your clinical site. They recommend working only part-time or not working at all, but I'm sure that depends on one's own time management skills.
Applications were due by Jan 15. Got my acceptance email March 6th.
Thank you very much. another question, do you know the average points for the accepted students? my points will be 8.33 and I'm very worried. I'm applying for the spring2021

No problem. I think that's a great score! Mine was only a tad higher at 8.5 but anything over an 8 is competitive, I’ve heard... Are you partnered at all? I wasn't, so I was worried! But it also depends where you live is what my advisor told me. I live in fort worth and my advisor was confident I'd get accepted based on that and my score.

I'm in Houston, not partnered, but they told me the partnered had their own pool of selection. I choose two clinical sites, Houston and the college station. Thank you again. I wish I could get acceptance.

Being partnered does not put you in a separate pool. It gives you an advantage over someone that is not partnered.
I have a quick question for you guys. I applied for the Fall 2020 AOBSN at UTA and was wait listed. I very much doubt I will be called off the wait list as I am hearing some people with points of 8 and high got wait listed. I am more in the 7.4 (ish) range if I remember correctly. So I am planning on taking Patho, Pharm and the clinical nursing class at UTA before reapplying for the Spring 2021 term. My question is would you guys recommend I split Patho and Pharm up? I was thinking taking Pharm and clinical nursing Summer 2020 then Patho in Fall 2020. One reason is I am paying out of pocket and during COVID times it would be easier for me to come up with $2K needed vs $3K. The other one being I hear you have to make a B or higher if you get a C you will get placed on probation. Since I plan on working while taking this classes figure why stress split them up, work on getting those coveted B or higher grades, and reapply in Spring 2021. What are your guys thoughts on this strategy? Any guidance would be much appreciated.
P.S: I have a MS in Counseling so doing these hard sciences has been an entire new experience for me :)

Yes split them up. Also, you do not get places on probation for getting a C
I thought you had to have those classes done before you started the program? So wouldn’t you have to have them done by September if you were pulled off the waitlist? I am applying for Spring 2020. I added the intro to nursing class when Dallas Community went online and I figured I had nothing better to do. I’m taking Patho this Summer ( as well as nutrition in case I have to go with TWU) and Pharm in the fall.
