University of Texas at Arlington Fall 2020 Cohort

Published

Hello Everyone!!

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!

Does anyone know if there is a “graduation date” for the AO 23 posted anywhere? I need something that has an official grad date, or anticipated grad date for an application I’m filling out, and it’s kind of urgent. I asked advising earlier this week, but they haven’t gotten back to me yet. I know they’re prob super busy right now.

You can use the chat. Just Google UTA chat and it should come up.

@Fil We have to wait til June 1st to apply for the fall semester. We are not enrolled in a health institution (such as UTHSC) so we are not automatically enrolled. Wait until June 1st then a link should be active on the insurance webpage.

edit: Insurance is actually due June 30, not June 1, in InPlace as well.

Insurance is due June 19. Below is part of an email I recieved in regards to important dates.

June 1st

TB testing - 2 skin tests or 1 blood test

BON Blue Card - submit side showing your name, this must be correctly uploaded by the deadline.

June 19th

Insurance Compliance for Fall (you do not need coverage for Summer)

Verification of Insurance form (found in InPlace shared documents) AND

Copy of card or proof of purchase

June 30th

Canvas Orientation due - must have 100% on all assignments

July 24th

BLS (CPR) certification good through at least December 2020

We hope to have more information on whether ANSA will be able to have these courses in July

July 25th

Drug Screens Begin

GroupOne Background Check request begins

*link will be sent on this day

July 31st

GroupOne Background Check Due

Thank you! Got a little confused there. For the coverage, is there a document or page online that lists the specific coverages we need in the insurance for our program, I tried to find one online but didn't see anything (I know we need emergency/needle stick coverage, etc.). The BCBS student health insurance through UTA is a bit expensive for me so I wanted to look at other cheaper health insurance alternatives, does anyone have any suggestions on other coverages? I've heard Ambetter is cheap (although I know not many places accept it, will it still fulfill the insurance compliance for the program?)

Im not sure that sounds like a question for the advisor. I was going to get the cheapest insurance out there for like 100 dollars a month. Then covid19 came around and its not such a great idea to have a cheap insurance since they cover so little and expect a lot of payment out of pocket. Im actually going to get the UTA student insurance. It's better then my current insurance working as a teacher for a school district however I just resigned so my district insurance ends in the Summer. Upfront the UTA student insurance seems expensive but if for whatever reason you get sick and you need to be hospitalized you are sure going to be grateful you have it. In my humble opinion I wouldnt skimp on health insurance during a pandemic. It might end up costing you more on the long run. Just my 2 cents.

Can anyone email me the RRD’s for Pathophysiology PLEASEEEEE??

there are currently insurances for like $100 a month, which is like - you pay all till $20K , and after that they pay till bill reaches 1 mill or 5 mill, which is only for medical emergencies tat would cost you $250 etc ( a friend of mine who died had a $250 K bill for a stroke a few years ago), maybe also expensive procedures like transplants. UTA coverage is not cheap if you work pat time and all but compared to to rest good insurances is 3-4 times cheaper and is good insurance....

You can try and get it through healthcare.gov and say it is a major life change. They might take it

not the TB - I submitted that 2 weeks ago, about the health insurance....

Last year I didn't qualify for a good deal through the government for insurance and just a month ago I called them again and they gave me some quote but it was like $1000 more expensive a year that the UTA one...

Make sure to check your emails because that is were they are updating us. If you didn't get the email let the advisors know. Maybe your not on the mass email list they are using on outlook and just need to add you.

I have outlook open on my cellphone and everytime I get an email it alerts me immediately, IDK why I didn't get this email
