Has anyone just been admitted to the BSN online program at UTA? I wanted to know how is the program? How is it taking the online classes? Is it possible to get A's in the pre requisites if I work full time and take these classes part time? I just submitted An application. I don't know if I'll get accepted yet, but I wanted some feed back!

Thanks in advance for your help!

Thank you. I checked online. I didn't see anything yet... one of my transcript is from abroad, so I guess it may take more time to be evaluated. I think I will take your advice and do one science at a time. I need good grades. 8 weeks and 4 weeks is very short, so I can just imagine how compact those courses are. I'm a little nervous.

Don't be nervous. Just remember to take your time with the pre-requisites and pace yourself. Do not get overwhelmed because that is when you drop the ball. Also, pay close attention to all those sciences, I'm going to say it now... a B may seem good and well, but a B in Chem, Micro, or A&P, means you will have to work harder in Patho and Pharm. Do take Medical Terminology and Intro to Nursing both completely before Patho and Pharm. Medical Terminology will help you more than you know. And whenever you come across a term you do not know in Patho or Pharm, go back and break the term into the parts. 9/10 of everything we learn is vocab based so if you know what the parts of the word mean, you know the definition. I drill this into my study groups and they all say it helps.

Thanks so much. You give such great advise. I will keep in touch as soon as I get an answer from the school.

Thank you guys, for all the wonderful advise! I got into UTA general admissions: I'm waiting to get my degree plan, so I can choose my classes and start in April! I'm so happy!

I picked my first set of classes. I registered for intro to nursing and U.S. history 1. Do you have any tips on how to study for these classes? I still work 40 hours a week and I'm a wife and mom of 2 kids under 4yrs old.

Anyone know how the UTA online classes work? I start on Monday. Do I just login online and wait for classes to start? Or I login to blackboard etc? Do I have to logon at a specific time?

You should logon now, they usually open the classes a couple of days early, you can get your syllabus and stuff, and sometimes they open the discussions early. You need to take the syllabus quiz (for classes that have them) before anything opens, so it's a good idea to login early. If they aren't open today then they will probably open tomorrow.

Quizzes/exams/assignments usually go live at midnight on the day class starts.

For introduction to nursing and history 1311, are the lectures live? How do you know what time to view them?

There is no lecture for Intro to Nursing. None of the lectures are live. They break the class up by week, each week has it's own link and in there is the list of things you have to complete and the deadline by which to complete them.

I'm having a big problem with submitting my professional journal via blackboard. Do I save my journal ad a word document and then upload it?
