Have anyone applied UTA Spring 2018 on-campus and online yet?

Hello!

I am a current student in UTA.

I was a transferred student, so I finished most prerequisities classes and all my science courses from a Community College.

I finally finished all my pre-nursing courses & upper division elective course in UTA by this semester (Spring 2017).

I just took HESI a few days ago, and I was able to apply to the Nursing school in Spring 2018 for on-campus and online.

(However, I prefer on-campus)

I have heard that the Spring acceptance letter would come around

September (my friend told me who have accepted in UTA nursing school for Spring 2017. My friend was not waitlisted).

I am curious when people will hear again for their acceptance if they were waitlisted for spring semester? And does UTA do "first-person-first-serve"?

My overall GPA is 3.5

(I ruined my GPA so much after I took pre-nursing courses T_T)

and my Science GPA is 3.8.

I know people who are waitlisted for Fall 2017 even though they have good GPA.

( One of my friends got waitlisted for fall 2017. My friend's overall GPA is 3.9 and took some courses from CC. This news made me very scared and discouraging T_T )

Do you think I have a chance to get in nursing school?

haha. I am glad it was helpful :)

CNA and PCT are the same.

Hospital would call PCT (Patient Care Tech), which is CNA.

But PCT do not need to do total care by themselves because the nurse would help them.

Right. I'm aware. My question was in terms of your job at the used to be partnered hospital. I was wondering if you were a CNA and worked at the hospital and are now deciding to do nursing.

I know I ask a lot of questions haha. I'm curious about what routes to take

No, I don't mind you are asking questions! ( I am willing to help!)

I decided to pursue a nursing career first, and then I decided to get CNA to qualify to work at the hospital.

I was also a volunteer at the hopsital (not the hopsital where I am working now, but the different hospital).

While I was volunteering, I tried to write down all names of devicies and tools that I restocked, and then searched all devices and tools once I get home . And guess what, those knowledge helped me when I started working at the hopsital lol

But It was hard to get hired in the hopsital at first ( I got so many rejected emails)

so I actually worked at Nursing home for few months to make a strong resume.

To be honest, I realized making a professional resume is very very important!

Once one of my nursing friends helped me to remake resume in a professional way,

I got 3 hospital jobs offered! I even had 2 interviews on the same day lol

I was so happy my phone was busy for getting interview calls cause I have never experienced lol

So put some effort on your resume! It will make your life change lol
