UT Health Pacesetter BSN Spring 2018

Published

Yes, it is extremely early to begin talking about the Spring 2018 class, however, I thought it would be nice if we could all get together here and go through our pre-req/application/acceptance journey. It would be fun to lend support, chronicle our stresses and excitements and see how everything unfolds for us from now until the first day of class (assuming we get accepted).

I'll start:

I'm taking my pre-reqs at Lonestar (10 hrs for Spring, 14 hrs for Summer). I plan to take 18 hrs for Fall and will be testing out of 15 hrs via CLEP. I work PRN in a Critical Care unit at a major hospital. I will be taking the HESI in May; once Spring semester ends. Lastly, I have high hopes to be accepted into the Honors program once I am eligible to apply, since I have a deep interest in research.

I hope to hear from some of you! The application deadline is September 1 and there is a webinar info session at 10am tomorrow.

God bless.

Did you receive it through mail or email! I know that not everyone receives one & on the last forum I read some people who were accepted never received one. Ugh, the anticipation is killing me . I wonder when they will start sending out acceptances?

When I received my course eval previously it was sent to me in the mail

Also, at UTH we receive the same amount of information in the same amount of time. All of the programs are over 4 semesters. The only difference is that instead of taking a summer break, UTH continues through the summer, so that is going to be where you get the more rigorous time reduction. But ever other semester is the same speed as everywhere else. In my opinion, I'm glad I'm at UTH even though the summer will be hard, but I am done faster. And I don't know anything about TWU but as far as UTH goes: your first semester (the one I'm in now) is all about getting a foundation of knowledge, especially pathophysiology. The patho teacher for our school is the best, most informative teacher I have ever had ever. I would just be sure to do your research.

I did a few days ago! Does anyone know what the point of it is? Is it just to let us know they've received everything?

Hello ! Didn't you receive the evaluation through email or regular mail thanks

When I went to the information session and the campus tour, November 15th is actually a deadline for them to let everyone know their status.

Just wondering here, all they gave you was an evaluation? When I got an evaluation last year for the Summer session they also told me what disqualified me from getting accepted.

Yeah I just got an eval!

Hi All,

Just an FYI, their system is still down. I called this morning and was advised the system is down for service/maintenance. The gentleman told me it may be through the weekend, but to try again tomorrow :( Hang in there everyone and good luck!!

Thank you @shrn18

if you can share what qualifies someone to be disqualified?

Taking the HESI more than twice, not having all courses complete, having the wrong courses complete, not having transcripts in on time, etc.

I thought I could maybe slip through the cracks and make it in with a 70 in the anatomy portion of the HESI. Lol, but it didn't happen.
