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.
All you need is one acceptance to become a nurse! Don't feel to bad. With >1000 applicants, most everyone will have near perfect GPAs and test scores. There simply are not enough spots.
I completely agree! All we need is one school to believe we have what it takes í ½í¸Š
Hi! I am a student at UTH and currently living with extended family. I'm looking for 1-2 roommates starting January 2018. Let me know if you are interested!
Hi! I need some help trying to get health insurance coverage. Can someone have an idea? I don't know the ones that could be approved by the school. Or is it better to get the one from the school? Thanks
It's great to know there is still a chance then! How/When did you find out about your acceptance? Was it via email or the portal, and roughly how long after you were waitlisted did you find out? I'm concerned about having to wait until December 20th -ish about a final denial given that I am currently in a program that would require a leave of absence, if I were to be admitted to UTH. Any info you can share would be great! Thanks!

The school's insurance is a bit pricey in my opinion and there aren't "plans" that you can choose from to fit your specific needs. Therefore if you have time, looking into the different plans at the above website may be more beneficial than just going with the school's plan. I'm currently a student in a different program at UTH and found it was a better option to search for a plan that I can "customize" per se, than pay for their coverage.
Also, so long as you have medical coverage, it will satisfy the school's requirement.

Question: did you take any classes to make GPA higher or retook Hesi? I ask because I got waitlisted for fall 2017 and looks like I'll be getting denied .. so just wonder if I need to try something else thanks
