UTA AP BSN Spring 2014

Published

Hey everyone,

Just wanted to start a new thread for those of us applying this May for the Spring 2014 entry into the AP BSN program. I have been working on my prerequisites for the last year and still have about 5 classes left to take. I will also be taking my HESI in May. I am so excited to get the nursing program started, but really nervous as well! I will have to work full time during the program and hope that it will work out. I am currently partnered with Cook Children's. Anyone else out there fixing to apply for Spring 2014 entry?

MullinsAmber if you don't have a science background I would suggest taking Medical terminology first. If you get a grasp of that it will help with your science courses.

Patho and Pharm are super classes! I loved them both, I took them sequentially, not together. My tips are start working on the RRDs early in the week. Make your own lists as you read, like list of diseases. For Patho I never opened the book, for Pharm, I was in the book more than the RRDs. I went through the RRDs probably 6-8 times before the exams.

The exams are very similar to the assignments. For each of the multiple choice on the assignment questions, make notes on why or why isn't the choice correct. All the questions and topics build on each other so learn them even after the exams.

Good luck and have fun!

Sooooo. Does this mean that as an unpartnered applicant, my only clinical choices are Mansfield or Plano? I'd die if I had to go to Mansfield twice weekly.

It is actually more like three times a week, two clinical days and test day. You have a test almost every week starting on the second week of each semester. You may be slotted into any local location that has an opening.

We have a couple people that are over 100 miles from their clinical site. They drive and spend the three days local and then drive back to their homes. You do what you have to do to obtain your goal I guess.

Anyway, good luck everyone.

Hey guys! Just wanted to join the thread ... I also applied for the BSN program at Uta just waiting for October now. I'm taking the rest of my classes now to get in I have patho pharm stats chem and intro to nursing .... Pharm and patho are beyond overwhelming and I have a test tomorrow afternoon. I'm already over it and want to be done I feel like I don't have enough time for all the classes. Don't get me wrong I love patho not so much pharm but its just so much memorization I don't have that much brain room for all of it! Good luck everyone
