UTA FNP Spring 2020

[ernurse7]

I applied for the online FNP program at University of Texas Arlington starting Spring 2020 (Jan). I'm wondering if anyone else applied! Also, when do we find out if we got in?

Hi, I finished my first class. It was great, about 15 hours/wk, I got an A. Unfortunately though my transcript eval came back with some surprises. I have a bachelors from UCSB and an ADN but UTA wanted me to repeat 3 math classes algebra and pre calc - despite having as full year of college calculus. They wanted me to repeat English 1, 2 and writing- philosophy-history- basically all my GEs. They wouldn’t even accept my developmental psychology. They said I could appeal each course if I could get the course syllabi’s etc. I already have over 220 units. There was no way I was going to repeat all my GEs. So I just switched to UOP RN-BSN, 11 courses no surprises. I feel I was really mislead by the UTA recruiter and am now out 5 weeks of time and $1000.

For those who have started in the Spring, how is it going so far? Is anyone starting May 2020??

It is going well and I will start Advanced Pathophysiology May 18, 2020. I recommend getting the Nursing Research book for NURS 5366-Principles of research in nursing. Best of luck.

So far its going okay. I started in January and am on my 3rd class so far. I am having a hard time though understanding my degree map with regards to my transfer credits. I will like to continue on and get my FNP at UTA but am not sure at this time. I will complete by BSN and see from there.

[Adolfo Herrera Hyperbaric RN]

yes!

Hello everyone, I am a UTA alumni ( BSN) , and I am thinking about applying to the FNP program next Spring. Could you please tell me how the GPA is calculated? Is it a cumulative GPA, or just the undergraduate nursing coursework GPA? Thank you and CONGRATS to everyone who got accepted. ???
