I have just learned about this the online (entire program including pre-req courses) ap bsn program at uta. I read about this on another uta thread but it was not as clear as it was explained today to me. This is similar to the twu weekend bsn program; however, the difference is you will conduct your clinicals at the hospital where you are employed. No matter what position/status where you work (partnered hospital), you can participate in this program at a discounted rate. So far, I believe uta partnered with parkland, baylor and thr but I believe the thr program is different. uta/thr partnership offers full financial support (tuition, fees, and books) by thr for the 2nd bacc bsn program. The ap bsn program only offers you a discount but you would need to use either scholarships or tuition reimbursement from your employer (hospital).
I am so impressed with the fact that the entire program is online and it is estimated to take 18 months to complete (again including all pre-courses). The program is laid out great because you can take all pre-req sciences (except gen chem), psychology courses, stats and other pre-reqs online; your clinicals can be worked out with the clinical partnership manager. Since I work full-time in a non-clinical area, weekends would be so much better for me to participate in my clinicals. I believe the manager will be flexible with me on clinicals b/c we work closely together on a weekly basis.
I can start earlier with this program compared to the twu weekend program. Some pre-req courses are only 5-8 weeks long so you can complete your pre-reqs faster and courses are offered more than traditional program.
I would highly recommend this program for any career changes, who cannot afford to stop working full-time but have the desire to change careers into nursing. :redbeathe Go to www.uta.edu/nursing click on prospective students, click academic partnership, click on academic partnership under bsn program and read more about the opportunity.
Please note: you do not have to work at a hospital to be admitted into this program. Once you are admitted into the junior/senior level of the nursing program, uta will coordinate a clinical site for you at one of their partnership hospitals.
Is there anyone out who have started the ap bsn program either fall 2009 or spring 2010? I would love to hear how things are going in the online courses (whether you just started pre-req courses or you are taking the nursing courses).
I hope this has have been helpful information for those of you who really need flexibility while in the 2nd bsn fast track/accelerator program.
Welllllll, friends... not so good news. Called up to the nursing department today and a young sounding girl told me they were aiming for "two weeks." I asked "two weeks from today? As in not next week but the next?" And she said "Right." I asked why there was a delay and she said they were just "a bit behind." I would be interested to see if one of you call up there if you get the same answer. Maybe we'll all know something by December? :/

I didn't even apply to UTA but I want them to make decisions! I'm on the alternate list for TCC and I figure the sooner UTA makes decisions, the sooner I will get to know if TCC will be accepting more people. C'mon UTA!
Hey I called and the nursing receptionist said she's been involved in this process since it started;she said letters should go out by 15th. She said the website says Nov.1st but theiy're running 2 weeks behind. And that's pretty much what i was told on nov 3rd when I called.
Anyone who's taken pharmacology online at UTA...I have a question...we are rapidly approaching the final and I was wondering if the final is majority old exam questions or made up of new questions? Just trying to prepare and wanting an idea of what to expect...any in sight would be greatly appreciated!!
@Mandinoel...ok thanks!!! This is really good to know...the instructor has been giving "blueprints" for each exam and that tells you how many questions from each category you can expect to see on the exam...do you remember having one of those for the final and it being helpful for you to know what to re-study/review since we would've already covered it once for the final??! Thanks so much!!
I remember the blueprints. Lol. I think the best way we could study was to fill out the course map. (I think that's what it was called). It was something that went through the whole course. I filled it all out. It helped a lot.
does anyone know how to find out what books I will need. I am registered for Intro to Professional Nursing and class starts Monday. I am in the online AP program and won't have access to blackboard until the day class starts! Thanks!!
Hey Amy. My name is Heather, I know it has been a while since you took Path and Pharm online, but I am not taking both online.... Do you have any advice or any notes you can email me. My email address is [email protected] I would really appreciate it. Thanks in adavance
Hello my name is Heather. I am currently enrolled at UTA taking pharm and patho online. I was hoping you would be able to help me or guide me to finding notes or practice test. If you can help me please send me an email at [email protected] thanks in advance
I'm looking into Ocean Online. Can you message me the name of the professor you too for Chem DL? Also is there any other courses you would suggest taking at Ocean versus UTA online courses. My email address is mullinsamber @ Reagan dot com. Thanks so much
