Anyone here in the Waco/Temple area who is already in the program? Or know someone who is? I have specific questions about clinicals for this area. Thank you!

Hey guys!! I’m out of state and have been looking into this program. I have my BS in science and have worked in healthcare 14 years. It says the program is 12 months. But I’ve found other places that says 15 months. Which is still fine by me. But my question is besides all the pre-nursing courses, I found a long list of other pre-reqs. Like Texas government and a whole bunch more. Which to me would make the program a lot longer for someone not in the state of Texas. Are these really required?

Yes, unfortunately. In order to receive a BS in the state of Texas, you have to complete the Texas "core" classes, even if you have a BS from another state. I received my first BS in California. I've been spending the last 2 years taking the required core classes for Texas at a junior college so I can apply to the second-degree BSN programs.

Awe. Do you happen to know any other programs? I was looking at Emory as well. But that tuition ?!! Which I guess having to take all those other courses it would probably end up the same.

All of the programs in Texas require the same Texas "core" classes. I'm not looking at any outside of Texas right now if that's what you're asking.

Hi!

I've read that this program takes 15+ months to complete. If it is a set pace and syllabus, how can it take longer than 15 months? I really want to apply to this program, but I have two little kids at home and I don't know if I should. I'm a little nervous that I won't really see them during these 15 months. I would love it if I could take closer to 2 years to finish and not have such a super fast paced program.

Has anyone gone through this program and can tell me if there is a way to go through this program a little slower? Would you normally take 1 course at a time? Or several?

Thank you!

I’m not really sure! I’m just now really looking into Emory. UTA says it’s 12 months, but all the pre reqs required for Texas It would definitely take me way longer to complete. Just looking at the syllabus though I think it’s pretty fast paced and you do take one class at a time but your completing them in like a 6 week time frame. The schedules are set.

 I'm thinking on applying for the Spring 2021. I live in a different State. Will I be doing my lab simulations and clinicals in Texas ? Or, I can do them in my home State ?
