UTA RN to BSN Online Fall 2014

[BrookeWhiteRN]

Looking to locate students that will begin the online program for UTA RN to BSN online program in Fall 2014. I would like for us all to be able to communicate. I think once we can all connect it will make all of our lives MUCH less stressful!!!

I decided to take Technical Writing at a local community college. It's $72 per credit hour vs. UTA's $1004 per credit hour. That's a HUGE difference. BTW, the Technical Writing class isn't included in the $8995 tuition rate they quoted on their website. The $8995 only covers Nursing classes and not the electives and general education classes that you are required to take to graduate. http://academicpartnerships.uta.edu/documents/UTA_RNtoBSN_Degree_Plan.pdf

Anything NOT listed as "NURS" in the beginning is required and counts as out-of-state tuition if you don't live in Texas. Just a heads up! I'm taking as many classes locally as I can so I only have to take the NURS classes here.

Hi All!

I'm starting Professional Nursing on 8/11.

I have to take the nursing classes plus US Hist II and TX govt. Not looking forward to taking history classes ugh!!

Just got my acceptance yesterday! I have to take 27 general course credits still -_-

I applied June 2nd and am still waiting to find out what classes I need etc. Does anyone have a male adviser with the initials C.F.? If so, can you give me some insight? He does not return my emails. I would love to find some study buddy's.

Thanks!

I don't have that advisor but I find that like others, my emails get answered with a very vague and useless response. Usually they just send me a link and don't actually give me any information. I applied late June, was accepted late July and will start on August 11, 2014. I had all of my transfer credits from my Associates be accepted, though it took a few weeks for them to review and accept. I still have to take about 9 pre-req classes, most of them are English/writing or Government. Those I plan on doubling up so I can finish asap. There are 9 Nursing classes, which accounts for the $8995 price they quote. Are you transferring over a lot?

Kona-

I have no idea what I am transferring over.....as I have seen nothing from them saying what they will accept or not. I have an AA degree plus my CEN for them to review. I am anticipating all I need is American Lit and the Texas history classes. I am very disappointed that I wont be starting on 8/11. I guess I will be 5 weeks behind you.

What classes are you taking on 8/11? I will be interested to get your feedback on the communication during the program.

Stay in touch!

I am starting 8/11 with Technical Writing and 8/25 Professional Nursing. I've been provisionally accepted so I don't know what prerequisites I'll still need to take. but count me in as a study buddy! =P good luck to all!

nursndy-

How did you get "provisionally accepted"? I cant get anyone to answer the phone or speak to anyone there. I would love some help.

I have also been "provisionally accepted" and spoken with my advisor already. Here is the contact information I have used and their response is always within 24-48 hours.

I just applied and they accepted me once they verified that I have my RN license.

Does anyone know why the don't do transcript evaluations until you sign up for classes? I find this very annoying. If I sign up and then they tell me I need 9 more classes on top of my nursing classes, that won't be good! And then I'll probably go looking for another one with not so many prereqs. I mean Texas History? Really? lol
