Hi all-

I just applied to the AP Nursing program too and this wait is going to be excrutiating (no word till like November :uhoh3: ) I have taken most of my pre-reqs at el centro and a couple come from UT. My overall GPA is a 3.73 and Science GPA is 4.0 and am not partnered. I am taking the HESI tomorrow, so we shall see. I wish everybody luck!

i know you all briefly touched up on this but do people that work for a partnered hospital have a huge chance of getting accepted with a decent gpa for example 3.5 for both science and overall?

Deciding if I want to go to uta or accept a offer for a adn program that I have one day left to decide. Thanks guy!! Good luck to all!

@marcopolo...it depends?! My advisor did tell me a couple weeks ago that a couple of the partnering hospitals (she didn't mention exact names) had SO many applicants that it became extremely competitive amongst themselves. So I am beginning to think that this program is gaining huge popularity and now more people are applying through the hospitals making that even tough to secure a seat. :-/

I know its so competitive that its scary. Im starting to feel as though maybe I should go into a different area of healthcare because of the overpopulation of nurses now. I think I am just going to go my ADN now and later go back to school over time for physical therapy or something.

@tejas03 - are you going to try to get partnered at a hospital for Spring 2012 consideration? I just can't right now but if I don't get in this round, I think I will try to partner with a hospital for Fall 2012 application. I'll be done with pre-reqs by then and have a little more time on my hands.

@McKinneyMom...yes, that's my plan at this time too! I just can't find anymore time with the 4 class I'm finishing up this summer/fall to get a job. lol...my 3 kid's schedules are a full time job alone!! :) I agree that if I don't get accepted this Spring then I'll have to for sure get a job at one of the partnering hospitals so that I can be a little competitive. I'm just praying about it now and know everything is in God's time so I have to just be patient. :)

Have a great Wednesday...I'm off to end of year activities (1st of about 4 this week..lol)

Hey,, I just applied for jan. 2012 BSN AP program. I got credit for all 4 science course from my previous studies. I have 3.85 GPA so far. And I am unpartnered.

What do you think about my chances of getting in?? I am very nervous? Do HESI score count too??

hi all! i am currently awaiting an appointment with my advisor to even begin the online portion of the apbsn program. i am just curious tho, from those of you who have takin it...would you reccomend taking the a&p online as well as the other sciences , or should i take it on campus? i had to drop a&p last summer so that i could start my lvn and i really dont want two drops on my record and i am nervous to take it online for that reason.... also for those of you who took the sciences on campus do they accept the sciences from community colleges to satisfy the requirements? i am considering taking it at tcc next term but i dont want to waste my time and money if it will not transfer...i appreciate all advice thank you!!

@acwilson06,

I think it depends on your learning style. If you need to see it or hear it to really get a concept down, I wouldn't recommend taking the sciences classes online. It's a lot of reading in a very short time and there is little interaction. However, if you can make sense of something by reading it, I say take the sciences online! Except Chem - that was a doozy online :)

acwilson06 · May 29, 2011

Thanks for the advice! I think I would b better off on campus then for sciences! Especially chem! does anybody know of a good professor at tcc for a&p my last one was a terror !! I'm closest to nw,ne, and tr campuses... Thanx all!

@acwilson06 - good luck!
