UTA Spring 2012

@ Judy

Do not be nervous ALL have managed before us. You will get a list of books to purchase and there will be an EVOLVE for each course that is what I used to study and the lecture notes they also have a FUNDAMENTALS success book that is real helpful.

The commute is time consuming but the clinicals in EAST TEXAS is well worth it. I enjoy GSMC very much. Clinical instructors really want you to succeed. There are a total of 11 that commute to longview we room and carpool out there so expenses are split.

Tejas I know you will get in some nursing program. Keep the Faith!!!

I been out here for awhile and I wish I knew how competitive it is to get into the program. My gpa is only a 3.5 in science and a 3.3 all around. But I too must keep the faith and pray that all is well and if it is not meant for me than eventually I will know soon.

Im sure you have already heard this, but you should really think about retaking your sciences (especially at UTA) to get your science GPA up. I know it's stressful and time consuming, but you want to be competitive...and you want your letter to read ACCEPTED....

Just food for thought...

Okay, so I have some info for my wait listed brethren - the wait list presumably works like this...

Lets say there are 20 spots...15 spots are new admits and 5 spots are held for current semester students that may need to repeat the first semester due to their grades. There are only so many clinical spots available. Apparently, there are only enough wait listed to fill those spots, so if everyone does well - then all the wait listed get in...if not, the vacancies are filled based on the rankings. So a few may get called that are wait listed. Also, they were supposedly pulling grades prior to them being posted (grades are due Dec 16th ish - so we should know in a couple of weeks.

So we will keep our fingers crossed!

Eldraper7,

I would really consider getting partnered trust me, that will also help!

But keep the FAITH. What God has for you no man can take away.

@BJBAILEY1972, that's interested about the waitlist. Did you hear that from an advisor?

Fingers crossed indeed....

YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW EXCITED I AM TO HEAR FROM SOMEONE FROM GSMC!!! I live in Longview and have friends who work at GSMC and for some reason you are the first person who I've found who actually knows about the program. I was accepted for Spring 2012 and I have so many questions. Hopefully, you can answer a few for me. What days were your clinicals for Jr. I? Do you work? What has been the most challenging part of the program thus far? Is everyone in your class seem to be doing okay or are there a few or many who are struggling with the coorifice load? Please, if you have any helpful information, include it. One other thing, could you guys make a facebook page or something sharing your experience that includes pictures. lol!! Aren't you guys the first class of GSMC?

Thanks Judyduckett, I really appreciate your response and I am trying but you are definitely right if it is God's will he will open the door for me to get a job. I just have to keep the faith and let patience do its work in me.

Also thanks for your response too blbailey but already taken them again well at leas 2 I took again.

McKinneyMom...are you kidding, an advisor give us information....you know better. No, the information came from someone here at my job that knows how the partnering and ranking works. They are in the know, lets just say that...

So, we have a pretty good chance... cross everything! haha...

BTW - GOOD LUCK TO EVERYONE TAKING THE ONLINE PHARM FINAL TODAY! We are in the last few minutes of this race, you can do it...the finish line is in site! Anyone who takes it, come share with us your thoughts! You never know, your comment could mean the difference between someone passing and failing... we are all here to help each other!

Also thanks for your response too blbailey but already taken them again well at leas 2 I took again.

Eldraper7 - awesome, am glad you took them again...regardless, you will do fine. I think the one thing I have learned from this site with regards to applying for nursing school is to not put all your eggs in one basket if you can help it...(I can only do academic partnership ) If you can do traditional and online, apply for as many programs as you can...

Everything will work out!
