UTHSC-Houston Spring 2013

Published

Hi,

I am new to allnurses.com and I wanted to start a topic for the Spring 2013 applicants at UTHSC Houston. Where we can keep each other posted on the process as it nears. I have yet to take the HESI but i wonder if anyone else has taken it and what their score was. I will compile my GPA's later and post them on here.

Thanks for your comments

Ooh parking is atrocious. There are two remote TMC lots you can use, the Smithlands and Brown lots. They run 6 bucks a day or 66 a month for a contract. You do get to ride TMC white for free, so you can get dropped off right at the corner of Bertner and Holcombe if you use the Brown lot. Smithlands is too far for school but great for Methodist or St. Luke's clinicals. You can also opt for a garage spot right behind UTHSC. It is 89 a month and is renewed on a semester basis. Lastly, there is the Mays garage across the street. Technically you aren't supposed to park there, but if you park on the 3rd level, they tend to not care. It is about 10 a day. It's very close and I parked there all the time as did many class mates. You also have the option of riding the metro and parking out at a park and ride. You can get a student pass so it is a reduced rate, and there is a stop right at the corner.
Thanks a lot! The information is very helpful. Wish you a great future after graduation!

Hey guys I have a question. In the online to do list, if the status is initiated, what does that mean? Also, what is proof of TSI?

Hey Guys:

I JUST (as in 8/17) graduated from UTHSC Accelerated Nursing program. I know the number 1 question many of you guys have is "Is my GPA good enough?

To be honest, we had over all GPA ranges entering anywhere from 2.5's (seriously) all the way up to 4.0's. What really matters is your science GPA and HESI's. They like to see a science over 3.0, but most of my class were 3.2 and higher. A high 80's/90's average on the HESI is pretty normal too.

Don't stress too much about having a few "bad" grades. They know that you are human and things happen, what counts is how you recovered from those grades.

I hope this kind of puts everyone at ease! I know how tightly wound applying for/being in nursing school can make you!

Good Luck!

Thanks for this bit of insight! It definitely puts me at ease!

You should get a transcript evaluation sometime between the deadline and November 15th. Like Courtney319 said, they send out acceptance and denial letters starting then (Nov 15th). From then, all the way up until the start of Spring classes, you should watch your email and status online for any changes.

Are any of y'all working at a hospital? I have a CNA license, and so far I haven't been able to get a job. I have applied to many CNA positions, but I don't hear anything back. Are you guys experiencing the same thing? I am thinking about volunteering at a hospital any recommendations which one I should choose? Thanks
