Hey! I am applying for the Accelerated BSN program at UT Health Science Center Houston that starts in the summer and had couple of questions. I didn't see any topics regarding that particular session (saw the Spring 2014 one) so I started this one.
So I have most of my prereqs for nursing but I still need to take my science prereqs during the upcoming fall semester. I had taken most of the prereqs (like english, psychology, etc) during high school, like dual credit, and now I just need my science classes and a few extra prereqs (like sociology).
The main question that I had about the application process was if I am eligible to apply just yet? I want to enter the summer term and will complete all my prereqs by Spring 2014. But the deadline is Dec 1 (if i'm right). Would I have to complete my science prereqs first? Or could I send in what I have and continually update them with my grades? I will complete all other requirements before the deadline (taking the HESI in October), but my grades won't be complete till after the deadline.
Thanks in advance for any help and i'm looking forward to other applicants for this session!
I'm so anxious to hear something. Looking at the board for last year's summer BSN program, it looks like they started receiving their acceptance emails on 2/20-2/21. Fingers crossed everyone!

I know! I also checked last years too! Fingers crossed!
Hi, I'm John and new here! I was also admitted to Summer 2014 after being wait listed in Spring 2014 term. I am not sure how they evaluated each applicant, but my stats were not great as many that I saw on the forum, so don't give up!. I do have a BS in Biology and I noticed on my transcript eval they replaced my general chemistry 1/2 classes with my Organic chem 1/2 classes which I did better on. As for my work experience, I did also worked as a MLT for the past 2 years for.
I'm at least a year away from applying and could not attend the Information Session at UTHSC today. Did anyone on the forum attend? If so - any new or exciting information? Thanks in advance

Awesome job!!
Can I ask how you get a job as a MLT? Do you need a special certification for that?
I worked in an organic synthesis / pharmaceutical research lab in college. Will that help?
I got hired at a small laboratory company and they allowed me to work uncertified while I trained on the job, on the condition that I would take my certification exam after 6 month. Since you would be doing a lot more blood related test, I don't think organic synthesis experience would help.

Thanks for the info and good luck in the program!!

Worked for me too. Back to staring at those little taunting green circles!
