UTHSCSA Spring 2016

I'm considering going to nursing school through the Baptist Health System in San Antonio or UTHSCSA. Most people I get advice from tell me hands down to go for UTHSCSA. I would like to hear from more of you who are currently enrolled or have gone through the nursing school program at either one of these locations in San Antonio. What did you like about the teachers, faculty, the content you were learning, etc. What were your hours like at school and if you had kids, how did you manage your time.

I am still a pre-nursing student and have one more semester in Spring of 2014 to complete before I can apply. I am very excited and just want to know more information. Also, a close family friend is attending nursing school at Wayland Baptist and informed me that their nursing program is shutting down. Is there any truth to this?

    I would give a good trait/quality then related it to nursing. Example: I'm a team player and can work well within a team. Then explained how I thought that related to nursing/healthcare.

    No, I didn't. It was a little less than 350 words. I made sure to put down what I thought were my best traits/ qualities. Also, desirable traits/qualities I found in myself that I've also seen in nurses that have taken care of me. (Hopefully, that last part made sense).

    Like, I've had a nurse that was a great listener and I appreciated that, and I feel like I'm a great listener and think that future patients would love a nurse that really listens to he or she.

    In reference to essay question 1, what did you all put down as evidence of past work or volunteer experience.

    I wrote about what I did while in the military and some red cross volunteer work I did while in high school. Things like that.

    I've submitted everything but one looks like I've sent a blank document.

    Lol, for real to keep my mind off waiting I've been working tons of overtime and like going to the gym every day (I've lost 13 pounds so far). I'm even about to wash my car and that hasn't been done since like February

    I noticed with the supplemental application that I could type everything in but it wouldn't save all the little bubbles you have to click so I literally had to print it, scan it, and then email it.
