Good luck! Keep us posted. Are you from Houston?

We should make a facebook group later I’m so excited to start already. Is everyone working full time?

Have you heard anything about how UTMB helps us to find preceptors? I was accepted into AGACNP, but my biggest fear is that NP programs are notorious for finding students clinical placements, I wonder how UTMB compares?

From UTMB website under the FAQ, it says UTMB finds your clinical for you

I saw that, and its also a new "law". *NP schools must find a placement or risk losing accreditation* However, if there aren't any preceptors, then there just aren't any. I hope UTMB does a good job with this and has built rapport and relationships with surrounding clinics/health systems. This is why I chose UTMB, also it's brick & mortal kind of school, much more reputable.

Crossing fingers here, staying hopeful.

UTMB sets up clinical rotations for Houston/Galveston area only. If you plan to or are outside of that area then you are required to set up your own and UTMB has to approve it. I’m in San Antonio and plan on doing my rotations within the hospital system I currently work for.

Hi guys! I recently applied to the AGACNP program and the AGPC program at UTMB.

My nursing GPA is relatively low 3.16. Do any of you have GPA’s that are similar to mine? My other bachelor’s degree is 3.8 but in a different field.

Do any of you have less than 2 years experience as an RN when you applied?

Thanks! And congrats to those who have been accepted already! ?

Hey there, Yes I am from Houston. I do work full time and plan to throughout the program if I snag a spot. I spoke to the registrar office and they send out notifications monthly. Next one will be April 15th. She said to look out for a notification then.

Hey there! I submitted my application in early March. My GPA for ADN is 3.5 and BSN was 4.0. I haven't heard back from the program yet. I have just over two years experience. Really anxious to hear back!

See you all at orientation in July!

and Goodluck to the rest of you applying!
