[babynurse1234]

Has anybody applied to the fall 2019 NP program at UTMB ?

When did you submit your application and have you heard anything from them yet?

and what track did you apply to?

Just wanting to connect with people because this wait is killing me !! ?

How are classes going for everyone? Our first patho exam is coming up! Is there a facebook group for AGACNP?

All I can say is it's A LOT of reading!

I feel after the first test we will know what's expected of us. I think I'm studying well but won't know until testing time.

Group work is always stressful but we will get through.

I don't have FB (weird I know) so I'm not sure about that.

Good luck to you!

I'm not reading the entire chapters, I'm just now starting to read with what coincides with the blueprint. I've really been focusing on her notes, study questions, and that primer handbook for genetics. She reiterated not reading the chapters in their entirety. I've pretty much gone over all of the material, now I'm just reviewing over and over and over to get it to stick! I'm having the most trouble differentiating osmotic pressure, oncotic pressure, (terms like that, etc). We shall see when Tuesday comes. Best of luck to you too!

Are you in theory and research as well? that's what I was referring to when talking about reading... ugh. not interesting and not sticking

as for patho I'm doing the same as you. going over it again and again and again.

Oh yes theory and research... always my favorite! Yes, that has been a lot of reading. I'm thankful to have pretty good group members so far. Just trying to takes notes along the way while I'm reading to answer the first group discussion question. This is the third time I will be in some sort of theory course (first in my ADN program and then again in RN-BSN program).

Okay makes me feel better! I was spending about 8 hours the first couple of weeks getting all the material down but now spending about 4 hours-ish reviewing. How about you?

[allmostthere, BSN]

I'm doing the exact same, put in a lot of work on the notes and reading then just reviewing every day. looking at the blueprint and Dr A's notes. I guess we shall see...

The theory class I'm not sure about yet. I've done the assignments and now its down to group work.

Good luck to you, nice talking to someone that's in the same exact shoes as I'm in!

Hey I’m sure this thread is probably dead but I was just wondering if anyone was willing to share Their GPAs they used to get into the program? I am currently In my first semester of nursing school and am getting my test grades back for the tests we have taken during this whole pandemic thing and they are not good. And I’m just scared that when the time comes I won’t be able to get into a masters program to become an NP. Thank you for any responses!!
