Hey guys!

:)

The application period for UTMB Spring 2013 is now open! Have any of you already applied/ taken the teas? Good luck to all!

Csmcjunkins had 2 interviews last semester (for fall 2012) and was still rejected. :(

He still hasn't heard anything either (for spring 2013).

Stay Optimistic Beth! ...My letter was dated September 25 so maybe my reasons for my poor grades were not what they were looking for. I think most people that get an interview get accepted so your acceptance letter is on the way:yes:!

Thanks! Keep me informed on your other applications. Good luck!

I also applied to UTHSC and UHV ...don't give up hope! No news is good news so you are still being considered. I called yesterday before I received my letter and she told me that they are still reviewing applications. I pray that yours is great news!
I hope so too. I got accepted to an ADN program but I have been hearing that Magnet hospitals are not really hiring people with ADNs. I am not sure how true this is but I have heard it from at least two nurses.

I'm having trouble logging into mystar and my email. It's saying my password in incorrect, but I know that its not. Anyone else having this problem?

I've heard the same thing from nurse friends, and at the information session at UTMB. I am applying to an ADN program as a back-up. I guess the benefit to doing ADN first would be a lot of people are able to work while going through a RN-BSN program.

So you actually heard that they not hiring ADN nurses that much too. I would hate for that to be the case because I already have two degrees and can not find a job. I am passionate about doing nursing and I would hate to not be able to find a job if I do the ADN program.

From what I gather from folks, I think the opportunities are still there, but not as widespread. So, you might be limited to working at hospitals in the outskirts of Houston area (if your from around here and want to stay here) rather than in the med center. I haven't yet met someone who is a nurse (RN or BSN) and had trouble finding a job. You just can't be super picky right out of school. With having two degrees already, that could be in your favor. What are your previous degrees in?

Yea I am hoping to work at the VA after nursing school. If I wind up doing the ADN program, I plan on doing the ADN to MSN Nurse Practicioner program online later. I have a B.S in Health Education and a B.S in Psychology.

Sounds like a great plan. I have a lot of friends that are veterens, so thank you in advance ;) I too have a bachelors in Psychology, and oddly taught health-ish education after graduation (STD/Pregnancy prevention program, but I covered a wide range of topics) It's what got me interested in nursing in the first place.
