We really do have to buy the books for first sem bc of the access codes, there’s also assignments through the book as well that are for a grade. After first sem, there aren’t as many access codes.  ? Also, I was someone like you as well! I never really studied as much but this program is so demanding and rigorous, you’ll learn how to study girl! UTMB is very good at making sure you know everything you need to know (and then some) within a short amount of time so you will definitely be more challenged than someone who has already learned their study techniques. (Ex: I never had to study and struggled when hit with the new material compared to my friend who has had to study hard her whole life - so she was prepared for the course load) the material you will see in nursing is so different than regular university but once you get the hang of it, you’ll see you know way more than you think! 

I’m glad to hear the access codes aren’t as often after the first semester ? I do not have the money to blow almost $1k on books each semester especially since I have to stop working once classes start. 
And that makes me feel a lot better knowing UTMB truly is good about wanting us all to succeed. I’m hopeful to get the hang of it after some time such as you said. Thank you! 

Also, did you personally feel like going through this program was overwhelming due to the time frames, due dates, lecs/labs/clinicals etc?

100% overwhelming, but 110% worth it! I will leave it at that, haha.
