hello, ik deborahs lectures will no longer be available, but will professors still record class ?

Hi yall !!

is the patho module hw questions the questions on the test??

please give any tips as well!!!

so far im taking notes on all the require readings and gonna make not cards and quizlets!!!

So my first class for patho is tomorrow and I’m nervous as hell. I’m already kinda nervous with teas prep going in at the same time as this class but it’s just the circumstances I gotta deal with, with that what are yalls study tips for patho.

I haven’t looked too well into the first unit content yet since I’m gathering everything to even just start the semester and I keep seeing words like RRD and stuff like that. Is this something that I kinda just gotta figure out or will we talk about it the first day of lecture.

I’m already planning on taking the advice of reviewing it everyday for 45 mins at least but what else did y’all do to keep up with this enough to get a b. Im trying to fit everything together so I can study for the teas and this pathology class without burning out- ex. Having the weekend off when I can

Hi everyone! I’m taking NURS 3366 Pathophysiology with Professor Mortus this fall, and I’ve seen a lot of students recommend Professor Deborah Hughes’ recorded lectures for understanding the material.

Does anyone know where I can find her lecture videos? Are they still available somewhere in Canvas, YouTube, or another UTA resource?

If anyone has taken Patho recently and knows exactly where they’re located, I’d really appreciate the help. Thanks!

Best way to study for this professor? Any tips? I understand exams are new every semester but if you have any tips for this specific professor, I appreciate any tips.

I’m think of doing the online nursing program at UTA and I’m currently a junior in bachelors of science in biology . My question is I know I don’t have all the pre reqs needed for the online program . So what happens in the case ? Do I have to finish those classes before I can apply for the program or is there anything else I can do ?

Please help

J2 semester: Is it necessary to purchase the new "Understanding Research textbook", or would it be okay to rent a used copy?

As fall semester is about to start what are ways I can study for foundations and assessment? Do I have to read the textbook and stuff or like how do yall study the lectures please tell meeee!!!! it looks so hard and i want to be prepared

Guys, we have three more weeks till we find out if we got in or not from today fingers crossed the weight is killing me.

Why is it impossible to get scheduled to see advising if you’re a transfer AO? I JUST WANT TO TALK TO SOMEONE.

I even went in person and they’re like Oh We’LL cALL YOu MoNdaY. It’s Thursday. No call.

Sigh. end rant

Like the title says, my advising plan has me to take a Intro to psychology class. I don't see how that is required when my degree is in psychology and I have taken much more difficult psychology classes.

Do I really need to take the class?

Does anyone have experience with how I could go about testing out of it or getting a higher level psychology class to replace it? I contacted advising, but they basically just repeated my email back to me.

I’m trying to decide if taking Pathophysiology is worth the extra cost before I apply to UTA’s AO BSN program.
Right now, I’m estimating my score to be around 7.6 without Patho and about 8.01 with Patho.
I live in a smaller area, not a major city like DFW, Houston, or San Antonio. Does being in a less competitive geographic area help my chances at all? I know AO applicants are separated by geographic region, so I’m wondering if anyone from a smaller area has gotten accepted with similar points.
I really want to take Patho for the extra 0.5 consideration, but the class is about $1,200, and I’m nervous about spending that much and still not getting accepted.
I’m applying to two nursing programs and honestly plan to go with whichever one accepts me first.
Has anyone gotten into UTA AO with around 7.6–8.0 points, especially outside of the major metro areas? Would you spend the $1,200 for Patho to get the extra points?

how many points (gpa + science gpa + additional considerations) did you guys have when you got accepted into nursing? do i have any chance with a 7.6 for the spring semester?? SIGHHHH

Can someone tell me a little bit about it? Like what will we be doing in “seminars?” Are the assignments difficult and are there exams?

We are honestly treated like a complete afterthought. From the long transfer process and the lack of advisors available to help ensure our credits transfer properly, to the obvious favoritism and advantages given to in house students, the entire process feels completely unfair.

The only thing that really works in my favor is that I work at a partnered hospital and I have a prior bachelors.

For instance, I’ve been trying to get in touch with an advisor for what feels like forever, with absolutely no success. You would think that as a transfer student, you would automatically be assigned an advisor or at least have someone available to help you navigate the process. Nope

I’m an AO student, I can’t just walk in and schedule an in person advisor

I was also told that the nursing school receives our transcripts TWO WEEKS after the school receives them, meaning I’m left waiting even longer just to see if my degree plan is updated. And it’s not even updated yet. I’m wasting so much time waiting on UTA that I couldn’t even start this semester or register because I don’t know what I’m missing, what transferred, or what I still need to complete.

I’m trying to apply for Fall 2027, so you would think there would be some urgency in helping transfer students understand exactly where they stand academically. Instead, I’m constantly having to track people down and figure things out on my own.

And to make matters worse, it took an entire MONTH for me to receive my acceptance into the actual school. I had to call multiple times before someone finally sent me something confirming my acceptance.

Trying to navigate this process as an external student has been an absolute nightmare. There is a huge difference between being a transfer student and being an in house student, and it’s frustrating because it feels like the system is designed around the students who are already there rather than those of us trying to transfer in.

I am a state certified CNA, no experience yet. Is it impossible to get a PCT job in a hospital without experience? I feel very qualified, I’m educated, have all certs needed, but keep getting auto rejected before I can even interview. Any tips?

I believe I remember seeing the S1 clinical being EITHER 7 or 14 weeks. Can someone shed some light on what the schedule is?

Hey, everyone!

My questions about the UTA Accelerated Online BSN seem silly, but everything online is so vague. I've attended an information session and they couldn't/wouldn't answer my questions, either. and they want me to wait until the last week of August to speak with someone in Admissions.

1. Do I need a Bachelors degree to apply to this program? Most of the online BSN programs require you to already have a degree and/or already be an RN.
2. Are ALL of the pre reqs offered online? A&P II, Microbio, Nutrition, Pathophysiology, etc?
   1. If so, are they accelerated?
3. Are the "Apply By 9/4/26" and "Start Class 9/28/26" dates for the pre-reqs or just for the nursing college students that have been accepted into the UTA nursing program?

Here's some context:

• I am prepping to apply for nursing schools for Summer and/or Fall 27 cohorts. I have a 4-6 pre-reqs left to do and my TEAS/HESI. Classes that I still need are: A&P II, microbio, statistics, nutrition. Depending on the nursing college, I might also need pathophysiology, and 1 or 2 psych classes.
• My personal circumstances have recently changed (getting a divorce after 21 years of marriage with 3 young kids, spouse is not an involved parent) and now I need to knock these last classes out online if at all possible.
• I live out of district for my local community college now that my spouse and I have separated, thus wanting to look at online pre-nursing classes at a 4 year university. If I'm going to pay "out of district" tuition rates, then I might as well go to a 4 year university.

Thank you in advance for any help!

I just received my first dose of hepatitis B August 1st. I won't have my second dose until september 1 st and plan on taking my second titer around that time or after . I do have a vaccine record. Would that be okay?
This is for spring 27

I have been looking for posts about Texoma. I’m just curious what the scores are looking like for that clinical site. If you have applied to Texoma, please comment below your stats. Thanks!
