I have every other prerequisite done at UTA but I want to take Chem and Patho at TCC

for j1, how many times a week is lec, clinicals, & lab also what days would each usually be?

Hello friends!

I start AO BSN program (DFW area) this Fall and I’m just trying to get an idea of what my schedule may look like. I’m worried I won’t be able to balance the AO program with work.

What was your clinical schedule? I’ve heard that some had weekend clinicals and exam on Thursday morning. Any feedback is greatly appreciated!

Based on my degree plan set by my advisor, I am on track to take Patho during Summer 2027. But I instead want to take it during spring 2027 so that I can get extra consideration points... Is it better to take it during a full semester or during the summer? (If I take it during a full semester, I will most likely be taking it with microbiology and psychology classes as my minor to maintain full time)

Hi everyone! I am going to be an incoming freshmen in the fall with lots of dual credit hours, so I don't have many credit hours left to qualify for extra consideration points. My only option would be to take Patho before I submit my application for 0.5 extra consideration points, but that option is forcing me to rush and possible squeeze in heavy science classes in the same semester.

I've heard transfer students not having a high chance due to the point ranking system, so now I'm conflicted. Should I just focus on my GPA or try to see if I can squeeze Patho in for the points?

Fall and Spring would look like this if I wanted to take Patho somehow:

Fall: Chem 1451, Nutrition, Medical Terminology, Promoting Healthy Lifestyles

Spring: Microbiology, Pathophysiology, Intro to Professions in Nursing, Psyc course for minior

Hey guys, I’m starting J1 this Fall and was wondering what key concepts and courses should I review and refresh my memory upon. I want to make sure I’m prepped and ready for classes!

Just as the title says. Wondering if any AO alternates have been fully accepted for fall 26

Hello, so what the title says I’m wanting to drop patho, as I really don’t think I’m gonna pass the next 3 exams working full time and being out for vacation. I did really bad on my first two exams, despite studying really hard and putting a lot of time and effort into the class. I emailed my advisor earlier this week and still waiting on a response, but if I were to drop Patho could I retake it in the fall at a community college? I don’t want to be on probation and pay for a class out of pocket that I don’t think I’ll pass. I also really don’t want to take it in person at UTA since I’m happy with my fall schedule right now.

To note I also applied for the Spring 2027 nursing program, so I still obviously have until September 1st to see if I even get in.

As the title says, I would love to understand what a day in the life looks like for you, especially if you are in DFW.

My husband and I are trying to make plans for next August, assuming I am accepted into the program this coming Jan 15 application. We have two small children and I am worried about how I will plan childcare, and what those hours/days will even look like.

Thank you!! You are always so helpful!

Question what what are my chances of being admitted I worked as a scrub tech prior to I had an accident last June and my gpa rn is a overall is 3.1

Has anyone been pulled off the waitlist? Not just as an alternate but fully admitted…I’m an alternate and the wait is killing me…

Any tips for doing well in OB?

Is waiting for Fall 2027 a good idea since I already finished my prerequisites? The only problem is I failed my teas and it pushed back a semester. Should I wait or try another school for Spring 2027?

Did you start your capstone in the beginning of the semester or the second half? how was your schedule? Just trying to see the variation in schedules

Hello! I am looking into starting the process of preparing to apply for the AO BSN program and was curious if anyone could speak to the employment outcomes typical in the DFW area for graduates from this program? I’m not very familiar with local hiring in this industry, coming from another career so was hoping for any additional insight!! Thanks in advance!!

hello! I'm paying for the program completely out of pocket and I'm trying to figure out the exact cost for the J1 semester. I know the tuition rate for the program but I was wondering if there's extra costs like for books. So far what I have for tuition for J1 cost is $5100, but I wanted to see if anyone knew around the exact cost?
