I wanted a job upon graduation. I ran cross country my first 1.5 years and UT had a great athletic program. Any major I switched to would have a good program as well, which is part of why I chose UT over another school with a good running program.
Course Curriculum :
Some of it is useless but other parts were useful. I use the pathology background that I learned in school but I hardly ever use any nursing theory. We are to follow the hospital recovery protocol so on my floor I am told which care plan to implement.
Placement :
Good for nurses because we are in demand, however, if you cannot get a residency program you're kind of out of luck. I was lucky to get one and most people do. For other majors, it's much more difficult to get a job.
Fees :
There were so many fees in nursing school, on top of the extra money spent on scrubs (that were poor quality), nursing supplies and textbooks.
Examination Structure :
Mostly multiple choice or select all that apply, which mimics our licensure exam. So I would say they did a good job of preparing us for the NCLEX in terms of the exam format. The length wasn't too long or too short.
Faculty :
Some are great, others made me want to drop out of college/transfer the heck out of UT. I feel like it's like that at any college though. There were enough profs that actually cared about us to keep us motivated.
