Hey everyone I hope everyone is well! I wanted to ask for some opinions or comments. Honestly, I am currently taking NURS3363 and am a transfer student to UTA. I was hoping to get some overall opinions. I have a 3.5 GPA and a 4.0 in sciences. I have 4 C’s in HIST 1301, 1302, and a government class. I’m not sure, but I spoke to an advisor who told me to prepare for the worst, asa transfer it made me kind of discouraged and lowered my expectations which I completely understand that it's realistic I'm not mad or anything. Students or anyone else. Is it realistic for me to get in by Spring 2027? I am not partnered. I applied as a PCT with no experience and was rejected like 15 times. I had one interview but wasn’t able to land the job. Any opinions? Is it realistic without being partnered? If not, any tips? I’m in the Austin area, not DFW.

Edit : I also don't have a previous bachelors

Hey everyone, I wanted to see if I could get some advice or opinions.

I’m currently trying to get into Ascension in Austin for a PCT job. I’ve applied to over 20 positions and keep getting rejected.

At one point, I applied for a night shift PCT job without realizing it was nights. I apologized to the recruiter and explained that I’m in school full-time and really need a day shift. She told me I could call back anytime if I became interested in that position.

After thinking about it, I called back the following Monday but didn’t hear anything for about a week and a half. Then she reached out and offered me an interview for a pulmonary PCT position the next day. I went to the interview and felt like it went well. I did mention that I couldn’t work weekends because of school, and a friend later told me that might have hurt my chances.

About 10 days later, my application status changed to “not selected.”

For context, I have almost 3 years of substitute teaching experience in different classrooms and with various disabilities, along with front office experience. I also included that I’ve been working part-time as a nanny for nearly 3 years. I am also BLS certified, but I understand that I don’t yet have bedside or hospital experience.

Despite this, I keep getting rejected from PCT roles at Ascension. I even recently applied for a front office position and was rejected in less than 24 hours.

I also tried reaching out to the recruiter to thank her for the interview and ask for feedback or tips, but I didn’t receive a response. At this point, I’m just wondering if there’s something I should be doing differently or focusing on. Any advice or suggestions would be really appreciated
