   Me? I will have the minimum time requirement in ICU for TWU, of February of the year before the program. So basically 1.5 years at time of matriculation. BSN GPA: 4.0 (they made a big deal about that) GRE: 315 TNCC, PHN, along with a list of other b...

   ivaninhabar: I'll be at Colton this August. Aggie_nurse: I think the site does matter. Colton only take up to 11 tops, and they fill up immediately. I heard Mobile is one of the last sites? Just what I've heard. Call and ask. They are always willing ...

   Thank you. I didn't pursue Kaiser. I opted out of USC mainly for the drive, and I stopped the process with Kaiser for the same reason. It would have been too much with the commute and work, and moving closer isn't an option.

   I honestly couldn't be sure. I was just told that the TWU course is a "refresher," and you need to already have a basic knowledge. It is just to bring you up to speed and recall all the stuff you haven't used in a decade. And I don't know about peop...

   Progressive thinking has it dead on. The ~$140k is cost of attendance, and the ~$81k is cost of tuition. The difference is what you can get from your loans to supplement your bills. You don't have to take that much. When I did the math with the finan...

   I would call and check, but I think you are correct. I didn't know you had a chemistry course already. I was told the refresher course is very difficult. I suppose it depends on how comfortable you are. Ultimately, you can meet the requirements, but ...

   So I thought that their chem course was all I needed. I was informed that it will satisfy the requirement if you tool chem a long time ago and need to refresh. It is not a stand alone course. Kind of deceiving the way it is written on the site. I am ...

    Sounds like you have good experience. Your GPA is the only thing that isn't great. If you get your CCRN and do really well on your GRE, it will help overshadow that. My GRE was 315 and I had a 4.0, but I didn't do the CCRN and I had the minimum exper...

    Congratulations. I have a 45 minute commute. That's short in my eyes. Good luck with the move. It will come before you know it.

    Progressive thinking and Kimber1108, congratulations! I was told the start date is August 21st and that will be in Fort Worth for the first 2 weeks. That's 3 of us confirmed for Colton. Mi_top_rn, yes you need to know what the peep does, fio2, rate,...

    The acceptance email I was sent after the phone interview stated that I had to accept and pay my seat deposit within 14 days. I read before the deposit was $500, but mine was $1000.

    I have read that TWU is famous for pharm. They want to see that you know about the drugs, drips mostly, that you use most. Know the pharmacokinetics, what receptors they bind to, normal dosing and uses, etc. Have some idea of what to say about common...
