   Go ahead and get your assessment book and workbook - these shouldn't change. This is also probably the only book you will NEED to read (and read again), the others make good references. The other books, feel free to wait on (you may never want them ...

   I wouldn't say they are all "required", they can do a bit overboard with the books. If you are good with reading texts, or like to have them for reference - here is are the ones I would (personally) recommend: Concepts - Potter and Perry (text only)...

   August orientation dates are the 21st and 22nd. For sure the 21st will be all day, the 22nd is usually 1/2 day. All your ordered supplies will be distributed at the end of the second day.

   There are CPR classes offered on campus through TNSA (a student org, not the school). Classes are being offered the Monday/Tuesday before classes start.

   I can't say for sure they do or don't... What I do know is that TWU looks at GPA (which Ws don't count toward) and they will look at some classes to see if you made a grade the first time you took them. I think they looked at A&P I/II, Micro an...

   Bicycle or motorcycle? There are bike racks by the garage exit, and I have even seen occasional motorcycles parked there as well.

   The different sections is just a thing for the university. Like you Lindsey was told, it doesn't matter. For the entire program, you don't get choices in the professors or times - everyone follows the same classes and class times with very little va...

   You should be fine. The biggest concern is you need to have everything done before you go to the hospital (~6 weeks after classes start). If you don't have everything by Friday, you can still fax everything to Denton for processing before classes s...

   Don't worry about the flu shot for this term. The flu shot for 2014-15 won't be available until around October, you will need it at that time. Also I found out that they are wanting titers (not just shot records) for the following: MMR, Varicella &a...

    There is only one building for TWU Houston. When you walk in, there will be people to direct you where to go. There is an attached parking garage which I think is 9$ for all day (no in/out). If you are feeling cheap, there is a lot behind the schoo...

    If I remember correctly - you only need your shot records, but things may have changed. I wouldn't worry about getting titers done right now if you have your records. As far as money for orientation (May 2) - You will have a chance to order uniform...

    Welcome to some of the mixed messaging of TWU... They want you to have all of your shots/titers done by orientation (with records). However this isn't realistic, so they will have someone on campus to help with things like TB and missing vaccinatio...

    I am pretty sure there were Fall start students that did. I was a spring start, so it wasn't an option for me. The class is technically a BIOL course, so you may be able to look at the registration in Dallas/Denton to see what is being offered outsi...

    The drug screen is done on campus one of the orientation days. I think it is the first day (May), but I am not 100% sure.

    Yes, you have the summers off. Which is good and bad. You can try to get externships (think paid internship) over the summer, work elsewhere or volunteer. You can also knock out electives (1 is required) and the women's course (if you aren't alrea...
