TWU Houston Fall 2009

Hi Everyone,

I just got offered a slot at the Houston campus and I took it! I will be living with my sister in Galveston. Does anyone know of any transit? or commuter train that runs between the two cities? or Is there anyone wanting to rideshare? I have looked online and can't really find much. I have found some articles about a Galveston Houston passenger rail but I don't believe its running right now?

I am still waiting for paperwork, need to register, etc.

I am so excited! I Really didn't want to move (I live in DFW) but I don't think I should pass up the opportunity!

Thanks!!

Congrats!
Unfortunately, I don't believe there is any way to get between galveston and houston except to drive. I'm pretty sure there isn't a bus route between the hou and gal. But hopefully youlll be able to carpool with someone. If you want we have created a facebook group for the fall students, it's called TWU Nursing Class of 2011

Nhoward,
hows the fall schedule look? I still havent received my paperwork (I just found out yesterday). I'm not sure when our orientation is? Will we be having clinicals the first semester?

Thanks!

We have school on mondays, tuesdays, and thursdays. Then wheneever they assign you a clinical whcih I know nothing about. The orientation is goign to be August 28th I believe or the 27th and 28th

Ok, i'm kinda freaking out.

I was reading some posts ... and feel really out of the loop! have I missed a lot? Do you know how much the program costs? at least for the first year? What else we have to buy in addition to books and what are the books we need? how do i find that? I didn't see it on any posts. how many hours of clinicals/class we will be having?
I figure that they will go over this during orientation but if it is aug. 27th or 28th that doesn't leave me much time. I haven't even registered (which we do at orientation?)

AAAAHHHH! LOL.

Thanks for any info!!!

You haven't missed that much, you'll catch up quick as soon as you get your packet. You gotta get a drug test, background check (fingerprint scan) and confirm you have all your immunizations, so that will be described in the packet. I dont get on here much and would love to talk to you so why don't you email me at nichowards12@yahoo.com and I"ll be able to help you as much as I can

Hi rmg5353 congrats on getting accepted. Glad you found our thread. Orientation is on the 27th and 28th of Aug. The advisors during orientation can get u set up to to register for classes. If you still need a book list I can email it to you. Let me know if you need anymore help. Can't wait to meet you next month!

You do have a clinical course the first semester.

Are there any other late comers on the board? We are supposed to be having an advisement session this next monday to register, etc. Did you guys buy your own scrubs? I think I am going to do that... I know of a place (Uniform Factory Outlet) that sells namebrand scrubs at a decent price (white top/ maroon bottom, right?)
Then we have orientation on the 27th and 28th (I'm assuming thats for everyone)?

Thanks guys! Can't wait for this semester.... its a combination of nervousness and anxiousness....

Princess--How'd that Patho class turn out for you??? (Lost your e-mail address...So shoot me an e-mail and tell me about it!)
