TWU Spring 2010

U.S.A. Texas

Published

Is anyone out there applying to TWU for the Spring of 2010? Just thought that I would start a group for all of us hopefuls so we could share information and have a way to communicate with each other.

Have you taken your HESI A2 yet? Have you taken all of your pre-reqs? If not, what do you have left to take?

I have taken all of my pre-reqs, and I just took my HESI yesterday. I didn't think it was bad at all, but I prepared for it for about 3 weeks.

If you haven't noticed, TWU has made some slight changes that I think some people will not be happy with. They are taking into consideration the first grade made at pre-req attempts for several of the classes like A&P, micro, and another class. What do you think of this? I wonder how it will change the applicants chances of getting in?

Good luck and I look forward to meeting you!

i was considering tcu for awhile, but changed my mind after talking to someone in admissions from the school. i am part of an organization called "future aggie nurses" here at A&M, and one of the things they do is bring in people from different nursing schools to talk to us about their programs and the admissions process. i'm very glad they do this, because it saved me a lot of time and money. the rep informed us that at tcu their students get priority, meaning if a freshman at tcu is a prenursing major, all they have to do is complete all their prerequisites successfully and maintain a certain GPA, and they are automatically admitted to the nursing school to take their upper division courses. so the number of transfers all depends on how many current students they have that are eligible. she even said that the previous semester they admitted NO transfer students because they simply didn't have space since they had so many eligible current students.

here is where it says that on the website in case anybody was wondering:

Freshman students interested in the nursing program must first be accepted to the university and begin studies with general education course work. Once a continuing nursing student has completed all the prerequisites for the nursing major and has no more than 12 hours of University core requirements (UCR) remaining, the continuing nursing student is eligible to begin nursing courses. All nursing majors must maintain a TCU GPA of at least 2.5.

The number of transfer students admitted to the first semester of clinical courses each semester varies with the qualifications of the applicant pool and school resources. If you have questions, please do not hesitate to contact the Harris College Nursing office at 817-257-7651.

Hi everyone, I was just wondering if anyone has ever thought of TCU or Baylor for their nursing program? I am also waiting for spring 2010 and wondered why no one ever speak of their nursing program.

And is anyone taking patho in denton, I could use a buddy to study with.

I am taking Patho in Denton if you want to get together sometime!

Hey 2nd degree Moms and other pre nursing friends, I had Patho with McCarther in Spring of 2009. If you have questions or concerns don't hesitate to ask:wink2: I found the course to be the hardest course yet as it puts everything all together and you really need to have a working knowledge of the systems forwards and backwards. Currently I am taking Spanish 1013 for enrichment, if anyone has any tips they would be greatly appreciated!

SuperSweet, funny that you're taking Span 1013 'cause I was registered for it and then dropped it when I found out that TWU actually offers a Medical Terminology course. Amazingly it was under the Health Sciences degree and I've never seen it before. I still definately want to take Spanish and will probably do so next summer (assuming I'm in nursing school by then) because I feel that anyone who's going to be a nurse in Texas needs to be able to communicate with the large spanish-speaking population we have in this state.

OK, I do have a question about ********s tests, how in-depth and detailed are the questions. Our first test is next Monday and she's going to post the review today. What do you suggest studying? Review, Study Guide chapters, her chapter notes or read the book 3 times like she suggests. I'm at a loss as to where to begin.

Thanks for any help you can give.
