TWU Spring 2010

[goopsy]

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!

Elizabelle, yeah I've been reading those summaries too and trying to commit them to memory. But thanks for the reminder.

What time do you have to pick the kids up? Maybe you can get them to bed early and still have some study time. Good luck.

[goopsy]

Good luck to you guys. I'll make sure to read the summaries.

Online Patho is for people in the RN-BSN program.Trust me I've tried to get into the online one in Dallas or Denton campus,because I live in Houston and the TWU campus here doesn't allow people that aren't already in the nursing program to take the class on campus.

Mau00 that sucks to not be able to take the class outside of the program. I don't know what I would be doing if I had to take this class with the rest of the classes I'm supposed to take that first semester. Good luck getting in.

Well,I'm taking Patho at another college,but it's a community college since I couldn't do it at TWU.The thing is is that TWU used to allow prenursing student to take it on campus here,but I guess the rules changed for only the nursing student. I was really hoping I could take it at TWU in person,but even though this pathophysiology class I'm in doesn't even slighty equal the level to TWU's patho it's at least better to be some type of background information to help me so at least I'm familiar with the material when I have to take patho again our 1st semester,if I get into the nursing program.It's better than nothing.

Thanks, good luck to you too!

Since you're taking it at a community college will they take it as a transfer?

[RNJD77]

I don't think so,usually those type of classes that are upper diviision nursing school classes will not transfer from a community college,but I will still try to see if it will although I doubt they will take it.

So.... how do you feel about that test? I actually felt pretty decent. I think I have figured out the appropriate studying strategy. I hope my grade reflects that!!! Hope everyone did well!

[goopsy]

Man, you finished fast lol! I don't know how I did. I think I did well. I guess I'll find out once she posts around 3pm or so. That's what I like about this class-that she tells us our grades the same day and not a week and a half later like some other classes I've been in.

[elizabelle]

Ha! Yeah, I either knew it or I didn't, so I went pretty quickly. Also I was rushing to get back to my mom's to pick up my little ones, so I had to bail as soon as I was done, instead of going back and rethinking answers like I would normally. I definitely felt more confident than I did on the last test!

[butterfly journey]

I felt pretty good about it. I don't know that I can say that I've figured out the studying part yet, only because she said this was the easier test of the semester, but I did feel like I knew more of the information rather than guessing on 70% of it like last time.
