twu spring 2012 applicants!

U.S.A. Texas

Hey guys! I wanted to start a forum for us twu spring 2012 hopefuls!

About me

I have a 3.2, yikes! :sofahider, and after this summer it should come up to a 3.6 or 7 and I am studying my butt off for the teas and will only have 3 more classes after that to take. I have gotten into the university as the first step, but I am so worried about getting into the nursing program, fingers crossed :uhoh3:

I talked to the TWU advisor and they said that if a 2nd degree student was not admitted into the weekend program, they automatically go into the traditional program. I know when I applied I was able to choose between the two but your best bet is to pick both. Also, there isn't a spring weekend anymore, just fall. I prefer the weekend program over the traditional but I will accept anything if given the opportunity:)

Hello my fellow TWU hopefulls!!

First, congratulations to all on such great GPA's and great TEAS V test scores!! :) I am also applying to the spring semester....very anxious! I have a 3.69 GPA currently, and am taking the TEAS in a week or two. I am very nervous..as most of you are...since november is SOOOOO far away ! :) good luck to everyone!!

Hi all,

This is my first time in here, too. I ll apply for TWU for Spring 2012. I am trying to find a study guide for teas V exam which I plan to take in August. I am very nervous, because I took it for the last semester, and couldnt pass it:( I dont want to buy online stuff bc it will take a long time to have it. Do I have to buy a specific book for teas V, or any teas exam study guide would be similar?

Any comment or info would help me. Thanks..

@ranza

I actually ordered my TEAS V study guide on the ATI testing site, it wasn't that expensive considering there is plenty material to study with and also a practice test at the end!! You could also use study guides like the ACt study guide or the NET study guide which I'm also using. You might also want to look online for free material to study just google it, I found a few things there too. Also you can check out websites such as half.com which sells used books. Good luck! If you need any more help feel free to ask!

Thanks Arnela,

I have hesi books, but I know they have different concepts. teas has more common sense questions -and I think easier than hesi except chem:)- hesi has more scientific and detail questions. I already took hesi and got 72. so i will take my chance with teas. At least teas passing score is 64. Anyway, I wrote a lot:) I just wanted to know if I can find a good study materials.

So, keep in touch..and good luck to you on your exam.:)

@ranaz

If you would like you can send me a message with your email address because I have a set of questions for the TEAS(science and reading) that is in PDF format and I could email them to you :) if you would like. Some material is better than none!!

Just let me know :)

@abranson02-

Thanks for the info! That's good to know:)

@ranaz-

The ATI study guide helped me a lot and from what I remember the format is pretty similar to the actual test. I know it's a pain ordering online, but I think it's worth it!

@ Ranaz

If you order on amazon it won't take that long, and you could also have expedited shipping. You can also try the Kaplan study guide.

Good luck

Hello TWU 2012 Applicants!

I am new to this online forum thing but I was excited to see others who are applying for spring 2012 to TWU. Are you guys applying to Dallas or Houston? So far, i have a 3.9 GPA with A's on first attempts for all the science courses, but my A and P I and II are transferred from another school and i don't know if i will get credit for them. I have not taken the teas yet, but i will be taking it in july. i am really nervous about being able to get in. I do not get the .4 gpa bump because i am not a twu student, well ive been accepted to the university but i am starting in fall. I will be taking patho and 3 other general ed classes. I heard that it is very hard to get accepted if your gpa is not around a 4.0, which i am hoping isnt true! anyway i hope we all get in!

Hey I haven't been on here in a while but it is good to know many of us have been sharing our experiences! I wanted to know who u are taking for patho? I will also be taking that this fall since I am done with all my pre-reqs! I'm taking the teas Aug 18th hopefully I score high! I'm worried about the grammar section because that is all I been hearing about; is how difficult that section is. & to answer your question, it just depends on the pool applying for the spring semester on how competitive it can get.

Hello TWU Dallas Spring 12 semester hopefuls!

I been a member since June but been super busy working two jobs and studying. Im excited but also nervous as August is approaching! Striving to score at least an 83% on the TEAS August 18th! At work studying right now but still on the science section :( does anyone know how the math section? I haven't heard much about it but the study manual provided basic concepts. We can do it TWU hopefuls!!!

Hi Arnela,

My e-mail adress is [email protected]. Pls e-mail me some stuff about teas. and also you can ask questions about exam.

Hi,

I received a letter from HCC Coleman saying that I was selected to enroll in RNSG 1301. Does anyone have receive something yet? Does that mean I was selected to the nursing program?

Thanks...
