Published

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:

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!!!

I feel like the study guide covered the math section really well...

Welcome! First of good luck on your TEAS in August. The most important part is to stay calm and dont really pay attention to the timer, because that will make you rush through your stuff! I actually took it for Fall 2011 for twu, and made a 85%. Even though i scored high, the testing center I took the test at sent out my score as a 56 to TWU. IT was a big mess, and when TWU emailed me that I tried to contact the testing center to straighten it out but they were closed. I only had a certain time ( i believe 4 days) to respond to twu so therefore my application was deemed ineligible. SO here I am again.

But about the exam itself, it wasn't that hard, I would concentrate on the science and math alot. The reading is straight forward and the grammar as well.

AHHHHH that is awful! I am speaking with Jeff (advisor) tomorrow and am going to make sure my TEAS score is correct! I'm sorry that happened, but hopefully this will be your time. It all happens for a reason. ♥

Yes it is veryyyy awfull! I was shocked honestly. But as you said it all happens for a reason. I sure hope that this will be my time!! :) I never thought of making sure that they have my test score correct at TWU because I mean how hard is it to send over the correct score. Good luck to you!! :) What center are you applying to btw?

Hi Arnela,

I could open your attachments thankfully, and scanned the questions...Seems harder than what I experienced in the exam for last semester. Also there were a lot of punnett Square questions, in other words, genes. Though I will study those materials that you sent me. I appreciated..:)

I know, right? I mean, they have to send a bazillion test scores...weird that there are errors like that. Thanks so much! You as well! I applied to Dallas for spring 2012, but will take fall also lol. Either way! Are you applying for Dallas as well?

@Nela 87. That does suck about your tests scores. Maybe I should call to verify they have my correct scores. Also, I called the advising secretary and she was able to answer some questions I had about my transcripts, but I still feel like I should schedule an advising appointment. I dunno...

Yeah it was something else that they messed it up, but I'm sure that's very rare, it just happened to be me. I was thinking of the same thing, calling and making an appointment with an advisor, but my boyfriend actually just graduated from TWU Dallas in May, and he said there was no reason to, as long as all your grades are up to date and they have your correct test scores, then your good to go.

Ok guys, I am having an internal conflict and was hoping for some input! So, currently, I am living in SLC, Utah and will obviously move back to TX if/when I am accepted for spring 2012. I was looking at becoming a CNA (which I think will be beneficial), BUT spring is only 5ish months away and by the time I take the course and clinicals, pass the exams and try to find a job (with no experience) I am worried that it would have been a waste of my time and money. I don't know. Any opinions??? Thanks! ♥

@Monkey

So you are considering taking a CNA program, prior to starting nursing school? CNA programs are relatively short depending on where you take them. Finding a job is the hard part in that. Your not trying to do one or the other are you? I would consider taking a CNA program ONLY if you want to work while you are in Nursing school, because as you say, if you are accepted it would be a waste of money if you dont plan on working much during your 2 years in Nursing school. Also you can always do the CNA program in November when you do find out if you have been accepted. I have found programs from 2 weeks to 2 months on CNA courses.

I'm not sure if i understood your question correctly.
