TWU Spring 2013 Applicants!

[ambrekai]

Hello!

I know it's pretty early to be starting this forum, but I just wanted to put my voice out there and see if there is anyone else out there hoping to join TWU's nursing program in the spring of 2013? What are you taking this semester (spring 2012), and when are you taking the TEAS-V entrance exam?

After this spring semester of taking microbiology, chemistry, developmental psychology, and statistics, I'll be ready to apply before the September 1st deadline! I'm hoping to take the entrance exam in the summer - probably June or July.

So yeah, I just wanted to see who else was out there!

Hello all! I am new to this so I apologize in advance. I am in DESPERATE need of advice. My goal has always been to attend TWU-Houston or UT Health Science-Houston to obtain a BSN. I am currently attending Lonestar College for my pre-reqs and my overall gpa is 3.1 and my grades in science courses are not good. I got a "C" the first time I took biology and then a "B" the second time. I got a "C" in Microbiology and in Statistics. I withdrew the first time from AP 1 and then got a "D" the second time. I feel discouraged but I also don't want to give up. I just don't know if I am being unrealistic. I plan to retake AP 1 Microbiology, and Statistics. However, I would like to hear from any current TWU or UT Health students. Has anyone been in my situation? Will retaking the courses even matter? I just don't know if it will all be for nothing. Did anyone with a similar situation get in? This whole time I was set on becoming a nurse so I don't even know what other degree I could pursue.[/quote']

I would call the school and ask what the cut off was for grades. And see if you can reach that when you retake your courses. Also why not try getting into an associate's program then bridging over to Bsn or another school. Keep ask your options open, good luck.
