TWU Spring 2013 Applicants!

U.S.A. Texas

Published

Hello!:yeah:

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!

Hi everyone! I'm also planning on applying for SP2013 nursing program at TWU Dallas. I'm so glad I came across this forum. I'm so excited yet scared and nervous and anxious all at the same time. Especially with this semester coming to an end. I'm currently taking A&PII, Comp II, and American Literature. I'm doing great in the classes with A's. For the summer I plan on taking Women's Studies, Hist II, Medical Terminology, and retaking Comp I. I made a B the first time so I wanted to try and make than an A this time around. I'm hoping to take the entrance exam mid-summer or towards the end. I want to have ample time to study. I wish they gave us an exact study guide. =) Wouldn't that make our lives much easier? I heard the TEAS is so random. Especially the science portion. I hope everyone is doing well this semester and those who are taking the TEAS soon...GOODLUCK!!! :specs:

Hi! Have you heard about the ATI TEAS-V manual? I bought that to study for the TEAS with. I haven't started studying yet but I bought the book because I heard it was a superb way to study. I got it off of Amazon! Just thought maybe that would help you out a bit :)

Good luck for the rest of this semester! It's almost over, YAY!

Yes. I have that one and McGraw-Hill nursing entrance study guide also. AND a GED study guide. I'm not taking any chances. :) The GED book was only $21.95 and I've read on here that they have the science portion that we need to know for the TEAS V. Well an overview. Like physical science and earth science. I just want to prepare as much as I can because I don't want to wait any longer. :/ Do you know what the minimum GPA they are looking for? So anxious for this semester to be over with! 2 more weeks!!!! Hope everything is going great for you. Maybe we'll get to see each other in class for Spring. =)

Hi, all,I am applying to TWU Houston Spring 2013. I have submitted my application. I will finish my 46 pre-req credit hours this summer. I have taken TEAS V. So I am almost ready. I am so excited to join this group and go through the journey together. Good luck to us all!

The GED study guide is a great idea! I keep forgetting that I need to prepare myself for physical and earth science - and I haven't taken that since before/during high school!

No I don't know the minimum GPA :( I went to an information session at the Dallas campus over spring break but she basically said that as long as you had a 3.5 you were competitive...and ideally to have a greater GPA than that if possible.

Classes are going superb for me, just ready to have it over with, as I'm sure you know ;) And yes, hopefully we'll both be accepted and in class together!!!!!

Isn't it so exciting and scary at the same time?! Good luck this summer!! :D

Hi guys I am considering apply for this app period at TWU! Does anyone know if Pharm and Patho transfer to TWU from UTA??

The application to the nursing program has opened in Pioneer Portal today. So those who are ready can apply now.

Hey Ladies! I am not applying for Spring 2013 but I am interested in Fall 2013. I am wondering if you all could help me with a question. I just decided that I was going to try for the second degree BSN a few days ago. My problem is that I won't finish my pre-reqs until the fall and the grades will be posted in December. TWU request that the transcripts be submitted by December 1st for the Feb 1st deadline. Does anyone know if this is a hard deadline? That means that no student taking pre-reqs in the fall would be able to apply.

The ATI book is the one you need. Seriously. There were some very identical questions on the test and it teaches you every little trick you need to know and nothing more.

I look forward to meeting most of you in the spring! (I'm starting in the fall)

I think as a general rule, they don't, but I've heard that TWU has made exceptions before. I would call the nursing advisors on the Denton campus to ask them, they would probably either be able to answer your question or direct you to someone who could. :)

I don't know for sure if that is a hard rule, but I wouldn't think it would be, because I honestly don't think they even begin looking at applications until after the Feb 1st deadline. But just to be sure I would call and ask an advisor or an admissions coordinator.
