fence,

i too am reapplying to twu but for a different reason, i withdrew my application b/c of personal reasons. however, i am taking the ccrn and obtaining some other certifications in addition to my acls and pals ie. tncc. plus, i just started working in a larger hospital that sees a wider scope of patients than where i came from like, ventriculostomies, open hearts, etc. i feel like this will make me a lot more competitive than when i applied this year. i can also take this year to pay off a few more bills, one less thing i have to worry about while i'm in school.

I heard TWU is getting like 120 to 150 next year. That's a great chance of getting there next year.

Good luck to you both.

XIGRIS thanks for the encouragement. It is greatly appreciated.

Glad to hear that you are reapplying to TWU, but have you considered TCU? I am in my first semester there and I love it. If you have any concerns about this new program, I would be happy to address them. Good Luck!

My gosh! we are in the same boat!!! I applied last year at twu and newman. This year I will add tcu to the list.. What I am doing to prep- taking an online a&p class (4credit hours in 8 weeks..tough!), studying to take the ccrn (also attended and recommend the review class), enrolling in a refresher chem class for the spring, and have made hundreds of rediculous note cards. Some of which I have bound in books or filed so that I can feel organized. I pray a lot, got a cheaper car, paying of credit cards, eating more pbj, and learning self hypnosis for relaxation. Also, making a real effort to do special family stuff... and hired someone to clean my house once a month to free up my time.

pm me and maybe we can compare notes further!

I have everything into TWU, TCU and Newman U for next year except taking the ccrn. I hope to do that in January. I feel alot better about my chances this year. I did not leave my position though I did however move to the day shift where things are a little more hectic. I am not sure if this will help. I do feel like on days I have had alot more experience with fresh surgical patients.

tcrn it sounds like you have a solid plan for preparing. I to need to get rid of an expensive car to something more reasonable. I am also hoping to pick up a chem class next semester to refresh my brain. I wish you luck with your applications. I will tell you the interview I had at TCU was really great. The Dean and the Director of the program TCU made it very relaxed.

Hi Fence, Just curious, how small is the ICU you have worked for? what type? how many beds do they have?

Hello to all.. I too will probably be reapplying next year.. I really wanted to go this year but have been turned down by three schools only one more out there and they interview in march for jan 2005 start.. I have not heard from them yet. My plan is to take a graduate class this fall and move closer to the schools I plan to reapply to. Wish you all luck... :rolleyes:
