1. TWU NPs or RN-MS students networking?

   Kat5 replied to 3wishes's topic in NP Students

   Congrats, missdeevah! So exciting! The first 20 hours or so are online, so I think you would be fine unless baby comes early =). Up till now, I have deliberately only taken 1 class a semester so I could still have a life outside of school, and it ...

2. TWU NPs or RN-MS students networking?

   Kat5 replied to 3wishes's topic in NP Students

   I am a Denton FNP student, and I took Patho online out of Houston. My understanding is that you have to have a pretty good reason (ie long distance from campus) and it's on a space-available basis - ie, "home campus" students get first available sea...

3. Advanced Education Nurse Traineeship

   Kat5 replied to fenton61's topic in NP Students

   I have received this grant the past 3 semesters. It is given to APN students who are interested in primary care and/or working in an underserved area. There isn't a payback or work requirement. At my school, funds are credited about 10 days befor...

5. TWU in Denton NP Program OR UTA NP Program

   Kat5 replied to missvictoriat's topic in NP Students

   When I applied I had to apply to one program (FNP) and one campus (Dallas, Denton, or Houston). The first 20 hours are the same for all the NP programs and for the Nursing Ed program. At one point early on I considered switching to nursing ed. I ...

   Nicola30195, just checking with you to see how the class is going. I am taking the online course this fall. Can you tell me the required textbooks? Thanks!

7. TWU in Denton NP Program OR UTA NP Program

   Kat5 replied to missvictoriat's topic in NP Students

   Karen313, Yes, I've looked at the class schedule on Pioneer Portal. From what I can tell, I will be able to keep my job as-is until I get to Adv Assessment. I would like to think I could convince my boss to let me off every other Wednesday, but I'm...

8. TWU in Denton NP Program OR UTA NP Program

   Kat5 replied to missvictoriat's topic in NP Students

   Karen313, Both programs have great reputations. I finished my RN-BSN at UTA and was overall very pleased. It would have been a no-brainer for me to just stay on and do UTA's FNP program...IF I lived closer to campus and/or had a more flexible sched...

9. TWU in Denton NP Program OR UTA NP Program

   Kat5 replied to missvictoriat's topic in NP Students

   TCUgirl15 and Karen313, I just got accepted to the TWU's FNP program (Denton campus). Well, at least I think I did...it says "accepted" on my Pioneer Portal page, but I haven't received anything in the mail yet. So I don't know if I'm invited to t...
