Mine was at Dallas. Everyone was so nice and it only took about an hour. Make sure you bring ALL your vaccine records if you can, including flu and covid. You also need to bring 2 forms of ID to verify your I-9. I took a drug test and they did a blood draw for a TB test. There's also a lot of paperwork to fill out. You'll also get your photo taken for your badge. Thank you, this makes me feel so much better!

Hi guys... I received and accepted an offer at Baylor. I had my employee health appt and did my tasks online. However I haven't been able to reach the recruiter who sent me the offer and I have not heard from anyone since I accepted the offer/went to my employee health appt. It's making me a little nervous... is anyone else having this experience?

Hi! I had the same problem a couple years ago and reached out to them and this is what they told me: 1. If they have been mentioned under a particular term then enter the same or else you can just enter them under the FRESHMAN term of your application. 2. Course code- N/A, course name- as per the transcripts or TEST CREDITS. 3. Subject- TEST CREDIT, credits- same as per your transcripts, Grades- CR. - again this was a couple years ago so it might be different. You might have to reach out to their support team. Good luck with your applications! :)

Wow!! Thank you so much, I loved reading your post. I had my rotations in a mother baby unit and now I am almost certain that is what I want to do. I say “almost” because I haven’t had my pediatric rotations yet… but after hearing a lot of insight from here and other nurses, I really do think mother baby is for me. I absolutely love it. Your day breakdown is very similar to what I’ve seen/done in clinical. Thank you again!

Hello! I had my first postpartum clinical and I LOVED it. Thank you so much, I really love hearing about everyones experience

Wow, thank you so so much for your response. This has has given me a lot to think about and consider. ☺️

Hello! I am a nursing student and was wondering if any mother/baby nurses and/or gen peds nurses could share their experiences. I am really interested in Mother/Baby (PP) nursing for many reasons. For one, I love the emphasis this unit has on patient education. I like how on this unit, patients are generally "well" so I do not imagine this to be an emotionally draining job. As you can see, I am not really interested in anything high acuity such as ICU. Also, I do not mind that this unit is heavily task/charting oriented! I am also really passionate about pediatrics, specifically gen peds. I must be honest though, I am naturally a very anxious person and painfully empathetic. I think I can handle many things, but seeing death in pediatrics I think would be particularly traumatizing. In all honesty, I also really love peds hem/onc but I just do not think I can handle the lows of the unit, and I am not even sure how I'd handle the lows of gen peds. I am not afraid of some poop, vomit, needles, blood, wounds, pee, or anything. I just don't wanna be emotionally drained and I want to be able to leave work at work. I would love to hear some insight/experience of nurses or other healthcare workers who have worked in these units. ?

Hello! The deadline to apply for Spring 2022 was August 15th. However, the deadline for Fall 2022 is February 1st, so you should definitely apply for that! Technically, you cannot apply to both Houston and Dallas. However, if applying for Dallas, there may be a box that you can check that basically says if you do not get into Dallas, you can be considered for Houston. Your GPA sounds great! I studied for the TEAS using the ATI TEAS study guide book and it helped me a LOT and had a lot of great strategies. TWU nursing used to be based entirely off admission scores, but that has actually changed and it's based off of other criteria as well. I am not entirely sure what that criteria is, perhaps things like volunteer work, so if you can get some hours in that would be helpful to you too. ?

I don’t think so! I have looked for one and I haven’t seen one yet

Yep, I just got an email today about the background check & fingerprinting!

Hi guys. I got my eligibility e-mail this Wednesday (March 10th). I applied for Dallas Traditional. Do not worry if you haven’t gotten your eligibility email!! From what I gather from the email I received, they’ll continue processing applications into April.

My last name starts with D, I applied for Dallas traditional and haven’t gotten my Eligibility letter yet either. I heard it doesn’t go in alphabetical order so I’m not too worried, aside from the anticipation!

I applied for Dallas Traditional and I’m still waiting on my eligibility letter. I am worried about not having enough credit hours (I have finished all required courses to apply & I have 50 credit hours, however not all of them are required for TWU so I may not have enough prerequisite credit hours?).

Maybe it’s because I’m a transfer student but I haven’t been able to find anyone who’s applying which is why I made this post. ?

I applied for the Traditional BSN. Did you apply for the masters program?

Hi! From the information I have gathered, this is what I think.. The eligibility email will be from sent to your email from the TWU Nursing advisors. I believe this should be sent to your personal email that you listed on your application. You will also receive an email from NursingCas saying your application has been "verified"; this just means that NursingCas has verified your transcripts on your application, it is different from the actual eligibility letter you'll receive from TWU.

Mine was verified as well, though this is just NursingCas verifying our transcripts. Still have to nervously wait for eligibility, ahhh!

Ah correct, I don't believe they do. I just applied for their regular 2 year program!

Hey guys! I have been waiting and waiting to find a forum with Texas State Fall 2021 / St Davids Nursing School Fall 2021 applicants and I CANNOT find one. If there is one, please let me know, but in the meantime I decided to make one. I am an external transfer student so I haven't been able to join any clubs or anything.

Hey guys. Did anyone else who applied to UTA happen to apply to Texas State? I haven't found a forum yet with people who applied there!

Hey! I am from TX. We have quite a few BSN programs. Most schools look at your overall GPA but focus mostly on your science GPA. TWU focuses mostly on your science GPA but also factors in other basic prereqs on a smaller scale I believe. Their program is based on a point system Here is a spreadsheet (possibly outdated) that you can use to estimate your admission points! https://twu.edu/media/documents/nursing/GPA-WS-2018.xlsx Other schools do it differently, for example UTA. UTA is also based on a point system and looks at your nursing GPA + your overall GPA. Every university is different. Sorry if this was confusing, let me know if you need me to clarify anything! I am also a pre-nursing student myself so my information is all second hand

Same thing is happening to me. I've sent in both my application to the school and the transcript. I've contacted them a couple times and they have told me it should take 7-10 business days to process the transcript. I am nervous I won't get admitted in time to apply to the program, but that's on me for applying late. Let me know if you hear back before Friday!

Hey! I am not from Cali but I did my first two years at a community college and want to transfer to a university for my BSN. The Texas schools are also highly competitive and most schools (including TWU) give large advantages to students who completed a certain number of credit hours at their institution. Transfer students to TWU would generally need around a 4.0 GPA and a high TEAS score. However, if you attend TWU and complete your prereqs there (such as anatomy 1/2, nutrition, psych, etc.) you'll have a higher chance!
