  1. Old lady with 3.92 trying for TWU

    jspacegirl replied to alliestar's topic in Texas Nursing

    You should be fine! I got accepted to TWU's fast-track BSN without having yet completed Texas Government and History I; I'm taking them this semester so they'll be done before classes start. The point...

  2. Why?????

    jspacegirl replied to Hillgirl's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It sounds like you took the NET. If so, the section with the "who, whom, that, which mess" doesn't count toward your overall NET score and nursing schools don't use it when they evaluate your...

  3. The dissecting thread has me worried...

    jspacegirl replied to couldntbhappier's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I took A&P I& II at a community college, and it was for non-science majors (aka, people who wanted to go into healthcare), so we didn't end up dissecting anything. During lab we just looked at...

  4. Do I need to pay for cheking my transcripts in TWU??

    jspacegirl replied to Polska's topic in Texas Nursing

    If you go to the college of nursing website, there's an Equivalency List you can download and it shows what courses at various area colleges will count for the TWU

    jspacegirl replied to amf1987's topic in Texas Nursing

    Ha, when I graduated with a (non-nursing) BA in 2003, I was praying for a job that would pay at least 30k!! Maybe the job market has changed a lot since then, but I was one of the only people I knew...

  6. TCU Accelerated BSN

    jspacegirl replied to premedturnednursing's topic in Texas Nursing

    Congrats to everyone! I also got in, but I'm declining since I already got into TWU's fast-track BSN. I didn't want to move back to FW and it's a lot cheaper than TCU. But I am a little sad, because...

  7. What are you doing to prepare yourself?

    jspacegirl posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Is anybody doing anything to "prepare" themselves for the gross stuff you'll potentially see when you start nursing school? I know a lot of us (myself included) are fascinated with the human body,...

  8. What are you doing to prepare yourself?

    jspacegirl replied to jspacegirl's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Oops, guess I didn't see the recent thread about squeamishness!! Anyway, in case anyone is curious about the sites I've been looking at, they are: http://www.mdchoice.com/photo/phototoc.asp That site...

  9. Looking to change career

    jspacegirl replied to jpgmavs's topic in Texas Nursing

    Sorry, I missed that you didn't have any prior college experience. In that case, go for the ADN, but like I said before GET

  10. Looking to change career

    jspacegirl replied to jpgmavs's topic in Texas Nursing

    JPG, I understand where you are coming from. Although I was 25 when I made the decision to quit my job and go back to school, I still felt like it was too late and I was starting from scratch. Despite...

  11. What are some cool nursing shoes?

    jspacegirl replied to GottaGetIn's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    Well, I'm not exactly afraid of getting worn out on the job; I've run a marathon (26.2 miles) and currently I wait tables at a busy pub, so I'm used to being on my feet a lot! The thing that starts...

  12. TWU Fast-Track: I got in!

    jspacegirl replied to jspacegirl's topic in Texas Nursing

    Congratulations! Go us!

  13. What are some cool nursing shoes?

    jspacegirl replied to GottaGetIn's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    I think I am going to get a pair of these MBT's: http://www.walkerswarehouse.com/store/product.asp?Product_Code=WM-7024&Category_Code=brand_wm They are really expensive and look kind of dorky,...

  14. TWU Fall '07

    jspacegirl replied to Lene_625's topic in Texas Nursing

    I don't think that they are sending them out until April; at least that's what they said during NET testing in January. Good

  15. So who is still waiting on a letter?

    jspacegirl replied to GottaGetIn's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm pretty new here; coincidentally I discovered the AllNurses forums last Tuesday in an attempt fuel my obsession about getting my acceptance letters. Reading about how everyone was on pins and...

  16. To those with acceptance letters...

    TWU Dallas Accelerated BSN May 2007 CAN'T WAIT!!! So

  17. Accelerated BSN Advice

    jspacegirl replied to jspacegirl's topic in General Students

    Hey Annabelle, Thanks for the advice! Especially about the study groups; normally I hate them, but it sounds like it might be a good idea for the ABSN program; I doubt there would be very many...

  18. A&P vs. Micro in summer

    jspacegirl replied to WorkofHeart8's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I would take A&P over the summer; I took A&PI during a summer I session and A&PII during a summer II session last year, and I thought it worked out well. Since there is so much...

  19. TWU Fast-Track: I got in!

    jspacegirl replied to jspacegirl's topic in Texas Nursing

    Thanks! And good luck to you, too, with getting into El Centro's program. After quitting my day job to go back to school, I had no idea how competitive nursing school was. I went to El Centro to...

  20. TWU Fast-Track: I got in!

    jspacegirl replied to jspacegirl's topic in Texas Nursing

    I'm betting the letters for the regular BSN won't go out until April, since that's what they kept telling us when I was there to take the NET in January. I assumed they were referring to the...
