I've just finished 40 sem hrs at TWU and I am heading to Denver, CO for residency in 4 days!! TWU requires MS Word, Excel, and Power Point. Don't need Ppt so much for presentations as you do to print up your professor's lectures. Definitely don't buy any APA software yet. This is not an MSN program and we didn't do ANY research what-so-ever! (the MAIN reason why I chose TWU) Unfortunately though, I'm hearing rumors that your Professional Aspects of Nurse Anesthesia II class will require some research next year. Not sure about that though. Good luck. Any questions let me know. Post on "Texas Wesleyan Students, lend me your ear" thread (please) K
