SuperSweet, funny that you're taking Span 1013 'cause I was registered for it and then dropped it when I found out that TWU actually offers a Medical Terminology course. Amazingly it was under the...
Well as far as what you "need" as experience vs. what is required those are two different things. I am not an NP, not even a nurse yet, but I am already planning my graduate program and how work will...

OK, Goopsy and Elizabelle, I'll be in Patho class tomorrow and will have my cream colored fleece jacket with me (either on the back of the chair or on my body). So look for

Elizabelle, you're right. As my dh says "Keep your own weather" (it's a Franklin Covey thing) and I really try to remember that. I think today it's just hitting me harder than usual since I'm not...

You guys are going to be flabbergasted, but I haven't checked it yet today. I'm trying to put it out of my mind. I guess I should right? BTW Elizabelle, my dh and I are very open to relocating too....

BTW, how many of you ladies on here plan on going further than the BSN at TWU? I plan on it, especially if the job market for new grads hasn't opened up a bit in the next 2 years. I KNOW that I will...

Anny, oh my gosh, the reason that I decided to go into nursing (as my second career) is because my own therapist warned me about the saturated market in the therapist role and the difficulties in...

Goopsy, if you get in to both TWU and UTA what are going to pick? I thought about trying for UTA but there were classes that I was going to have to take that would mean I would have to go to school...

Elizabelle, I too thought about just yelling out "Goopsy, Elizabelle where are you?". But then I usually sit with my "guy" friends and they would have looked at me like I was possessed. :) We'll...

I am not a nurse (yet), but I have delivered a baby in a family friendly hospital and loved the experience. Considering I was there for 4 full days for the experience (c-section) I really appreciated...

OK, I just FREAKED out!!!! I went to the mailbox and there was letter in there addressed to "my name" and Family from TWU. I almost had a heart attack. Yes, seriously for a split second I was like...

Goopsy, yep that was me. I almost dropped my jaw when Megan said she had trust-fund baby friends. I got there at about 7:50 this morning and was able to park in front of the building if that helps...
Espo44, you are not alone. I am going to turn 40 in 3 weeks and I have just completed my pre-reqs and have a 5 year old. I did NOT make As in every class, but I did enough to make sure that I met the...

Goopsy and Elizabelle - OK, so where were you two sitting in class today? I was sitting on the right side 3 rows back on the aisle. You can pretty much pick me out 'cause I'm the one with the cream...

I was going to take Spanish, but now I'm thinking that I may drop it and take a 2 hour Medical Terminology class that's online. It would save me from having to drive to Denton twice a

I think the reason not many are interested is because it is really EVERY single weekend for the duration of the program. I believe it's all day both days (might not have that completely right, but...
