    Me? I will have the minimum time requirement in ICU for TWU, of February of the year before the program. So basically 1.5 years at time of matriculation. BSN GPA: 4.0 (they made a big deal about...

    ivaninhabar: I'll be at Colton this August. Aggie_nurse: I think the site does matter. Colton only take up to 11 tops, and they fill up immediately. I heard Mobile is one of the last sites? Just what...

    Thank you. I didn't pursue Kaiser. I opted out of USC mainly for the drive, and I stopped the process with Kaiser for the same reason. It would have been too much with the commute and work, and moving...

    I honestly couldn't be sure. I was just told that the TWU course is a "refresher," and you need to already have a basic knowledge. It is just to bring you up to speed and recall all the stuff you...

    Progressive thinking has it dead on. The ~$140k is cost of attendance, and the ~$81k is cost of tuition. The difference is what you can get from your loans to supplement your bills. You don't have to...

    I would call and check, but I think you are correct. I didn't know you had a chemistry course already. I was told the refresher course is very difficult. I suppose it depends on how comfortable you...

    So I thought that their chem course was all I needed. I was informed that it will satisfy the requirement if you tool chem a long time ago and need to refresh. It is not a stand alone course. Kind of...

    Sounds like you have good experience. Your GPA is the only thing that isn't great. If you get your CCRN and do really well on your GRE, it will help overshadow that. My GRE was 315 and I had a 4.0,...

    I have read that TWU is famous for pharm. They want to see that you know about the drugs, drips mostly, that you use most. Know the pharmacokinetics, what receptors they bind to, normal dosing and...

    This is the same conflict I am having with TWU Colton and USC. This will be the first year USC is offering a DNAP. Although the drive and work schedule will be murderous on me to go there. TWU is only...

    Haha, I was impressed myself! I asked why I was "so qualified." They said it was the entire application as a whole. -BSN GPA: 4.0 -GRE: 315 -I meet their exact minimum ICU experience of starting ICU...
