My biggest piece of advice is don't freak out, (because I know I did). I was accepted for the Fall 2011 and my GPA was only 3.7 (while many had a 4.0). I also got a B in Micro AND A&P I (very high B's, but B's nevertheless). So I was CONVINCED I wasn't getting in. However, I went in to take the TEAS and scored somewhere in the 90's, which put me at the 99th percentile as far as the testing was concerned. So that was extremely helpful. From what I know from talking to other students that got in, none of them thought they would get accepted either. I used a general study aid for the TEAS test (that included help studying for other nursing entrance exams as well). Honestly, I barely studied at all and I really didn't find it all that difficult. However, if standardized testing isn't "your thing", doing a bunch of the practice problems in any TEAS study book would probably be really helpful. Just remember to BREATHE. All you can do is the best you can do :) GOOD LUCK!

Hey everyone!! My name is Candace and I'll be starting at the nursing school in August! I really wanna move to Dallas, but a roommate would really be helpful as far as bills and safety are concerned. If anyone is looking for a roommate to move close to the nursing school/dallas area, send me a message! I'm a clean, friendly person and will be spending the majority of my time engrossed in my studies for the next 2 years. Anyway, please let me know if any of you guys are interested :)

Oh i found it. Thanks!

I would LOVE to get patho out of the way this summer but I'm having a really hard time finding it on the online TWU registry. Is the class just full? Or is it possible to take patho at another school? Help!

I got the bump, and I'm prettyyyyyy sure that you have to have at least 30 or more hours at TWU to get it. But I could be wrong haha

Hey everyone! My name is Candace. Like Kristen, I'm still reeling from shock that I got in. I'm so, unbelievably excited Congratulations to everyone!

I got my acceptance letter yesterday at 4pm. Going to Dallas :) Tears of joy!

Boogie769, what school did you hear that from? That seems really late. Dangit

Yeah I'm pretty sure that time period is just referring to the time it will take for them to accept you into TCU's main school....I'm pretty sure that time line doesn't even involve the wait for nursing school. GAH. I hate waiting:uhoh3:

Does anyone know when we will hear back about our nursing applications? I really want to know whether or not I'm accepted, and even though it's only February 1st, the anticipation is KILLING ME!!!

Hey everyone! So my applications to TWU TCU and UTA nursing schools are all in! I will be applying to Midwestern as soon as their application period opens. I'm super, super nervous about getting in. I really just want to get in anywhere. My stats aren't the greatest considering I got 88-89's in most of my sciences. My stats are: GPA: 3.4 (3.8 at TWU with .4 pre reqs boost) HESI score: 90%ish composite TEAS V score: 87% composite I was just wondering if anyone has any experience with similar stats and I was wondering how much emphasis these schools put on their entrance exam scores. I was also wondering if these scores would be considered good. I'm really desperate for any support you guys want to throw at me. Anyway, good luck to everyone out there!

@TheCommuter, out of curiosity, how far of a drive was it for you from Ft. Worth to Murray State College? Must have been far!

Thank you!! :)

Thank you! You've been so helpful :) Looks like I might not be hopelessly lost after all!

So if I got my degree from this school in Oklahoma, would my RN still be applicable in Texas?
