Thanks! For some reason when I searched fb it kept telling me that the group didnt exist!

I may be slow, but I'm not finding the Dallas group on FB. Can someone please PM me with it? thx!

I work full time, yes. My undergrad is in Sociology, and I have an MBA, so I did have to take the prereqs at a community college. They were thorough, and tough, but I made sure to go at a decent pace so neither my grades nor my work suffered. I can't...

From the website: The Dallas Center will offer a six-semester full-time program for people holding a bachelors or master's degree in other fields who want to become registered nurses (RNs). The program plan leading to a baccalaureate degree in nur...

The TRE stops probably just a couple of blocks from TWU in Dallas. I used to work at UTSW, and could see TWU from the train when it left the station.

And you could study on the rail.

Not a single mom, but I have two kids of my own (2 and almost 5) and a stepchild (just turned 18).

I'll be at the Dallas campus (evening/weekend program). From work, its about 10-15 minutes. From home on the weekends, it will be about 30 minutes. No problem. I'll just be commuting to Dallas 7 days a week instead of 5.

I want to know too - weekend or traditional? I'm weekend, and I'm trying to band us together before hand so that we can support each other!

Thanks - I'm excited, scared and really, really ready for this to happen.

I can only assume that the selection process is the same as the regular program. My stats are back on this thread, but here you go: I have a 3.9 GPA in my prereqs, 4/4 A's and a 94 on the TEAS V. I also have a previous bachelors degree and an MBA.

No - it was Feb 1 like everyone else. I turned in everything on Jan 3, and I was emailing them back and forth last fall to be sure that my non-science prereqs were right, so they didn't have to vet anything with me during the actual application revie...

I'm IN! For the Weekend/Evening program at Dallas! Let the madness begin!

Thanks for sharing your blog - definitely looking forward to reading more!

I've applied to the Dallas Campus, but the Evening/Weekend program. I will be working 5 days a week at my full time job as I'm the breadwinner in my family, but that's why I want the evening/weekend program. My stats are earlier in the thread, but I ...

It only took a couple of days for me, but I applied in the middle of a semester.

If you're applying to TWU, there are instructions in the Nursing section about how to go about taking the TEAS V. You cannot take it at home, you must take it at a PSI testing location. It costs $110 to take and there are only a few test dates betwee...

I did about 7. Just submitted my application. Now I can plan to be a nervous wreck from Feb 1 on. :)

I've been reading around the forums here and it seems like people score 4-7 points higher on the real exam than their practice ones. I haven't seen anyone who did worse.

Thanks! I'm applying to the weekend/evening program which is only at the Dallas campus. Crossing my fingers!

I took the TEAS yesterday, and I was totally not expecting to see a score until Thursday. I just got a confirmation via email that my scores have already been sent to TWU. ... I'm in shock - I got a 94 overall. I used the ATI manual to study and co...

Or email. They were super responsive when I asked about the classes that I needed to count towards my prereqs from my previous degrees.

I started hunting through previous threads when I didn't see an answer right away - thanks! I get it now. Hm. Based on that, I don't know. I don't remember what I got in either my undergraduate or my graduate stats classes. For A&P 1&2, and M...

I've seen 1/4 A's and 2/4 A's and 3/4 A's with the words "first attempt" next to them, and at the risk of sounding dumb, I have no idea what that means. I'd be happy to answer your question if you can explain that! :)

Thanks! My mom always told me to be a nurse - flexible hours, decent pay, etc. I always thought I didn't want to be responsible for the health and welfare of another person. Then my daughter came along and I thought - what was I so afraid of?
