    It does suck... but now we need to move on, re-group & make a new plan. Things will work out in the end. Just remember sometimes the things that mean the most, are the hardest to get... Maybe we...

    cabryan replied to saraiish's topic in Texas Nursing

    Itwould be nice to do that. I do think you have the option of taking the CNA exam after the first semester of nursing school. If you do that, it might get you in at a hospital somewhere & would...

    TWU is traditional Spring & Fall like Nela said. UT Arlington has an accelerated program, but they have a few different pre-reqs then TWU. They go year round & I think it totals 18 months.Not...

    cabryan replied to saraiish's topic in Texas Nursing

    Thanks for the info. I knew there were quite a few different hospitals that do stuff like that, but wasn't sure which ones. :-) That is why I want to get a certification so I can get in at a hospital...

    cabryan replied to saraiish's topic in Texas Nursing

    I know! That is why I can only do it if I get some scholarships and financial aid of some sort. As for the Collin CNA program, go to the Collin website, then type: /nursing next to the url...

    Holy cow! There are only 90 spots in Houston & 100 in Dallas... That is a lot of disappointed people out there. I guess they also had the pick of the litter too, with so many people. Congrats on...

  10. twu spring 2012 applicants!

    cabryan replied to saraiish's topic in Texas Nursing

    Nope, nothing. I guess the industry is exploding, but they have a lack of teachers for programs, so they have to keep things small. Bummer for us. Then again, I am glad they have high standards,...

    cabryan replied to saraiish's topic in Texas Nursing

    Bummer :-( Does that apply to Dallas as well? I actually applied there. I guess there is just no way to know is there? I have already come up with a new plan, but there is still a small speck of hope...

    cabryan replied to saraiish's topic in Texas Nursing

    FYI... if you live in Denton County, they do vaccines for $20 each at the health dept., this includes each Hep B shot, so it would be $60 for all 3... It is walk in basis and cash only. I called to...

    cabryan replied to saraiish's topic in Texas Nursing

    Did you see that really long post a few pages back? It was regarding new nursing students, I believe it was posted by a current student. I also know there are some forums for TWU from other people who...

    cabryan replied to saraiish's topic in Texas Nursing

    Each county has a health department, I would check into the health department in your county and see how much they charge. Like Dallas, they may offer a student discount. Worth a "shot"....ha ha

    cabryan replied to saraiish's topic in Texas Nursing

    I think you will have to wait for the packet. If you look at FAQ's on the Dallas Nursing section, it just takes you to the general list, but I am sure it is similar. Maybe make an appt this week to...

    cabryan replied to saraiish's topic in Texas Nursing

    Thank you :-) I appreciate it. I applied to Dallas. I am pretty sure I am not in the first batch, I doubt they are still sending emails today. But who knows, maybe I will be in the next batch, if some...

    How many people took their pre-reqs at TWU? I know you get a bump in gpa for that. I know there is no way to know for sure how they decide things, I was just curious. Also, how late in the day do you...
