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 should make a nursing school reject page... lol j/...

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 look good on your resume as well. Just a thought. Go...

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 sure if you are in the Dallas area or not.

Yes family is good, but makes it hard to be a student sometimes. Congrats to him for graduating. As for being 24, you are still young... trust me. Marriage is great, when you find the right person and you are sure of who you are as a person & are...

@nela87 You're welcome. hope it works... I know what you mean about getting older... I am already older. Have a kid that is almost in high school, am married etc. I am ready for a career & to actually be done with school. I have been taking class...

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 & hopefully get some help w/school & get s...

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 and hit enter. This should take you to the homepag...

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 UTMB :-)

Congrats on getting in both places what other place are you going to go? How do you know if you were wait listed, do they tell you that?

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, hopefully that will make a better nurse force. I didn't...

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 glimmering since I haven't heard yes or no. Good l...

What about the people that accepted while they were waiting to hear from another school? I read several posts for Houston people that accepted, but were waiting to hear from another school and would later reject the TWU offer if they got accepted to ...

Anyone else spontaneously hear the Jeopardy music playing in their head these days? Waiting is not good for the nerves or sanity... lol

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 check since I live up here. Way cheaper than my doct...

Is this for Dallas or Houston? Also, is it postal mail or email? Thanks for the update either way.:)

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 applied last year. there is probably some informa...

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 ha

Yeah I know there were a lot of applicants, they ahve a great program, reasonable costs too. I actually was working as basically a CNA for an assisted living place for the past 2 years while I was going to school full time. I may look into a CNA lice...

I am there with you. It is rough, my stomachs in knots. Sad thing is, we could be waiting all the way till December.

Hey learlady, I actually think I saw something on facebook for that already. TWU College of Nursing Spring 2012. Oh and congrats to you

It really does seem that making A's on first attempts is most important. There were people talking about being accepted in my Patho class today and they made A's on first attempts, but their TEAS scores were like 60 something....

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 meet with a financial aid advisor, it would probably...

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 people do not accept the offer. If it is not mean...

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 think they would be sending emails? Still waiting...
