Is this for the NP program?

I just got accepted for the TWU NP program for Spring 2018. Has anyone taken just one class at a time? Is this allowed? I have a small daughter and work full-time. Don't want to miss out on too much on her day to day stuff and am in no real rush to graduate...Thanks!

I did last night! YAY!!!

Hello all! Happy to say that I am IN!!! El Centro campus! So unbelievably excited! See you all on the 20th!

Thank you all for your responses. Classicdame - Do you know how long the student must be in the program before they can apply through the Dept of Health? I am debating on going ahead and enrolling in a CNA course (4 weeks of night classes - $500), but if I don't have to wait too long before I can just request the cert. then I'll do that instead. I just want to be able get my foot in the door, which most places now require a CNA cert., and I don't want to have to wait until I'm two or three semesters in before I can start. Any suggestions?

Morgan, Did she respond to you by phone or email?

Anything about lowest points accepted?

CONGRATS Trang5891!!! Did they mention lowest points accepted? How many did you have?

CONGRATS tkb89! That is AMAZING news! Hopefully you will set the trend for good luck and good news for us all today! So you are accepting Tarrant County and not El Centro then?

KelliKelli, I bet they would! I would DEFINITELY be over there asking if I were you! I work in Arlington, otherwise I would be there at this very moment!!!

Glad I'm not the only one!

UGH! I just called. I am SO impatient! Letters have been sent and apparently they will be telling us how many points you had total and the lowest point total that was accepted. However, she wouldn't tell me that info over the phone! UGH!!!

Tkb89 - UGH! That makes me feel so much better! Good luck to all of us! Especially those of us in the low 20's! You high 20's are shoo-ins! :)

Nyknick - I'm in the Dallas area. Where are you applying?

Anyone applying have closer to 20 points? Seems like everyone on here has closer to 30! You geniuses!!! :) I have somewhere around 21/22, so I'm trying to be hopeful, yet still realistic.

Ahhhhhhhhhhh! Freaking out!

If they are coming from Tarrant County...when should we expect them? I was thinking like you kellikelli, that we'd be expecting them on Thursday or Friday.

Oh yeah, I am a total stalker of this thread and the site in general. Makes my anxiety worse, but I still can't stay away! UGH! Anyone know if they will TELL us over the phone tomorrow? Or Thursday? I wish there was an admissions website we could enter our student IDs and it would spit back a big, fat YES!!! in sparkly letters with confetti flying everywhere!

Troy M - Where did you apply?

It's Tuesday! Letters are being mailed tomorrow! Hopefully we will all get them on Thursday and they will all say YES!!!! Eeeek! So close now! Good luck to everyone!

Amen to that! I called El Centro today to see if they'd tell me anything, but no luck. Just said letters will be mailed on Wednesday and they are not releasing the points mimimum. HA! I keep thinking they will let something slip, but NOTHING! UGH!

WHAT??!!? What's an ed plan?!?! I got the degree audit if that's what you are talking about. But half of the classes I DID have weren't included on that thing the first time around, so I don't know how much I trust it. Plus there was that whole "provide documentation to have classes considered" aspect of the application, so who knows how much consideration they actually give those situations. Anywho...just have to wait it out, I guess. Thanks for the help! :)

MorganB - That's part of my problem (besides the waiting, which is AWFUL) is that I am not 100% sure how many points I actually had going in. Some of my transfer courses were ify because of prefixes not matching up and all that, so my points total could be +/- 2 points. I wish we could call in and find out exactly how many points we are being considered on our applications. Boo! Anyone have any new news???

Asho2087 - 24 was the highest they'd seen as of August 30th? That's awesome news! Did they tell you that when you called in - or do you trust your source? I'm sure there are higher now, as even just the few people on this post have higher than 24, but I would think that puts the rest of us who had just UNDER 24 in pretty good shape.

Hello all, I'm hoping to start an RN program in Jan. 2013 and want to get my CNA cert. so I can gain some experience while in school. I remember hearing that after so many semesters of school, you are considered a CNA. I wanted to a) verify if this is true and b) find out how many semesters it takes before you are eligible to apply for a CNA position. Assuming that it is true, I'm trying to decide if I should wait and get my CNA cert. through school or go ahead and take the CNA course before I even start the nursing program. CNA school is somewhat expensive and I am already about to spend a ton on the nursing program, so not sure what's the best route. By the way, I'm in Dallas, Texas...in case it varies by state. Thanks so much!
