Hey

Thought we can start a thread for all who are starting in jan at TWU.

I just recieved my acceptance letter yesterday. Very exited. Would appreciate any input from seniors at TWU.

Congrats! I'm a senior there - feel free to ask me any questions you can think of!

I was wondering if i will have to take all 5 classes as stated. or can i take patho in summer? what would you suggest?

Hey guys,

I applied to TWU-Houston for Spring of 07 and I haven't heard anything yet. I feel sorry for the mail man, he probably thinks I'm stalking him by the way I run like a wild woman to the mail box every day! Eeeekkkkkkkkk... where is that mail man?!?!?!

Hey i am new to this thread. Just recieved my letter for spring 07. Please do not be alarmed if you have not received your letter. a friend of mine received her rejection letter 2 weeks ago. so keep your fingers crossed you letter may be on its way. oh by the way, my whole neighboorhood also must be thinking that i was crazy running to the mail box upto 3 times a day!!!! best of luck

If patho is taken in the summer, it's usually the summer before you start the nursing program - I don't know anyone who started the program then took patho the following summer. The first semester seems like a lot, but you'll only have clinical one day a week (and you start in Feb, I think) so it *is* doable!

Get a planner and stay organized! Don't get too behind on reading (you will get behind though because it's impossible to read everything), remember it WILL get better and nursing school doesn't last forever, don't judge nursing as a career by clinicals, do make time for yourself to have fun, always carry a few extra pens (for clinicals and class)...and.. erm... that's all I can think of right now.

Stay organize, plan ahead, for patho if u have dr. da cunha study the notes only, he breaks down path to an elementary level and i never used the book. He is one of the best teachers. Pharm the same thing the notes, i would definitely read the book for assessment and therapeutic but that is just my opinion. Have fun and try to learn how to manage your time.
