TWU Denton Vs. TWU DALLAS

Does anyone knows if there is any major differences between TWU Dallas and TWU Denton family nurse practitioner program. I know that the curriculum is the same but is there any differences in how the curriculum is taught, such as books, exams, clinicals. Does one have a higher success rate more than the other. At Dallas you can only start clinicals in January so if you miss or fall behind for some reason you have to wait till January to start clinicals. Any information is welcome. I am thinking about transfering from Dallas to Denton.

Hey, Nicola301975, I seen in a previous thread that you took advanced patho online during the summer. I am currently registered for this class and was wanting to know if you can give me any study tips?

Thanks

I want to apply to the program at Denton, as far as clinicals are concerned, can you give me an idea of the hours, how many days a week? I am wondering if I am going to be able to do this with my current work schedule. TIA

I'm at Dallas, and Denton is different, but I think (from a co-worker) Denton has clinicals during advanced assessment- I think it's just 9 hours or something. Otherwise, Family one and two are 90 hours a piece. Denton and Dallas seem to be different in the manner of teaching style, from what I can tell. The Dallas program is VERY self directed, with little actual teaching occurring, whereas the Denton program is a little more hands on (this from a preceptor who teaches at Denton). Either way, they follow the same curriculum and I would go to whichever one is closer for you.
