Is anyone out there applying to TWU for the Fall of 2010? I got this idea from a previous thread and thought I should get one started for this semester, so that we can help each other and communicate with each other?
I have taken the Hesi-A2 and got a 74.8 on it so they didn't even look at my application. I live on campus so any help or information I can give just let me know. I'm excited and feel good about this deadline.
Dolsen, yeah I check back every now and then...and I got the email about a new post, so it sent me here.
If they don't offer patho in the summer in Houston, ask if you can register for the online section. Couldn't hurt. I just wish they'd let you transfer that course in....it's such a pain in the tushie.
Breakdowns...oh yes. Such a common occurance...especially with the disorganization this semester. Hopefully the instructors will have their stuff together next semester!
Hey guys...I have been accepted to TWU Fall 2011 and just wanted to pop in here and see if you guys had any information that you may want to share.
I'm curious how your 1st year is going. Especially as far as schedules. Are your semesters broken into 8wks or just the full semester? How far into it did you start your clinicals? Any online classes or should I expect to be on campus 5 days a week for the most part?
Thanks in advance for any peak into what is ahead for many of us!!!
Well Congrats! Which campus will you be on? I'm in Houston and I'm a first semester (J1). Txcatcher answered the questions very thoroughly, but I just wanted to add that I have pharm on Tuesdays 4-7 and Patho on Thursdays 5-9p. I originally thought the evening classes would be fine since I have historically enjoyed them. I was so wrong! It is sooooooo tough to have such clong classes. Tuesdays aren't that bad b/c that is my only class, but on Thurs I wake up at like 630 to be in Assessment lab from 9-1p! That's a long day. I live too far to go home during my 4 hr break so I am just stuck like chuck. It sucks. Not even gonna try and sugar coat it for you. Anyway, I'm on campus 5 days a week with an 1hr commute each way and I have Saturday clinical with pre-clinical on Fridays ( a no class day), so I have to still get up early and drive to Houston to pick my patient. Sigh! Oh well, so far so good. Just wanted you to have the whole pic. We all make it...well most of us?....so with hard work you will too! Good luck!
Thank you so much for all of the information...I am slowly but surely soaking it all in. So is your schedule the same for the whole semester? From Aug to Dec? I know many ADN programs change like every 8 wks so I was wondering that for a while now.
Thanks again for any and all feedback!!! And lots of luck and greatness for the remainder of your journey

The schedule at the beginning of the semester will always be different for the classes that you have a clinical. You will begin with labs that get you somewhat familiar with clinical applications. In your second semester your schedule will be flipped upside down for the first month. If you have a job hopefully you will be able to discuss with your employer the unpredictable schedule you will have during the beginning of each semester. Be prepared to be VERY unprepared especially if you are the type that likes to plan ahead for things. You won't truly know your set schedule until clinicals begin.
. I will get over it though as usual.
