TWU Fall 2010

[Nurse J0RDAN]

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.

Good luck and I look forward to meeting you!

Who are you? (in a non-confrontational voice)

I sit front row, usually first seat to the right of the aisle (if you're facing the podium). I also pretty much sit front row during tutoring.

Missmoe27- have you tried the pancakes at Chacho's? Oddly enough, my doctor said they have really good pancakes....I've never been but will have to give it a try. I too love margaritas...margs and I are besties :yelclap:

WHAT!?!!? Pancakes at Chachos!! You have got to be kinding me.:eek: I have had their whole menu (it seems) but the pancakes...never!! Even more shocking is that your DOCTOR suggested pancakes to you!! I must go back for the pancakes!! They upped their menu about a year ago...wings and mega nachos were added...maybe that is when they sneaked in the pancakes!! I have to pay more attention to details.

Totally off subject but...this dancing baby is hilarious! Babies that get their groove on...how obsurd!!

Oh okay, I'm pretty sure I know who you are.

Should one of us email our professor and confirm that we'll be going over the test on Thursday at 3:00? We asked her pretty casually so I think she may forget to make time for it.

I think I just wanted to post the longest message possible. Get ready....

students may wear scrub or uniform tops that comply with hospital rules and

which are consistent with what is worn in the clinical agency.

2. Identification - pins/patches: Must be worn on uniform and lab coats. The TWU

patch is to be worn on the left sleeve of the uniform and lab coat. The name pin is

followed by "S.N." (Student Nurse) or "R.N." (Registered Nurse) whichever

applies. Student Nurse may be spelled out on the second line of the name pin.

should be observed for preclinical visits.

7. Laboratory Coats: A white lab coat with TWU patch and name pin is to be worn

over street clothes when the student is in the hospital on school business other

some clinical areas.
