TWU Fall 2012 Weekend Program & Traditional

Published

Hello all!

I am currently in the process of applying to TWU's weekend program for Fall 2012 and I just wanted to start a new thread for any prospective TWU nursing students as well as current students!

For those of you who don't know, TWU has a weekend program for students with a previous bachelor degree in another field. From what I understand, if you are not selected for the weekend program, they will automatically consider you for the traditional program as well.

The minimum GPA requirement is 3.0 with the TEAS V entrance exam also required in order to apply..and of course you also have to complete the required pre-requisite courses.

Here is a link to the program for more information: http://www.twu.edu/nursing/weekend-program.asp

If anyone else has any more detailed information regarding this program, your input is certainly welcome. I hope this thread is helpful for anyone considering nursing school at TWU. :)

THis is the route I am looking to go. I didn't know that the minimum gpa was a 3.0, I plan on taking Nutrition this fall so that I will have all needed prereqs to apply. I haven't had a chance to study for the TEAS as of yet. I want to get the Hesi A2 out of the way since I hear it's easier.

Good luck and stay in touch, I've been waiting to hear from some TWU hopefuls.

Hey guys! I applied for the Spring 2012 program at TWU. Do you guys know if they automatically consider you for the weekend program if you don't get into the traditional program? I am also a 2nd degree seeking student. Thanks!

It may be a separate application, but I am not sure. Keep us posted on your outcome.

I will also be applying for the weekend program. I was supposed to start a second degree nursing program in Chicago last month, but my husband got a new gig in TX, so here we go again! Since I didn't do my undergrad in TX I have to take the government and history requirements, which is kind of a bummer. But I will do what I have to do! Good luck everyone, I am sure we will all be updating more as the deadline gets closer.

Hello all, I just took the Hesi A2 to apply to UTA and now I need to start studying for the Teas V. Has anyone taken it as of yet? If so what study guide did you use.

It appears that the UTA AP program is very intense and you cannot work. The TWU weekend program has all full time working folks. What's you take on the UTA accelerated program with working? I cannot afford to fail or quit my job.

I wanna apply for Fall 2012 and the only class I lack is Stats which I'm taking right now and Women studies but Stats is the main one I need to apply and its kicking my butt right now so I dunno =(

I was going to apply to TWU, but I am going to have to drop Nutrition. I can apply to UTA for Fall 2012 but the chances of getting accepted are highly unlikely. I'm trying to apply to Jr Colleges and if I get accepted to one of those I will jump on the chance and just do a RN to MSN.

Nutrition isn't a main pre-req to apply with though so you can still try to apply without it!

According to what I read it says that it is a pre-req that needs to be completed prior to applying. I hate that it's the only course keeping me from applying. I have all the other pre reqs. I will email someone for verification and if that's the case I will be mailing my application in ASAP, well after taking the TEAS V that is.

Hi,

I am also applying for Fall 2012.

Does anyone know if they will accept Pharmacology from either UTA or El Centro?

The adviser was supposed to get back with me, but I don't think she will in time for me to register.

Thanks!
