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.
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. :)
I created a thread asking my question before I saw this thread...what are the differences between TWU (Houston campus) and UT Houston? I'm applying to both and (not saying I will :rolleyes:) but IF I get in to both, how do I choose? This may be a silly question but I'm really curious. Thanks for any info!
Hey everyone. I'm also applying to the TWU Fall 2012 Nursing program. I'm so nervous! I really don't think my GPA is good enough and I still need to schedule a date to take my TEAS. :/ ah, stress!
I am also a former applicant, I was denied for Fall of 2012, I have a GPA of 3.73 and I am re-taking my TEAS for a better score, I had a 69! There were over 800 applicants for the last semester, it was crazy! If anyone has any questions, feel free to ask me, since I have gone through it last semester! Everyone just make sure to apply and take your TEAS by February 1st! Also, make sure to study for the TEAS!
I'm not sure whats going on, maybe not alot of people are applying???!! Or nobody wants to talk about it :) lol I am REAPPLYING. As I stated above before, I have a 3.72 GPA and am retaking the TEAS in a week or so, I am here to help anyone who has any questions since I have gone through it last semester! :) Wish everyone good luck! Post your stats so we can all compare!
I was going to apply to TWU but didn't take Nutrition in time. I am now trying to get into an ADN program and will do either a RN to BSN or RN to MSN after I am done. I am going to take the TEAS on the 24th of this month January. The school I am applying to only requires the reading comprehension part so I only have to worry about that section.
I was going to take Patho and Pharm at UTA but after looking at the ADN program I won't need to take it just yet. I wish you all the best but I have decided to go a more economical route as well as a quicker route for me. If I wait around to get accepted into a four year program I will be waiting a few years seeing as though I would have to retake some courses that I have B's in to bring up my GPA.
My only question is what program is so many people applying to? The weekend or traditional..or both
Also I have 2 of the 4 preferences for sure. I got an A in Micro (lec and lab) and an A in Stats. In AP 1 and 2, I got an A in lecture and a B in lab... we had some of the worst T.A.'s for lab so I don't get the pref for AP 1 or 2.
