Hello, my name's Tien and I'm going to apply for TWU Houston Fall 14'. I noticed there's a topic for Dallas but none for Houston so I'm starting this one, hoping it will be a place for us hopeful applicants to come and share information.

BTW, my stats are: GPA 3.892, TEAS V 85.3%, 2/4 first attempt, and previous BA in Business. I'm scared b/c of my "1st attempt" since I see most that got in have 3 or 4/4 :nailbiting:...

So, welcome and good luck to us all!!! :):):)

Do we only need the titers if we dont have records?! And also how much money do you recommend bringing the day of orientation or are we just ordering?

If I remember correctly - you only need your shot records, but things may have changed. I wouldn't worry about getting titers done right now if you have your records.

As far as money for orientation (May 2) -

You will have a chance to order uniforms, supplies (stethoscopes, etc...), sign up for CPR and sign up for Tx Nursing Student Association (TNSA). Everyone accepts credit/debit, but depending on what you choose to purchase it can be a few hundred dollars but you aren't required to purchase anything that day.

The drug screens will be completed during an orientation day. I think last year they did them on the first day - so May 2nd for you all.

So on May 2nd is there like a specific building/room # where the orientation is held at? I have never been down to twu-Houston campus before sorry and is there a visitors parking space ?

There is only one building for TWU Houston. When you walk in, there will be people to direct you where to go.

There is an attached parking garage which I think is 9$ for all day (no in/out). If you are feeling cheap, there is a lot behind the school on Main (Lam lot) for 5$. Found this googling, not sure of how accurate it is: http://www.twu.edu/downloads/student-life-houston/Parking_Garage.pdf

is anyone else having problems getting the flu vaccine. Every where I have called they have been out and I know the season ends in May and starts back in August so would it be ok to do it then?

Don't worry about the flu shot for this term. The flu shot for 2014-15 won't be available until around October, you will need it at that time.

Also I found out that they are wanting titers (not just shot records) for the following:

MMR, Varicella & Hep B and then you need an antibody screen for Hep C

There is a place to get your Hep B and C for free close to campus if you have issues getting those done.

Immunizations - TWU Student Health Services - Texas Woman's University

I got all the titers done this week but I'm not sure my doctor has gotten the results yet. Therefore, he can't fill out the form so do you know if that's a problem!? They are confusing me by saying " we will discuss titers the day of orientation"!

You should be fine. The biggest concern is you need to have everything done before you go to the hospital (~6 weeks after classes start). If you don't have everything by Friday, you can still fax everything to Denton for processing before classes start (or drop it off on campus if you are local).

Trust me when I say you won't be alone, but you will want to get it taken care of before classes start.

And for the immunizations, I just got done as much as I could and will just confirm the rest tomorrow. I already emailed them to TWU and my records have already been updated in the system, they are on top of it!

and by that do they mean your personal records or the form they sent for us to fill out ?!
