I could not for the life of me find a thread for people who were going to be going to Houston in the fall, so here we go.
I was going out for the fast track 2009 in Dallas, got denied and put back in the fall applicant pool, then BAM:D, got hit with the shocker last night when I got home from work that I had been accepted to the regular BSN program in Houston.
I'm really excited to start a new chapter and I thought this would be a good way to meet other members of the class before we get there. So shout out where you're from and your background so we can all get to know each other before August!
(P.S.- I've also been accepted to the community college in my hometown, which is closer, cheaper, and probably going to be easier, but I think it would be borderline offensive to turn down such an awesome offer, let me know what you think)
sorry I haven't been on here in a while. You can get any stethoscope you want just be sure to get a good one that you can hear good with. everyone has a littmann stethoschope of some kind though.
hi my twu houston friends!!! how is everything going?? yall had orientation already or no? have yall registered for classes? whats up with the summer patho? keep me updated!! im still here waiting to move to wichita falls. I got my apartment and everything and i register for classes on July 2nd. But orientation isnt until August 29th, so I'm just trying to stay focused but im sooo anxious.
I just got offered a slot at the Houston campus and I took it! I will be living with my sister in Galveston. Does anyone know of any transit? or commuter train that runs between the two cities? or Is there anyone wanting to rideshare? I have looked online and can't really find much. I have found some articles about a Galveston Houston passenger rail but I don't believe its running right now?
I am still waiting for paperwork, need to register, etc.
I am so excited! I Really didn't want to move (I live in DFW) but I don't think I should pass up the opportunity!
Unfortunately, I don't believe there is any way to get between galveston and houston except to drive. I'm pretty sure there isn't a bus route between the hou and gal. But hopefully youlll be able to carpool with someone. If you want we have created a facebook group for the fall students, it's called TWU Nursing Class of 2011
hows the fall schedule look? I still havent received my paperwork (I just found out yesterday). I'm not sure when our orientation is? Will we be having clinicals the first semester?
We have school on mondays, tuesdays, and thursdays. Then wheneever they assign you a clinical whcih I know nothing about. The orientation is goign to be August 28th I believe or the 27th and 28th
I was reading some posts ... and feel really out of the loop! have I missed a lot? Do you know how much the program costs? at least for the first year? What else we have to buy in addition to books and what are the books we need? how do i find that? I didn't see it on any posts. how many hours of clinicals/class we will be having?
I figure that they will go over this during orientation but if it is aug. 27th or 28th that doesn't leave me much time. I haven't even registered (which we do at orientation?)
You haven't missed that much, you'll catch up quick as soon as you get your packet. You gotta get a drug test, background check (fingerprint scan) and confirm you have all your immunizations, so that will be described in the packet. I dont get on here much and would love to talk to you so why don't you email me at [email protected] and I"ll be able to help you as much as I can
Hi rmg5353 congrats on getting accepted. Glad you found our thread. Orientation is on the 27th and 28th of Aug. The advisors during orientation can get u set up to to register for classes. If you still need a book list I can email it to you. Let me know if you need anymore help. Can't wait to meet you next month!
