TWU Nursing Applicants - Fall 2019

[marco_mariveles]

Just about a year early here, but I wanted to create a thread for Fall 2019 applicants. This is my first time joining a nursing forum; so, let's give it a shot.

Does anybody know about financial aid? According to the TWU website (Houston campus), it looks like Fall 2019 deadline has already passed. We can only apply for Spring 2020?

Hey! Where did you see this deadline? Online I just see "priority". I'm kinda freakin out now lol

Lol nothing wrong with not knowing. This will be career #2 (obviously) so I’m def keeping an open mind. In undergrad I thought I wanted to be a dentist so I’ve learned the staying open minded lesson a few times

I wanted to be a dentist in undergrad too!!

call the financial aid office they can advise you on what to do...if you haven't already you need to renew your FAFSA

I'm currently a nursing student at TWU, and I want to say I strongly recommend taking Pathophysiology before you start the program. It will save you a lot of time. The course can be taken online, and it's apparently really easy. If you are already accepted into the school, and you absolutely plan on completing the nursing program at TWU, I would take Pathophysiology.

I was accepted into the N&W program so we will take it online in the fall (if not in the summer)...do you think there would be a difference since its still online?

When signing one of the acceptance pages, it notes you can't register for classes until after orientation. ☹️ I plan to talk to an adviser regarding this

you can register once registration opens up....however the online course you need a code for

[jessthenotsonurseyet]

When you're accepted into the school, you should make your TWU pioneer portal account. You already have your email, and student ID number. Go to Self-Service, then Student Planning, find the course. Once you put it in your "schedule" there should be a green button on the left under the name of the course that says "register" or something like that.

If you have additional questions, I would contact the advisors.

I strongly recommend taking Pathophysiology before the program because some of your cohorts that did their prereqs at TWU already took it, and will already be ahead of you.

Remember guys, anybody can take Patho. As far as the course catalog goes, it’s just an upper level bio class. It’s required for nursing, but anyone can take it.
