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 what Multicultural Women's studies and Additional Math/Wellness courses are?

I got mine done at CVS, Walgreens has it as well.

I was thinking of going to CVS as well, but I just got mine done at my doctor's today. How long did it take for you to get your results?

Has anyone been able to get their flu shots? Everywhere I called, they say they ran out.

Didn’t the packet say not to get the flu shot until August?

I called both and they have said they have run out. I guess I'll try other locations.

Hope everyone has had a good Monday so far!

I have a sorta personal situation, and I don't expect anyone to know the answer but I figured I'd ask anyway. I'm just looking for any sort of advice/help. So I know we have the first part of orientation this Friday, May 3rd, but our second part of orientation is Friday, August 23rd. My problem is that I had already booked a flight for that weekend months before, even before we got our acceptance letters, and my flight leaves that day on Friday, August 23rd. I tried to see if I could change my flight, but they are charging me an insane amount to do so, so then I just figured I would cancel it, and turns out that they only cancel reservations that have been done within the past 24 hours, which doesn't apply to me. So basically, I'm screwed. Missing orientation isn't really an option for me as I'm worried that I will probably miss important information, details, etc. BUT missing this flight would mean missing my sister-in-law's bridal shower...and I'm the maid of honor. Sorry for the long essay, it just made sense to me to explain everything! lol!

Anyways, does anyone know what that orientation will cover? Is there a specific person that I could email/call in regards to this? Is missing this orientation even an option??

thanks so much for your help!

hey...i haven't heard ANYTHING about an 8/23 orientation only the mandatory one this Fri...I would email Dr. Echols or maybe the general nursing email and ask someone...where/when did you get info about orientation on 8/23 and which location are you attending?
