twu spring 2012 applicants!

U.S.A. Texas

Hey guys! I wanted to start a forum for us twu spring 2012 hopefuls!

About me

I have a 3.2, yikes! :sofahider, and after this summer it should come up to a 3.6 or 7 and I am studying my butt off for the teas and will only have 3 more classes after that to take. I have gotten into the university as the first step, but I am so worried about getting into the nursing program, fingers crossed :uhoh3:

Oops, sorry. I am thinking more about gaining some experience before I start school so I am looking into CNA programs; definitely not trying to do one or the other. Nursing school is the priority. I am just trying to weigh the pros and cons given the time I have. I am not planning on working much during school. I guess I am just wondering, at the very least, if the course alone would be beneficial? Hmmm...I know we are all on our own journey so it's probably hard to say what is best...

@ Monkey,

I know some schools will give candidates extra consideration if they have their CNA. It would be good experience and it would give you a chance to work during school. I have thought about doing the same but still not sure if I am going to. Nela is right about course time.. some programs do not last very long so you can complete it in only a few weeks.

Also to everyone... I passed the new TWU Health building and it is sooo pretty:)

Monkey,

I am a med asst and I was recently looking into CNA positions with THR, the metroplex's dominant health care group, which I currently work for. I noticed that under the CNA/PCT requirements it stated current CNA licensure or completed one semester of clinicals in RN program. You might be able to save some money if that's the case. :)

Welcome! First of good luck on your TEAS in August. The most important part is to stay calm and dont really pay attention to the timer, because that will make you rush through your stuff! I actually took it for Fall 2011 for twu, and made a 85%. Even though i scored high, the testing center I took the test at sent out my score as a 56 to TWU. IT was a big mess, and when TWU emailed me that I tried to contact the testing center to straighten it out but they were closed. I only had a certain time ( i believe 4 days) to respond to twu so therefore my application was deemed ineligible. SO here I am again.

But about the exam itself, it wasn't that hard, I would concentrate on the science and math alot. The reading is straight forward and the grammar as well.

Thanks for the helpful tips! & that sucks that your scores that were sent were incorrect. But yeah timing is usually the issue for me. I've been on the science section for a while now studying lol; since I'm aware this may be the hardest section. I feel like I am even rushing to complete the study manual. Good luck with you!

I am applying for TWU for Spring 2012, too! I take my test on Tuesday (HESI on Monday). I'm really worried that I waited to late for the tests, but finances didn't permit me to register before now. I am also applying to UTH. My current GPA is a 4.0 Science with 1 retake (B to an A because I didn't feel like I truly learned the material, but it was an honors class so I don't feel too bad about it), and a 3.88 overall, no other re-takes. I'm worried about the test because people have been making me think it's really hard. Maybe it won't be. :/ Anyways, good luck to everyone!

Hi Taylor! I wish I could offer some reassurance on the HESI, but I only took the TEAS, which wasn't too bad in my opinion. Good luck to you as well!

Hi guys,

I took the TEAS V test today, but I have to wait 2 days for my score. Was this the normal process for all of you who took the test already? Can I apply for the nursing school now, or should I wait for my score.

Thanks and good luck to all of you!!!

They tell you that you'll have scores within two days, but mine were updated to my ATI transcript I think either in a few hours or early the next day. I just remember it was really quick.

You don't need to have your test scores to apply to the school. The earlier you apply, the better. You'll need time to react to make sure you have everything with your application in order before the deadline.
