I know it's pretty early to be starting this forum, but I just wanted to put my voice out there and see if there is anyone else out there hoping to join TWU's nursing program in the spring of 2013? What are you taking this semester (spring 2012), and when are you taking the TEAS-V entrance exam?
After this spring semester of taking microbiology, chemistry, developmental psychology, and statistics, I'll be ready to apply before the September 1st deadline! I'm hoping to take the entrance exam in the summer - probably June or July.
So yeah, I just wanted to see who else was out there!
Hello all! Congratulations to all of you who got accepted, I know you are super relieved/excited. And good luck to those who are waiting to hear. I was just wondering, for those who are going to the Dallas campus, how far away does everyone live from the campus? I know traffic in the morning in that area is CRAZY so I'm deciding if I need to move closer to campus, but I'm sure a lot of people are going to be commuting a ways to get to school too. How far is everyone driving to get to school? Thanks!!
I live in Frisco (29 miles one way) but have decided to move closer to campus/hospitals. I am transferring my lease to a complex off of Oaklawn so my commute will be 5 mins! MUCH better than the 45 mins I was going to have to face. YUCK! Also, I heard J2 we will be doing really long shifts for L&D. I have a dog and that just wont work with living so far to let him out. I'm scared to be living downtown but I think it will help a lot with school. What are you leaning towards??
For those of you who applied to both UTHSC and TWU, did you think the HESI A2 was harder or much different than the TEAS? I'm actually considering applying even though it would mean moving...
I found the HESI to be much easier just because there is only an A & P section for science instead of being so broad. I prepared for both the same amount of time and bought the study material for both but made a 94% culm. Score on HESI & 74% on TEAS.
So I think I have decided to go to uthsc and I will decline twu even though I have already sent my acceptance for TWU. So that will open up a spot for someone for the Houston campus.
Yay! I got my acceptance letter today! My stats are 3.95GPA, 3 of the 4 first attempts, 80% on the TEAS-V. Thank you to everyone for keeping me motivated! Oh and I was 3rd on the list!
