TWU Spring 2009

Published

Hello everyone just wanted to see if there were anymore hopeful spring 2009 applicants out there. I submitted my application already and just sitting back waiting till Nov when acceptance/rejection letters are sent out. I know they said for us to check out emails everyday in October. If anyone has been through the application process before please share your experience. Good luck to everyone :wink2:

Greetings all TWU applicants! I am one of the fortunate few who were accepted for Spring of '09. Dallas was my first choice but I did accept Houston as a back up. I didn't get into the Dallas campus so I'll be moving to Houston the 10th of January. Due to my location and work schedule I was unable to make the registration session on the 4th of December. I called ahead and spoke with the Director of Undergraduate Admissions and she sounded disappointed, but didn't kick me out of the program or anything. Was anybody else unable to attend? I've already registered for classes on my own and I already hold a BLS certification for my current job. Were books and uniforms the only other topics covered? Can anybody tell me the company that the TNSA uses to order scrubs? Anybody planning on working in a hospital while going to school, and, if so - any tips on finding a position that's class compatible?

I go to the dallas campus, so I can't speak totally for Houston, but I assume they are the same. As far as uniforms go, they don't care about the brands. I know a lot of people bought uniforms from TNSA and they didn't like the cut/fit. I bought my lab coat from TNSA, and the brand was Laundau for men. You also must wear white leather shoes with no color on them. Those were hard for some people to find, so you may want to look for those before school starts.

I went to our orientation a while ago, so I cant remember everything, but they talked about immunizations and clinicals quite a bit. We got our clinical schedule and got to meet our clinical instructors. Then they talked about classes and what to expect, and the books and supplies you need for the classes.

As far as jobs go, most of the hospitals require you to have at least 1 semester of clinical experience before they hire you as a tech or nursing student. Few people had jobs in my class the first semester because of the demands of classwork.
