Is anyone out there applying to TWU for the Spring of 2010? Just thought that I would start a group for all of us hopefuls so we could share information and have a way to communicate with each other.
Have you taken your HESI A2 yet? Have you taken all of your pre-reqs? If not, what do you have left to take?
I have taken all of my pre-reqs, and I just took my HESI yesterday. I didn't think it was bad at all, but I prepared for it for about 3 weeks.
If you haven't noticed, TWU has made some slight changes that I think some people will not be happy with. They are taking into consideration the first grade made at pre-req attempts for several of the classes like A&P, micro, and another class. What do you think of this? I wonder how it will change the applicants chances of getting in?
Just out of curiosity - those of you who made it in to the weekend program, did you apply for both the weekend and the regular program? So do you now have your choice between the 2, and you have to let them know by the 23rd which one you are doing? I am just wondering how it all works. Thanks!
Atleast we all know now that it takes 1 day to get the snail mail after emails are received. Last semester, those who didn't get an acceptance email got their rejection letters shortly after. Not fun.
I applied for both programs.I got the email for the weekend.They said if you get letter for the weekend,you will not be considered for the regular.I called to ask if i can get in for the regular.I was told i have to decline the current offer and i will be considered for the regular just like the 300 hundred eligible applicants.No GUARANTEE...I am so confused right now ...don't want to miss out on both ends but a little concern about online classes for pharmacology and pathio...any suggestion pls?
Chizzyann, I think the question I would ask is "can I take the regular program or not?" and then ask yourself if you have a 4.0 or better with a Hesi of at least 80 or higher. In my opinion (not anything I've heard) I would think that those scores would give you reason to think that you could probably get into the regular program. I know that I've been told that GPAs in the 3.8 - 3.9 range are typically what they accept, so for instance knowing that you have a 4.0 or higher you can reasonably expect to get in. However, not a guarantee and you have to be able to accept the possibility that you might not get in. It's a hard decision, and not one I would want to make. With the program being only on weekends, I would think that it would give you more time to study (unless you have other obligations, i.e. a job).
I will say a quick one for you and hope that you have something to help you base your decision on that's a little more concrete than what I've given you here. :)
Are both pharmocology and pathopsyhiology online? Girls...what is the title of the Patho book...so I can start looking at buying books...Its gonna be expenskink...(my son says that..he's 4).
Potential weekenders - I understand your concern about taking Patho online, but honestly, I am taking it right now, and the lecture doesn't help all that much. I think you could do fine in an online Patho class, if you are dedicated to studying. I can't comment on Pharmacology, though, because I haven't taken it yet. I think Goopsy has - Goopsy, what do you think about Pharm online? Did you take it online, or in class? You did ok taking it over the summer right? Good luck figuring it all out, guys! I bought my Patho book on Amazon, and it was slightly cheaper than the TWU bookstore. The one we are using this semester is Pathophysiology: The Biologic Basis for Disease in Adults and Children by McCance. It's the 5th edition. (although our professor admitted that she was using an older edition teacher's manual, so if I were you I would check to see if it was cool to buy the older edition to save $$) I would def verify with a prof before purchasing it, just in case they plan on making a switch before next semester.
Plasma, if you go to the nursing website and click on weekend program,then click on degree plan...its stated there that 8 of the classes will be online.I spoke with the Doc in charge of the weekend program who confirmed that patho and pharm. will be online and any course that ends with a 2.Basically, the total course work is 16 and 8 will be online.The regulars will also take 2 classes online with us too.
