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?
Ali523,If i were you...unless i have so much time on my hand,then i will.Otherwise i wouldn't.since you have already applied to the school and if taken,you will likely accept the offer unless you have other options.This is my opinion though.....
that's the thing, I have applied to TWU in Houston and UT Health Science Center in Houston, my #1 was always UTHSC, but now that I've had months to just sit and think about it I may be leaning more towards TWU. i had time to look around UTHSC, talk to faculty and get a feel for it when i was there for my interview last month, but i haven't been able to do that with TWU. does anyone who has been to the Houson open house have a suggestion?
has anyone else applied to UTHSC as well? i believe kimmy88 did because i've seen you post on both threads. which school would you choose if you were accepted to both? the only reason i'm leaning towards twu is because UTHSC's program is four consecutive semesters, and i think i would like a summer without school for once. i would love to hear other opinions about this!
hey TWU weekenders. About getting opinions, you might have more luck starting a new thread asking for current student's opinions and title the thread TWU Weekend Program. Don't get me wrong-you are more than welcome to keep chatting here, but you might get more hits from other people/students too.
About touring the Houston campus, I would...especially if you have already seen the other school's facility. Let us know if you decide to go see it!
I agree with Goopsy, I would go see the Houston center. For me, the place where I'm going to be spending a lot of my time really matters to me, it makes difference. So definately check it out.
My first degree is in biology. I was premed, but I decided to go into nursing because my husband and I would love to start a family soon and I would still be in the medical field, and it won't take as long. I'm really excited to be back in school and finally get my career started!
childofgrace, your story is exactly like mine. Premed bio major turned nursing. Married, and would like kids sometime within the next 2 to 3 years. Good luck to you!
Hi ali523, I am applying to the TWU Houston campus. I understand what you are sayign about UT-Houston.I decided not to even bother applying there because of that exact reason as well.Since they just beginning their first Spring semester next semester,it's like they are trying to rush everyone to finish at the same time as the people who started this fall. Nursing school is already tough enough and jamming it into 1 1/2 is kind of ridiculous.So, I personally looked more programs like TWU that are two years programs.Also, the amount people trying to get in is ridiculous!It's like a High GPA and a pretty good NET score just isn't enough these days!

Just as note of interest for weekend Dallas... I talked to the coordinator for the undergrad weekend program in Dallas. She said the Admissions office should send her the information about a week after the 23rd deadline. She will send the packets out sometime after that. She also mentioned an open house sometime in December that will be at night some time and will be talked about in the packet. This can also be seen on the Weekend thread I mentioned earlier...
