TWU Spring 2010

OK, I have a question. Has there ever been a Dallas campus TWU (not Denton) open house to view the facilities or anything like that? If there was I guess I missed it. I would love know some "tour" type things, but I guess maybe we'll be getting an orientation since we'll be going there? Maybe? Right?

I don't think so. The Houston website has dates and times. But I noticed the Dallas one does not. Everytime, in the past, that I have called TWU Dallas and ask about an open house, I was told it would be a group of students that can ask questions. Both times when I went to this "open house" it was an individual one-on-one review of GPA, HESI, etc with TWU Dallas faculty or the secretary. I don't know if, at orientation, there will be one...good question to ask.

Patho material is killing meeeee...I spent way to much time this week focusing on when acceptance letters were going to be mailed. yikes.

Yeah, I don't think they have "open houses" either. When I asked about a tour of the Dallas campus before I applied, they told me point blank they weren't giving tours bc they are building a new building.

I hear you on Patho, Goopsy. I shot myself in the foot this time. I haven't spent nearly the time studying that I did for the last test. I was too caught up in anxiety about acceptance as well. Oh, well.

Ladies, There is a orientation day/time for the new incoming students. I remember when I had Patho at Dallas that the students were allowed to leave early to attend the session. This is where they give us the low down on everything and we can ask questions. I am strictly going off of what a friend who entered in Fall 09, told me!

Study, study, study! I have a test today too! So hard to focus when SO MUch Excitement!!!

So how long do you guys think it will take for us to get our packets and find out when the orientation is? This week? Next week? I NEED TO KNOW! lol

Have any weekend people gotten one yet?

Good luck on your test SuperSweet

I received my packet for the weekend program Saturday.

Regarding orientation, I was checking previous blogs and from there I came to know that spring students had their orientation on dec 4. Now I am also making list what things will be require for programme (like scrubs, shoes,wrist watch,digital recorders) and from where we can get this in best prices. I dont know but some one was mentioning that CON require to buy us white leather shoes with no print on them.

ANY inputs?

I have no idea about the shoes I went to an orientation for a different school and they said they just wanted white shoes (did not have to be leather and that the logo could be on there but very small/limited). I don't know if TWU is that lenient.

...and I was wondering what the color of the pants is called exactly (I have been looking a little online and there are a few different shades of the maroon color). I'm trying to get ahead and spread out how I am spending money (cause there is going to be a lot of money spent!)

I emailed asking about that and was told burgundy pants, white top, white shoes with TWU patches on the shirts. The burgundy color is sometimes called wine.

does anybody know if TWU Houston has any kind of work study program that is affiliated with hospitals in the med center? I talked to my interviewer at UTHSC about theirs, i have attached what is says about it online:

Work/Study/Scholarship (W/S/S) Program is designed to allow students to work as unlicensed personnel in various institutions throughout the Texas Medical Center.

Benefits:

Students get paid for the time they work

Students receive $500.00 per semester

Students attend professional nursing seminars

Students receive one (1) hour of elective credit for each semester enrolled in the program

Institution Involved in the Program:

Texas Children's Hospital

St. Lukes' Episcopal Hospital

University of Texas M.D. Anderson Cancer Center

does anybody know what happens if you accept TWU's offer, but back out afterwards? is there a deposit that we will lose? i wish they sent out all this information when we got our acceptance emails

I think they send the information packets once you accept the offer. I think they try to save $$ that way.
