What is TWU like?

I have only been going to the Denton campus for pre-reqs, and just got accepted to the Dallas campus.

I have only seen the Houston campus from the outside. It is very new. That's really all that I know! I'm sorry! I'm sure someone with more information about the Houston campus will come along and post.

I would suggest looking at the TWU website some more to get a better idea.

I really like TWU Houston. The instructors (for the most part) are very helpful and want to see the students succeed. The clinical sites vary, but most are in the Med center. I have my clinical site at Ben Taub. Our building is brand new, they only thing is that the studying space is limited. There are 4 study rooms and you can study in any empty classroom but there is no library.

Overall, I am really happy with my instructors and it seems to be pretty well put together and organized.

Let me know if you have any specific questions.

can you please tell me what twu is like? what are the tests like? what are clinicals like?

ok, as far as tests, thats kinda hard to describe. there is a trend in almost all classes though. they are really trying to prepare you for the nclex and use those type of questions where you have to apply what you learn. there are a few straightforward questions but for the most part, they are applying what you read and do in lab.

clinicals at ben taub are nice because you keep busy. there is always something to do. my instructor described it as starting out at the tech level and slowly progressing up. for the most part, we do tech duties such as vitals, bed making, assisting patients, baths, ambulating, glucose monitoring, assisting the nurse, giving meds and injections (with the nurse present). its a nice experience to get acquainted with the hospital and how everything works.

Loved the new building. I had clinicals at Methodist, Hermann, Tx Children's, Harris Co Psych Center, and some school in Spring Branch. Further along in the program you will do total patient care..during your transition course. I loved ICU clinicals. The instructors are mostly great, as with everywhere there are a couple sour ones thrown in. The students are from all over the world.
