Which Nursing program is better UTArlington or TWU?

Published

I'm a nursing major and will be a sophmore this fall semester so I'm thinking of which nursing program to apply to. I'm currently a TWU student but I'm considering applying to UTA because it is very close to home, I love the campus and I've heard so many good things about the nursing program but I'm wondering if it really lives up to the hype. I want to attend a program that will prepare me for the work place, and is highly accredited. My GPA is currently a 3.5 because I got all As my first semester but second semester I got 1 A, 3 Bs and 1 C (In chemistry). Although, I will be taking summer classes so hopefully my GPA will increase before I have to apply for the nursing program. I've noticed that UTA and TWU have two different entrance exams the HESIA2 and the TEAS V, since I have my mind set on UTA I'm not sure if I should go ahead and take both or just apply to other schools who require the HESI? I'm torn between both schools because I know that I would like to attend UTA but I am worried that my GPA may not be good enough for either school. I'm worried about which entrance exam is more difficult and I'm concerned about not getting further consideration for UTA because I have done more than 30 hours at TWU. Although I will be transferring to UTA before I apply for the Upperdivision nursing program I would still like to apply for both schools nursing programs? What advice would you guys give me considering the schools accredibility and my condition? Thankyou

TWU. They have been 'top of the heap' for decades. Never compromised by expanding too rapidly to maintain quality.... nuff said. They also have the most highly qualified applicants, so you'd be competing with the best of the best.

Best of luck on your nursing education journey
