COMPUTER REQUIREMENTS

Beginning with the class starting August 2009, each student will be required to purchase, as part of his/her school supplies, a laptop computer from Texas Wesleyan University. The computer will be used for all didactic and some clinical aspects of the program including on-line testing. This computer must be brought to class on test dates and at other times required by the instructor. The computer should not be used for non-school related functions. The student must have access to a computer (the one mentioned above should meet this requirement) that will provide e-mail, Internet access and a printer. Class syllabi, notes and testing will be provided/conducted on-line. Accessing and printing class material is the students’ responsibility. Phase II class material will include on-line testing and communication with the University. The student will be required to check their course web site at least weekly. Lecture back-up streaming video is available only with highspeed Internet access.

If another computer is used for home purposes, the computer should be less than three years old, use Windows XP or newer operating system and run newer versions of Microsoft Office. All material is posted in Windows compatible format; MAC users are responsible for their own compatibility issues. The University’s resources are limited and should not be viewed as a mechanism to resolve MAC compatibility issues.

The RRNA is provided with operating room attire during clinical instruction
in both Phase I and Phase II. RRNA's must provide a white lab coat.

Most students will be required to rotate to enrichment health care facilities to meet all clinical requirements for graduation. Rotations may be local to or distant from the student's primary site. If a student rotates to a distant site, all costs including transportation, licensure, and housing may be the student's responsibility. Rotations to enrichment sites may be up to four months in length (total time) during Phase II and the student is encouraged to budget accordingly.
