   Hi Everyone! It's been a while since I last posted.... I am currently one day away from finishing 4th quarter. This has been my favorite quarter so far. I had a theory class w/John Miller who is a great instructor. Yes, he really likes technology, b...

   For those of you entering first quarter in the fall I would recommend brushing up on your A&P, mostly as it applies to a head-to-toe physical examination. Actually, I would say that if you can get your hands on a book that covers a basic examinat...

   Hi Everyone, I am just a couple of days away from finishing my 3rd quarter. Here's my take on the program... (in no particular order)... - Like someone else said... get used to not knowing your schedule until the last minute. Overall, the staff is p...

   Wow... thanks for the heads up on the schedule change. By the way, my name is Lynn. I suppose a semi-formal introduction is appropriate, especially since we'll be spending the next two years together!

   From what I understand about this first quarter, you go to classes M,T & possibly Wed (depending upon which group you are in: A, B, or C). Then you have clinicals at another time (probably based on availability). If you check out the current TCC ...

   Hi Irene joy, Nice to hear from you! I have been checking out this site for a while and never found much info on TCC either, so I decided it was about time that we had a place to meet! Anyhow, I just received notice that orientation will be on Sept. ...

   From what I've gathered from talking to a few different people, the range seems to be somewhere around 4.0 - 3.7 - sometimes lower, sometimes higher. I didn't apply anywhere else - I just made sure that I did well on my pre-req's (factored 3.95). Wha...

    FYI - I spoke w/one of the nursing students at the beginning of the summer (she likely started Spring 06) and she said that it would be a good idea to read "The Spirit Catches You and You Fall Down" by Anne Fadiman. It was required during her 1st (po...

    LexieB, I took my pre-req's at TCC, but Bldg. 19 (Nursing) is sort of its own entity. You really don't interact much w/the nursing students or see them around much because (I think) all of their classes are in that building. Anyhow, here's hoping tha...

    Congrats LexieB... I've checked out this site a few times and decided I'd better make a thread for TCC. I'd like to have an idea of what to expect! Are you in the FT program or Bates? I'm in FT.

    Hi... I was just accepted into the TCC Nursing Program. Does anyone out there have any advice or information to offer? I'd appreciate hearing about the program, instructors, clinicals, etc. Thanks! Oh, one more thing... if you are aware of any sp...

    Hi! I am a pre-nursing student (just accepted last week - yeah!) and I definitely have dishydrotic eczema. My derm prescribed steroid cream (can't remember the name right now) and it works well. However, I am not great at catching a breakout early......
