I graduated from TCC in May 2010...at that time only about 1/3 of us had jobs lined up to bridge from GN to RN. Mine was out of state, Kansas (grew up there and have family there), and I had work experience with THR-AMH as an nurse extern. Its a to...
I worked for KHH and the management there is awful and unprofessional! They promote RNs that have no business into supervisor positions. 4:1 ratio on tele is good but it's total care and you are swamped with nursing home style patients. Great nur...

I am a TX grad, MAY 2010, and I had to move back home to Kansas in order to get a job...at graduation, only about 30% of us had jobs. This was in the DFW area. Even worked through nursing school as an aide and wasn't offered a position at my hospit...
I received good pop-up and passed as well. I think there is SOLID proof in this "trick". Best of luck to those who did not pass on their first attempts...you can and will do this! Keep your chin up!
Don't you think too though, that student nurses are there working basically for FREE!?! So really, do you blame anyone for having a relaxed attitude occasionally? Key word there is OCCASIONALLY! It's their education and clinical experience, not yo...
i have to tell you....as a sn myself about to enter my senior year, i too am pondering a career as a crna or np. and to be completely honest, i would obtain a master's not only for myself and the passion i have for nurturing others but for the finan...
Well Mommyof3, like I said before its just terrific that A) they told you your position in line and B) that YOU GOT IN!!!! Don't feel overwhelmed yet, you haven't even started.........Camp success will help a little but when I went I thought it was k...
Congrats to the new class of Fall 2009/May 2011. I am finishing up my second semester, graduation is May 2010, and I have some advice as new student nurses: But first, MOMMYOF3, you are so lucky to have been told your ranking on the alternate list, ...
Congrats on your acceptance. I am just finishing up my first semester and WHOA has it been a busy one. Your life will never be the same, but in a GOOD way. NS (nursing school) is unlike any other schooling you'll have experienced. It is hard, ch...
First off, you do not need 3 A's and 1 B in your sciences to get into the program. There isn't any real formula for selecting an applicant based entirely off their GPA and prereqs. I applied in Fall 07 for Spring 08--with A's in Chem and Micro, and ...
Congrats to all of you that will be new SNs (student nurses) in January 2009! Welcome to the nursing program at TCC. I am about to finish my first semester of NS (nursing school), and I'm so excited for y'all!!! Your life will never be the same. N...
First all, I took Jacursio (NE) and I loved, loved, loved her. She was tough, but you know what?; I remember so much from her class that it was worth it. She provides notes and so many practice worksheets that its impossible not to be successful in...

I'm about to start TCC's nursing program next week and let me recommend my instructors for your sciences if possible, you'll really enjoy them and should do well in their classes. I attended the NE campus: Micro---Prof. W Matthai AP 1 and 2----Dr. M ...
Hey everyone! I am about to start TCC's Nursing Program next week and I remember Bev, department Sect., talking about college alegbra being a pre-req in the FUTURE and that we didn't need to worry about it since it wouldn't affect our class. So here'...
I didn't actually count the number of guys in the crowd but I noticed about 20-ish or so give or take a few. Including myself there is 1 other gent in my clinical group (2 total). I think its great that men are making more of a presence in the nursi...
