All you alternates - keep your heads up. I am an ADN student at WC (about to finish up my 1st semester). I was not even an alternate but was accepted at the last minute (got the call on Friday night, started classes on Monday!) TCC had accepted mor...

I'm out at TCC anyways b/c I've taken some classes 3 times - they will only look at the highest of the 1st 2 times you've taken a class - even if 1 of the first 2 times you withdrew. The 'W' is counted as 1 change. UGH!!

Thanks SN2010! You did answer my questions. As for any other questions I have... well I want to know EVERYTHING. LOL!! How is the program - more or less difficult that you thought it would be?
Just have a couple of questions.... 1. How many students started out at the beginning... a full class or were there less? 2. If a person is not an alternate, but there are any spots open even after the alternates, do they call the next person in lin...

I was told it will take about 3 weeks after the close of registration b/f we find out. Oh the waiting is going to be so hard. If anyone happens to talk to Karen and finds out how many points were needed to be accepted, please post. :) Good luck to yo...
I am not yet a nursing student (just a little ole PRE-nursing student) lol. Anyway, I have read many posts about the amount of reading you are required to do in a short amount of time. Are you really able to comprehend all that you read? Seems like y...
So the deadline for turning in your application is approaching. Just curious about the competition. LOL! - What is your score? - Did you finish all of the pre-reqs? - Has anyone spoken to Karen and found out what the current "acceptable" score i...
