   no. part time, only. UNLESS you happen to start in the winter, I think they let you finish your preceptorship in the summer so you don't have to wait till fall.

3. TCC Nursing Program Schedule

   BettyPaige replied to kelkel1108's topic in Washington

   almost done with 1st quarter. A job that starts at 4pm should work. My bff works like 5-10 and she makes it work. You may need to take loans, I doubt 40 hrs a week will be manageable if you want to get good grades. However, you just need a 79 to pass...

   Hey to all my NICU heros! I am going to be doing a preceptorship in my last quarter of nursing school. I was wondering if I should do it in the NICU or if I should rotate through some other adult unit. My passion is NICU, I know that no matter how I ...

   BettyPaige replied to FionaSophia's topic in Washington

   this is in reference to the 2 open days question: Usually we have no open days. We have clinicals in the community that are done at various times and usually on our one scheduled day that we do not have to on campus or at the assisted living facility...

   I am also a first semester student and I find myself feeling that way sometimes. I really hope its just the beginning and I will get over it. I want this so bad, so I'm going to push through until I find my niche. good luck in whatever you choose to ...

10. Things you would love to say to your fellow nursing students!

    BettyPaige replied to Faeriewand's topic in General Students

    I don't care how old you are. You made it into a program that took no one who had less than a 3.96, that is respectable. That being said, don't tell me you are in your early fifties when you are clearly pushing 70. I have a mother and a grandmother a...
