    Hi! As far as gpa is concerned, you need a 2.5 to get in. HOWEVER, I applied with a 2.49 (spent 3 yrs as an english major before I decided on nursing) and just had to write a letter for exception, which basically said why i thought I should get an exception to that rule. Well, I didn't get in initially, but I got on the waiting list and they actually called me the day before classes started and said someone had dropped and asked if I wanted the spot, so I took it! As far as the program goes, it has its good points and its bad points, like all nursing programs. I dont have any complaints as far as level one goes, I think they do a good job. Level 2 was a little different, but it was also more vigorous coursework. I just felt like a lot of the instructors were less than encouraging, and flip-flopped a lot. Ive only been in level 3 for a few weeks now and i LOVE it! I think TCC as a whole is a good program and a lot of the nurses I have worked with have told me that they have been most impressed with students from TCC. Hope that helps, I'll be more than happy to answer anymore questions you have!

    Mistiffy,

    I am considering TCC's nursing program.... I'm just curious as to the GPA needed to get in to their program. I am planning on attending the info session monday and am entering into a CNA program (should be done by May). Just curious.... It is always good to hear feedback from actual students.

    Thanks so much!
