TMCC Program

Well i was a certified nursing assistant first while going to nursing school. a critical care tech or CCT is like a CNA but is able to watch the monitors (EKG) at the nurses station. If you were referring to that. I've never heard of a nurse tech though. hope that helps.

Does anyone know how soon will students receive a reponse if applying to the Fast track program this coming January?

Shar81,

When I handed in my application to the nursing department yesterday, the director of the nursing program indicated that we should not expect a letter before the first of January (though I am hoping to see/hear something way before then).

Considering the date of your post, you may have already been provided this info but thought it may help (just in case you didn't). :-)

Good Luck!

Shar81,

I also just applied to the fast-track program at TMCC. Goodluck! I've heard mixed stories about the way they accept students. First, I've heard they have a hard time filling the program because they do not have enough qualified apps. Second, I've heard they already selected Spring 2010 program even though they are suppose to wait until the end of this semester. Have you heard anything like this? I'm just curious because so many people tell different stories.

I did not end up applying since i decided not to take A&P 2 this semester but rather this Spring. I dont regret my decision because i'm hoping to apply to another accelrated program in the summer that offers a BSN. I've heard both horrible and good things about the nursing program at TMCC. Its a great program overall and they do graduate skilled nurses but from what i've heard from graduates the teachers are extremely harsh on students. I went to a graduation ceremony for a friend and realized that there were only a handful of graduates from the nursing program and maybe about 5 or less graduated with honors. That scared me a whole lot.

I couldn't imagine they have a hard time filling in spots, there are so many applicants every year. What i hate is that even for the traditional program this coming August, all preqs must be completed by next month. Anyway, good luck on getting in. With all that i've heard, i decided it wasn't for me.

I just applied for the fast-track program. Did you get in your first try? How is the program so far? I'd love to know how your experience was applying and also how it is in the program.
