Students for Fall 2014 Tri-C program?

[Bubbly26]

I knew I may be kind of premature with this topic but I wanted to start a thread for the people who have been accepted into the Tri-C nursing program for the fall semester. As of this morning, I was provisionally accepted into the program at Metro. Has anyone else been placed and if so which campus?

Hello

I was accepted into the fall RN nursing program for 2015. I'm very excited about it and can't wait to start. Wanted to know does anyone know where Tri C nursing stands with their accreditation?

Tri-C is fully accredited.

Tri-C is accredited without conditions for the maximum amount of time, 8 years, which means that the next accreditation visit will take place in 2022. Accreditation information is posted at www.Tri-C.edu>Programs & Certificates>Nursing>Nursing Accreditation & Approval Information.

I am so upset. I really hoped I'd be able to start the LPN to RN program this spring but it is now closed. I haven't received my e-mail yet but I'm assuming they'll allow me to start next spring. This literally made me cry. A year is such a long time. In the mean time I've decided to complete my Chem 1010, 1020, and Stats. That way I can roll right into a BSN program. This is such a bummer though because I worked hard to finish Math 1250 this summer. Plus I'm 38 so time is not on my side. Good luck to all.

People decide not to attend school all of the time, so you could still get in. Just let them know that you would like to be considered for spring just in case a spot opens.

I just received my provisional application for the nursing program and am really confused as to which program I should choose, days or evenings/weekends.I currently work 6a-2p (which can be altered) but I must still work my 40 hours a week. Any recommendations to which I should choose?

We'll if you do days you'd have to change your hours cause you have to be at clinicals 2 days a week by 6:30 til 1 or 2:00 & Lect & lab 1 or 2 days depending on the semester. I'm not sure but evenings & weekends I think clinicals started for them at 3.

All the people that started nursing school with me that we're working full time ended up cutting their hours in or by the 3rd semester. I only know 1 person that stayed full time all through & that was cause they had a job that they could listen to their recordings of lectures at work.

If I were you I would do nights/weekends. A lot of people I went to school with maintained 40 hour work weeks with families and everything and succeeded. It's definitely doable!

[baileyxmolto]

I am thinking about doing days and then working doubles on sat/sun and then a day through the weeks, whichever day that might be my less work load day.

Hi all. I decided to come back to check up on this thread. I can't believe first semester is almost over. Finals are next week. Good luck to everyone :)

I have a question about clinicals. First, when in the program do they start? I have a lot of people telling me a lot of different answers. And secondly, does it matter which program you are in for the times of the clinicals? For instance, I am doing the day program, will all of my clinicals be during the week during the day or will there be weekend ones too? Or is it a first come, first serve basis? Thanks!

[AssociateDegree]

You'll start clinicals during N1450, the first clinical course, usually during the second week. Yes, it does matter which program you are in for clinicals. Day students will typically have day clinicals, but it is likely that you will have at least one section of weekend day clinicals while you are in N2300, since it is so difficult to get specialty (peds, OB, psych) sites. Each campus and program will have its own list of clinicals that you may register for and registration is on a first-come/first-served basis.

It's great to see you guys excited. It's always good to see Tri-C nursing students on the clinical floor where I work at as well, because I was one of you guys. I am a recent graduate of the Accelerated program. Good luck! Study HARD and never quit. To be safe, make sure you set the tone early in your classes getting high percentages on exams, it takes a lot less pressure off on accumulative finals.
