Tidewater Community College 2013-2014 Nursing

Nursing Students School Programs

Published

Hey everyone, I would like to start a new thread for all the nursing students who got accepted into the Tidewater Community College Beazley School of Nursing 2013-2014. I will be starting in the August cohort and would like to meet some of my future class mates. If you are in another cohort, please add to the thread and we can all share information. Best of luck to everyone who will be nursing students this fall and spring!

Well, the end of nur108 is near. We have our comprehensive final on Tuesday and then a one day break before the next class starts. This class was very fast paced and if I can offer any advice it would be to keep up on the reading, and form study groups quickly! There is a lot of information in this course and weekly tests. Clinicals were great, you guys will love that part. Good luck to everyone starting in Cohort 2! See you on campus next week.

Regina,

Any other advise besides the study groups or keeping up on the reading? I am soooo scared about tomorrow!!!!

Thanks

Spicersweeney,

There really isn't any advice I can give you other than that. The tests are different from any tests we took up to this point. It is all about applying your knowledge. The questions are critical thinking questions. You need to take your time and read them carefully. In class, it is virtually impossible to take notes. The instructors will provide their notes for the class. USE THEM! But they will also inform you that sometimes they can mess up, they are human. So, if in doubt, Kozier & Erb is the gold standard. That's the Fundamentals book, the instructors refer to the books by the authors name. You will not need to bring all your books with you to every class. Just make sure you bring the Kozier & Erb book to the first class. Be prepared to jump straight in the first day. If they assigned reading, make sure you come prepared tomorrow. I hope this helps. ~ Regina

I applied for the TCC RN program prior to the September 15th deadline this year and hope to receive my acceptance letter sometime mid-November time frame! Will I receive the physical exam requirements with the acceptance letter? Will the physical have to be completed prior to the start of classes in January (assuming I get cohort 3)? Maybe you can provide some insight. Thank you!!

SipesMD, When I received my acceptance letter it did come with information on things that needed to be completed before the start of the semester. It will have all the physical requirements as well as the background check. Make sure you get everything completed and ready to turn in. Best of luck to you! I hope this helped. ~ Regina

Where is everybody that applied for Cohort 3 and 4 in 2014? I think we will receive our acceptance letters prior to Thanksgiving! I'm getting anxious!

I'm getting anxious too and can't wait to find out! We should have our letters in less than 2 weeks! Did you apply or cohort 3 or 4 start?

Hi, I applied for Cohort 3. How about you?

I also applied for cohort 3. Hoping we both get in! I haven't seen as many posts from potential applicants as I have for the previous semesters.

Where did you take your prerequisites if I may ask? I took most of mine at the Chesapeake campus. Hopefully some others will join us here soon :-)

I took them all at the Portsmouth campus or online. I am taking my last one (A&P 2) right now at the Chesapeake campus. I hope so too. :)

Hey, I also applied to TCC cohort 4 . We should be getting our letters soon.Good luck everyone

I applied for cohort 3 as well. I'm hoping we get our letters soon, the wait is killing me!!
