Navarro College Associates program

Nursing Students Pre-Nursing

Does anyone know how competitive the selection is for Navarro college Waxahachie's associate nursing program? Any advice on preparing to apply or things to do/not do?

Waxahachie has an LVN program. The sophomore ADN students attend lecture in waxahachie, but it's still the Corsicana program :) this year's selection has been made (Fall 2014) so you'll need to apply for next year as they only admit in the fall for both programs.

It's competitive.

I graduated this past May.

Message me if you want.

Things to do:

Microbiology, A&P I and II. Get good grades. These grades count as points towards admission. Take the TEAS test and do well, this also counts as points. Healthcare certification (cna, EMT, phlebotomy tech etc) gives you points too. If you go to the college website you'll find application criteria and a guide.

Thank you for replying I have also completed most of the core courses such as English, psych etc I read it gives you points as well to have those cores done. Yes I did see the info about the app periods and I don't plan to apply until next year but I asked about the competitive nature because of the fact that they only "require" those three science courses and I know TCC's program is nearly impossible to get into so I wondered if this program was the same or maybe I would have a little more of a chance

It's definitely competitive. It also depends on who else applies. It's hard to say what the "acceptance score" is... Because that is only determined after all applicants are entered into the spreadsheets.

My advice: apply to every program you're interested in attending.

Thanks!

Red-do you know what any of the nurses that have kids or don't live at home/on campus do about working? I haven't really had much feed back on this like how do people pay their bills while they're in nursing school? Part time waitressing jobs that are flexible? Save money up until being admitted and rely on that and spousal support? Just seeing if anyone has any ideas

Apply for financial aid. There are grants and scholarships available :) also, you can get student loans. Quite a few classmates have kids and work full time too while in school. It's definitely doable. The RN program is generally 3 days per week- one lecture day, one clinical day, and one test day (test day is only a couple hours max).

That sounds crazy I've seen so many people say oh that's not possible you can't work and go to nursing school I def will apply for the financial aid
