Question about Grayson County College

I graduated GCC in 07. Every year the cut off gets higher and higher. I believe the year I was accepted it was in the 18-20 point range. As the program gets more competitive, the points will be getting higher and higher. I'd say it's fair to assume you need 22-24 points to get in.

My advice to anyone wanting to get into GCC is to do your best on your pre-req's, especially your sciences and (BIG JOKE!) co-req's. The MINUTE you are eligible apply. You may not/probably won't get accepted with the bare minimum, but you've got an application on file. Then continue to add classes that give you points. Most applicants that get in are already well on their way to fulfilling the requirements for their BSN applicaions.

It's a hard job, but if you want it bad enough, you'll get in and do well.

As far as clinicals, there are so many options out there. You don't choose your clinical assignment, it's given to you (you get to give your first 3 preferences). There's early morning, mid afternoon and I believe some new evening rotations available.

As far as scrubs, if they haven't changed anything since last semester, you'll need 1- nautical blue and 1-white. They tell you you have to have a lab coat too, but I only wore my lab coat and white scrubs 1 time. The lab coat because I was in street clothes when I had to go pick patients for my turn at charge, and my white scrubs when I did OB at McKinney. If I had it to do over again, I wouldn't have bought the white scrubs or the lab coat until I needed them.

Hope this helped. Good luck in getting in!

I graduated in 07 also. One semester I had clinicals at Medical Center of Plano and we were required to wear the white scrubs, the next I had clinicals at Texoma Medical Center and we could wear blue or white. I would not buy anything extra until you need it.
