Collin College Fall 2013 Nursing Applicant's

U.S.A. Texas

Published

I just finished taking my PSB and I've already submitted my application to Collin College for the Fall of 2013. This is my 3rd time applying and I'm really hoping I get in this time around. If I did well on the PSB I should have 15 out of 16 points, so I think I should have a pretty good chance of getting into the program. My question is has anyone heard anything about students being turned down for taking A&P I twice to improve their grade? I received a B the first time I took it, so I retook it this last semester and at the end of the semester my professor told my class if this was our 2nd time taking it then we might as well not even waste our time applying to Collin, because they will automatically throw away your application if you didn't get an A the first time you took it. Has anyone heard if this is true or not?

Thanks for the info, Rebekah. Did you order the women's specific top, or the unisex one? I know they mentioned that the women's ones run large, but no mention on the unisex. Does anyone happen to know what the date is for the next orientation? I don't have it in my notes and can't recall if they told us... Thanks!

p.s. I had a couple of cavities too :-/

I ordered the unisex top. The next orientation is aug 16th I believe.

I called the nursing office last Friday and they said that they were still working on it and had not sent anything out. I did order my uniform last week, but that is all I have done. The notes I took at the first info meeting said that the second info meeting would be August 16th.

I still haven't heard from the nursing department either. Can anyone tell me if we just need a dental exam, or if we actually need to fix our teeth before the semester starts? I know for certain I have a couple of cavities and am dreading it right now...

I called the nursing dept last Friday, they told me we would get the email this week, but I still haven't received anything either :( As for your question about the dental work, it does have to be completely fixed before orientation. I know a great dentist who doesn't charge as much as most dentists if you need to find one.

I wonder why it's taking so long for them to email us. Do you guys know if we can go ahead and do the background check?

Just called them they said the email WILL be out by today, fingers crossed! And any suggestions on dentist would be awesome! I am trying to summon up some courage to go....

I was just told they sent it. Has anyone gotten it? I have not yet.

I have not received the bulk e-mail yet. I did get registered for classes today though. It seems you don't get to pick your professors. If you log-in and look under registration status it will give you the specific course that you can register. (For example there are two RNSG 1170 classes listed and you must register for the one that is specifically listed under your registration status.) I still had problems getting all of them registered as it told me that I couldn't sign up for certain ones because I was already registered for that class (there are three classes that we have to register for under RNSG 1471). Anyway, I had to email Charlene and she got it done for me.

I just received the bulk letter, but there is no mention of Nursing board background check, do any of you know how to get that done? Also in the welcome letter it said calendar attached but I cant find it either.

I emailed Charlene with questions about the background check and calendar/syllabus, so hopefully she'll respond soon. Does anyone know when and where we can go get the TB test done? And by when we need to have proof of it?

I went to Collin County TB Clinic in McKinney, it's $20 for the 2 visits. The letters mentioned August 1st but I am not sure.
