Temple College?

U.S.A. Texas

Published

Well I am five weeks away from starting nursing school, and am super excited! (Also super-nervous since I feel like I'm scrapping my BA degree and starting all over, but I digress...).

Do any of you have experience with the Temple College VN program? Any advice on what I can expect, both study-wise and clinical-wise? I guess I don't have any specific questions, but any comments anyone may have (negative or positive) would be very welcome.

Cheers y'all!:cheers:

No, it is not a necessity to have A & P 2 completed, just the three mentioned courses. However, all of the general ed course can be taken before hand and will actually lessen your load while in school! Pharmacology is a dept taught course once you are in the program. If I were applying, yes I would apply for the LVN and ADN both to get your foot in the door. TC as well as ACC have bridging or mobility tracks also distance learning is possible for LVn to RN. Both programs are competitive but the VN program is offered in WIlliamson and Bell Counties. The LVN program is 3 semesters, just one year! The LVn program selection is usually in Jan or Feb, and the A.D.N. is around April, May, so you have time to accept the VN and always decline in April if accepted to the A.D.N. program. Hope that helps. ALSO the computer science course can be taken online! Hope that helps.

Generally any 3 credit hour computer class will do (I think Intro to Computers is probably your safest bet)

Hey I know this is a way old post...but I'm starting the ADN program in the fall and looking at the schedule that is out for fall. Are there night clinicals or only day? Because I will have classes every morning except Monday and I thought there were two days of clinicals...
