Im not sure eugenia.. I thought registration didn't start til the 8th or 9th though. Im just gonna wait til orientation though. In my acceptance letter it stated my first class began on august 23rd at 8am so maybe they already have us registered I don't know. You're starting in october right? There's a girl on here wanting to switch cohorts with somebody.

Yes, I am in cohort 2. I'm going to give them a call in the morning to find out about registration and I will post her answer. I saw the request from tcc2011. Unfortunately, I can't do it; summer plans with the family before the craziness begins. I do wish her luck in trying to find someone.

I went to the nursing office today and ms trotter gave me a form to go ahead and register for classes. I wanted to make sure I got the 830am class because I have work in the aftternoons. Once u fill out the form u just take it to admissions and they approve it. I'm excited to start! I got to go get something professional to wear lol

Thanks for sharing. I would do the same but I have no more classes on campus this week and I live in Yorktown so ill just wait until Monday... any August starters yet?

I'm hoping to find someone to switch with. I am too excited about orientation but also nervous thinking what if I didn't find anyone to switch with me.

I'm excited about orientation on Monday! I hate the waiting game and wish I could switch with you to start earlier, but my job doesn't end till September. I hope things work out for you though!

I'm sorry TCC2011, I cannot switch either because I need to work as long as I can before October. I hope tomorrow someone may want to start earlier in August. Good luck! :)

The orientation answered a lot today but dang there are a lot of expenses for the first semester. That hesi exam is reall $300?? For a test that u just take once?

From my understanding you take that Hesi a few times throughout the program. Ms. ******* kept saying once they figure out our testing plan, they'll know the cost. It is very expensive. If you're not using financial aid, the uniform is about $20 cheaper on the dove uniform site. I used amazon for my books because it saves me some $$

tcchopeful · Jul 10, 2012

Thanks I will look into that dove site.

Tcc2011.. did you find anyone to switch with you at orientation?

I never once used the TCC bookstore for a nursing program textbook...I was able to get them all from Amazon.com or BN.com. As long as you can get the ISBN number--or at least the book's title and edition number--you'll be fine ordering outside of the bookstore.
