Hi... I was just accepted into the TCC Nursing Program. Does anyone out there have any advice or information to offer? I'd appreciate hearing about the program, instructors, clinicals, etc. Thanks! Oh, one more thing... if you are aware of any specific information that would be beneficial to review prior to starting, please let me know.

I am excited and very surprised that I received one of the 14 seats for the RN full time nursing program for Fall of 2012. IF anyone is reading this who is currently in the program or has recently gone through the program, could you please tell me what time clinical generally starts, or what a "typical" clinical schedule might look like. I am trying to figure out childcare for my two little ones. Thanks.

I am a 5th quarter student at TCC. The first quarter is very hectic. You have clinical once a week but only for a few hours (3 I think?). You also have outside activities you have to do. Those are scheduled during your clinical orientation during the first week of school. So you should know your schedule the first week of school. After first quarter, clinicals are much more constant and your schedule shouldn't change from week to week.

When is your orientation? I am excited for you! Congratulations on making it in!

Thanks you touchofgray, I am excited. I was pretty surprised though because they had reserved/held over 10 seats for returning students, so there were only 14 left to give away for fall. Orientation is on the 7th. I am currently trying to obtain and complete all of the necessary pre-orientation requirements. I was worried about childcare but I think that what I have lined up will work just fine and if I need more flexibility later I will figure it out then.

You are close to being finished the program. Do you feel you will be well prepared as an RN once you are done?
