Anyone applying to Tidewater Community College for Fall 2013?

I will definitely keep you posted. Last semester there were over 200 applicants. I was chosen as 1 of 18 alternates but unfrtunately i didnt get called back. No alternates were called for jan start and 2 were called for the march 11th class. Hopefully i have a better chance this time around. If not i may have to go to plan B ..lol :-)

Have you looked at Riverside or Sentara? So far I have been most impressed with these two programs.

Thanks Virgolove34...Me too :-) @heathermax, i have looked into other schools...Im working on it ...

@Heathermax...its funny that you mentioned riverside because a girl in my CNA class just told me about it. She is trying to prepare to apply. I have looked into it and may apply there as well. Doesnt hurt to have options :-)

Sentara is a BSN class, but has just about the same pre-requisites as the ASN classes. I am still working on getting my pre-requisites done, and as of right now I am about 2 years away.. BUT, I am applying for the LPN class, that way I can be working as a LPN and continue TCC for the pre-requisites.

That sounds like a plan...was considering doing the same but i would rather go straigh for my RN ....I have not eliminated that option applying for an lpn program as well ..Thats plan C ...lol Im gonna get there one way or another

I too have applied for Fall (October) start. I know that we are suppose to know either way by May 15th, but has anyone gotten anything yet? I hope we don't have to wait another month :unsure:

Spicersweeney,

I am waiting as patiently as I can but it is stressing me out. I have not gotten anything in the mail and I believe this is the only way we will find out. Good luck to you and I will let you know as soon as I find out either way! Do you know anyone else who has applied. I haven't really seen too many people on here and wonder how big the applicant pool is this time around. Thanks.

Regina

Spiceweeney...No i have not gotten anything yet. Last time i got my letter on the 12th , 3 days before the deadline. The waiting game is hard but we will get through it !!

Regina-

Thanks! I will do the same also. Which cohort did you apply for? Yeah I agree I haven't seen much activity about the fall start...maybe the pool is smaller this time :yes:
