Applying for TNCC RN Program

[JPva]

I am currently taking classes so that I can apply for TNCC's RN program. I was hoping that there would be someone here that could give me some tips and/or advice for when the times comes for me to actually apply. I have not been able to go to an informational session yet, and they do not hold them in the summer. I am planning to apply in February/March of 2016 for the Fall 2016 semester. I do not know anyone who has applied to the program, and would love some help! How important is it to take the pre-nursing classes (not the required pre-requisites)? Will it help that I already have my bachelors and masters (in unrelated areas) from another university? When should I start studying for the TEAS V? Any help I can get would be so appreciated!
