Calling all SOUTHWEST Tennessee Community College Fall 2011 Hopefuls!!!

Yes, you have to be there Friday between 9 & 3. It is the nursing building office, although I can't tell you where that is. I may join you in walking circles.

The nursing building is behind the "fake nursing hospital" on the Union Campus. Congrats on the ones that was accepted. Enjoy your summer break, no need to try to get material to study up on because you will need this time to get other things in order because once school starts it will start. You all probably won't get a chance to find out much until Orientation which takes place in the fall. My advice stay focus spend as much time with your family and friends, watch endless hours of TV, go to the movies, walk in the park, do something you consider fun. Get plenty of sleep!!!!

Oh yeah you all won't be able to register for class until after Orientation. You can view the class schedule if you want too just to get an idea on when your classes will start. Don't buy your books at the bookstore, too dang blasted high!! Go to amazon.com or abebooks or half.com or somewhere else, now if you have financial aid then you probably have to buy your books at the campus. I think that's all the I can remember.

I know I have no idea where the nursing school is :), I remember once when I went to get information I went to the nursing school annex and was told it was in another building but the lady there gave me the information I needed never needed to go back there. I read on someone's post that the clinicals are first come first serve, does that mean when we go on Friday we have to pick our clinical day then? Due to prior appointments might not be able to get there till about 2 pm:confused:

You are at the right place, you are going behind the nursing annex, I go there and can't remember the name of the building(pretty sad). No you won't have to pick your schedule on Friday. You will get an opporunity to pick your clinicial day after Orientation in August. So my advice is look at the class schedules(like you are registering for class) and keep in mind that you want that clinical day. I know that the Daytime program has clinical days on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays. It is a first come first serve type of thing but you will have to wait until they give everyone directions on what to do once Orientation is over but I was able to get exactly what I wanted with no trouble when I started.

Thanks! I am soo excited, don't know anyone personally starting in fall, but can't wait to meet my classmates!

When I went to sign paperwork, I had to pick a clinical right then. We picked our class time and clinical day. Then received an email later with a permit for that specific class to register.

The nursing annex is on walnut street south of the main campus. It is not the allied health building, so dont get confused. It hides behind another building.

I think you may have started in the Spring semester? The Fall semester is done differently, we could not do anything until after Orientation in August. After orientation we had to email the dean our permits and she would reply back saying it was ok to register for the class. Also, in the Fall one of the clinicals are different, they have a Friday/Saturday split clinical, so the first 6 weeks you have clinical on Friday at the campus then when we went the hospital your clinical day changed to Saturday. And we also had the option to have a clinical on a Sunday. Preparing for the Spring semester doesn't give much time compared to the fall because Foundations would start at 12:30p or 2:45p but once you move on to the other semesters your classes start at 9:10a. They just had us sign our paperwork and told us don't do anything until after Orientation. And plus the dean is out attending meetings so she doesn't have access to issue permits right now. The spring semester might be a little more organized. The fall was extremely disorganized.

Hello everyone! I was accepted to the fall SW program too & am SOOOOOOOOO excited. I'm new to the allnurses site but I've been reading it for years just never signed up until now. thanks for all the great info & tips you all have shared. Looking forward to meeting everyone & starting classes in the fall.

I don't know if I'm excited to get things underway, but I guess you could say it is a challenge I'm ready for. Anyways, I'm going up there around lunch time and I'm wondering if all the staff takes the same time off for lunch. That would stink if I take my lunch break to go sign a paper and it turns into a 2 hour affair. But hey, something tells me I should get ready to jump through a lot of hoops from now until the start of classes.

Is any one going to be working while taking classes? I will be going there later in the day too, I called and the Lady said as long as i was there before 3 pm it was fine.

Where exactly is the nursing building, do u walk behind the allied building? I hope I won't waste precious time looking for it! :)

Just got back. You will be picking your class schedules today with the exception of clinical, which you will get to pick later. So if you have a particular schedule you want, try to get there as soon as you can.
