Hello everyone :). I need some advice and help about getting into nursing school at TCU. I have an overall gpa of 3.3. I'm finished with all my classes and currently got my first job as a CNA. My dream has always been to become a nurse! I can't imagine another career path than that. I'm studying for the nclex and hoping to get a very high score on that. Honestly what are my chances into getting into tcus traditional BSN 2018? Any feedback would be truly helpful :)

If your dream is TCU and you have a means to pay for it (other than crushing debt), then go for it!

If not, I'll let you in on something. I spoke with two instructors at the TCU nursing program regarding their program. I thought TCU was the best in the area; however, these instructors, to whom I spoke with separately, told me flatly, "This is a good program and I'm not going to tell you not to apply here. Just keep in mind, though, I send my [child] to [another] school for their nursing degree." It shocked me, to say the least that they teach at one school and send their kids to another school in town.

If TCU is your dream by all means go for it. Otherwise, that GPA will get you into most other programs. Good luck! And if TCU is where you want to go then I wish you the best.

Side comment- TCU is a good program. The comments above were from their own instructors and don't reflect my own opinion of TCU or their SoN.

If your dream is to be a nurse, and not a nurse who at one time went to TCU, allow math to work for you and apply multiple places. There are multiple reputable traditional BSN programs in the DFW area that include TCU, UTA, TWU, and Tarleton. The latter three are much less expensive. There are also reputable ADN programs, though if you want to work for a hospital system it's easier to get a job with the system if you already work there as a tech. Of course, that applies to both BSN and ADN programs, but is more important as a new grad ADN nurse.
