Hey guys 💜 just wanted to open a thread for Fall 2018 applicants at Tarrant County College ADN program! I know application cycle isn't open for about another month but I saw a few comments on the Spring 17 thread and thought we could have our own thread already!
I'm applying with the following:
A&P I: B
A&P II: A
Micro: A
HESI: 94.5
I can't wait to "meet" some of you on here and I've got my fingers crossed for all of us!
From what I've read, you are correct. The admissions decision is calculated based on 50% GPA in the 3 science prerequisites, and 50% on the HESI score. I spoke with someone a few weeks ago and learned that JPS Connect is not accepted as insurance, if any are on that. I do not know if getting insurance through a second insurer will disqualify one for this program or not, however.
I don't plan on putting my application in until I retake the HESI again which I already have scheduled. I got a 87.5 and I am not confident with that score so I'm going to retake again now that I've brushed up on my math.
I got an 86 90 92 96 on the 4 sectionss of the Hesi. The reAding section was broken down into subsections, one of which I got a 67% on. It says we need a minimum 75% on each section. Is this just the 4 main or each subsection also?

Grades:
A&p - A
A&p2- A
Micro -A
Hesi a2 overall- 91
I'm pretty sure its just the 4 sections. Not each subsection.
I spoke with someone at the admissions office regarding insurance and the TB test. She informed me that a company named E.J. Smith offers basic student insurance coverage that does not take into account pre-existing conditions. It looks to be about $40 a month for me. Regarding the TB test, the woman said that it is not required to apply, but should be done post-acceptance. Also, the 4 sections of the reading comprehension test are not taken into account individually - only the overall score for the section.
Hi there! I'm in the program now as well (2nd to last semester - woot!) and am happy to answer any questions :)

The reason your vaccinations are brought up, is mostly because of the Hep A and B. If your blood work (titer) doesn't show that you are still "protected" (for ANYthing), then you'll need to re-take these vaccinations. No big deal right? Except Hep B and Hep A have to be taken over a time period of 16 weeks and 6 months. That means, if you're accepted to the program and need to retake these vaccinations, you will NOT be allowed to go to clinicals (basically, you'll have to decline your spot). The hospital wants you to be fully vaccinated, and your shots wouldn't be complete in time. The TB test, whether you do it now or later, will need to be redone yearly. It only takes 2 days to read a TB skin test so no worries there!
The portion on the application regarding the vaccines where it asks for signatures. Does anyone know if we're able to just have our regular pcp sign off on them even if we didn't recsive them there?
