Fall 2018 Tarrant County College ADN program

Nursing Students School Programs

Published

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!

I went to the 5pm session and if you did not attend you did not miss anything special. Who else attended? Btw they only accept 150 not 180 applicants

20 in a day! I'm sure most applicants are waiting to retake the HESI. It's crazy there are still 4 testing dates left before the deadline. I'm sure there will easy be another 200 applicants by the 31st.

So Cassie told me that the tb test is before acceptance but the instructions clearly say after. Anyone do the tb test before or should I bother?

No, your TB test does not need to be completed prior to applying, according to the woman who took my application.

I think I tried to submit my tb test at application and was also told by the woman taking it that she didn't need it at this time.

I read an awesome tip from someone in TCC nursing school who said to take classes that will apply to your BSN while you can so I've been taking a few while I wait to start the nursing program! (If I'm accepted!)

Do you have a link to what classes are required for the BSN?

No I went to UTA's RN to BSN program website and have been basing my classes off of that. I think most programs you will need basic classes like History, English II, Govt, Math. Things like that. I will do UTA after I graduate because they don't require chemistry for their BSN if you are already an RN.

I have already completed all my undergraduate core courses and I based that off of UTA as well just because I was originally going to apply with them. I also took their lower division NURS class requirement which was introduction to nursing and one nurse elective which was Medical Terminology. I really am just basically waiting to actually get accepted into a program to do my Nursing requirements to become an RN. Then once that is done I plan on transitioning to the RN to BSN program within 8 weeks of graduating which should allow enough time to do my NCLEX. TCC and I think most of the ASN/ADN program within DFW I'm sure have the concurrent program with UTA. I think you sign a letter of intent and then you are guaranteed admission into the RN to BSN program pending the passing of your NCLEX-RN.

I got this off Brookhaven's website if you are interested in looking into it

That's great that you've already completed your core classes! Thanks for posting this link!

Chemistry is my nemesis. All the others I have quite a few of so i plan on doing bsn as well. I had just never actually looked at the classes required. Thanks!
