This is what it states in the information packet which is available on the nursing webage at www.tccd.edu/nursing The following courses must be completed prior to applying to the nursing program: CHEM 1406- Essentials of General and Biological C...
This is totally not true at all. I had Bs in both A&Ps and in Chemistry and an A in Micro and I got in just fine. In fact my final GPA was only a 3.5 I believe. Granted, I did extremely well on the TEAS, but they're all looked at when you appl...
I am currently in my third semester at TCC and I got in with 3 Bs and an A in my science classes. I had an overall GPA of 3.5. Do not believe the hype. Yes, it greatly increases your chances to have better grades, but it is not the end of the worl...
I can personally verify that it is possiblt to get into TCC with a GPA of 3.2. My TEAS scores were in the 98th percentile though. When I applied for last spring, I still had 2 pre-reqs to go so I was only put on the waitlist. When I applied again ...
I have social anxiety as well and I know that there really is no "mind over matter," at least not with me. I don't want to freak out about being around new people, but I do! It only used to bother me in large crowds, but since becoming a stay at ho...

I'm done with all of my pre-reqs (all of which I've paid with cash as I've gone) so all I have left is nursing school. Ours (ADN program) lists a total of $5000.00 which includes graduation fees. Not too shabby!

I personally worked a 40+ hour a week job during most of my pre-reqs (including ALL of my sciences) and I did just fine. That being said, I have since become a stay-at-home mom and will stay that way through nursing school, which I start in the Fall....
The only other class I took at NE was Micro...and that was only for a few weeks in the Fall of '05. I was pregnant and got diagnosed with gallstones. We weren't allowed to miss more than one lab without losing major points so I just dropped it. Oh...
I took Carmichael too for both classes and I LOVED her! She really made it a point to make sure everyone understood before she moved on. Plus, she was incredibly approachable. Jaxia - when did you take her? I had her Fall '04 and Spring '05.
I always buy mine online too. Whenever I'm in the bookstore getting ISBN's, I put them into my phone so it looks like I'm sending a text message. I know they can't kick you out or anything for doing it, I'd just rather they not know at all! I can't...
