   I agree, I know some alternates that got in. They did have to wait until last minute so be prepared to hit the ground running. Good Luck!

   I had a full time job during pre-reqs but my nursing program school only does day classes. Luckily my work was flexible so I could cut down on my hours, I do about 25-27 hours a week which is a lot with school but it's workable.

4. TCC clinicals question

   You may want to also let your work know you may need a couple of extra hours a week occasionally to work in the lab for checkoffs in Skills. You won't need to all the time but generally a week before any checkoffs will help you.

   Groobie1 replied to Camdfw's topic in General Students

   I didn't do as well as I had thought I would in the science portion of the TEAS but overall scored in low 80's. I think what saved me was I took most of the pre-reqs and had a 4.0. The waiting game is stressful though, I wore a path to my mailbox in...
