1. Tarrant County College...HELP! Why am I not accepted?

   bob7rob7 replied to kellils's topic in Texas

   Here is some needed info as I have heard it: Students with all pre-reqs completed are considered first. Science and Math grades and scores on the TEAS are weighed the heaviest, should be 70% or higher on the TEAS in order to compete. I would recommen...

2. New Grad - am I doing something wrong?

   bob7rob7 replied to AhJee's topic in California

   It must be a California thing. Come to Texas - nurse positions are everywhere here. I know folks fired on the spot after their first interview.

3. 4.0 gpa a myth?

   bob7rob7 replied to tea_leaf's topic in Texas

   At Tarrant County College (TCC), the school this thread is about, prior medical experience is not considered, and is stated so in the application packet. Science Grades, GPA, TEAS Score and Pre Reqs Completed are the top things looked at. Also, ver...

4. ? about Declatory Order and Texas BNE

   bob7rob7 replied to Ike Arumba's topic in Texas

   I would start by probably by getting a lawyer. Probably cost you around $300, but it would be worth it. Your last attorney should have asked for that at sentencing. Most do for Class C Mistys. Good Luck.

5. 4.0 gpa a myth?

   bob7rob7 replied to tea_leaf's topic in Texas

   I know a 4.0 student with all prereqs completed who did not get in TCC a few semesters back, as all 100 applicants who turned in their applications before her were accepted first. If you have over 100 4.0 students, then they go by submission date. ...

6. tarrant county college

   bob7rob7 replied to sammi18's topic in Texas

   Depends on the pool. Sometimes you can and sometimes you can't get in with Bs. I know a couple folks who got in with 2 Bs in the sciences. I also know someone with 4 As in the sciences, an 85% on the Teas and a 4.0 GPA who did not get in a few seme...

7. ? about Declatory Order and Texas BNE

   bob7rob7 replied to Ike Arumba's topic in Texas

   Petition the court to have it removed. If you have no other offenses they should grant your petition if 3 years have passed.

8. Might move to texas,,,any advice for nursing schools?

   bob7rob7 replied to want2banurse35's topic in Texas

   I say go to Tarrant County College (TCC) for their 2 year ADN program, then transfer to UTA for 2 more semesters for the BSN. That is my plan. B

9. TCC Spring '09 applicants?

   bob7rob7 replied to Corkybabe12's topic in Texas

   Again, it all depends on the application pool. Sometimes, a pool does not have all As in the sciences. In my pool, only one person got in with 2 Bs in the Sciences, and she was an Alternate who got lucky because a pregnant person dropped out. The ...

10. TCC TEAS questions

    bob7rob7 replied to NurseBettyICU's topic in Texas

    I had only 1 A&P question, zero Microbiology, 4 Chemistry, and lots of life, earth, and general science. Math is thru Algegra and Geometry, but no higher. Reading is reading passages and answering questions, and English is mostly parts of sentenc...

11. Tarrant County College students out there?

    bob7rob7 replied to Corkybabe12's topic in Texas

    The first time I applied, I had 3 As, each in Micro, A&P I and II, and a B in Chem. I had a 3.79 GPA and an 80% on the Teas and did not get in. I had all the prereqs finished as well as the immunizations. The 2nd time I applied, I had retaken ...

12. AMAZED at what some students get away with!!!

    bob7rob7 replied to nervousnurse's topic in General Nursing

    I believe if the nurses who are doing the training have nothing for the student nurses to do, they should dismiss them for the day. Students could use the extra study time in a library somewhere, not at the hospital where they are underfoot. Students...

13. Nurses Past Their Prime

    bob7rob7 replied to dialysis12041999's topic in General Nursing

    I was not the original poster of this thread. I said clearly that is what I find hard to believe, based on the other posts and the original post in this thread. However, I have heard it from too many people for there not to be some truth to it. I ...

14. Nurses Past Their Prime

    bob7rob7 replied to dialysis12041999's topic in General Nursing

    It is the part about them not wanting to share their knowledge with new nurses that bothers me. Maybe they are afraid they will lose their jobs if the new nurses learn what they know. Ageism is everywhere in society, but has no business in the medi...

15. My bad attitude

    bob7rob7 replied to jessiern's topic in Relations

    Next time, just call Medicare, state, or whomever the proper authority is, and have them come out for a surprise inspection. That way, only supervisors are to blame.
