Need to know more about Trinity Valley Community College (TVCC)

U.S.A. Texas

Published

Hello All,

I have not completed any of the nursing pre-reqs. I'm thinking seriously to apply to TVCC in Fall08, take the pre-reqs, then apply for ADN

My question is :

1. Since I didn;t have any pre-reqs completed yet. How long will it take for me to complete it ?

2. TVCC only accept admission each Fall. Deadline is Jan 31. That means it will take at least 2 semesters to complete pre-reqs before getting into ADN program ??? if so, it will take like 3 yrs to complete a degree :o

For example :

Fall 08 : completed pre-reqs

before Jan 31 : submit application

Spring 09 : take more Gen Eds or co-reqs

Fall 09 : start ADN (if admitted)

3. Admission is based on point system. Does it really hard to get into it?

4. Do they acccept international students into ADN ? or maybe i should give them a call?:idea:

Thank you very much!

call them, they will tell you everything you need to know. are you planning on doing your pre-reqs full-time or part-time? If you are planning full time, then that is about 15 hrs a semester, like 4-5 classes. what are the pre-reqs? I would imagine english, algebra, psych, a and p maybe, speech, sstuff like that. once you figure all that out, then you can tell yourself how long it will take before you can apply. and if Im not mistaken, you can actually apply for the nursing program while your last pre-reqs are in progress. The point system sucks, GPA is VERY important. If there is a wait list, you are looking at some major time before you get in. (in my opinion)

that is why i chose LVN school, no GPA reqs, no prereqs, and wait list.

But many of my classmates are looking at the RN bridge program at TVCC.

hope that helps!

I am in Level I at TVCC right now. I am not sure I can answer all your questions, but hope I can help with some.

I don't know how many pre-req's you have, but you can still take classes this spring...you will just not get points for it. Once I am done, it will have taken me 4 years to get my degree. When I started, I was attending part time.

Getting in is based on a point system, people got into the program this year with 9 points. There are 8 prereq's that you earn 1 point for, so I have catagorize this school as easy to get in. If you have taken all your classes and have at least a 3.0 you will get in.

I would encourage you to make an appt with Jeffery the counselor. If you want to apply, you will need to take the HESI anyways ans dates fill up fast.

Good luck!
