    400! Woooooow. And there are still three days left to get apps in. Crazy! I have read a few of the 2019 threads in here and definitely saw people with two Bs getting in with high HESI scores. I know it depends on the applicant pool, but I think you'...

    Can I Be a Nurse?

    I wouldn't give up just yet. Math can be learned. Get your GED, and then enroll at a community college in your area and talk to an adviser. You will need to take some basic math courses first before you can take the college level math courses require...

    Any TCC - Tarrant County College Spring 2020 hopefuls?

    Yes! I am taking a full load of classes for the same reason, lol. I am taking Math 1332, sociology, English 1302, and History this semester. These classes also apply towards the BSN, so it's good to get them out the way now before we are busy with ...

    Hi LoveVy, welcome. I think your HESI score puts you in there! ? Are you taking any classes this Fall semester? I can't believe we have an entire month to wait.

    Which job would you take?

    I have personally gone from a 10 minute commute, to an hour long commute (for a former non-nursing job, I'm just a nursing student at this point). Let me tell you...it sucked! It adds two hours to your workday, and fighting traffic makes you mentall...

    It said that my Spring 2020 nursing application had been received and processed, that no further information was needed, and to check emails the end of September / early October for notification. This was sent to my TCC email addy.

    Yes. Did you turn yours in? I turned my app in last week. The lady in the office reviewed it right then and there, and I received a confirmation a few days ago. I need September to go by quickly!

    Why is there a 7 year limit on prerequisites for nursing?

    With nursing, you are dealing with people's lives. The anatomy and physiology knowledge needs to be fresh. On the other hand, if someone has a math degree they haven't used in 10 years, no one is going to die because they forgot how to graph a diffe...

    Any TCC - Tarrant County College Spring 2020 hopefuls?

    Thank you! I remember getting an email on this. I definitely plan on getting my BSN after graduating from TCC. I've only looked at details for UTA so far. How is everyone's progress going? I have one more week of micro and lifespan, then I am DONE w...

    Any TCC - Tarrant County College Spring 2020 hopefuls?

    Hey lurve! Firstly...great grades! You can get a referral for any of the credit by examination exams from online advising. The test are taken at the testing center at Trinity, I believe. But, I think the deadline for the fast track option was in Mar...

    Problems Before Nursing School

    Definitely check with your school to see if they offer healthcare for students. Most of them do. Also, a lot of the time "stable transportation" just means you can show that you have a reliable way to get back and forth to campus. If you don't own a ...

    Did I bomb this phone interview?

    I don't think she would have gone over the details of orientation and explaining what a typical day is like, had you bombed the interview. Unpredictable hours are not an bad reason to be looking for a new job, either. Employers want honesty. I don't...
  20. Have you had your resume reviewed or redone by a professional? I used to work in an office with a cubicle next to a recruiter. The things that make them toss applications to the side are numerous... An email address that isn't professional Small typ...

    Permanently Kicked out of Practicum

    I think this is less about talking in the OR and more about not following directions. It's unfortunate you have to repeat the course, but from what I read, you were told to stop talking twice, and on the third conversation attempt, they threw you out...

    Should I leave nursing school, even if I just started?

    Hey willowmadrone. Not that I am an expert or anything, as I am finishing up my nursing pre-reqs as we speak, but there are so many varied branches of nursing you can go into that will fill that niche. Like you, I love love science and all my science...
  23. Oh - one more thing. Brookhaven is 16 months, Mountain View is 18 months, and the others are traditional 24 month programs. Hopefully that helps!
  24. It's the community colleges with GREAT programs and most have dual enrollment options with UTA and TWU. Tarrant county college is a 24 month program and requires 3 pre-reqs - AP 1, AP 2, and Micro. The application process is very straight forward - ...
