i am about to enter complex at tcc ~ so, the info you have gotten is correct with the exception of theory possibilities. last semester in pedi/ob, i had a 4 hour/once a week theory class and i have the same once a week class for complex. so essentially, i have only had 2 days a week tied up with school (we all know its so much more than that, but only 2 official days.) aren't you at uta? i believe we have a friend in common. :) i have a very close friend who is there who is a single mom w/ 4 kids. :) good luck! missy ~ mom to 2 great kids, rn to be dec'08, currently a student nurse extern at hmsw

As of the class that started in Jan '07 (the class I am in!) you no longer get bonus points for medical terminology, patho, pharm, dimensional analysis, etc. It is a straight points system off your classes completed and TEAS. Good Luck!!! Missy TCC SN Class of Dec 08!!!!

I was at Plaza for the spring semester. I liked it. There is a lot of griping amongst the nurses for short staffing constantly. But there was a lot of good opportunities to watch procedures, have great nurses go over procedures (IV, catheter's, etc). All Saints (Baylor) DT = Baylor All Saints Down Town. TCC goes to all the hospitals downtown for clinicals. Who do you have for theory and clinicals? I am at Baylor for Adult this Fall and JPS for Psych starting in July. Missy

The Elkin, Perry, Potter and the Jarvis have online components. Have fun Friday! I am off to my foundations one on one evaluation tomorrow morning. Missy RN in '09 TCC

ok, i'll answer as many of these as possible, though i am sure they will go over a lot of this at orientation/camp success. a typical week... m/w theory 10am-11:50am; then off to the hospital to pick my patient for the next day, then home to work on my paperwork for the next day. t/th clinical from 6:45-12:45, and on tuesdays, skills class from 2-5pm. i try to get all of my reading for the following week done on friday/sat/sun. we usually meet 2-3 times a week to practice skills for our check offs. i got some of my books (taber's, drug book, care plan book, med surg book, etc online or at bookstores, etc) there are a few books that you must buy at the tcc bookstore for the online component, well actually you could buy them elsewhere, but the online component is another $50, so its quite pricey to do it that way. jarvis and elkin perry potter have the online component. the nurse pak is a bunch of supplies you have to have for skills lab and practice of skills for checkoffs, etc. anything else? =) hope to have helped!!!! missy rn to be, tcc december '08

congratulations!!!!!!!!!!! welcome to the tcc adn program!!! see ya next semester!!!!:balloons::balloons::balloons: missy tcc rn 2 be dec '08

Ladies, the letters from TCC should be on the way soon! They have orientation set up for May 4!!!! So they have to have a little time for some responses before that. Good Luck! :-) Missy TCC RN in Dec '08

Unfortunatly, they are VERY strict. I got my last hep B shot on the day we were able to petition for classes. If I had not, I would have not been allowed to register or attend clinical. My best friend is at UTA and they have the option of a waiver, but TCC won't take a waiver if you have started the immunizations. Or at least this is what I was told. I would definately ask, because if you get in, you may be able to protest the waiver thing. Good Luck! Hope to see you in the summer!

Yep, I am a Foundations student at TCC. The wait is definately killer. :trout: Missy :balloons:RN in 2008

TCC applicants ~ last spring, the letters were received the last 1-2 weeks in April if I remember correctly. Sorry! I remember the waiting. This semester has been surreal so far! Best of luck to y'all!:balloons: Missy :balloons:RN in December '08:balloons:

I had Ms. Tucker. She was pretty good. They have a specialized text for TCC that a lot of instructors use. I happen to have one for sale if you or anyone you know needs it. It was $100 new and the bookstore is no longer buying texts back that have/had internet codes. Ms. Tucker offers the needed codes to her students every semester though, so it seems like a new bookstore scam. UGH Anyhow, if you need the book and are interested in used I am more than happy to make you a great deal.

I have a friend who is starting school in January at UTA. She just had a baby and her Hep B series won't be complete. The secretary told her she could fill out a form, fax it and the state would send a waiver. Anyone know where to find this info? Thanks! Missy :balloons:Starting TCC ADN program in Jan '07!!!! WAHOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:balloons:

(((Hugs))) I 'm sorry.

Congrats!!!! But you're still taking the UTA spot, right?

WAHOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!! I got in!!!!!

:chair:I just need to know something one way or another.... My dang mail lady comes early on Saturdays and rarely brings newly sorted mail. UGH I've completed all my pre req's. Have an 82.4 TEAS composite ( 91 nat'l percentile). 3.5 overall GPA, 3.75 science GPA. I just need to know something one way or another, like you, I've got to get plans set for my kiddos. Hopefully, we'll get to hook up in January.

Nope, I'm still waiting. Do you mind sharing your stats? Are you done with all pre req's, gpa, teas, etc? Congrats on the alternate list though, that's still a good shot!:)

Thanks! I know its a bit early, but I am sick of waiting already... Congratulations to you on UTA! I would love to have been able to swing those 3 pre req's there this semester to try for spring there, but sadly I couldn't swing it without loans and I'm just not ready to go there yet. A good friend of mine is taking the classes at UTA this semester and recently got her acceptance there as well, it has exacerbated my anxiety.

I am sure there are at least a few of us. I know our potential stalking of the mail man has just begun. I feel pretty good, but am still terrified. Melissa

I'm still waiting on anything from TCC (Tarrant County College). In theory, they say December, but I know last semester they were supposed to come out in May, but were received in mid-late April. Melissa
