This is what it states in the information packet which is available on the nursing webage at www.tccd.edu/nursing The following courses must be completed prior to applying to the nursing program: CHEM 1406- Essentials of General and Biological Chemistry BIOL 2401-Anatomy & Physiology I MATH 1314 or completion of a college-level mathematics course or by a placement test score of a minimum level of elementary algebra. I hope this helps.

This is totally not true at all. I had Bs in both A&Ps and in Chemistry and an A in Micro and I got in just fine. In fact my final GPA was only a 3.5 I believe. Granted, I did extremely well on the TEAS, but they're all looked at when you apply. Please don't think that if you got a B in a science class that you need to take it over before you even apply. You might be surprised.

I am currently in my third semester at TCC and I got in with 3 Bs and an A in my science classes. I had an overall GPA of 3.5. Do not believe the hype. Yes, it greatly increases your chances to have better grades, but it is not the end of the world if you get a B.

Letters were dated November 16th last year but I don't if they're doing everything the same this time around. Good luck to everyone!!! :balloons:

I can personally verify that it is possiblt to get into TCC with a GPA of 3.2. My TEAS scores were in the 98th percentile though. When I applied for last spring, I still had 2 pre-reqs to go so I was only put on the waitlist. When I applied again for this Fall, I got in! Don't believe all that hype. Just go ahead and apply!!

name: melissa school: tarrant county college, ft. worth, texas program: adn what area of interest at this time: i have always wanted to do labor and delivery. we'll see if i still do after that semester! biggest fear: a cross between being able to afford and being able to juggle school/daycare/a 1 year old/never seeing my husband/photography business...etc... what you'd like us to know about you: lots of things! 1. i met my husband on the internet...we've been married 4 1/2 years already! 2. i grew up in daytona beach but i am sooooo glad i got away from there! 3. i am a beginning photographer and love to take pictures of newborns and young children. i am hoping that i'll be able to make some money doing this while in school to help absorb costs. 4. my husband and i are huge, long-time fans of blue october. he's even sung on stage with them twice! hmmm....can't think of anything of else at the moment.

I'm done with all of my pre-reqs (all of which I've paid with cash as I've gone) so all I have left is nursing school. Ours (ADN program) lists a total of $5000.00 which includes graduation fees. Not too shabby!

I personally worked a 40+ hour a week job during most of my pre-reqs (including ALL of my sciences) and I did just fine. That being said, I have since become a stay-at-home mom and will stay that way through nursing school, which I start in the Fall. The course load and time that is required to study for nursing school is outragous and our school highly recommends that you don't work during it. I think once they get a few weeks into it, they'll probably realize it wasn't such a good idea. They just might have to realize that for themselves.

The only other class I took at NE was Micro...and that was only for a few weeks in the Fall of '05. I was pregnant and got diagnosed with gallstones. We weren't allowed to miss more than one lab without losing major points so I just dropped it. Oh well...looks like we did just miss each other!

I took Carmichael too for both classes and I LOVED her! She really made it a point to make sure everyone understood before she moved on. Plus, she was incredibly approachable. Jaxia - when did you take her? I had her Fall '04 and Spring '05.

I always buy mine online too. Whenever I'm in the bookstore getting ISBN's, I put them into my phone so it looks like I'm sending a text message. I know they can't kick you out or anything for doing it, I'd just rather they not know at all! I can't wait for this darn orientation so I can start working on stuff!

Yayyyyyy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Congratulations :monkeydance: I guess I'll be seeing you at the orientation!

Just got my letter today! I've been accepted for the fall semester at TCC. AHHHHH!!!! Somebody pinch me!

I got mine - and I got in!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Holy crap...I can't even think straight right now. You all should have yours today too!

Mine usually arrives at around 1:30 so I'll post as soon as it gets here. Good luck everyone!

Same here!! I have been sick as a dog today and the only time I got off the couch was when I heard the mailman come around the corner. I swear, I'm gonna lose it if that letter doesn't get here soon!

Yeah, this is my second go 'round. I was an alternate last semester so I had like 4 months of people bugging me! I've applied to TCC and UTA. My grades weren't high enough for UTA though. Good luck to you!!

I can't check admission status online, but I do check here multiple times daily to see if anyone else has gotten their letters. My stomach does flips everytime I see that there's a new post! My family and friends drove me crazy asking if I got in last semester, but they've been pretty good about it this time around. What school are you applying to Jezziemis?

I'm waiting on TCC too... I know they were 2 weeks early last Fall so I've been starting to stalk the mailman already!

I was waitlisted for the Spring semester at TCC so I know how you feel. I didn't end up getting in but the nursing office said that I was "near the bottom" of the list. Good luck to you though!!!

Still waiting here! If they do like they did last year, we should have them in about a week. I'm about to lose my frickin' mind!!!!

will do! just promise me you'll do the same!!!

it's supposed to be the beginning of may but they were sent out a week or two early last semester. let's hope it's the same this time around! can someone please just put me in a coma or something so i can stop stressing about this stupid letter?! p.s. good luck!

No, I took mine last September and the results are good for one year. I don't think I could handle the stress of taking that thing again! Other than orientation, I'm ready to go. There's a study guide available online that was really helpful for me...I want to say that they gave us the web address at the orientation. Good luck and hope to see you in class this Fall!!!!!!

I actually haven't signed up for one yet. The one I went to last Fall wasn't that big of a deal. It was actually quite informative. It's just finding a sitter that's a pain in the booty!
