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

    bob7rob7 replied to kellils's topic in Texas Nursing

    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...

  2. New Grad - am I doing something wrong?

    bob7rob7 replied to AhJee's topic in California Nursing

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

  3. 4.0 gpa a myth?

    bob7rob7 replied to tea_leaf's topic in Texas Nursing

    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...

  4. ? about Declatory Order and Texas BNE

    bob7rob7 replied to Ike Arumba's topic in Texas Nursing

    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....

  5. 4.0 gpa a myth?

    bob7rob7 replied to tea_leaf's topic in Texas Nursing

    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...

  6. tarrant county college

    bob7rob7 replied to sammi18's topic in Texas Nursing

    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...

  7. ? about Declatory Order and Texas BNE

    bob7rob7 replied to Ike Arumba's topic in Texas Nursing

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

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

    bob7rob7 replied to want2banurse35's topic in Texas Nursing

    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.

  9. TCC Spring '09 applicants?

    bob7rob7 replied to Corkybabe12's topic in Texas Nursing

    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...

  10. TCC TEAS questions

    bob7rob7 replied to NurseBettyICU's topic in Texas Nursing

    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...

  11. Tarrant County College students out there?

    bob7rob7 replied to Corkybabe12's topic in Texas Nursing

    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...

  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...

  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...

  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...

  15. My bad attitude

    bob7rob7 replied to jessiern's topic in Patient, Colleague 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

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

    bob7rob7 replied to nervousnurse's topic in General Nursing

    Some teachers require the care plans to be done at the hospital, and even the dosage calculations exams are done at the hospital. I think that is just silly. The care plans should be done at home...

  17. Tcc Nursing

    bob7rob7 replied to livinlife1257's topic in Texas Nursing

    Scheffer is teaching College Algebra Summer II at NE Campus. He is the best, and I highly recommend him. I looked and he has 3 openings

    bob7rob7 replied to livinlife1257's topic in Texas Nursing

    TCC South did offer a non-credit Pharmacology class Summer I. A friend of mine took it. I don't know if they have it Summer II or not. Pedi Math is the hardest thing about it. Last semester, 14...

  19. Tcc Nursing

    bob7rob7 replied to livinlife1257's topic in Texas Nursing

    Txgrlnad, you are the first person I know who got in with 3 Bs in Sciences. Congrats to you. Bs are a great grade in those very hard science classes and you should be proud. I have known people who...

  20. Tcc Nursing

    bob7rob7 replied to livinlife1257's topic in Texas Nursing

    My advice to your daughter is to take only one science at a time, and to take as many other classes online as possible. The sciences are a full-time job, as they have a lab. Especially A&P I, and...

  21. TCC Spring '09 applicants?

    bob7rob7 replied to Corkybabe12's topic in Texas Nursing

    Depending on the number of applicants, which is usually alot, this much is a fact. All pre-reqs need to be finished before you apply. If you are still in the class when you apply, the class is not...
