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 on the TEAS in order to compete. I would recommen...

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

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 Completed are the top things looked at. Also, ver...

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. Good Luck.

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 100 4.0 students, then they go by submission date. ...

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 the Teas and a 4.0 GPA who did not get in a few seme...

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

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. B

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 lucky because a pregnant person dropped out. The ...

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 questions, and English is mostly parts of sentenc...

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 immunizations. The 2nd time I applied, I had retaken ...

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 at the hospital where they are underfoot. Students...

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 many people for there not to be some truth to it. I ...

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 everywhere in society, but has no business in the medi...

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 blame.

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 and the dosage calculations exams at the school.

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 left.

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 folks failed and were chucked out, according to what...

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 had 3 As and 1 B, and one person who had 4 As who...

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 II, as most of the learning is done outside the cl...

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 counted. For example, if you are in Micro in the fall...
