I was told by Karen Long (Program Administrator) that most of the clinicals are in Ft. Worth Hospitals except for the Psychiatric Clinicals which are held in Wichita Falls. The Wichita Falls Clinical is a two week program and all the students in the...

Weatherford has really stepped it up in past years. Their NCLEX pass rate for the past 3 years is better than TCC.

Hi Stacygirl, You must've just missed getting in. My point total was 23 with an overall TEAS of 85.9. I really spent a lot of time studying for the TEAS. Even though I studied, my Science was low at 73.3. I don't know why I had such a problem with...

After the smoke has cleared, I'm wondering how many of you are starting to the ADN program at Weatherford in August. I'd really like to see if we can get a carpool going from the Arlington/Ft. Worth area and also talk about starting a study group, A...

I have completed my pre-req's after this semester and have applied to a couple of ADN schools. I've been assured that my scores are high enough to get into either of the schools. I will be 64 years old when I start this fall. I decided after retir...

The official turn-down letter came today.

Hi, I spoke with Jonell Mitchell. She even told me at the info session that I would have no trouble getting in. As she put it "I would just slide in there". She needs to retire. I was really bitter at first but now I think that it may be a blessin...

Hi All, I'll be commuting to Weatherford College from Arlington beginning this fall. Is there anyone in the area interested in carpooling to the ADN program?

Just to let you guys know that I heard from the counselor at TCC that I wouldn't be getting in for the fall semester because they had decided to not give me credit for PE. They had originally told me that since I had served in the Navy that I would ...

The counselor from the South Campus at TCC called me yesterday and told me that I wouldn't be getting in this fall because I didn't have my PE complete. Can you believe that? How petty can you be? Oh well, I did get into Weatherford and I'm very h...

I got my acceptance letter today too! Congrats to all!

What campus of TCC do you attend? I go to the SE campus.

Karen is a jewel. Why can't Tarrant County be as easy to deal with?

Hopefully our scores will be good enough. Thanks.

Does anyone know what the final point cut to get into Weatherford was?

I'd say you should go for it. I have an MBA in Healthcare Administration and am just finishing up the required courses for entry into an ADN program. I was in the same category with my previous salary but have decided to do what I want to do for a ...

Thanks for the message but not all of it came through. I understand that you are commuting to Weatherford from Mansfield. Thanks

I had 23. I sent an email to the coordinator asking her what the cutoff was at the present. She said that there were 90 applicants so far and that people with 20 and higher were getting in. She did say that she thought some making 20's would be al...

I applied to both too. I think that I'll get into Weatherford but TCC is iffy.

Does anyone know what a competitive score is for getting into Weatherford? My point total is 23 out of a possible 26. Thanks

Well, I may very well be the oldest nursing student when I start this fall. I'll be 64 when I start and 66 when I graduate. I plan on working another 10 years after that. This is something that I've always wanted to do but never was in the situati...
