I'm almost certain that all they look at now is your Science GPA and your HESI scores. With that being said, I would recommend retaking a class this summer if you can in order to improve your GPA....

Is your 3.5 GPA your overall GPA or your Science only GPA? I do know that for future application periods, starting with the class you're applying for, they are only looking at the HESI scores and the...

I personally haven't heard any horror stories, but I also don't currently work in the medical field where I am exposed to people that have had the experience of NS. The one thing I have heard the most...

I would like to think they are just blowing smoke to scare you. I know Nursing School is not going to be easy by any means, but I can't imagine it being that miserable. And if it is, well, we've all...

Nevermind, I found the information in our packet of paperwork. It appears I'd be better off taking an entire day off of work to get all of these things done, rather than trying to do them as time...

I will most likely be purchasing the packaged deal as well. I've never used an e-book before, but after viewing the online tutorial, I am curious to give them a try. I'm sure I could probably save...

It's official, I will be joining you guys at TCC in the Fall! I was accepted to both TCC and WC, and after a super tough time trying to decide which school to go to, I rescinded my acceptance at WC...

I just called and rescinded my acceptance into WC's program. It was a really really really tough decision for me, as I truly wanted to attend Weatherford, but the logistics of living on the D/FW side...

I think you can purchase a portion of the books at a steep discount, AND get ebook copies as well (there is a flyer from Elsevier in there somewhere). But like you said Loly, I'm gonna have to read it...

Yes. I did my Varicella (Chicken Pox) titer at the Tarrant County Health Department. I want to say it was at least $40 or $50, but I can't remember the exact price. It's somewhere towards the...

I haven't made a decision yet. I was hoping TCC's Orientation would be held before August so I could get a good feel for both schools before making my decision. I'm trying to look at all the factors...

I remember reading somewhere, in the lovely mass of paperwork :) , that flu shots are not required until September. I received a flu shot last November so technically I should still be covered, but I...
