    Kristen and Loly, thank you for your encouraging words! Yeah, yesterday was tough and your posts really helped me gain some perspective. I agree that calling is not going to do anything at this point....

    Thx Student! Well, I'm pretty sure if I get in I won't be buying the bundle package, especially since you didn't use the skills book. I went to HPB just to look around and came back with Clinical...

    Oh Christin, I'm genuinely sorry to hear that! My husband flies for American so we're doing the 'wait and see' as well. I left my job with the airlines in part to pursue nursing so I'm not working...

    vc, mine have grey on the treading which you can see from the front and sides. But overall, they're white. I'll try to post a pic to let you see. As long as they're predominantly white, I think you'd...

    Kate you deserve them after all this waiting anxiety! I've been keeping my eye on the Skechers and I see they're running out of sizes, not just mine. I think you guys were looking at the Premix right?...

    thanks for the info, manow! I think all I need are the 4 required books and a care plan. Still have my drug and med dictionary from A&P and pharmacology. Glad to know about the TCC database too....

    maamcdonald replied to caitlyn181603's topic in Texas Nursing

    I was looking at Majors Bookstore online and saw that TCC only has four books listed for semester 1 students. I thought that was rather low so compared a few other schools and noticed that their book...

    LOL! I already knew it was Thursday because I looked it up a few weeks back. I had a hunch they might be contacting us and when I found out it was also a Thursday, I got so excited! Then a couple days...

    Okay peeps I'm ready to find out this week! I had to laugh, I read somewhere on here how the wait to start nursing school is worse than the wait to find out if you're accepted. I'm going to state now...

    from looking at past scores from the previous semesters, i think most of us on here have a great chance of being accepted this fall. this wait is just putting a lot of doubt in our minds. thankfully,...

    maamcdonald replied to caitlyn181603's topic in Texas Nursing

    Hope-- you and I have the exact same scores (4.0/94.5). Before I took the Hesi, the counselor said I'd have to get a 90 to be competitive so I was happy with my score. It seems the key factor getting...

    maamcdonald replied to caitlyn181603's topic in Texas Nursing

    I'll have to take a look at it. I'm questioning myself daily if I did the right thing by taking 4 summer school classes. Part of me thinks it's wise to be tackling the medical math and reading as much...
