  1. Tarrant County College?

    Katydidit34 replied to momto2beauties's topic in Texas Nursing

    No, they aren't special order. As long as you get the right colors and put the school patches on the sleeves, you are free to get them wherever you like. Some people get them at wal mart, scrubs...

  2. Disrespecting the cadavers

    Katydidit34 replied to Rohan's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    They have no idea what a privilege it is to get to study on a real human. Where I live, only medical students have access to cadavers for dissection. Aside from what sounds like some coping strategies...

  3. Tarrant County College?

    Katydidit34 replied to momto2beauties's topic in Texas Nursing

    Blue? HAHAHAHAHA!! I wish we were so lucky!! No, TCC has the lovely white top with teal pants uniform. UGH!! Not a campus favorite I can assure you. But, I guess we're happy to be wearing a...

  4. Questions about Dallas

    Katydidit34 replied to cammy429's topic in Texas Nursing

    Don't get hung up on the property tax issue either. It's really not that bad. It totally depends on the town and county you live in. My property taxes are about 2400/year and I know that is cheap,...

  5. Tarrant County College?

    Katydidit34 replied to momto2beauties's topic in Texas Nursing

    I'm sorry I didn't answer this sooner. It's been a crazy week!! Yes, I did. At the time I applied there were only two being offered. They didn't have the medical terminology class yet. The DA...

  6. Tarrant County College?

    Katydidit34 replied to momto2beauties's topic in Texas Nursing

    I just heard about this, this week. I was surprised. Hopefully they'll keep the dimensional analysis class because for the mathematically challenged, such as myself, it was really helpful. I wonder...

  7. Tarrant County College?

    Katydidit34 replied to momto2beauties's topic in Texas Nursing

    The way I understand it, the TCC nursing department uses a point system. Meaning that for every grade you've earned you get so many points. For example and A=so many points and so on, your TEAS test...

  8. Tarrant County College?

    Katydidit34 replied to momto2beauties's topic in Texas Nursing

    I just kept taking stuff that would go toward a bachelors like, Sociology, Nutrition, and extra elective, etc. If I didn't get in last fall, I was going to take that math and history I've been...

  9. Tarrant County College?

    Katydidit34 replied to momto2beauties's topic in Texas Nursing

    Believe it or not, it was a letter grade in chemistry. I think. When I made it to the alternate list I had a C and retook it and made a B. I honestly believe that was the only difference. That and...

  10. Tarrant County College?

    Katydidit34 replied to momto2beauties's topic in Texas Nursing

  14. Weatherford LVN-ADN?

    Katydidit34 replied to RedHeadNurse2B's topic in Texas Nursing

    I have heard the same thing about their ADN program. Their NCLEX pass rates have been very low and they are on some sort of academic probation with the BNE. In fact, it's mentioned in one of the BNE...

  15. Tarrant County College?

    Katydidit34 replied to momto2beauties's topic in Texas Nursing

    I know. The waiting is so tough. Just hang in there. May will be here before you know it. When the time is right, you'll get in. I had applied for Spring '05 and didn't get in. I was so...

  17. Tarrant County College?

    Katydidit34 replied to momto2beauties's topic in Texas Nursing

    They arrange clinicals by zip code and then somehow divide everyone up. The Department Secretary has to do it because she sets us up in the computer and then has to pettition the college for us to...

  18. Tarrant County College?

    Katydidit34 replied to momto2beauties's topic in Texas Nursing

    The best thing you can do is rest in the knowledge that you have a strong application. It is unbelievable the amount of people who apply at once. The cool thing is that TCC takes 100 people per...

  19. Tarrant County College?

    Katydidit34 replied to momto2beauties's topic in Texas Nursing

    The med sheets we have to fill out are extremely detailed and take forever to fill out. Pts in ICU can be on a TON of meds. By the time you get to the last semester, I can see how someone would avoid...

  20. Tarrant County College?

    Katydidit34 replied to momto2beauties's topic in Texas Nursing

    I'm in my second semester at TCC. I will be keeping my fingers crossed for you. I remember what it's like to wait for the news to come in the mail. TCC has a fantastic program. Hang in there, May...

    Katydidit34 posted a topic in General Nursing

    I'm a second semester nursing student. I have the most horrendous crap in my chest. It is very heavy and hard to breathe. I have clinical tomorrow and I'm debating on wheather or not to go. I...

  22. Another Declaratory Order Question

    Katydidit34 posted a topic in Texas Nursing

    When you read the form to file the petition, it doesn't say anything about charges that were dismissed. I have a theft by check 20 charge from '91 that was dismissed, that shows up on the county...

  23. Any info on Weatherford College Nursing Program?

    Katydidit34 replied to Deltadawn72's topic in Texas Nursing

    I personally wouldn't bother with Weatherford, especially if they are on some kind of probation due to a bad pass rate on the NCLEX. Also, they only take 30 students per application period so the...

  24. fat ankles

    Katydidit34 replied to fat ankles's topic in General Nursing

    In my state, a GN obtains a permit from the Board of Nurse Examiners to practice pending NCLEX results. The permit is only good for a certain amount of time. However, a graduate nurse is allowed to...
