For us, there were spots for people with extenuating circumstances (i.e. weddings, babies) and then for those who had high GPAs. There were definitely more people who applied for the spots than got to take summer classes.

They have a fast track program at TCC and if they have open spots they will let students with high GPAs and those with extenuating circumstances to take the summer classes. I started at TCC in January 2012 and finished August 2013.

@Diamond, did you get in? Hey all! I'm a former student as well. I'm pretty sure that @MurseFockerRN was in my adult clinical and the advice he has provided is pretty sound. I was able to graduate a semester early, as I was selected for the summer cl...

I worked mid-shift: 11a-11p

@tiffanies, The job market is tough. Throughout nursing school you will have time to make yourself more marketable. Get a PCT job. My initial PCT job was full-time and I did it through school working for $12/hour and 36 hours/week. It was tough. But ...

Hey everyone, I just stopped by for a little bit of nostalgic reading... I started nursing school at TCC in Spring 2012 with a bachelors degree and a 3.5GPA and a 90 HESI score (or something like that). I was wait-listed and then later emailed with ...

This is truly a thread for the times! I graduated in August and recently passed boards... onto the job hunt. I am in the Dallas, Tx area and work at a large hospital in a large hospital system as a tech. Luckily, I have been blessed with 4 interview...

So the interview is just 5 people interviewing one person at a time, right? Did anyone get a tour of the unit?

Hello! I am interviewing on the 26th for the ER residency. Does anyone know how many people they are accepting. Looks like they could be interviewing as many as 60 people. Good luck to you all today!! Hope we all get to work together!

Hey Alian18, I started at TCC in Spring 2012 and my experience at TCC has been great! Your clinical groups are never more than 10 students and my largest theory class was probably no greater than 30 students. For the most part, every teacher I've had...

Correction: immunizations... Autocorrect Oh and I'm happy to say that I will have classes with some of you, my schedule is: Clinical Thursday 7:30-7:30 with theory m/w 10-11:50am and skills on monday 1:30-4:30. Abrn: do you know people who have bee...

Does anyone know if we have to resubmit our unmunizations if the paperwork we turned in for out application included all of our vaccines?

So, I ordered my name tags today. But I just gave them my name... will they know to put SN after it? And it was great to meet you all today!! Can't wait until January 17!

Congratulations to everyone who got accepted!! Does anyone know if we'll get our schedules at orientation?

So, I paid for my skills pack and CPR today, but I'm confused, how do we sign up for a day for our CPR class? 9 days until orientation!

one more question for now... Is anyone taking their CPR through TCC NW? I had a class there over the summer and I remember seeing advertisements for a CPR class there. I just thought that $50 was pretty expensive and was wondering if anyone else was ...

And I can buy the skills kit at the TR bookstore? I'll try and pick that up tomorrow. And thanks Rossy, I have printed the parking pass out.

Cool. I'll meet you all there, too! And thanks for posting where everything is. I've only been to the TR campus 2x and that was just to turn in stuff. And to be clear, orientation is at the TR campus and not the TR-east campus? Also, is there anythi...

Ordered my stethescope today!! It was a big purchase but I can't wait until it gets here. Just curious, what kind of stethoscope did everyone get?

does anyone know the first day of class?

@cross, thanks. I think I might just have to go to the computers on campus or something to work this out. And how exactly does the background check work, too? Gosh, I feel so needy. Sorry about that. @AJK, our deadline for acceptance is 11/14. Good l...

So, I'm not going to lie... I can't even figure out how to send the acceptance form back as it won't let me save a copy... any advice?

Now I completely understand why everyone else was talking about getting things done. I hope I don't forget anything!! I'm so happy to join you all and AJK, I am holding out hope that you'll get in too!!

I got in also!!!!!!!!!!! I was #10. @Angela: My two cents on the situation with taking the sciences classes: If it was me, I would agree with what you've head, taking chemistry before any of the sciences is my recommendations. However in light of you...

I didn't even apply to UTA but I want them to make decisions! I'm on the alternate list for TCC and I figure the sooner UTA makes decisions, the sooner I will get to know if TCC will be accepting more people. C'mon UTA!
