Hello all!!! I will be starting the BSN program at TCU in the fall as a transfer student and I was just wondering if there were any of you out there I could talk to!! I am going to having advising with Zoranna this Friday and was just wondering if ...

I applied for fall admission 2012 to the traditional BSN program at TCU. Just wondering if there was ANYONE else out there...would love to be able to talk to someone while awaiting an acceptance letter!!!

Yes, it was sent to my TCU email account. We have oreintation on August 16th from 8am-1:30pm in Bass Building Room 105, and then we have practicum oreintation on Monday August 20th from 9am-12pm in the same room. Bring picture ID. If you want me t...

YAY!!! Did you get the email about orientation? I received my books yesterday via UPS...I started flipping through a few of them. Some of them are VERY large books. LOL. So how is stats going?? How's your summer? Exactly a month from today cla...

I wouldn't think that we needed a book for practicum but then again, I have no clue really. LOL!! I would think that the things we learn in Fundamentals lecture and lab would be from the text books, and that the practicums are more "hands-on" learn...

Good to hear...I took it over the summer too, it makes it go a lot faster :) I am ready for August 20th myself!!! Woo-hoo...we are TCU nursing students!! YAY!!!!

No, I haven't purchased any yet. I was waiting on Stephanie to assure me that we needed ALL of them before I bought ALL of them. LOL. I am sure what they say is required is actually "required", I've just had such a bad experience in the past with ...

Excellent question, Amy - I was wondering the same thing myself. Should we start reading ahead? Also, do we REALLY require ALL the books the bookstore says we need for our classes? I have my 6:30 am class on Wednesday...it is going to be interesting ...

Hey Stephanie!!! Thanks for replying to our thread...yes, we are all giddy!! They had 174 applicants and they only took 24 of us, so it is a great honor!! Although the wait for the acceptance letter was torture! How is it going?? Well, you answe...

Ha!! Exactly. At least it's just the price of an expensive car, and not a 5-bedroom house in the Hamptons or something :) It's definitely an investment, but we will be so proud to have TCU on our degrees when we graduate :) I wish they would sen...

I keep telling myself "It's all going to be worth it!!!" So, each semester costs roughly what a small Kia would cost. It's all good, right?? LOL!

Okay guys...got to view my ez-bill on my.tcu.edu this morning. The total is $17,775. Tuition is $17,250 and the rest of the charges are fees for the drug screen, standardized testing, liability insurance, etc.

Well, sounds like we have a lot in common then! I am a mother of two, daughter Danielle, 14, and son, Christopher, 12 (I am single though, been divorced since 2004, married right out of high school, but mine didn't last :) I live in North Richland ...

Hey Amy - first off, I would talk to financial aid as soon as possible. I don't know what you have to do in your situation, but mine was taken care of and all I had to do was accept/decline on the my.tcu.edu site. Have you gone to that site yet? Anyw...

Ha ha!! I feel the same way...I wanted to lose 10-15 pounds over the summer, but now it's so freaking hot outside I can't hardly stand it. Oh well, maybe the heat will allow me to sweat the 10-15 pounds off!! I thought the CPR class was a great de...

Yes, is definitely going to be different, actually stuyding. LOL. So did you check out the CPR website? I am probably going to go down to the scrub store this weekend and get some scrubs and my patches. I got my nametag at the book store...it say...

I am taking it at a place called CPR Training Services in Keller. It's American Heart Association certified for all types of CPR, including Health Care Providers. It's $50 and the class is from 6:30-8:30pm next Tuesday (July 3rd). Check out the we...

Hi Amy!!! Welcome!!! Glad you got pulled from the waitlist in a reasonable time period!! I was reading one of these forums from last year and a girl got notified she got in off the wait list 4 days before school started!!! Anyway, welcome welcome...

Well, thank you for the info!! I am glad the patches are cheap, I figured they would be more expensive. How do you prove that you're a TCU student to get the 15% discount? The scrubs don't sound too expensive either. I may try to go up there tomo...

Oh man, that stinks!! But I love statistics, it's a fun class!!! I took it last summer. That is a bummer only because we won't be in the same section AND you'll have classes 5 days a week. Some prefer to spread them out, I'd rather have the 3-da...

Sooooo....how did it go????

Well, thank you, thank you I totally agree about the books, if we can get them ANYWHERE cheaper then I am down for that. Last semester I was taking an American Lit II class, and the book was $200. Turns out I didn't even need to buy it because th...

Oh, yeah, I didn't even think to ask about text books! Let me know what you find out about that too...I don't want to fall behind either. Sounds like you have plenty of experience though, and you seem very intelligent, I doubt you're going to have ...

That's my goal, too...4.0!!! :) So med/surg is boring?? I guess I can see how it would be. Labor and delivery just seems fun, the doctors are goofy, and even though the patients can be a whiney pain in the butt (LOL), they are really happy afterwa...

I have done some rotations at JPS in the emergency room, and I liked the face-paced nature of it, but I have always wanted to work in OB/GYN. My daughter was born very prematurely and I was only 20 when she was born, so I was young, and afraid, and ...
