well than this can be good news but also still bad news because if the majority of the people applying for the ADN program have more of those xtra classes completed they will get in the program over the people just wanting to obtain there ADN which is bad for the people just wanting an ADN. but it is now also good news because rumor was going around that TVCC was forcing students to take those extra classes to get there ADN even if they are not interested in getting a BSN but if the majority of applicants have all those extra classes towards there BSN it will leave ADN students on the waiting list. it would be alot better if TVCC seperated the 2 TVCC should have an ADN program for students only wanting an ADN and they should also have a BSN program for students more interested in getting a BSN but seperate the programs and the differant point levels an application processes. but this is just my opinion i doubt that would happen but it sure would be alot more helpful to the students that are trying to reach differant goals some goal are BSN but there some goals that are ADN. my personal goal is ADN to start off and than if i decide i want to make nurseing my life time career than i would go back and try and get into TVCC BSN program but if after i get my ADN and figure out that i do not want to nurseing for a life career than i will have saved my self from taking all those additional BSN classes an go ahead and major into something else. so this why im only interested in getting my ADN 1st than may be going on for my BSN. this is just my thoughts and opinion about the whole matter. But thank you any for the helpful information.

ok so what ive gathered from what your response is that i can apply for the ADN program with or with out those additional classes but it is better to have more of those classes completed to get more points to be more competitive. ok so lets say if i were to complete a few of those extra classes for extra points but not completed all of them but i still get accepted into the ADN program there at tvcc and than i completed all the classes that go with clinicals but i still had govt 2305 and govt 2306 an hist 1302 and math 1342 not completed. would tvcc still give me my ADN with out some of those extra point classes not being completed ??? or would i still need to complete them as well before tvcc lets me haven my ADN ??????

hello i take it that you might be a tvcc counselor so i have a question i need to confirm something ive heard that tvcc will now require additional classes for the ADN program. but there are alot of rumors going around that those extra classes are for extra points only and are not a need to get an associates degree in nursing there at TVCC. but i have also heard rumors that yes the extra classes are for extra points but they also will be needed to get your associates degree in nursing there at TVCC. so im trying to figure out which rumor is true??????? rumor #1. that the extra classes are only for extra points but not required to get your ADN. or rumor #2. that the extra classes are for extra points but are also going to be required in order for you to get your ADN. i went to look at tvcc website and it does not specify which of these rumors are true or not? im thinking that rumor#2 is just for people wanting there BSN and that Rumor#1 is for people just wanting there ADN with an option to get a few more points can you please clarrify all this for me?

hay rntobe i wish what your comment said was true but unfortunetly it is not the truth of the matter is i have already called and spoken with several counselors from tvcc and they all have said that the new extra classes are not only going to be for extra points but also be a requirement to get your ADN there at tvcc. now this was about a 2 months ago when i spoke with them. not unless they got so many complaints and decided to change this and not make it a requirement but as far as i was informed this will be a requirement so yes those additional classes will be forced on you to get your ADN wether you want to take them or not. lucky for you that you got in before all of these silly changes so good for you that you only have 11 days left i wish i was in your shoes. and as far as that rumor going arround that is is hard to find a job as an ADN and easir for a BSN well that is just a rumor i have plenty of fammily and friends that are ADN and LVN and they all have jobs. and even if it it were hard to find a job as an ADN it will not be like that for long because nurses are going to be more an more in demand besides thats for me to worry about thats not the schools job. the schools job is to just eudcate me and let me reach my goals wether my goals are ADN or BSN but not to try and force me to give money out of my pocket to pay for extra classes just because they are interested in a profit. and covering up the fact that they are interested in a profit by saying well we want to try and push are students towards BSN because more employers want that when the truth is they want more money spent on more classes for better profit earnings but they are just shooting them selves in the foot they are gonna loose money because people will just opt out from going to there ADN program and go to any of the other ADN programs available in north texas. well congratulations on your graduation you lucky dog you wish i could have gotten in under ther radar before they decided to make all these changes. i would have loved to attend tvcc but im looking else where at this point. ttyl

well dont you agree that they should go ahead and try to get approved by the Nursing Board of the State. and get an adn program at richland started for the students ???????????????????

blah blah blah you dont know what your talking about how is government 1 and 2 or history 1 and 2 or college algebra going to help me save a patients life what while the patient is in shock or having a stroke am i going to ask the patient what 2x+3x= or waitt may be i can prevent the patient from dying by asking him about U.S history maybe just may be the patient might be revived by knowing what year franklin or washington was president come on get real now back to the real world i cann see where you would need to know a&p or microbilogy to save a life but algebra governtment and history ???? REALLY ?? TO SAVE SOMEONES LIFE ??? OK IF YOU SAY SO BUDDY. any whoo about helen i was not being rude i was just stating the facts to her i know that your her co worker and you need to defend your fellow co workers but get your facts straight before you start making accusations that i was being rude to helen. dude wake up an get a clue......

if you disagree with my opinion about tvcc being money hungry than you do not have to participate in my forum i tell you what since you have a differant opinion why dont you go an post your own forum and give your own thoughts about the new tvcc changes. and how you think the new changes are so great and wonderful an blahh blahh blahhh

this is just a comment forum not an english class i do not have time nor do i care if my spelling is incorrwct or if i have run on sentences when i just type these responses in a hurry on the go but if i were taking an english class or writing a college essay i would pay closer attention. but again this is just a comment forum but now i know by the way you are so concerned about my comments being so perfect that you defantly have to be a professor and rep for tvcc i can just tell only a professor would be that concerned about spelling an run on sentences in a comment forum if you dont have a job and a life an the xtra time to worry about spelling an run on sentences good for you but i got places to go and things to do im not getting a grade for my opinion so bite me and no english is not my 2nd language. english is my 1st language that remark sounded very racist totally gives you away that you are a resident of east texas and you do work at tvcc.....lol no i shouldnt stereo type but if it walks like a duck looks and sounds like a duck well you know i guess that means your a hillbilly duck...lol .... now back to the real world like i was saying no you do not need all 7 of those classes for an associates degree only for a BA i dont know who told you that but they are way off. please quit straying from what is important which is the fact that tvcc is money hungry and trying to get more money out of the pockets of students this forum is not about my spelling or about your racist remarks it is about how tvcc is being crooked to the students so try an stay on point and quit trying to stray away from the real problem at hand.

Putting it politely . You must have not already done your research and spoken with any counselors before. And by your response i can tell that you do not carry an associates degree, but to obtain an associates degree in any thing. You do not need those 7 additional classes you only need those 7 addditional classes if you are wanting to obtain a bachelors degree and as for taking a 2nd english class no big deal but do not make students take 7 aditional classes on such short notice and have the common sense to know that no other associate degree in the state of texas requires these 7 additional classes only a bachelors degree requires this and now tvcc asscoiates degree rn program requires these 7 extra classes ........... Thats wack

wow they really need to start announcing this new info and changes now it is extremely in considerate and just plain rude to just pop up out of no where with all these major changes without even giving students a 2 to 3 year advance notice about this so that they can be better prepared an start taking the additional classes needed and what if they have already almost completed all the classes needed per the old degree plan an are happy that they are almost done just to all of a sudden find out they will need an additional 7 classes to complete their ADN that is a law suit waiting to happen there are RN lawyers down in austin just waiting to jump at the chance of a law suit on this believe me i know i have already started calling and getting my lawyer ready for what is to come. he told me that as far as the law goes they can not change their degree plan without giving an amplr ammount of notice in advance but some RN programs may choose to so any way not knowing that it holds up in court. but once the RN programs start getting sapinas to show up in a austin court house the RN program will need to send Their dean Their lawyer and school rep. to come to court to find out the out come in some case my lawyer informed me that these RN programs settle with a pay out to the student for being mis informed and mis guided. it is real if you do not believe me google RN lawyers in austin texas call them your self and they wil confirm it.

yess you are right you can stop at ADN but you are now being forced to take the extra classes towards your BSN even if you just only want your ADN those additional 7 classses use to not be a requirement for your ADN now there shoving those additional 7 classes down your throat weather you want a BSN or not just doesnt seem right. so lil buddy yoor right and your wrong right that you do not need to go on for your BSN but wrong in the sense that you still need to take the 7 additional BSN classes just to obtain an ADN thats wack.

GREAT for you all that want your BSN but what about the rest of us that only want an ADN to start off with and than at our own will can decide to go back for a BSN.... but not be forced to get our BSN ????? I just want to start off with my ADN because i am not sure if i want to make this my life career so i figured i would start off with an ADN and start working and if i do decide to make this my life career than i would continue on for my BSN but at my own will not being forced by TVCC. so you tell me??? whata about us that just want our ADN. I know it may not matter much to you since your wanting your BSN any way but it sure suxx for those only wanting an ADN to began with. and OMG please do not say that all of DCCCD is going to start this new silly idea like TVCC hopefully just el centro will do this only i hope the other RN programs in north texas do not decide to do this. Does any one know when el centro is going to start doing this new BSN program ?? i have not seen any info. on el centro's web site about this??? but i have seen info on TVCC web site about this.... so when is EL centro going tp do This ??? and is it all of DCCCD? or just el centro ????? omg i hope i can get in a ADN program ASAP before they decide to make this official..

it looks like word is just now starting to get out about tvcc new bad news of forcing their students to take bsn classes to obtain an associates degree in RN. there are alot more students that do not know about this yet we are just the first there will be more students posting there dislikes about this on here as time goes by we are just the first of the storm to come. and i will say those wanting there BSN is fine but please TVCC please seperate the ADN program from the BSN program let those wanting to go for a BSN take all those extra classes at there own will but do not force the other students only wanting there ADN to take the same classes of those wantimg there BSN. I just want my ADN to began with later on if i feel at my own will to get my BSN than i will do so. but i do not want to be forced to take BSN classes only to get my associates degree. thats just not right and one my professors told me that he thinks it is just all a money thing and i totally agree. this is just about TVCC trying to get more money spent on more classes. but they are gonna run students/business off and get less money because they are not the only RN program to apply for in the state. so looks like it is all down hill for TVCC once word gets out about their low consideration for the students and not giving them WARNING about these MAJOR changes then they will be known as the money hungry school not unless they decide to seperate the BSN AN ADN programs or just go back to their old brocure and plans. think about it some people have spent a year even up to 3 years especially people who work or have kids an go to school, trying to get the 8 pre requisites required than only to find out that they are going to need an additional 7 more classes just to obtain an associates degree dude that is terrible. how in considerate of TVCC man if Tvcc keeps it like this their going to get such a bad reputation. just keep periodaclly checking this posting watch there will be more comments of upsett students just word has gotten out much yet but when it does the shhhhhhhhhhh is gonna hit the fan....lol at this point im looking at other ADN programs i think TVCC is crossed off my list not unless they get so many complaints about this an change it back to what it was or seperate the bdn an adn programs. well any way thanks for the encouragement my friend and good luck to you as well in whichever road you decide to take ...
