ralepine- Did you pass???

Did you pass???? My Uworld average is also 70%. My test is Wednesday. My Kaplan average is lower. I think Kaplan is a lot harder than UWorld.

Congrats everyone! I am so excited that you will be starting this journey at TCC! Like I said a few weeks ago, it really is a fantastic program! I am the newly elected Vice President of the TCC-TNSA (Texas Nursing Student Association). I encourage you all to be as involved as you can with various professional nursing organizations, including TNSA, and volunteering throughout your education. It is a great way to network and give back to the community. If someone makes a Facebook page just be sure it is a closed group with only one or two admins who can add new members and that posts are appropriate and professional. If you search Facebook you will see how other semesters named their pages. Again congrats and be sure to introduce yourselves at orientation! If you have any questions, let me know and I will guide you if I can.

Hi everyone! I am a current student in my OB/PEDI semester and graduate in December. Waiting is the hardest part and I remember it well! I wish you all luck! This program, the faculty, the students... it is amazing! Can't wait to see you at orientation!

So if we still have to get the last of our vaccines after November 15th will we not get a schedule?

Oh ok freak out over! So I talked to Dana at the main healthcare services number and she's awesomely nice. Anyway, she said that 6 months was the old recommendation but if the vaccine giver will give it to you early that's fine to go ahead and do it. Whew! Crisis averted onto the next! I'm going to run over to Walgreens and get a flu shot real quick, my physical is on December 2nd. That's the soonest they could get me in. Dana said that the packets with all the forms in it won't be sent our another week or so and the physical form is in that. Hope this helps someone! Has elevate replied back on whether accepted or not? Off to join the Facebook group.

What number do I call?

Question about hep B... The school says six months apart. So for example 1st shot on August 1, second on Sept 1 ... So the third can't be done until February 1? I'm curious because the CDC and the public health clinic said my third shot is 4 months from the first which means third would be December 4th. Here is the link for the CDC info. http://www.cdc.gov/vaccines/schedules/hcp/imz/adult.html Where is everyone else at with these? I have to get my last hep A in early February, but they said that's not a problem. Other than that I just need my flu shot which I plan to get tomorrow. If I get turned away after all this I'm going to freak out!

Sorry for the delay- she had a 3.75 and an 86. What were your scores?

I got in!!! Crying tears of joy! My friend is on alternate so chances are she'll get in too! Congrats everyone!!!! So grateful... We are going to be nurses!

I apologize if I came off neurotic and know it all... This is what waiting has done to me and it's not one of my finer qualities.

4.0/4.0= 100 3.75/4.0= 93.75 3.5/4.0= 87.5 Etc I could be wrong though....

I think it was ktm89 for from fall 2013 that told us how they average your score. And then my friend asked how they break a tie and she said they look at your math Hesi.

Since they only look at our science GPA everyone has been posting that and their HESI score. Then the school averages your scores to rank you. So 3.75 GPA and 92 HESI= 93.75+92= 185.75/2= 92.875. If there's a tie and they can only accept one more they use your math HESI.
