Hey everyone, I would like to start a new thread for all the nursing students who got accepted into the Tidewater Community College Beazley School of Nursing 2013-2014. I will be starting in the August cohort and would like to meet some of my future ...

MIABeck, Have you talked with financial aid about the GI Bill? I believe that even though the time spent is full time, we still only get part time status because the actual number of credits taken. I have been getting financial aid (although not the...

Bumble B, I know several students in my cohort who are doing the concurrent enrollment and doing well. You just need to be a motivated person to stay on task and get assignments/ reading done ahead of time. This first year of the program is extremel...

Bumble B, I am starting NUR201 next Monday, so I've been in since August 2013. The courses are fast paced (8 weeks each), the instructors expect you to come prepared for each class and there are group projects. I work full time and have a family and ...

CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!! Enjoy this time before classes start because it will be a whirlwind once you begin!

Yes, It is quite busy! The first class (NUR108) meets 4 days a week and when you aren't in class you are studying. The second class is a little less busy - but by no means easy. It meets 3 days a week for the first 4 weeks and then only 1 time per we...

Best of luck to you all! I pray that you all get accepted and start this crazy journey soon.

SipesMD, When I received my acceptance letter it did come with information on things that needed to be completed before the start of the semester. It will have all the physical requirements as well as the background check. Make sure you get everythi...

Spicersweeney, There really isn't any advice I can give you other than that. The tests are different from any tests we took up to this point. It is all about applying your knowledge. The questions are critical thinking questions. You need to take yo...

Well, the end of nur108 is near. We have our comprehensive final on Tuesday and then a one day break before the next class starts. This class was very fast paced and if I can offer any advice it would be to keep up on the reading, and form study grou...

Spicersweeney, yesterday was packed full of information. We covered 4 chapters in our fundamentals book. We get 30 minutes for lunch and its not enough time to leave campus. They gave us extra time yesterday and I had to rush in order to eat my food....

I am also attending Camp Nightingale. I look forward to seeing everyone there. Hey, does anyone in cohort 1 want to switch to cohort 2? A friend of mine is in cohort 2 and would like to switch to cohort 1 if possible. Let me know and I can get you in...

Krystal, I am planning on working full time during the program but I am getting pretty apprehensive about doing so. I will try it out; hopefully I will be able to do both.

bananaphone, I applied while I was in the Spring'13 microbiology class. They do not make decisions as to who will get into the program until after the grades are posted for the Spring semester. So, if you are taking those classes when you apply, jus...

Krystal, I think that is a great idea. Let me know when you sent up the facebook page and I will definitely be joining. I am feeling a little stressed just thinking about the grading policy and how anything under an 80 is considered failing. Congratu...

That's great! Are you planning on taking A&P2 and Micro together? That's going to be a heavy load. A&P goes into a lot of depth in the physiology aspect of the course and micro is a quiz every time you go to lab. (once a week) Not sure which ...

Thanks Mandiiieee, I will keep you updated! Have been accepted into the program or are you trying to finish up prerequisites? Don't forget with the MYCAA, you have to put in the request a minimum of 15 days before your class starts or they will not ...

Okay, I was able to get it to send this time. In order to retrieve the email, go up to the top of the page. Under the "Colleges" tab is a link to your inbox. It has the envelop logo, click on that to take you to your inbox.

Mandiiieee, I can not send the email to you. Is the correct address [email protected] or [email protected] ?

2Sugars, Thank you so much for that post. It does help to clear my mind and not let them freak me out. I have always noticed in situations like this, they always try to scare the pants off the new people. I think it is a way of weeding out those who ...

spicersweeney, YES! I am nervous and excited at the same time. I can't believe it is almost time to start. This is going to be an excited and stressful few years! See you on Monday!

Mandiiieee, I am using MYCAA to help offset the expenses of school but keep in mind that MYCAA only pays for tuition costs. They do not pay for books, uniforms, etc. For that, I am getting grant money and scholarships. I am hopeing that with all the...

Good morning everyone, I don't know if anyone else has tried to register for classes yet and could not. I called yesterday to address this concern and here is what I found out. Once we attend the mandatory meeting on July 15, we will fill out change ...

Spicersweeney, I think we will find out those answers when we go to the meeting on July 15th. I have placed my selected classes in my shopping cart so that I can just go in and enroll when the time comes. Good luck to you!!! Someone recommended gett...

2brn14, I am not a member of the Student Nurse Association yet. What do you need to do in order to become a member? Thanks, Regina
