No letters of recommendation or essays/personal statements. It's on the application but not required to submit it. Simplest application I've ever done.

I applied for the Feb start and had them transfer my app to April cause I've had so many issues with them processing my application. I'm not gonna lie, I'm really worried about the student support if I can't even get assistance during the application...

Does anyone know if the gpa requirement is overall gpa or nursing school only gpa? I took non nursing classes at UTA (and did horribly, my gpa took at hit). Then left and did an associate nursing program. Came back to UTA and did the RN-BSN program. ...

Hello everyone, I just took the Kaplan Nursing Entrance Exam this past Tuesday, and I'm happy to say that I got accepted to North Central Texas College in Gainesville, TX! I just wanted to post information about the test in case there's anyone out th...

Does anyone know if you are allowed to stack 3 - 5 week nursing courses at a time? I am wanting to take 3 classes beginning on 4/11 in order to complete the program in 9 months. I haven't had any difficulty doing 2 classes at a time, and it's only 5 ...

I just finished my 1st semester! My advice would be to stay ahead! There will be all kinds of assignments overlapping, so try and get any small assignments out of the way if you can. Make sure to READ over and over again! Form study groups, even if y...

Congratulations on passing!!! I'm so glad I came across your post as I'm sure it will serve a good purpose when I finally finish nursing school! (I'm barely starting my 2nd semester!) Your story is such an inspiration, and I'm so glad you were able t...

No problem! Also, if you need to have any titers done (for either Hep B or Chickenpox), you can go online to requestatest.com, it's pretty cheap! You select a LapCorp clinic near you and get your blood work done the same day, and your results are ava...

I was able to get my physical at CareNow, it was only $10 :)

I'm not sure about a 2 hr elective, I don't think I've ever seen a 2 hr elective offered, but if you choose one of the 3 hr electives on the list then you should be covered :)

I am in the Wed clinical group and I live in Fort Worth, which is about 1 1/2 hour drive. There is also a student from Irving in my group, as well as several people from Lewisville. Most students that live in Denton are either in Thurs or Fri clinica...

We have class on Mon 8-5.Tues 8-9 for lecture and then the class is split in half, 1st half is in class from 9-12, 2nd half has class from 1-4 but there are days when they give the 2nd half the option of staying for the 1st half, it just depends what...

Hello ashleyj2011, congrats on doing well on the Kaplan! First semester so far isn't too unbearable, but the class assignments and tests dates are now starting to overlap so it gets a bit overwhelming. Just make sure you stay ahead on the reading and...

Perfect! Thanks so much for the info.

I have heard from other nursing students (at other community colleges) that after the first semester you will be able to apply for jobs as a nurse assistant...has anyone else heard the same? I'm wondering if NCTC offers the same.

I saw on the NCTC website that the Gainesville and Corinth campuses are down today with no phones or internet, that probably has something to do with not being put into our classes yet. Hopefully it comes back up soon.

I received my letter today also, looks like I'm in group 1 with clinicals on Wed. If anyone lives in the North Fort Worth area and wants to carpool, let me know!

No problem! I wish I could've found more info on the test before I took it, so I don't mind helping. It's called Kaplan Math for Nurses, A Skill-Builder and Reference Guide for Dosage Calculations 3rd ed A&P II should help you with the science po...

I made it in also! Congrats to everyone who also made it in! To TWiersch, the grading scale that is on the NCTC nursing website is 90-100 = A 81-89 = B 75-80 = C 66-74 = D 65 or lower = F, and you have to get a C ...

I'm so nervous for the cut off score to be posted today! I scored an 80 overall on the test, but since they are testing 100 students, I guess any cut off score could be possible. The AP portion threw me for a loop as well, but it makes me feel a litt...

I got my letter yesterday and I'm scheduled for the 25th! I was hoping for the 27th just to have that little extra time, I'm just glad my 10 pp's was good enough! Good luck to everyone who's testing!!!

Thank you amandacam, it's good to know that it is possible. Do you have any advice as far as the Kaplan exam?

Does anyone know whether or not you will be able to work while in the program? I'm just trying to plan ahead in case I do get accepted. I know nursing is very difficult and time consuming but if I could stay working then that would be great but at th...

I went to Gainesville yesterday to apply, I'm so nervous! I have 10/12 priority points so hopefully I get invited to test. I bought the Kaplan study guide from the bookstore so I'll start studying for the test soon. Good luck to everyone!
