My test stopped at 75 also. About 10 SATA I think and a lot of Prioritization, some meds, teaching - which shows understand or need for further teaching, a therapeutic communication question, 2 psychs, delegation, and 1 EKG and the rest I had never h...

I know TCU is really expensive however, someone is applying ... right? I am going to apply just to see what happens. I am applying as a transfer student, 3.76 overall GPA... working on increasing my science GPA from 3.50. There is information on ...

Good luck to those who applied. First semester will be an eye opening, stressful, and fun experience!

This topic was created for those who will be applying to Tarrant County College's Fall 2014 Nursing Program. The dialog is open for those who have never applied and those who have applied multiple times. Let's discuss our frustrations, stats, best ...

I second futurenurse1211. With 3-4 weeks left in the semester I started out super stressed. It is still stressful because you have to focus on each class and give each attention. You will second guess yourself, cry, be sleepy, pick yourself up... an...

I don't think you will have an issue with your current score. Good luck!

Clinical is all day from 630am to 630pm. My theory is at 1 to 315 and skills from 9 to noon. Hybrid theory is 3 weeks on campus and after the first test online. It rotates after every test fin what I was told but don't quote me on that one I'll know ...

Hi! I am in the Fall 2014 class and you do NOT get to choose your schedule for the first semester. You can switch with another student if they are willing and want what you've got. I have T/TH Theory, T Skills, Wed Clinical. I am lucky enough to li...

I've seen people get accepted with those scores. You can retest though.

TCC doesn't go by any point system that they make us aware of. What I have heard that they factor half your science GPA and half your HESI and come up with some magic number. Academic advisors have told me have a higher science GPA and HESI .

Lol. I took basic health skills with you last winter. I don't think I called you by your first name in class. But yes, it all worked out the way I wanted. All I have to do now is figure out my work schedule.

Ahhh. Tricia. I was wondering about you. You will get in for the next semester!

the lowest gpa I saw was 3.5. Not sure on the HESI. TCC has a presentation that lists the stats for the Spring semester of this year.

No. I was accepted to the Fall 2014 class. Just lurking on the new forum...lol

If I can suggest ... Check out all of the HESI quizlets online. I promise you, the HESI is not hard. If you are not good with fractions, conversions, and changing percents to decimals and back...definitely brush up on that. Also this site may help so...

The shots are not required to take either class but if anyone is going into the health care field, you'll need those shots and for shots like Hep B, one would need to be close to done before clinicals.

Thanks for the info.... Much appreciated!

Thanks for the tips. I believe the link to the fall 2014 group is on page 26. I'm sure the Admin will let toy in to share info and insight. Question. For the first semester, how many days per week were you in school to include clinical?

3.25 I believe. yes, I begin in August. I think most of us got sample dosage practice questions to go over and I ordered a dosage calculations book to study with. YouTube also helps. I got three months to learn it, live it, and love it! Conversion...

What was your science GPA when you were accepted? I had a 3.5 the first and second time i applied and did not get in; retook to improve my science to 3.75 and got in. Though I think there is some complex calculations going on when selecting students...

Anyone get a packet yet? Trying not to call and harass...lol

Is it possible to email it?

lol at shopping.... Not looking forward to the price tag!

No, you can take the class without shots but if you are going into the field, you'll need to have all the shots lasted on the app for nursing completed our near complete before clinicals.

I live near Keller/Hurst. Thanks for keeping me updated!
