Sorry to respond so late, but I just now read this post. 1. If you have both A&P1 &2, you do not need Intro to A&P. 2. Yes, you can retake it, but I have to disagree with the previous poster. You do not have to submit your most recent grade you can have your previous grade printed up first and you can turn in whichever one you want to go with as long as it is less than two years old. 3. They do accept applicants without these coreqs, but it will be harder to get in and harder to do well in class. 4. I believe both coreqs are available online.

You have plenty of time because everyone that is going to TC nursing this year has already been accepted. You need to plan for '16-'17 school year. We are nearly 1/3 of the way through the '15-'16 LVN program and the ADN's all have their acceptance letters already...

Hi, guy! I have a question. I have already been accepted into the LVN program, but have taken many of the classes for ADN but not a&p 1&2. I am considering applying for a spot in the ADN program. I have college credits from another college that TC already has my transcripts for. Do I have to have that college send the transcripts again but to the nursing department? I figure I do. I just really do not want to because they took months to come in last time....

Hey, do you remember how long it took to get the blue card? I had my fingerprinting on the 25th, starting to get worried...

I'm too anxious to start working as a nurse. I want to bridge to RN asap after LVN. LVN first though :))))) so excited!!!!

I made it in! now to do all the required stuff to keep my spot.

I called this morning and they just got it. I was a little scared, since it is due tomorrow. whew.

Ya'll need to make sure that the nursing dept. has your transcripts. I was called Monday and informed that they didn't have mine. I called admin and their records showed that they sent it on Dec. 15. So in a month, they couldn't send it across the street :/ They told me they were going to resend it yesterday, I need to call now and make sure they got it.... frustrating....

@juju, the website says it starts in July. they have the rapid schedule for hep b that only takes 4 months. I will try to get mine started this month, as well as my cpr/first aid class... or feb for the class.

@angela partridge, I sent you a message on fb and am following you. it didn't have the option to add friend.

Temple - LVN :)

I'll look you up! I just got the final grade from my last prereq class and things are looking good. Are any of you going to do your cpr this January or are ya'll waiting for acceptance letters? I will and I will also make sure my immunizations are in order, it can take up to 6 months to take the series of hep B, so think about it Dearies

There is no way of knowing. Registration is open until the end of December.

We find out about the LVN program in February. Brandie, did you take the pre-reqs as well? 87 is pretty good. If you took the pre-reqs, I would bet that you get in.

Why do you have to take it again? I believe the scores are suppose to stay usable for 2 years.

Good Job, Londonshaw! :)

Yes, I used the practice book and worked through the problems. No, I did not take any study sessions with TC.

The test wasn't too bad. The toughest question the study book did not help with. My advice is to get a general idea about how much mLs are because you have to make an educated guess. & memorize how many km in a mile and kg in a pound and cm in an inch. I made a 97% on hesi, but did the practice test in math before I took it and skimmed through the other two applicable practice tests. The vocabulary was my lowest score even though I memorized all the words in the book, because it uses words not found in the book as well as those in the book. I would advise reading all of the words and memorizing all of them that you do not know and those that have different meanings than you are familiar with. Some of the vocab questions you can guess the meaning from the context but others are simply "What does ______ mean?" But don't underestimate the benefit of studying the words in the book because they are on the test too. It was my lowest single score but I still made a 94% in vocab. My goal was to at least make an 89% so when I saw my score I had a tear rolling down my cheek. I hadn't had much sleep and nervousness turned my stomach where I felt sick, I thought it was going to affect my score.

I am anxious to work in the field. I feel that it is a real calling on my life. I decided that if (when) I get into the LVN program than I will be happy. I won't apply to the RN course. I will just bridge a year later. Maybe the hospital that I start working for will help pay for it then too, not that they have to but it would be nice. My ten year plan includes a bsn at UMHB or wherever and training to be a nurse midwife in dallas. I want to move around with my education, like other states and other countries....

I am going to take the hesi a2 on the 22nd! I am not sure if I will just apply to the lvn course or if I will apply to the adn as well. What are your plans?
