Mr. Nice Guy

Hey guys! I 'm so glad to see that I'm not the only one looking forward to be apart of TCC's Nursing program. I am currently a freshman at the southeast campus taking all of my basics so I can transfer to UTA after completing nursing school at TCC. I have all of my sciences, my second government, and both of my histories to go before I'm completely done with all of my basic courses for nursing school. If i calculated all of this correctly this means that i would be able to apply to nursing school in 2017? it seems like i will have to stay at TCC for a total of 3 years?

thank you for your comment! Now I am more enlightened Nurse Anesthesia than I was before. A new development has arose, so I would appreciate if you took a look at my second thread, "Nursing School or Medical School?"

Hello! I am in my freshman year of college, and I don't have very much time to make a decision between Biology(for medical school) and Nursing. Since my goal is to eventually become a CRNA through TCU's DNAP(Doctor of Nurse Anesthesia Practice) program i am currently categorized as a nursing major. While reading the requirement for admittance on TCU's website, I discovered that they also accept degrees such as chemistry,biology, physics,etc. For most of my life, I have always dreamed of becoming a trauma surgeon. I have always wanted to be the person that sends people out of the hospital doors better than when they came in and and I wanted to save lives for a living from within the OR. the PA option is also very appealing to me because i get to work lclothesly with other physicians, surgeons specifically because I definitely plan on completing a surgical residency if i go down the PA route. I love surgery and nursing equally, so which degree should i shoot for? It seems a bachelor's in biology leaves me 3 options (DNAP,PA,MD) while nursing leaves me 2 options(BSN,DNAP), but i wanted to hear you guy's opinion on this.

Hello allnurses.com! I am a brand new member of the community here at allnurses.com(literally 20 minutes ago), and I am very excited be around people that share the same interest as me. Okay, back to business. I am a freshman in community college planning on joining nursing school in 2016/2017, and I wanted to pick the minds of other RN's and current nursing students to learn some tips on how to increase my chances to get into nursing school. I have already shadowed many RN's during high school because I took a few courses called "Advanced Medical Terminology", "Clinical Skills"(where I had the opportunity to shadow nurses in all of the different departments of the hospital for one week each), and "Clinical Internship"(where I got to choose a hospital and department to intern in(I chose CVICU)). So far it seems like I've done all I can to prepare for a career in nursing. My first semester of community college, I made all B+'s except for my "General Psychology" where I made an "F"(I had a very bad professor). I am currently retaking that class with a much better professor. What are the things I need to focus the most on to gain admittance into nursing school? And what should I do to increase my chances for admittance as much as I can? P.S- After obtaining my BSN from UT-Arlington, I plan on attending TCU's DNAP(Doctorate of Nurse Anesthesia Practice)program. Just posting this statement just incase it affects your response.
