That's great you are a CNA and have some experience in the medical world! I just finished AP 1 too, and will also be taking AP 2 in the Fall, but I am going to wait and apply in the spring for the following Fall session. It feels like so far away but I know it will be here before I know it! Good luck and let us know how it goes!

Yes, the info session confirmed a 2.5 GPA is all you need. Thank goodness or a lot of people would not be able to apply if they required a 3.5 GPA! Lots of people were there, and it was only one info session out of 10 in a year I think. It's definitely going to be competitive!

I am not sure what FT and PT refer to... Also, I am not taking the CNA route so I am not sure about that. I am taking my pre-requisites online at a different school.

I am going to the info session soon, so I will see what they say and post back!

Thanks for letting me know! I have family there so I could definitely do that!

Awesome! Are you applying to the night and weekend cohort so you can work during the day? I am trying to figure out what I can do during school to make some money and help my husband pay the bills! That is definitely stressing me out! I am also going to take AP II in the fall online.

I saw they have several places to do clinicals, including in Newport News and Williamsburg. Do you get to pick where you do them? Their website says to be prepared to do them wherever you are assigned, but locations listed included Richmond, and that is just too far to travel for me!

I'll be sure to study. I am strong in reading and math, but probably need to brush up on some stuff. It is the science I am worried about, so I will be sure to study that the most!

I am looking to see if anyone has any advice, tips, help, or pointers for the Tidewater CC RN program? I am looking at several schools that I can apply to and this is one of them! They do not seem to have as many pre-reqs as TNCC which is a plus! I already have two degrees and do not want to have to take any extra classes if I don't need them! Has anyone attended their program? Applied before? Any information would be great! I am going to an information session soon on campus but wanted to see if there were any student perspectives out there!

That's wonderful! Yea, I have already been to school and all of the prerequisites for TNCC are just a lot! I feel like if I have two degrees already and I am a teacher, then why do I need to take public speaking? I am also going to look into Tidewater Community College, as that is not too far from me. If you mind me asking, how was the TEAS? I bought a book already to study but have heard mixed things about it. TCC requires a different test, the HESI, and I am not too familiar with it. Thanks again for your responses! Very encouraging!

Thanks so much for your response! I am new to this site so I was excited to see someone respond to me!Rappahannock is about an hour from me, but I know people who commute longer than than around here on and off of the peninsula. I will definitely look into the school's program and apply! You are right, better to apply to several schools to keep options open and chances high! Did you attend the program there?

I am currently taking classes so that I can apply for TNCC's RN program. I was hoping that there would be someone here that could give me some tips and/or advice for when the times comes for me to actually apply. I have not been able to go to an informational session yet, and they do not hold them in the summer. I am planning to apply in February/March of 2016 for the Fall 2016 semester. I do not know anyone who has applied to the program, and would love some help! How important is it to take the pre-nursing classes (not the required pre-requisites)? Will it help that I already have my bachelors and masters (in unrelated areas) from another university? When should I start studying for the TEAS V? Any help I can get would be so appreciated!
