I took Dr. Vu for A&P I and II. I thought that he was great. Make not mistake. His class is very difficult, but he is a fantastic instructor, and he really wants you to learn. I have a...
I'm sorry this happened to you. I can't even imagine what it must have been like to be in that situation. Regardless of the circumstances, that was extremely unprofessional and inappropriate on the...
I wish you luck. I wouldn't want to take on that kind of schedule. I had a 4.0 on my prereqs, and I am doing good in nursing school, but I think if I had tried doing all that together, my grades...
http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/19859122/wid/11915773?gt1=10212 Have you ever heard of this type of request from a patient? I understand that there are a lot of cultural differences here in the US (so no...
I am starting my second year at TCC. It is a very competitive program to get into because of the number of applicants. Do not listen to your advisor if she is telling you that a 3.2 is a good gpa to...
You should talk to the nursing department at your school to see if they will require it. My nursing program required us to do a lot of work using the software and online resources that came with our...
I took Stats and College Algebra during the same semester. I don't think taking College Algebra before taking the Stats would have been very beneficial to me. The two classes are very different. I...

I can't speak for other schools or students, but I know that I will have a 12 hour clinical on Fridays this fall. It will only be for the first half of the semester. The second half (OB) will be on...

The TEAS test is the test that you have to take to get into the nursing program, not the test you take for placement at TCC. The TASP/THEA will not take the place of the TEAS. They are different...
No, I don't get national averages for the practice tests. The OP didn't specify that she was talking about a practice test. She said that she had taken her Fundamentals ATI, not the online practice...
All of my ATI test scores are online, proctored and unproctored practice tests. I just looked at mine for all semesters. The practice tests scores are on there, but double check to make sure that...
I had to take it in December, and the national average was 67.9%. So, I would think that it would be pretty similar to that now. You can check your ATI score online, and it will show you the national...

I agree that they will help you a lot. I wish that TCC would require these classes before beginning nursing school, especially pharmacology. Most of the nursing programs around here do require these...
I have three study guides for the first semester Fundamentals of Nursing class. The study guides are: Fundamentals Success: A course Review Applying Critical Thinking to Test Taking Study Guide...

I thought the math was pretty helpful. I also brushed up on my math by using the books Math Smart I and II. However, at the time, I had not had math in forever and really needed to brush up. I felt...

The summer II classes are your quickest bet. There aren't any other classes offered except for the regular semester in the fall. Have you thought about checking with dcccd (dallas community...

They are specifically for the first semester of nursing school, and they are helpful no matter which nursing school you are going to. I will be happy to send them to you. Just pm me where you want...

I know a few people who did not finish their PE class, but I have not met one person in the nursing program that did not finish any of their other prereqs. I'm not trying to sound negative. This is...
I know this post is several weeks old, but I just wanted to say that La Quinta is really great about accepting pets. My husband and I travel a lot with our two dogs, and we have found that La Quinta...
