So, for those of you who are waxing poetic about the number of available jobs, I'm definitely open to relocating for a year (or two) but would love some direction on where to even begin to look. Would you be willing to share a few "prime" locations t...

If the website said 20, that's what it will be. They usually take 150 for regular track and 20 for fast track. The school received a grant, and for 2 semesters in a row, they accepted 180 regular track students (and apparently 30 fast track), but we ...

I know for this particular group, they took 30 students, but I don't know why so many seats are available!

Each university will have their own lists of prerequisites for their RN to BSN program. You should be able to go to any university website and search for RN to BSN - most of them are online, some are hybrid. TCC has partnerships with several differen...

The summer Complex program is offered to those students that are in the Fast Track program. Those students are usually already LVN's, EMT's or have other experience. They start with Mental Health in the summer, take Adult in the Fall, OB/Pediatrics i...

Ok - so this turned out MUCH longer than I expected lol - but you can refer back to it in the future :) So, your first semester is Foundations/Fundamentals (those terms are kinda interchangeable) There are 3 classes this semester: Skills, Clinical...

Yes, of course you can - that's why I posted :). I had A's in all 3 sciences and a 98 HESI score - but don't be discouraged if your scores are lower! One of my favorite midnight-study-break-pastimes was logging on here and matching up the names/score...

Once accepted, you'll eventually turn everything in to Immunitrax (you'll get instructions for paying your fee, signing in etc. later). You'll upload ALL of your vaccine documentation there for centralized tracking. You'll also get reminders for when...

If you want, you can turn in all of your previous vaccine records to your current PCP who can validate and update your records. My doctor didn't fill out the form, he just signed it and attached my current, updated vaccinations on his office letterhe...

Take your 3 science classes, A=100 points, B=80 points, C=70 points. Add your points up and divide by 3. Then add that number to your HESI score and divide by 2. If your score is a 90 or above, you are "almost" guaranteed acceptance. Anything below a...

Hi there! I'm in the program now as well (2nd to last semester - woot!) and am happy to answer any questions :) The reason your vaccinations are brought up, is mostly because of the Hep A and B. If your blood work (titer) doesn't show that you are ...

You guys - HUGE congratulations to all of you! Whether you were accepted or are an alternate, you've dedicated a LOT of hard work and time to getting this far :). Reach out to the upperclassmen (you'll find our FB pages!) for questions, concerns and ...

Oh no - I'm so sorry you guys! I know how hard the waiting is

Haha - it's going! It's harder than I thought in some ways and easier than I feared in many others. I've learned so much, grown a ton and am making life-long friendships along the way. Be prepared to hit the ground RUNNING. Now is the time to get you...

Looking at this power point from the TCC nursing department should answer all of your questions! Basically, you need to take the 3 science courses to apply to the nursing program, but you need to have the additional classes (English Composition I, Li...

So sorry about the multiple posts lol. I'm a current TCC Nursing student and am happy to answer any questions :). I applied last summer (just like you guys) and started in the Spring 2017. Summer II (Mental Health) is almost over and I'll start Adult...

Oops - this was meant to go with the above question: You'll actually go Spring 2018, Summer II 2018, Fall 2018, Spring 2019 and Fall 2019 - you'll graduate Dec 2019. Those students that start Fall 2017 will attend Summer I, you'll attend Summer II, b...

You'll actually go Spring 2018, Summer II 2018, Fall 2018, Spring 2019 and Fall 2019 - you'll graduate Dec 2019. Those students that start Fall 2017 will attend Summer I, you'll attend Summer II, but should be given the opportunity to switch summer ...

There really isn't a "typical" day because the schedules vary wildly (they even include nights and weekends!). Some people go to school 3 days a week, some go 2 days a week. Your first semester consists of 3 classes (Skills, Foundations and Clinic...

I don't know of any "formula" that will predict your chances. Some one will have personal, family or medical issues come up and not be able to attend this next semester. Every time that happens, an alternate will be called. Whether or not you're call...

Oh my gosh, I got accepted to my local ADN nursing program! I applied with a 4.0 and a 98 HESI, and even though I realize those are good scores, I wasn't going to believe it until I saw my acceptance letter :) I start next semester in January so I'm ...

I've been accepted!!!

I'm feeling a little optimistic too - but not as good as I will be when I actually see an acceptance email lol! Thankfully I'm keeping busy with work, school, and family.

I'm not exactly sure what score you mean? I looked at the last TCC application thread (here's the link – you should really should check it out, there's great info!) https://allnurses.com/online-nursing-schools/tarrant-county-college-1031364.ht...

I can't speak with any authority, but I'd say M-F. They're probably busy enough and want their weekends off lol.
