   KBurns775 replied to tmccstu2018's topic in School Programs

   Hi HopePRN, My acceptance letter is dated 10/30/17 and postmarked 11/1/17 so yes! That being said things area always changing in the program. With an increase in the number of cohort members that are accepted it may take a bit longer. If you don't...

   Discouraged BSN student

   KBurns775 replied to Nurseanac's topic in General Students

   Keep your nose in the books and get that degree! C's don't mean you don't still have what it takes to be a competent and caring nurse. We all know the tests can be enough to make you pull your hair out, but don't let that discourage the time and e...

   Nursing Ethics Questions

   KBurns775 replied to Whitney T.'s topic in General Students

   Hi Whitney, If your available network of nurses is limited I'd recommend asking if you can interview a faculty member within the nursing program. If you are sincerely unable to interview an RN locally, I'm sure the experienced nursing faculty would ...

   KBurns775 replied to tmccstu2018's topic in School Programs

   Hi Pilar87, I'm not sure if that question was directed to me or another poster. I did not end up applying for fall 2017 and only applied for spring 2018 getting in the first time. My GPA was 3.89 and my HESI was 96% overall so I didn't have an issu...

   TMCC HESI EXAM

   KBurns775 replied to KBurns775's topic in HESI

   A while back there was a note on the website that the A&P portion would be a scored section for fall 18/spring 19 applicants, but I don't see that updated on the website. It looks like it's still on the test, but not used to calculate entry. Pre-...

   Want a puppy, but live alone/working days

   KBurns775 replied to aubsn's topic in New Nurse

   We use a local daycare, but have also used house sitting services from Rover.com. Our daycare is around $300 per month and we drop off 5 days a week. Rover is more expensive sometimes, but we mostly use it for date nights when the daycare option is...

   KBurns775 replied to tmccstu2018's topic in School Programs

   I did the same thing! I'm taking Nutrition 223 online right now, and the ebooks kill me. I need to be able to highlight, dog ear pages and physically see things. It's so much easier to jump around in an actual text book, and to make notecards for s...

    Hey, It is definitely a requirement! When they sent over the instructions for E-Value there were several PDFs, and one was named "Pre Clinical Requirements". Influenza is the last item on the checklist, so be sure to get one!

    KBurns775 replied to tmccstu2018's topic in School Programs

    I know! The cost is definitely a cringe worthy moment, but it will all be worth it in the end. I'm hoping they send out the supply/uniform information soon so I can start planning my finances down to the penny.

    Yeah, when I checked in with her she had sent the list out to Admissions & Records to update, so I called them to see what was going on. Hopefully you have no issues registering! I think after you're registered you get your email about how to ...

    KBurns775 replied to tmccstu2018's topic in School Programs

    Hey tmccstu2018, When you return your acceptance of offer letter to the nursing program, they in turn release your name to admissions and records so you can register for classes. I was able to register for NURS138, NURS142, and NURS212 even though ...

    I did my background check but I haven't had time off work to go do the drug test. I'll probably do it the week after Turkey Day! I received my log in to upload my documents yesterday, so I think if you're registered you should get one soon too!
