Spring 2017 TCC Nursing Students

Published

Starting thread for TCC nursing students submitting application in a few weeks for the Spring 2017 semester ADN program. Personally, I have followed and watched and reviewed entrances over the year and it changes upon fall and spring semesters and the amount of applicants. I will be applying with two A's in A&P and Micro and a B in A&P2, so my GPA is a 3.6.... My first HESI score is a 87.5. I have seen acceptance with this, and have contemplated retaking HESI just to see if I do any different.

Comment and ask any questions and I hope to see you all in Spring!

I have a question!! I'm currently in TCC but I'm working full time so I'm taking my classes slowly. I'm so confused because my advisor didn't understand my questions, and I'm a first time college goer in my family. I know I need the 3 pre reqs that TCC requires, but what do you guys do about all of the other classes like English, math, histor etc?? Did you guys already take those? Do you take them while in nursing school? Do you need them at all? I'm so confused and my advisor didn't answer any questions for me.

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, Life Span Growth/Development, Intro to Psychology, and a 3-hour Humanities/Fine Arts Elective course) before you can graduate with your ADN. Some people take them at the same time as their science classes, some took them separate, I took them the semester between when I applied and actually stated the program. You'll also have a full summer available to take any additional classes. If you need additional classes for your future BSN, you'll want to take that into account as well. I hope this helps!

Here's the powerpoint:
