I am a pre-nursing student at Tarrant County College hoping to get into the Spring 2018 ADN program. I have found allnurses to be extremely helpful in regards to information about student stats and program requirements.
My current stats are:
API: B
APII: A
Microbiology: In Progress
HESI A2: Scheduled next month
I'm currently studying Evolve's HESI preparation book. I wanted to create this discussion for questions, answers, and encouragement for Tarrant County College Spring 2018 hopefuls. I know it's a little early but hey, I'm excited. :)
I would 100% NOT recommend taking micro and either anatomy together. I did this myself and it honestly drove me crazy. I guess it was good preparation for nursing school... but the pressure to get A's in both is overwhelming.
I took micro with a&p 2 and I thought it was fine. Hey didn't go hand in hand per say but having the working knowledge of anatomy made micro easier. I did end with As in both but your mileage may vary. I would suggest if you can, take them all separately and really focus on the information. But it's not impossible to do.
I have a question in regards to the Hesi.....if anyone can help out. I passed my Hesi with an overall of 90.50%. The lowest score I received was a 63% on the reading conclusions but I scored an 82% for the reading. Do they look at the overall reading score or go by each individual subcategory for the reading? I hope it is overall....I really do not want to retake the test.
No problem! I had one area I didn't do so hot on but got a 90% on the reading section so it wasn't really an issue. It was my last section and my brain was so fried
Is there anyone up here that is currently an LPN and looking to get into the Advanced LPN-RN?
I think we have one person on here that is currently in the Fast Track program. This thread was created for the Spring 2018 Regular Track program. There is a lot of info on the TCC website for the fast Track program. Here are the basics:
FAST TRACK OPTION

The application procedure and requirements for the Fast-Track Program are the same as those for the regular Nursing Program.

Due to the fast pace of this option, we strongly recommend that you complete all general education course requirements before admission to the program.
