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 wasn't sure about that either. I went to the health dept in dallas and got a flu shot last Friday, and right after that I drove to tcc to turn in my application. I got it just in case.
Hello there Spring 2018. You will become familiar with myself and a few others of us that are upper classman who like to mentor. I am Meagan Sensing and a year ago I was sitting in your shoes as I submitted my application to the Spring 2017 Program. I was accepted and began in Jan 2017 for TCCs Nursing Program. And OMG let me tell you how fast a year goes by!!! It's ridiculous...today was the first day of our 3rd semester\end of 1st yr and we sat and talked about you all coming in and on the same position we were a yr ago! So we completely understand...also a new class just started this fall before you and we have helped them along as well. You will have many questions...there is lots to do and figure out and all of that will come. Enjoy the time you have while you have it for the remainder of the year. If I CLD have any recommendations, start looking at medical terminology, nursing process, and dosage calc. If you want a head start on content. Otherwise enjoy the break while you have it lol....
This is a nursing family, we all tend to help each other...I know your primary concern is getting into the program right now. Usually they send notification around middle of Sept. I believe I found out on the 15th. This past semester for the newbies they ran a week behind. You will be notified by email only either way accepted or not or alternate. If alternate you can still be accepted all the way into the beginning of 3rd week of class. Don't lose hope...many situations change and positions open.
Average acceptance rate are all A's on sciences with mid 80s HESI or combo A\B's out of sciences with 90 HESI for the best competition market. That's not saying they won't take you. But that's the base average we were told to shoot for if we wanted guaranteed admission.
So now wait, panic, drink, whatever you do in the mean time but enjoy the time :) you won't have a lot once you begin....
Thank you @meagansensing! I've been reading some of your comments and tips on the fall 2017 thread. Thank you in advance for you willingness to help and mentor classes that came after yours, I'm sure we'll need it! If all goes well we should be meeting soon! Congrats on finishing your first year! Y'all are halfway there!!!
