SWTCC Fall 2014 Nursing Hopefuls

Published

Hi all!

Just wondering if there are any hopeful candidates out there for the Southwest Tennessee Community College Nursing Program for Fall 2014?

If so, do you mind sharing your ranking index score with me? Or your NLN? I scored a 132 on the NLN and wanted to retake it to try for a higher score, but was told that my score was "high" for SWTCC so I settled for it. After reading some of the posts on here, though, I now feel as though my score is mediocre, at best.

I think they accepted more than that for Fall 2014.....the lowest Index score was accepted was a 50.something I believe.... or the overall number of applicants wasn't that large or the group was not as academically strong as years past

We had someone with a 50 index score accepted. I don't think anyone with that index score survived first semester, though.

@unionnurse12 I do 2 that's why I asked

I'm glad i've already taken patho and have a pretty solid understanding of pharm....I was look over some foundations study guides and filled most of them out correctly just based off my pervious patho class

That patho knowledge will come in handy second semester. I wish they would offer patho + pharm.

I took patho @ Union during their 3 week winter term... a 21 day term turned into 16 or 17 days because of all the snow that winter....I know I made over 1500 notecards in those few days

I considered taking it another school for the fall but I think I will have enough on my plate with my nursing classes

Drove down by SWTCC the other day and saw your new nursing building... jealoussss... lol

y'all might get 1 semester in the new LSON building

Well, I made him call today and they told him he wasn't in the top 60. Index score was 55.

My index score is lower than that. Has he taken all of his science classes and did he write them a letter telling them why he wants to be a nurse?

I hope you don't think I'm a Negative Nancy. It just says a lot about the information that they give to students who call for an honest answer.

From what they told him, he was classed as an "alternate". He took care of all his requirements as far as classes and that letter that he had to write. I'll find out more today when I call down there.
