Tacoma Community College Fall 2020 ADN

Nursing Students School Programs

Published

Anyone here applied/applying to TCC's Fall 2020 ADN program? I'm last minute scrambling to apply after getting waitlisted at Olympic College. (Loooong story, I actually got accepted but I somehow glossed over my acceptance email because I was expecting a letter sent via USPS still per their website. Not much I can do about it at this point.). Last I checked, I'm #5 on their waitlist/alternate list so I'm not holding my breath.

Anyway, I won't qualify for the lottery at this time due to not having taken Bio 160, but it sounds like they have actually had less than needed for a lottery for a couple application cycles. Therefore, you can apply without having all support courses finished! You basically are on the alternate list after all lottery applicants who didn't get selected. I think I'm competitive other than that, though all of my classes were taken at another school which loses some points. I figure it's worth a shot! I plan to take Bio 160 in the Fall so I can qualify for the lottery in the Spring, but I'm still also going to apply for Winter. Anyone else applying while missing a support course? I'm taking the TEAS tomorrow, I did decent on the two practice exams, so I'm crossing my fingers. Are you guys applying to any other schools? I'm applying to UW's BSN and ABSN as well once they're open.

So I read that Pearson vue will be open starting the week of 08/10th but guess not. I mean I guess thats kinda good news for us since that means there will be more students like us without CNA. ??

That actually makes me kind of nervous because there will be more students in the Winter drawing! They’ll probably send emails out soon because it’s almost the end of August. I wonder if they will address the whole CNA thing when they put up the list of all the qualified applicants.

Ohhh yeah.. you are right.. there will be more people in the Winter drawings. I didn’t think about it that way ? I can’t wait any longer ugh so frustrating. LOL. It feels like the nursing department is waiting till Sept 1st? To see who has the CNA and who doesn’t and do the lottery drawing from those who do??

Did they ever post the amount of people in the lottery online? I only see Winter, but I never saw Fall go up: https://www.tacomacc.edu/academics-programs/programs/nursing/nursing-lottery-qualified-applicants-dta

I'm just wondering how many people applied total.

I didn't get in. It sounds like everyone who qualified entirely got in though! (I was missing that one pre-req and they did a lottery of the people like me, and I wasn't selected). CONGRATS to everyone who got in! 

I’m sorry but you can definitely try for Winter! I was not qualified for the lottery drawing due to missing the CNA. I’m still waiting for the clinical but I got an email from my CNA program today and it looks like they are not doing any clinical till 2021?! So not sure what I’m gonna do. I need to start looking for a job again as NAR or something. ?
