Nursing Students School Programs

Good Morning! I have applied for the Fall/Winter lottery at TCC and am just anxiously awaiting the email and lottery. Any other applicants on here? Anyone else contacted the school for an update? Its been almost 5 weeks and I know they have 6 but other schools are requiring attendance responses and I really want to know if I got in.

I'm pretty sure there will still be a lottery though, to find out which quarter you are assigned to.

Thank you, Violet.

Good morning friends! Today the day! I slept pretty well last night but I’m just itching to get my official acceptance letter. How are you guys doing?

I’m good just excited to find out! Do you guys work and are planning to work during nursing school? I’m debating whether to get a part time job as a CNA while in nursing school. My husband told me not to but I would love to get patient experience

I’m gonna be PRN at my LTC facility that I’ve worked at for about 9 months now. But I’m gonna be mostly focused on doing my best in school.

That’s really cool! I just never worked while I was doing the prerequisites because I was also doing high school classes (I just graduated highschool lol) and it was a lot on my plate.. just curious if it would be a good idea to try to balance a little bit of work and school ?

Work will depend on which quarter I get accepted to. My work has a good scholarship program where you don't have to work and you'd get your salary! You just have to continue to work for them after you get your degree. But their application process ends in Oct and the benefits wouldn't start until Jan. That's why I'm hoping for a winter start. If I start in fall, then yep, I'll have to make things work around school and work.

I managed to now check anything until 9am! lol Still 38. ?

Wow that’s so cool!! I hope you get winter start so you can get that scholarship!!
