Tallahassee Community College Spring 2012 Nursing

Published

Hello All prospective TCC Nursing Students;

Starting a new thread of those that have taken or about to take the HESI first or last (2nd time) for Spring 2012 Tallahassee Community College Nursing Program. I did and my final score is 141.63/160. Not bad but far from bravo too. The sad part for me is I found the reading conclusions difficult and after taking it the first time, actually scored even lower the 2nd time. All my other graded sections was 90. My overall HESI score was 88.83. But this was my second time taking it. At TCC that 2nd attempt is your last score forever and a day. My mission here today is to create a thread of insight and for those students that may have received valuable information to pass along here and just sharing in general. It is known that those who get a total score of 145 and over usually get into the program and below -145+140 may get alternative. Of course I am on the questionable cusp! :eek: and my fate into the program lies with those students scoring high 90s. I am very proud of you for setting the bar high-competitive and wish everyone here taking or have taken the HESI test and applied to Spring 2012 much luck. Yours truly, Lisa

I just finished the HESII for today's deadline. I calculate my total score to be 149 so if your numbers are right I should be good to go. I am not 100% sure that I can take a spot if I get one though due to work/money issues. I wish that more scheduling information was available before actually being accepted into the program so that we could make a more informed decision.

That is a terrific score :yeah:and would probably place you into the program. I am F/T at TCC and ready to commit if accepted. :nurse: Good luck on your goals/life.

I'm looking forward to when the acceptance letters are e-mailed. My score is a 147 if I calculated correctly. I believe this puts me at about a 50/50 chance of getting in. Other posts have stated the average hesi score is around 150. Good luck!

Good luck to you too. I read all through the posts from the fall semmester on here and I think the alternates had around 145-146 and some of them got spots.

Nope, alternatives scores averaged between 138-144 and were selected as alternates and some did get accepted. I know one got 138 and is in second semester of nursing. Keep in mind; with ties it is broken by whom completed microbiology and then broken again on whom completed humanties. The chemistry at TCC does nothing for the breaking of the tie, but certainly puts you in the league as an applicant for undegraduate nursing programs potential. But most programs don't even test through HESI and utilizes TES and others. This is my understanding and I welcome all feedback to the contrary.

Has anyone heard back about program acceptance yet? It's driving me nuts!

I am thinking the end of Nov or first part of Dec. I would love to be proven wrong. I don't have the nerve to call and ask if they have or when will they start talling up the scores.

lol I hope it's not that long! I can't work up the guts to call and ask, either... I'm afraid they will think of me as a pest :) I was just reading your posts about the Fall 2011 program, so I definitely wish you good luck :D

Thanks. Stay in touch here. We all really like hearing from those going through the process. We feel their pain when not accepted and feel their joy when accepted into the program. It gives us perseverance and character and a true involved feeling just chatting to the likes of us here.

They say it takes 'up to 6 weeks' to find out if you're accepted. That's today!! It's good to know there are others on pins and needles.

I just got the email, and found out I was accepted :) I hope you all get the same email, too!
