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 think that we have to wait until registration opens on 10/31 - lol, and yes, I tried registering for them all ready too, but no luck :)

The Any Lab Now place seems to just do the titers (I could only find varicella and MMR on the website). For the shots I'm probably going to get them done at Leon County Public Health (very reasonable prices if you don't have insurance), and the rest at Patients First (more expensive on most things, but they were the only place I could find that could do the chest x-ray).

I was going to try and get those started next week... I like all my ducks in a neat little row as early as possible, and my mind always dreams up scenarios that knock them over :)

The Any Lab Test Now website is not very informative of all the services they provide. Again here is their number: 216-2586. They give flu shots and do Tb, of course Titers, and I am very sure the immunizations as well. They do background and drug urine. BUT DON'T GO THERE! THERE ARE NOT CONTRACTED WITH TCC NURSING AND THEIR TEST RESULTS WILL BE DENIED. t

This is confirmed directly from the mouth of Dianne Douglas at tcc. Only Accusource for the background and LabCorps for the drug urine test is accepted. That one price does include both tests, but not the fingerprint service. Hope that helps clarifies things for you.

Anyone else try to register? It's open, but I get the "not admitted" error, even though I sent my reply to the acceptance email, and the receipt says it went through. Trying to to freak out.

I couldn't register tonight. It said I hadn't been admitted into the program. Please tell me someone else had this problem?!

Glad I'm not the only one. Little less worried now.

lol I'm glad I fought the urge to get out of bed at 3 AM to register! Also glad that I'm not the only one who had that thought in my head! I was able to register with no problems now. Although it looks like I'm going to be waving goodbye to what little social life I have for the next two years ;-)

Hooray! One less little thing to stress out about. Now I can move on down the list and start stressing over the rest! Guess I will see you all next week! :D

I was able to register, too. :)

Is anyone else having trouble with the Varicella records? I had chicken pox over a decade ago and can find no record of it at all. I figured I'd just get the immunization, but it's $93 at the health department. Trying not to freak out, which seems to be fairly constant at this point.

It says, "Not Enrolled" when I attempt to register as well. My account also says that I can't register until Nov 14th. Those of you who have already registered, were you already taking classes at TCC?

Yeah, and I was eligible for early enrollment. That is probably the problem. If I were you I'd call and make sure they got your acceptance email though, if you haven't already.

I don't know what to do about the Varicella either. I had chicken pox 20 years ago when a family member got shingles and I definitley didn't see a doctor about it. May have to get the immunization.

I got the Varicella titer done, it was about $50 at that any lab test now place, and came back in just over a week. Since I knew I had chicken pox I was confident the titer would show the antibodies, and it did. So depending on how much the vaccine would cost you, the titer might be easier/less expensive.

Got my flu shot while I was there... $20 with the student discount.

Was anyone able to find the name/ISBN of the pharmacy book they said we need, but it's not on the book list?
