I'm applying to the fall nursing program in January. I'm super excited but I still have some unanswered questions. I tried calling the Nursing Dept at the South Campus and left a message but have not heard a response.
I'm trying to find out what teas version they are testing with in the spring for fall entry. I have read tons of threads from TCC for the past few semesters and it is nice to start a new one for nursing hopefuls like me.
I'm taking Micro in the fall and getting a math class knocked out for BSN. Anyway, hope to get some responses.
My mind is already playing tricks on me!! I had a dream last night that I opened my mailbox to find two large white envelopes (one from TCC and one from WC). My heart started to pound, and I just knew by seeing them that I had been accepted to both schools. I ripped open each envelope only to find: Congratulations! You have been accepted as an ALTERNATE for the Fall 2011 ADN Program.... I was completely heartbroken! It's funny that no matter how positive I am trying to stay about this whole process, those deep dark insecurities show up in my dreams when I'm the most vulnerable.
Dreamer, do you get a big white envelope if you're an alternate?
I am a mess. A total mess. Thanks for the dream idea, now I will be dreaming it too. LOL!
Haha, I'm sorry... I don't wish this kind of mental anguish on anyone, even my worst enemy!! I'm going pretty !! And I'm not sure about TCC, but last semester when I was an Alternate for WC, I got the same manilla envelope that every person accepted into the program got, except my letter declared I was an Alternate instead of being accepted. I even had to attend Orientation with everyone else, including the other Alternates. It was pure torture for 3 months. I got butterflies in my stomach every time my phone rang!!
I'm still in A&P II, so couldn't apply at TCC. WC is my only option. Not sure my points are high enough but Karen said I was competitive as an alternate. I am very nervous.
I had a dream that I got my acceptance letter 2 nights ago. At least I'm not the only one who can't escape this even in sleep. I am driving my husband crazy. No one has posted the total applicants for TCC yet, so I think I am going to call this morning. I will post when I find out.
I just called the TCC Nursing Department and they said they still don't know how many applicants they will accept this fall. She also said there were around 400 applicants. That makes me more nervous. I really hope they accept 130. 400 seems like a lot of applicants to compete against.

At least your letter was an Acceptance letter! My brain has about as much faith in myself as I do right now. LOL!!

Call back and ask them specifically what day letters will be sent out.... just kidding. I wonder if they get sick of people calling each semester. But, they have to realize how much this means to so many people, and that we are literally waiting on pins and needles for them to process our applications. Wouldn't it be funny if for every phone call they receive, they tack on another day of making us wait before they mail out letters?!! If that were the case though, we'd never see the letters!! :)
And how can they not know at this point how many students they are accepting for the Fall? That worries me.
oh No!!!!!!!! 400 applicants is a lot. I really think they just throw a number out there. How is it that at 3pm on the application deadline there were 250 applicants (a friend of mine was the one that called) and two hours later there were 150 more applications received? Sounds fishy to me.
What they say is not always consistent, for instance, a few semesters back people would call to find out when letters would be sent out and they were told; next week, this Friday, in two weeks. Then, the day after one applicant was told that letters were going to be sent next week, that applicant got a letter.
I guess they really do get tired of all the calls. This is pure TORTURE!!!!!!

Ab; I was driving my husband crazy too but I realized I was being a royal pain. He always has something positive to say but I think I caught him rolling his eyes once or twice ha
I'm so thankful for allnurses, can you imagine not having a place to FREAK OUT?
Yes, my husband is probably more ready for the letter than I am. The 400 has me worried though. I am ready to get this show on the road. It is nice that we Are building a support group here before we even start school.
I went and asked in person today. I was told that about 350ish applications were submitted. I totally forgot to ask when they they thought the letters were going to be sent. Next time!!!
