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.
Now I'm really nervous to check my mail box the next couple of days! I keep telling everyone that I would rather have a rejection level than an incomplete letter. Atleast with rejection I know that there were just some really tought people competiting (like ya'll!!) but the incomplete letter will make me feel like I messed up real bad... if this makes sense! :/ But I checked my application literally over 10 times before turning it in.. I was OCD about that.. I hope that none of us get that letter!!!!!!!
They sent R/T letters out late Monday and I got mine on Wednesday. I talked to the office on Mon., they said they will mail out the top applicant's letters first telling them they have to attend a mandatory meeting. Then they mail out the rejection letters.
So I got my letter and it says I am one of the top applicants and that I am required to attend a mandatory meeting to progress to the next step in the application process. It says "attendance to this meeting doesn't guarantee admittance, however the next class will be selected from the people who attend the mandatory meeting."
I'm calling the office tomorrow to ask if its a interview, etc.
So, to help pass the time, I'd like to know how each of you found allnurses.com.
I am a member of another forum (totally unrelated to Nursing), and was curious one night, while unable to sleep, if there was a forum for Nurses. I googled "Nursing Forums" and found this site. I lurked for several months before I finally created an account and became part of the group. I'm so glad I found this place because now I have an outlet to go to with my questions, frustrations, anxiousness, etc. It's nice to know that there are other people out there going through the same things I am, and I'm so blessed to have met each and every one of you.
I searched for a forum. I was so happy to find one as good as allnurses!
I don't know about all of y'all, but the people around me only "sigh" and "grunt" when I mention the time-line, or any updates. They are so tired of hearing about it. It's really nice to have some people that understand the anxiety, excitement, nervousness, etc... to talk to. Even if it is in cyber space.
I was so ready to just get on with the application process, and so worried that actually getting in was an impossible task, that i googled "getting into TCC's Nursing Program". Allnurses popped up, and I've been reading past application period posts. I joined when this thread opened.
I am also glad to have this place, because I know everyone around me is sick of hearing about this.
I too was really nervous after submitting my application so I went onto google and typed in "fall 2011 TCC applicants" and now here I am :) I went back and read almost all the previous TCC ones to see their stats but I was amazed how almost every person who wrote on this forum either got in or made an alternate spot. That tells me that y'all are some of the best of the best and I'm very glad I have the privelage of talking with yall during this awkwardly intense time. It's too the point now where I try to keep my nervousness to this thread because everyday people are probably annoyed cause the don't undertstand how one letter can change your life.
I also get the same feeling that the people I work with have no idea how life-changing this letter is going to be for me. However, I am blessed that the people in my life do know and understand the feelings I am going through while waiting for it to arrive. My in-laws live in Florida, and every time I talk to my MIL, she tries to judge if I've gotten my letter by how my voice sounds when she picks up the phone and I say hello. She is just as nervous for me as I am about getting the darn thing! But at the same time, she never wants to ask if I've heard anything or if I've received anything yet because she knows I'm already anxious enough as it is. So, now when I call her or she calls me, I start off the conversation with, "I haven't heard anything yet. Hi, how are you?" LOL!
