Tarrant County Fall 2011 Applicants

Published

Hello,

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.

I have CPR and immunizations done...... I will need to retake AP 1 so I hope the letters come by Saturday! I keep checking to make sure they still have one available. So far they still have some at the TR campus. Praying we all get good news soon!!

I will need micro and there are some seats left at TR campus. I hope the letters come soon too.

I did my background check when I was accepted to WC. I had to do it to keep from being dropped from the program. It is done through the TXDPS and FBI, not the school. WC gave me instructions on how to do it though. I am hoping I do not have to pay for it again if I get accepted to TCC. I am thinking it will be fine because it was recently done and I was cleared by the BON.

Well Ladies and maybe gentleman, no letter in the mail today either. :(

I am getting soooo antsy!!! I just want to know if I got in or not... this wait is absolutely cruel. :(

Does anyone know how long background checks are actually good for? I had to get one done when I was teaching elementary school, but I'm not sure if it's good anymore.

Are all background checks the same? I know I take one each year for my daughter's school, and HR at my hospital said they look at different things to work in healthcare. Just wondering if that is true. I'm not worried about the check because I would not have my current job if there was a problem. I was just curious if there was something different depending on who is asking for it, and how long it takes to get cleared.

When I am hiring new employees, it seems like if I hire someone who has lived in other states it takes forever to get results.

I think you will have to do a new background check for the BON. After I did my fingerprints and photo it only took about a week and a half to get my postcard in the mail, if even that long. It was surprisingly quick unlike tcc!! Lol

on tcc's website under frequently asked questions it says "Most applicants selected for admission have a GPA of 3.4 or higher." Its getting so hard to get in!!

It used to say, 3.2. They just updated the FAQ section. I wonder if the average of our group had a 3.4. I wish they wouldn't post all these changes before we find out our fate, I mean this just adds to the stress. :uhoh3:

So I guess there are no letters today?

Sorry, just got back from groceries shopping. No letter today again.
