Tarrant County Spring 2012 Applicants

Published

I am starting this for anyone who is applying for the TCC RN program in August.

Specializes in Hoping to do either L&D or Trauma.

Okay took my HESI today as well!! Now I'm just worried that it was too easy. :-(

Scored a 95.5 overall, wish I'd done better on the vocab. IMO that was the most difficult part.

Good luck everyone!!

holy cow! congrats cross!!:yeah:

you guys are making me nervous!!!:uhoh3:

Everyone is getting such great scores, i just hope i do the same.. was the vocab section anything like the book?

I know, I am starting to get real nervous too. So far the only scores I've heard are my 94, kc's 95.5, a 96, and a 97.something. I think my 94 was too low.

And yes, the vocab was like the practice test.

are you kidding? 94 is excellent!! I think I would even be lucky to get a 90!! Im the type that freaks out if i know the highest score is, say a 97 point something, and i get like a 92.

Yes, the nerves have kicked in, I was laying in bed for a while last night just running it through my head over and over. I think in this app. period, competition is going to be fierce, hundreds of well qualified applicants and only so many spots. I think that we should just go with the hunch that everyone who is applying also applied elsewhere so TCC is a "backup" plan as opposed to another primary choice..

I'm actually quite sad/bummed, but Im glad this group of AN applicants are doing so well, but all of these great scores just slims my chances if I don't make something that i think is satisfactory, and as you know, I AM a person who tends to over-stress. yipeee.. i might just move my test date to an earlier time to knock it out, but im not sure. Lots of things going on at home so the stress between that and this is a ticking time bomb.

I understand the nerves!! I feel like I know so many people applying this semester with a 4.0 GPA. And although I did good on the HESI I only have a 3.5 in my sciences. So I'm very nervous, I can't even be cautiously optimistic. :-(

@Student - who got the 96 and 97??

One was a girl at the testing center with me (97) and she said she had a 4.0 and the other (96) was my neighbors friend but I dont know her GPA. I have a 4.0 and I am still stressing!!!!!!!!!!

*sigh*:uhoh3: this kind of sucks since im one of the last ones to take the exam...

I have a 3.75,so if i don't make at least a 90 something, i will be devastated...

I forgot to ask you guys about the math portion of the exam? Is it like whats in the book, or does it have questions like "which fraction is greater...yadda" or charts and stuff we have to interpret?

and honestly, i dont see how they would pick and choose. Say 400 people applied and 200 people had 4.0 and high hesi scores, how would they possibly pick and choose who gets in the program and who doesn't? Would it just be like," well the first 100-125 people with the best scores get in & the others are not accepted or alternate." That would be infuriatingly hard.

There were definitely fraction questions like that. Also for decimals. Be sure you know your conversions! A lot of it was simple addition, subtraction, mulitplication, division, but I think they count on some people making mistakes entering the info into the calculator since you can't use the keyboard. I know there were a couple of times that I did a question three times just to make sure I didn't miskey something.

I hate it when you have to use the mouse to.input numbers... what where the conversion questions like? where there pie charts and stuff like that?
