Tarrant County Spring 2012 Applicants

[Student213]

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

[txhusker-SN]

we get funding.based on how many credit hours we are taking. over 11 is 100%, but I'm not complaining, I'm still getting a hefty chunk and I'm glad I'm not paying out of pocket.

[Student213]

Yeah, honestly I was surprised that I got any at all.

I'm so jealuos ... Lol, not really. Good for you girls!

Well now y'all have me worried about FA - now I really NEED to add on that ASL class to get full aid. Crap.

@ab51 - Do you think a rolling backpack will suffice or will we need more storage? I bought a fancy backpack when I started at TR this semester because of all the walking, so I hope that will work . . .

On a side note, I've already decided that if I have a 7am class I'm going to plan on getting down there no later than 6:30am. Hopefully that is plenty of time to park. Hopefully.

cross- 75% is still a lot! Especially since its free! lol. I wish I could take 12 hrs to get 100%.. I was told if I stray from the degree plan I wont be eligible for FA anymore. I really wanted to take child psychology during my clinicals at cooks but I might have to rethink that...

Did anyone take A&P1 lecture as an online class?

Did anyone take A&P1 lecture as an online class?

I took all of my classes online and liked it because I did not have to adjust my work schedule much. It is not for everyone though. You are basically teaching yourself. The chapters in the A&P books I have used are ridiculously long, so you will spend a lot of time reading. It was hard for me because I am a procrastinator. I had to be really strict with myself to make sure I gave myself time to do everything that needed to be done. In the end, though, I made A's. If you can apply yourself to the work, you should do fine. Don't be shy about asking your instructor for clarification if you need it.

Ordered my stethescope today!! It was a big purchase but I can't wait until it gets here. Just curious, what kind of stethoscope did everyone get?

[Student213]

@ Krista - I took all my sciences on campus and took some of my other classes online. I like the onlines classes but the sciences where the classes that I enjoyed the most so I liked going to them (most days, lol)

@ Kmart - I got the littmann lightweight II, but I really like the classic also.

[txhusker-SN]

littman classic II and I love it!

[Rossy123]

I just went to the medisave website and compared the Littman classic II to the lightweight, and the classic II is way more expensive... does anyone knows why? Would you hear better with one than the other?

I just found this http://manage.allheart.com/design/v3-final/video/Littmann_FullLine_Classic_Stethoscopes/index.html
