Hello all fellow applicants for TCC's Fall Semester 2018!
I have been scouring the most recent TCC post, and the latest applicants have been offered their seats in the program, woohoo!!! As a result, I have decided to post a new thread for the next round of applications.
Just curious, will anyone be a resident of Virginia for only a short time before applying? I will be moving in December and I was wondering if my measly two month-long residency will hold up as well against someone who has been a resident of Virginia for over a year.
Happy application cycle! :) Hope to see some of you someday soon.
Unless you have your books already, I would just carve out a schedule for studying. Also, review/study your conversions and Rounding to the nearest tenth, you will have a test on that the first week and only get two chances to pass. Also on every test there are 5 mixed in
I was chosen as an alternate. I was wondering if anyone who got accepted to TCC's nursing program is choosing to go somewhere else instead. I am not sure if I really have a chance getting in this time, since I am an alternate. I am currently working full-time, so if I were to get in last minute I would need to give my work notice. I would definitely probably need to reduce my hours. If I don't get in, I was just offered a new full-time position at a Sentara closer to my house that I really want. I'm conflicted if I should take it because this new job wouldn't work out if I was accepted last minute.

Did you end up getting a spot in the program? If so or if not when did you find out?
I’m going to be brutally honest. If I had to do it again, I’d choose Sentera. I wasn’t an alternate for TCC so I don’t know the stress you’re dealing with there, but I have 4 friends that have done the Sentera program and when comparing schedules, the Sentera is a lot more flexible (with there being online courses throughout the journey) and in the same amount of time as the TCC program, you will have a Bachelors instead of an ADN. And the TCC program is brand new and now concept-based. LOTS of kinks are still being worked out.

Thanks for the tips, that was helpful. Is there anything at all that we should read or work on before school starts?
