Tidewater Community College May 2010 acceptance letters?

laurie5256 · Jul 13, 2010

You didn't get a letter in the mail like two weeks ago saying that you wouldn't be considered since you didn't have the A&P2? I got one b/c they said they didn't have my high school transcripts, that I didn't take SDV 101, and that I didn't complete a Math over MTH 3 and I have all of those. I've gone all the way up to MTH 270. Everything ended up working out, but I'm suprised you didn't get that letter. I think they are accepting people if there is room if they take a course over the summer, so if you took A&P over the summer, but that's it. Not if you take it in the fall. But GL to you, I really hope that they make an exception. I have a friend that was under the impression that if she Micro over the summer she could still apply and they told her they wouldn't even consider her unless they didn't have enough applicants to fill the spots. I will definitely let you know though! GL to you :)

they just want you to have 2 out of 3 of the sciences (A&P 1, 2, and micro) i did A&P 1 and micro (because micro covered the chem requirement as well) so i followed all their requirements to a T. i had everything they required before applying finished by the spring semester. like, if i had taken a chem class(within the last 6 years), and both A&Ps, then i could apply without taking micro.

my math and english credits all transferred in, so i had a total of 10 points or something so i could apply. (eng=A/B, A&P1=B, micro=A)

they never sent me a letter saying i had an incomplete application because it was a complete application. high school transcripts and all. i mulled over their checklist and emailed the department a ridiculous amount of times so it would be complete.

Well that's good, I hope you get in! Did you ask if you'd be able to take A&P 2 later? I only ask because my friend. They said that what's in the nursing packet and what they actually accept are different. Did you talk to the program director? If so, that's exciting and I hope you get some good news soon. I wasn't trying to be mean so I really hope you didn't take it that I way. I just had a friend that was going by the packet and went to the information session and everything, and then after the fact when she talked to the director they said they'd only consider those that had everything unless there were extra spots. Good Luck to you!

well, i know for micro, you either need that or a chem credit...so that might be why it was misunderstood...

i went to an info session back in november and the lady gave 50 examples of what 2 sciences you could have.

what was (is) you gpa if you dont mind my asking?

i figure if they called you because they didn't think the letter would get to you on time, they must be getting in the mail shortly and perhaps by the end of the week i'll get a letter...

no one else has posted on blackboard or here that they got accepted, yet. i am just uber excited that someone finally found out!

(i didn't think you were being mean in your response, i was just trying to answer all the parts of it. if i did miss something on my application, than i will be pretty surprised. i know that at the meeting she said one reason they like it to be so difficult is to see if you can follow directions...)

Congrats to both of you that got in. I went to the orientation today. I got to sign up for my first nursing class, yay. Just a bit of info: You are required to have health insurance while in the program. Also the uniforms are really, really pricey, ugh!

ugh, health insurance! that's okay i guess...i'm in the nurse aid class right now, so hopefully i'll have it offered through my next job. one way or another, i'll need it.

tell me more about this uniform cost/where do they come from?/color? are they white? i have to wear all white scrubs for the cna class, and i feel like a giant marshmallow.

yeah im also curious the exact price of the uniforms??

ASullivan757 · Jul 16, 2010

I'd say around $400 for uniforms, you need two and they include 2 blue polo shirts, 2 white vests, 2 lab coats, 2 pairs of pants and 2 tcc patches and not even included in all of this is your shoes and stockings you have to wear!
