Tidewater Community College Spring 2018

finally! I've been looking at these for past years and I'm getting so nervous.

I have a B.S. in psychology from VCU so I'm hoping that helps my chances of getting it. I'm currently taking microbiology because my high school chemistry is 7 years old! I will most likely get an A in micro and then I'm going to take A&P 1 but won't have time for A&P 2. I have all the other pre reqs except PHI 226 AND SDV 101. but I'm hoping my college degree will help since I don't have two of the classes.

I'm getting so nervous about HESI A2. I take it July 5th and really hope I do well. Does anyone know the average score of those accepted?

good luck everyone and I look forward to hearing from everyone else!

Any Hesi Tips? I take my text the end of July?

i take mine july 31st and i've been studying my butt off. I went to the info session yesterday and they said this is the biggest thing they look at. I've been reading the trivium study guide, i made flash cards, and i'm doing practice tests.

Hi all! I took my HESI on July 28 and got an 88%. I got all 98+ on most of the portions but I bombed the chemistry and biology portions. I took them at the end and I have been on no sleep due to my microbiology practical and final exam. Anywho, I have all my pre-reqs/co-reqs done except A&P II which I am taking in the Fall. I have all A's including in microbiology, except one B in A&P I. Advising told me I didn't need A&P II done prior to applying, but I definitely needed micro!

Is anyone going for the ODU concurrent enrollment option? Any tips you can give me?

For those taking the HESI, make sure you get the Elsevier study guide as they wrote the test. Go through the whole thing and focus on the parts you are weak on. Good luck to everyone!

theresenicole you'll definitely get in! i took my hesi today and did horrible- 76%. I have all my pre and co reqs done except A&P 2 which I'm starting next week, I also have a bachelors degree, so I'm hoping that helps.

I'm going to try for the concurrent program, if taking that you also have to do the prereqs for them! All I need for that is gen chem which I'll take. Apparently if you want to do the concurrent program, upon admission to TCC, you have to talk to the dean of nursing and she'll recommend you for it and then you apply.

@bowersjc Thanks for the info! I will do that! Also, where are you taking A&P 2? Are you taking it this semester?

@theresenicole I took micro, A&P, and i'll do A&P2 all through geneva college portage. It's all online!

I am freaking out. I'm transferring from another college and I have a 3.7 in my prerequisite classes. I took my HESI today and scored an 86.86. My only concern is my math from my last college. I really don't want to sit down for a placement exam when I took a statistics class and placed out of the other math at my last college. Does anyone know how the MTE's work? I scored an 88 on the math from the HESI...I received all A's in my math from my last school. I'm not bad at math but I don't particularly enjoy sitting down for 3 hours to test on things I have not reviewed for a while.

Hey everyone !!! I just took my HESI... so nervous! 78 ... bombed my chemistry portion as well... but does anyone know why the math doesn't show up at home? When you look at scores .... I'm not sure what to think have any of you applied to other programs? I applied to Sentara and was waitlisted I can't wait as my husband is military- we only have a few years here and I want to complete. I am excited to find out and glad I found this thread! How many times have you applied.

Hi everyone so I'm taking the hesi this week and i have all a's & b's with c's in chemistry and micro 😥 what should I aim to get on the hesi to get in ? Do people get in with c's ? I have around 52-56 credit hours . also what kind of questions are on the hesi ? Chemistry and math are my weakness

It's such a long shot for me, and sometimes I'm even wondering to myself, "why bother applying?"

I only have MICR 150, BIO 141, ENG 111, SDV 101, & PSY 201 --- which are 5 out of 9 co-requisites.. granted, my cumulative GPA is a 4.0. I took the HESI A2 today, and somehow scraped up a 91%. I have all my pre-requisites done, and am taking the rest of the corequisites this fall so if I don't get in Spring 2018, I can have a shot at Fall 2018.

Regardless, it's hard knowing that people who are also trying for the same seats have bachelors, have all their co-reqs done.. you know? Is it just me that feels a little hopeless? I'm trying to look on the bright side, but man I'm really reaching for the stars here. I hope I get in though. Hahaha!
