Tidewater Community College Spring 2018

Published

Hey everyone! Upon reading some other nursing students post that applied last year to start TCCs nursing program this Spring 2017 I figured I would make one for us students applying for the spring 2018 start. I want to get into the evening/weekend cohort so I can stay with my young one during the day and then go to class when his dad comes home but I will be applying to all cohorts. I took chemistry at ODU and received a B and have also taken HS chemistry. Attended my open house session. I have A's in ENG 111&112. B in SDV 101. This semester I took A&P I, PSY 200 and PSY 235. I will most likely get a B in A&P and A's in both PSYs. I'm taking Micro over the summer and then A&P II and PHI 226 in the fall. Applications are due August 15th. I have not taken my HESI A2 yet I plan to do it at the end of July. I bought the book the school recommended for studying for it but have not studied it much yet I plan to once this semester is over. I am so nervous about applying. I've worked SO hard and I feel like it would be so devastating to not get in. I've read some other posts and I'm nervous about not having A&P II and PHI 226 completed by the time I apply. I hope they will look at my other grades and know I will do well in those classes too. I made this post so if other students find it we can encourage each other, answer each other's questions, and keep up with each others progess- after all we might be classmates in less than a year- might as well make friends now, am I right? :) anyhow, good luck to all of us!!!!

Specializes in PMHNP, PCCN.

Congrats to everyone who got in! I also got accepted. I am in the evening/weekend cohort. My bachelor's degree GPA was 3.2 (actually I graduated with a 3.4, but that's a long story), and my HESI score was 91%. If you are in the evening/weekend cohort, I hope to see you all there!

How long did it take TCC to evaluate your transcripts? I know they say 6 weeks but is it a shorter period of time?

I am about to take my Hesi A2 next Tuesday. IS there anyone out here that could give me any experience when they took the Hesi A2? I am getting nervous about it..And I couldn't sleep.

Hi everyone, I want to know your thoughts on my chances of getting in. I have a bachelors of science in elementary education and took all but A&F. In the prereqs I got all Bs and 1 C. And my HESI score is a 78. I feel like there's no way I could get in. I'm just hoping my B.S. helps me. I'm horrible at test taking but knew I would be around an 80 to get in. I just feel like 78 is too low :( thoughts? Does anyone know someone who has gotten in with a HESI score lower than an 80?
