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!!!!

I got cohort 4 wooooohoooooo any other cohort 4

If you're accepted does the letter have I formation on what the next step is, orientation, etc?

Yes it says we have to turn in this one sheet so that makes them aware of our intent to enroll. Then there's a packet that includes the health physical form and the background check stuff too. It tells us when the orientation is and our first class start date as well

I did not get accepted. Congrats to all who did. FYI you must have done 78% or better on the hesi to be considered.

Sorry to hear that. Did you have most of the courses completed? I had all sciences completed with a B or better, and all general ed except for the SDV course, 2 history courses, and a math class. I transferred over here. I got an 86.8 on my HESI. I do not have a bachelors.

They go off HESI first from what I heard...that's why I was wondering if you had a lot of the other requirements completed yet.

I have everything, A's in all my sciences, only B's in English. But my package was not even looked at because of my HESI score.

It seems crazy that they only accept about 60-80 from all applicants. I would think more people would have the higher hesi scores and other requirements. I wonder how they determine who gets the spots. In the past it seems like people have been accepted with lower hesis or gpas, etc

It just depends on the people applying each semester. But they did say at orientation that they are changing the application for next semester. It should be updated once the spring applicants fill the spots
