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 won't be applying again. Looking at ODU now.

I'm thinking about doing the concurrent enrollment with them if I can. That's be an awesome program to get into considering it's the BSN! Good luck to you, I would still try to apply to each. The next application period might not have as high of HESI scores...if you have good grades and everything else I would still apply

The reason I am not applying is because I can only do nights and weekends and I'm not trying to wait a whole other year just to apply. Also I am pretty sure now that I look at it that I have most of the credits to get an associates in science from TCC. And they have a transfer program with ODU.

I got into Cohort 3! Started bawling as soon as I read the word "Congratulations". I only had 5 of 9 prerequisites. My HESI was a 91, so i'm thinking they do look at the HESI the most.

I'm sure you'll get in. Do you have your pre- and co-reqs done?

Yes I have completed everything. Applied to Nights and Weekends. Hand delivered the application. Included everything. Not using transfer credits, I retook everything at TCC over the last 2 years, including sciences. Just worried, you know how particular they are. Wondering if I did something wrong. Reviewed the application and it look perfect to me. Will see. Thanks for the support and response. Ill check back in tomorrow after the mail.
