Tidewater Community College Spring 2020

Published

Hi all! I was wondering who will be applying to TCC in Portsmouth for Spring 2020 admit. Wondering what you got on the HESI as well as if you finished any pre reqs/co reqs and GPA with those. Thanks and good luck!

That is torture. I wish they just sent out mass emails like Sentara does. Am considering setting up camp near my mailbox for the next couple of days haha

Is anyone thinking of working as a CNA or PCT during nursing school?

I actually thought about doing PCT during nursing school since I have no nursing or medical experience.

It would definitely make more sense to email acceptance since mail gets lost or in my case, put in the wrong mailbox.

Yes I am. I already have 3 years experience as a CNA. I’m working at Sentara now as a NCP.

@Nurseme42 Same girl! I heard it really helps with securing a job out of school. @CNA2RN31 that's awesome. were you able to get a hospital job right out of CNA school? I just finished the TCC CNA program and would love to work at Sentara, too but just don't have any healthcare experience. Might have to start at an LTCF first... sigh

Sentara is always hiring NCP’s. I had 3 years of CNA experience already when I was hired. But I’m my certification expired because I joined the military and hafnium worked on that field for awhile. But I went to TCC CNA program too and renewed my cert and o know a few people that was in my class that got hired by Sentara right out of CNA school. Go for it!

I’m planning on working as an LPN (started out as a CNA) we are hiring at Sentara PACE if you’re looking for something more flexible (it’s not a hospital, but major holidays off)

I didn’t receive any mail yesterday either... I’m thinking if they mailed them out at the end of day we should start receiving the letters tomorrow.
