Anyone in the process of applying???
Good luck to you all ladies!! Please don't get discouraged if any of you get chosen as an alternate. I know this for sure because I was an alternate so there is hope! Enjoy your free time because best believe the majority of your time will go into nursing school! :)
Hey eyvis91,
I have followed you on this page and your dedication & persistence is very encouraging! I am so happy for you! What was your pre req GPA and HESI score when you were an alternate? TCC letters come out tomorrow & should know our fate by Friday. I am feeling a bit down and not being positive. I feel as if I have a better shot going the LPN route & then RN/BSN. Not ideal, but I don't have a 4.0...
Yes eyvis91,
Can you please share what your GPA and HESI score was? I have also been following your posts and you shared that you are doing the concurrent program at ODU. How's that going? I also plan on doing the concurrent program :)
Acceptance letters will be mailed out tomorrow! Good luck to everyone!
Hey ladies! And thanks by the way :) I always like to share my journey into this because it is encouraging to plenty especially knowing what they're going through. This first time I applied for Fall '14, I didn't get in. At the time my hesi score was a 75% and prereqs gpa a 3.1 I believe. I then retook a few classes and ended up with a 3.4 gpa while using the same hesi score average for the spring start....as of now, ODU is going by really well! 401 is pretty laid back but the paper work slowly picks up towards the end of the semester. They require you to purchase books but I didn't because I heard we hardly used them so I check them out at the library lol. The only book that's really used is the Perdue Owl for this 1 assignment which u can find at TCC Portsmouth library. By all means don't feel discouraged!! Stick to this route!! I felt that way at some point in time but if you're REALLY dedicated, it's possible! I underestimated TCC, I thought I would never get into their program because of the rumors of it being hard and "wait list". There's plenty of girls in my class that haven't finished up a few of they're prereqs like micro, psych, & etc. However, I do recommend to get your science courses out the way because not only will it be HARD, but it may interfere with clinical rotations in case something comes up (which happens!!)

Aw I am sorry to hear that
, I heard that ODU is extremely hard to get into. I actually called and asked the nursing office the other day when they expected letters to be sent and I believe she said around April 15th they will mail the decisions.
