Tips for Tidewater Community College? Hoping to Apply in the Spring!

Published

I am looking to see if anyone has any advice, tips, help, or pointers for the Tidewater CC RN program? I am looking at several schools that I can apply to and this is one of them! They do not seem to have as many pre-reqs as TNCC which is a plus! I already have two degrees and do not want to have to take any extra classes if I don't need them! Has anyone attended their program? Applied before? Any information would be great! I am going to an information session soon on campus but wanted to see if there were any student perspectives out there!

I am almost done with my pre-reqs-I am applying for the 2017 night and weekend ----I have been trying my hardest to keep getting A's---I haven't taken the HESI yet, hopefully after I take A&P II this fall I will take it before mircobiology in the spring.

Awesome! Are you applying to the night and weekend cohort so you can work during the day? I am trying to figure out what I can do during school to make some money and help my husband pay the bills! That is definitely stressing me out! I am also going to take AP II in the fall online.

yes thats my plan is to apply to the night and weekend cohort. good luck to you!

I heard a rumor that they are changing the GPA from 2.5 to 3.5 to be qualified, but I haven't seen any updates to the website

hi,which school do u take your pre-reqs class? FT or PT?,

I will prepare to take CNA class then get PT pre-reqs class,but i don't know does it work??

I am not sure what FT and PT refer to... Also, I am not taking the CNA route so I am not sure about that. I am taking my pre-requisites online at a different school.

I went to the information session on July 15th, and you must have a minimum GPA of 2.5 for courses in the nursing program's curriculum of study. They're NOT changing the GPA minimum to 3.5 ;)

thanks for that update!! some of the rumors you hear, lol

Yes, the info session confirmed a 2.5 GPA is all you need. Thank goodness or a lot of people would not be able to apply if they required a 3.5 GPA! Lots of people were there, and it was only one info session out of 10 in a year I think. It's definitely going to be competitive!
