TMCC Program

[kjsquared]

Hi Everyone!

I am brand new here and have already found some very interesting and useful info on here. Hopefully I'll keep finding more and maybe be able to help as well!

I just got accepted into the TMCC Nursing Program starting in Aug. 2009!!!!! I am sooo excited!!!!! But also nervous!!

Is there anyone else joining me?!

I highly recommend the Apprentice program if they still have it (I think they do). It was a great way to get experience prior to graduation. I was responsible for all the care and charting for 2 ICU patients for about a year before I graduated...this enabled me to be fairly comfortable hitting the floor as a "new nurse". Good luck!!

Hi Guys - I always go months without checking this site! Ooops! I just got on break from school..

Unfortunately with the horrible economy, the nurse apprentice positions are not being offered.. at least not while I have been in school. I graduate in May and I'm getting sooo nervous about finding a job.. It is SO hard right now!

I would have absolutely LOVED to get the experience and work as a nurse apprentice.. Bummer.

Leilani1983 - I suggest you keep looking throughout nursing school... Usually you can get a nurse apprentice position after your 1st full year of nursing school, at least that's what I was told. Since there were no positions offered, I took the CNA exam instead, but still never got a job doing that either! It's really hard right now..
