Questions & Answers

We have a 1 year Practical Nursing (LPN) program and a 1 year Accelerated LPN to RN program.

We offer the general education classes at our campus, which makes it easier for our students. Our general education classes are part of our program and can be taken during your program. This allows a student to get in and out faster; however, a lot of our students take the general education classes before their program begins, which lightens the full-time course load. Give Admissions a call to see which option might work best for you. 

The only program that has prerequisites is the Accelerated LPN to RN program. The Accelerated LPN to RN program is for current Licensed Practical Nurses (LPNs) who are IV Certified. If you are applying for the Accelerated LPN to RN program you will need to complete the 17 prerequisite credit hours BEFORE the program begins. The prerequisites include : Anatomy & Physiology I & II, English Composition, Introduction to Psychology and Principles of Human Nutrition. 

The LPN program does not have prerequisites, so you can get started right away.

That depends on the program, so the best answer is to give us a call. In general, we will need copies of a few documents, two satisfactory background screenings, two entrance exams completed, and some medical records. Call us for the checklist though!

That depends on you and your situation. Most of our students find it doable to work and go to school, but students and their schedules are different.

Absolutely! About 75% of our student population has children. It might take a little more work and planning, but they make it work and have different ways of how they manage it.

If you are applying for the LPN program, you will take the TEAS exam.

If you are applying for the Accelerated LPN to RN program, you will take the ATI PN Comprehensive Predictor that asks nursing related questions.

The Wonderlic exam is a 95 question timed exam that covers Verbal and Quantitative skills. You have 3 attempts to pass the exam. The $50 application fee will cover your first attempt, but any attempts after that will have a $10 fee. You can find study material here.

If you have applied for one of our programs and have taken the Wonderlic within the past year, you do not have to retake the exam.

The TEAS exam is a 170 question exam covering Math, English, Science, and Reading. You will have about 3.5 hours to complete the exam.

All applicants to the LPN program must pass this exam for acceptance into the program. A calculator is built into the exam, so do not bring your own. You will have 2 attempts at this exam. There is a $70 fee for every attempt of this exam.

You will need to wait to take nursing classes until the next program start date but once it does your only focus will be on those nursing courses while you are in school.  

Please contact us for a Transfer Evaluation Request Form to make sure that the class(es) you are considering will transfer.

A “cohort” is the group of students that have been accepted and will start taking the program together. Nursing cohorts only start once per year and have additional admissions requirements. Everyone that starts a new cohort together will progress through the courses together and will take each class in a specific order throughout the duration of the program. If there is time before your cohort starts, you may take any of the “general education” courses early to get some of them out of the way. You MUST meet with a TCTC admissions staff member to get this set up.

We fill our programs on a first come, first qualified, first served basis, so our application deadline is when the program becomes full. Anyone who gets accepted after the program is full will be put on a waitlist and will take the place of anyone who decides not to start the program.

After starting your application with us, if you have college credits from another school, you may request an official transcript be sent to us from that institution. Once we receive your TCTC application and official transcripts from your previous institution, our registrar will evaluate your transcript and we will let you know which classes, if any, are eligible for transfer.

Unfortunately, we cannot accept transfer credits for our core nursing classes; only general education classes will be evaluated. For transfer credit eligibility, please see our Student Catalog for a list of requirements.

See “How do transfer credits work?” We will take a look at your official transcript and let you know.

You will need to have an official transcript sent to us AFTER completing the class. See “How do transfer credits work?” if you have questions on how the process works.

We only allow general education classes to be reviewed for transfer. Core nursing classes must be taken at our college during your program.

First, complete a FAFSA at fafsa.gov. Make sure that you put our school code (035793) on your FAFSA so we will get your information. Then, set up an appointment with our Financial Aid office to discuss cost of program and the financial aid that may be available for you.

We do not accept the A+ Scholarship, but we do accept other scholarships, grants, and loans. Just meet with the financial aid office and they will help you find aid.
