How To Apply
"Whenever I came in and talked with Clarice, in the beginning I was questioning my age. I'm 40 years old, and the girls I saw around me were in their mid 20s. I looked at Clarice and said ‘I don't know, maybe this isn't the right decision for me. Maybe I'm biting off a little bit more than I can chew.’ And she laughed and said ‘Absolutely not. We need nurses of every age. Not only do we need young nurses, but we need nurses with some life experience. You're still in the prime of your life.’ And when I left I just thought 'you know what, she’s right.'" -Becky C.

FAQs
- How do transfer credits work?
-
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.
Ask A Question - What entrance exams do I need to take?
-
If you are applying for the LPN program, you will need to take the TEAS exam. If you are applying for the Accelerated LPN to RN program, you will also take the ATI PN Comprehensive Predictor.
Ask A Question - What is the deadline for your application period?
-
We fill our program cohorts on a first come, first qualified, first served basis, so our application deadline is when the upcoming program cohort becomes full. Anyone accepted after the program cohort is full will be put on a waitlist for the next program cohort. In some cases, slots in an upcoming, full program cohort may become available in the case that a student in the upcoming cohort opts not to start.
Ask A Question
- How do gen-eds work?
-
Our general education classes are part of our program and can be taken during your program; 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.
Ask A Question - What course prerequisites do I need?
-
The only program that has course 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 an LPN and are applying for the Accelerated LPN to RN program, you will need 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. For transfer credit eligibility, please see our Student Catalog for a list of requirements.
Ask A Question - Besides the application, what all do I need to do to get into the program?
-
That depends on the program. Please see “prerequisites” and “requirements for Program” on the program pages. Please call us for any clarification.
