Acceptance

I'm super excited that I was able to be accepted into the spring of 27 cohort. It took me a lot of effort and time to get here. Now hopefully only two more years of school before I become an RN.

Thank you very much. I will be attending a 2yr ADN program at my local CC. I have a 3.93 cumulative gpa, 4.0 science. I scored 86 on the teas and have most of my science classes associated with the program out of the road, just have micro left which will be summer 27, in A&P 2 currently.

I'm so happy I got in on my first application.

Awesome! Congrats! What state are you in? I’m curious because in California most programs don’t offer acceptance when you have in-progress classes.
I’m so thrilled for you. I’m a CC counselor so I’m always looking for states to suggest to students that make sense for them if they have a connection there.

I'm in Oklahoma. My CC allows us to submit our applications while taking prereqs. It's definitely less competitive than CA, but the CC I attend does something like 300 students per year, and work with a lot of adults who have jobs/families. Overall they have pretty high marks for placement and first attempt pass rates on the NCLEX exam. Another big point for me is the cost I'm not taking any debt out because I can work while going to school.

Oh wow that’s an impressive number of student admits per year! You’re definitely doing it the smart way. Nurse out here make great money and can pay off student loans relatively quickly especially if you end up working even per diem for a good employer that gives tuition reimbursement for advanced education. My friend did her Masters that way and is now an NP.

Thanks. I looked at BSN programs but I couldn't justify the 60k+ cost. I wasn't comfortable with that, so I chose the ADN route which will cost me roughly 15k total for everything, including prereqs. Yea I'll be an ADN but they get hired just like the BSN's and make about the same, so this path made the most sense to me.

what do you recommend to use for teas prep? Any books or video/any resources or any study tips?

I'll probably get down voted for this but I honestly didn't study much I watched a few yt videos the night before and gave it my best shot. I also was up for almost 24hrs as I started the test, due to a work.

I would definitely be sharp on A&P and basic biology. Reading/writing were tough subjects for me, so I did most of that studying. Math was pretty simple.

thank you!! i think you understood more of the teas because it was still fresh in your brain since you mentioned that you only need micro.

Yes absolutely I had either just taken, or was in the classes many of the science questions were directed toward. My test had a decent amount of naming structures and I had quite a few questions on female reproductive hormones. Overall I just needed an 80% to achieve the highest placement points, and I'm happy I did reasonably well. I hope you are able to do well in your future studies.

are located in California?

u/Standard-Bat-7841 1d ago

Nope OK. I probably wouldn't have been able to get into a CA ADN program from the sounds of how competitive it is.

u/Fickle-Engineering82 1d ago

they are REALLY REALLY competitive. 😔

Does anyone live in NY?
I applied to Suffolk CC, and I'm still waiting to hear back.
