Faulkner State Community College

Mrs Future RN · Jan 18, 2015

I've been told that 175 -180 was usually the cutoff for getting in. I've never heard of someone with over 200 points not getting in, unless it was for other reasons. I was about to apply there for the spring with 182 points (was currently taking A&P II) and someone told me I shouldn't have a problem getting in. I ended up applying to Bishop because I live in Mobile and didn't want to do the drive to Faulkner and I had no problems getting accepted there.

Good Luck!!!

Thanks for replying, Mrs Future RN! I feel better now about being accepted. All I'm really nervous about now is the TEAS test.

Congratulations about being accepted into Bishop! I looked into their program but I live in Summerdale so Faulkner would be closer. If you don't mind me asking, have you graduated from the program yet? And if so, have you had trouble finding a job with an AS instead of a BSN? Thanks so much!

I'm in my first semester now. From what I heard (nurses in my family and friends), ASN don't have a problem finding jobs in our area. The hardest place to get hired would be USA hospitals, but even that's possible. All others are very accepting of ASNs.

Awesome. Thanks for the information!

I applying for the fall semester as well!

Awesome! Have you taken the TEAS V yet? I took it in January and got a 69. I ended up coming down with strep the next day though so I'm hoping that I will do better when I take it March 13th.

I just recently took it on Feb. 23 and I got a 68.7. I was hoping to do better on the exam but my reading score was low so it brought my overall score down. I'm still praying that I will get accepted!

You don't have to be nervous, since you are taking the teas v again I'm sure your score will improve! :up:

Deer2013 · Mar 4, 2015

My overall science score was low. If I remember correctly, I think it was in the mid 50s. I'll be praying for you too! I hope we're both accepted.

As long as my score doesn't get any lower I'll be happy lol. Hopefully it will improve at least a point or two.

Are you applying anywhere else besides Faulkner?

RNtoBe2017 · Mar 4, 2015

Yes, I hope we are both accepted as well! I will be applying to Bishop State and USA. How about you?

Just Faulkner. I thought about applying to Bishop but it's a good 1 hour and 15 minute drive for me which is a bit too far for me.
