Re: Any PPCC Hopefuls here?
Hi Robyn - The TEAS test was pretty easy, in my opinion. A lot of simple algebra (if you've taken the nursing math class you will be fine). There are some earth science question on rocks and volcanoes, etc. I used the Kaplan TEAS review book and I scored in a great percentile. A lot of people freak about this test but I think that if you pick up this book and review a section at a time, in about a month, you will have it all down!
The CNA class does NOT have to be taken at PPCC! You can take it anywhere you want but if you do not take it at PPCC then you will have to take the state test to become certified. Otherwise, if you do take it at PPCC, then they will take the credits and you don't have to take the state test. Hopefully this helps!
3.4 is a great grade average if you are going to be applying soon. I think they stated the current average for pre-reqs was a 2.9 GPA...but that will change as most people start to realize that to get in, it will be competitive.
Good luck and I hope this helps! I start in Jan. to the nursing program and I can't tell you how excited I am!!!
