Published

Just wanting to connect & be/get encouragement from other hopefuls who are applying to the program. Anyway, who's up for stalking the mailman with me?

Proficient TEAS scores and 3.77 pre req GPA, but everyone on here is starting to make me really nervous!! Hopefully we find out soon!!

You can take the CPR at Brooksville Hospital and I think Spring Hill for only $20. It is a four-hour class in the evenings. They give it once a month.

Also, you will have to have chicken pox and rubella titer or booster done. You can opt out of the hep b, but you should get it done. You also have to have a tetorifice done and will need a flu shot before going to the hospital (keep receipt). They will take your word for the polio vaccine. You also have to get the PPD done and a physical exam. :)

@kt1830 Welcome and rest easy. Im betting folks here have some of the better stats. No real way to know. I have a 3.6 with advanced teas. I imagine that your stats and my stats balance each other out. Heres to both of us gettin in.

Everyone on here will most likely get in our stats are all on par with each other the people with higher gpa have lower teas and vice versa; as long as we all live in pasco/hernando. You only need a 2.5 gpa and a 58 teas to apply! ,so I'm sure there are a ton of low ballers applying , I imagine we are the top 15% of the pile; we seem to be a bit anal retentive about our stats maybe that's why

Am

I right or am I wrong?

@katmimm- the best thing to do is focus on something, like your classes, and just patiently wait for the letter to come. And keep checking this thread because when the letters start coming im sure people will post.

exactly, this is the 1st time in awhile that I'm glad to be so busy w school that I don't have time to think :confused: I have an A&PII quiz & Exam this week & have to study for Microbiology....:dead: but I agree that everyone on our thread has an excellent chance of getting in (at least thats what I try to keep telling myself lol)

@rnwannabe75- Yes im sure everyone with a 3.60 and above gpa and a 70 and above teas score will get in. It is a numbers game. Its all done by computer they just feed the stats in and out pop 48 people. They just vet the names.( Make sure the people who applied as pasco/hernando residence are actually residents, they do that by checking the address on our license, which we had to submit with the app). The letters then get printed out and they stuff them in the envelopes and send them out. Im sure they have an algorithm for any people that get into a tie with their rank, e.g. individual prereq class scores, or individual teas test scores, probably used as tie breakers.

@ Conquestador- That's why I'm checking this so often- to stay busy and see when the first person gets their letter.

Everyone- Just for fun & to better compare my stats against others I calculated my overall % based on the teas counting for 50%, pre req gpa for 45% and county for 5% (thats right isnt it?)

I figure I have a 88.85% overall. Of course that depends if my math is right (thats a big if) & if the school actually considers the % on teas score and not just advanced or proficient etc. This may not be accurate & I was just playing around with numbers so dont take this too seriously :)

My gpa is 3.6 so thats a 90% (3.6/4.0) 90 x .45 (45% is what gpa is worth) = 40.5

my teas score was 86.7% 86.7 x .5 (50% is what teas is worth) = 43.35

40.5 + 43.35 + 5 (I live in hernando) = 88.85

If you live in county & have 4.0 & 100 on teas the overall score would 100% so it seems to me that its accurate- even if formula isnt perfect.

Again just having some fun. I'm definetly not a math major so dont beat me up too much if I am totally wrong here :)
