PHSC 2015 Nursing Hopefuls

Sharona918 · Jul 28, 2014

Hello,

I am going to apply for RN program. I go the the West campus. I just took the TEAS test last week and did not do great. I scored a 64.7. I took the test blind so I can get an idea what I need to work on. I will be taking it one more time before I put my application in. I borrowed a TEAS study book from a friend that coinsides with the test. My pre-req GPA is only a 3.2 so I am hoping if I score higher on the TEAS I will have a better chance. Good luck when you take yours.

Hey Sharona918!

I am also applying for the RN program. My home campus is Porter at Wiregrass, but I wouldn't mind going to the West Campus, being that it is the same distance. Maybe i'll see you there! I'd be willing to take either location if I were to get in. I've been studying a little bit, but I'm basically taking it this coming Tuesday so I am also able to gauge where I am at and what I need to work on. If I don't do good this time, I will also take it one more time before I apply. I really hope to find more hopefuls applying for 2015.

Good luck in everything!

I applied for the 2014-2015 fall program for both RN and LPN but i was accepted into the LPN for fall 2014. My stats for the teas was a 72 and a 3.2 GPA. I really just went for it because I didnt think my stats would get me into either program. To say the least I was overjoyed to get into the program and start August 25th. With your GPA i would say u have a great chance. The teas practice handbook is a great source. I just didnt use it as much as I should have. Good Luck and in my opinion its really just a pool lottery.

I am a 2015 hopeful as well. Retaking the TEAS in Sep. i studied from the mcGraw practice book but just ordered the ATI. What do you think was hard about the Teas? Science was a nightmare for me and My mind went blank when i got to the math part. Hopefully we both do amazing the second time around. My home campus is EC but wouldn't mind going to Porter same distance I live in Zhills and the daycares in WC are way better if I get accepted for me to put my daughter in 1. I am so nervous. Does anyone know how many seats are open for the Rn program and what PHSC minimum score is for the Teas?

I found the Science hard. The math wasn't as bad as I thought it was. I am going to retake it at the end of the month. The ATI book is really good. I borrowed it from a friend and it makes things a little easier to understand. I keep hearing that they accept 75 people for the January program. I am just keeping my fingers crossed. The lady told me 58.7 is what you need to be allowed to apply for the program.

Good luck taking the Teas.

I took the TEAs today and got what you need to score to apply into the program, but I was not happy at all. I studied for about 1.5 months using the McGraw book and the ATI study manual. I also used some online sources that I actually found from this site. I am hoping to get into the PHSC west campus ( my home campus) RN program in spring 2015. I know that the application and website says you need just a proficient.. (which i got ...) and a GPA of at least 2.5 to apply ( I have a way higher GPA than that).. but anyone have any idea what the normal average GPA or TEAs score people have been getting accepted with? I keep seeing that apparently if you get in the 60's-70's for a score on the TEAs that its really good!? That is mind boggling to me that a normal score that isn't wonderful, is amazing with this test. I found I was running out of time with the Math section, because I was trying to be critical and take my time. The math was my worst section . Science I found some questions a little difficult and a bit random; I was not expecting some of the questions. I hope to be able to meet you all in the Spring- Good luck with the process! :)

When I took it I studied from the mCgraw but didnt feel like it was the same as the test. I focused a lot on verbs, nouns, etc for the english but didnt get any questions regarding that. Do you feel like the ATI was more helpful?

jshepp1989 · Aug 13, 2014

@sweet101.. I used the McGraw book after I used the ATI one.. The only thing I don't like about the McGraw book is, it literally is just All practice tests.. With the ATI after taking tests or even doing the practice questions whatever answers I got wrong I could refer back to the material and re- read it and understand it better

sweet101 · Aug 13, 2014

Yea I think im going to refer to the ATI since I got my results and just focus on what I need to work on better.
