Brenda...Thanks for the vote of confidence, but I'm getting a little worried...Although as of Wed they hadn't sent them out...and every day seems like 7...So maybe tomorrow. I am stalking the mailman though! So they may take the to the crazy house. And my new comforter of choice is FOOD...LOL Plenty of junk food!

Kate...How did you do on your TEAS if I may ask? And your 4 prereqs? Are you applying for the traditional RN or transitional(LPN to RN) Just curious..Oh and where are you applying..Which campus? Anyway...Good Luck to you too...

Hi Jill! I scored 93.5 on the TEAS, which I'm very happy with. So far, I have two As and one B. That gives me 176.5 points the way the South Bend campus figures scores (30+30+20+93.5+3). I heard (unofficially of course!) that last year the cutoff was around 180 for the RN program. So if I get an A in my remaining Anatomy course I will end up with 206.5, or 196.5 with a B.

Do the other campuses score the same way?

Columbus is the same way. They don't send theirs out until after March 1st.
Have you called and ask them when they send them out? I don't know why some campuses are late and some early. One poster on another thread stated she got her letter on Feb 14th!

Food is GOOD! I have some freeze dried snacks I got at a health food store called Just Veggies. They are delicious! But of course, my stash of chocolate is my desk drawer and my husband and son know their lives will be cut short if they touch it.......LOL!
I KNOW you will get in!!!! It is a hard wait! We need to suggest to them to get those letters out the day AFTER the deadline.....LOL!

Good luck to you Kate! I'll be thinking about you in the months to come. Let me know what happens!

The campus I go to scores the same way. I have 212 right now and am re-taking the TEAS on Friday (89.4 my first try) to hopefully get a few more points. Congrats on the 93.5, actually I believe they round up so you got 94, thats an awesome score!

[littlemamakt]

Thank you all for the support through this. Only you gals going through it too can know just how it feels! At least I finally feel like I can start planning for nursing school this Fall with this TEAS score.

Pnkro, which campus are you applying to? South Bend is supposed to be one of the easier programs to get into because they have a lot of slots, but now that I'm looking though my info, I can't find a number of how many. I think I may email the ASN director and find out.

Kate,
I live in NW Indiana so the campuses by me are Valpo and Gary. I have already put in my app for Gary even though I'm retaking the TEAS. They just told me to bring my new scores up to the office. I was going to apply to Valpo as well until I found out their NCLEX pass rate is only 50%. Gary doesn't seem to be too competitive, and their pass rate is 76%. Still not a great rate but they said the LPN's rate is 95% so something is going wrong the second year. The advisor told me they accepted someone last semester with a 76 TEAS and A's &B's on prereqs. At the nursing info session they said they only get about 60-80 apps for 20-30 spots. So I think I have a good chance of getting in.

[littlemamakt]

Congrats on the good scores/grades! It sounds like you'll be at the top of your pool for admissions. That must put you somewhat more at ease during your three month wait!

I wonder why the NCLEX rate is so low? I have no idea what the pass rate is in South Bend. How did you find out that info?

-Kate

You can find pass rates on the Indiana State Board of Nursing site. Just choose program type and click on pass rates.
