Applying for Gordon Nursing Program Spring 2010

GaMommy81, you did great on the TEAS! Have you already taken the clep test for PSYC?

HI Guys,

Sorry I was in such a hurry I forgot to post the time it was at 2. Well this was another situation where everyone decided to stay mum...They refused to make absolutely any reference to the admission process. the They only focused on GCANS which is the Gordon College Association of Nursing.They were basically trying to recruit students to join, sign up for blood drives, buy T-shirts, participate in fund raising and volunteering events.They said it could ,not guaranteed, work in your favor during the admissions process especially for those who have no nursing experience.I was somewhat disappointed. It's like they want you to do all these things but won't even give you a clue about anything.Personally , this association is more beneficial once accepted into the program not as a pre nursing student.

I am applying for the nursing program for the Spring as well! And it is extremely irritating that no one will give us any answers. (Sorry I need to vent about this):

So funny story. I am a transfer student and I had to go to orientation this past August because I am taking 2 classes this fall. Well I went to orientation and one of the instructors said "You can take the TEAS as many times as you want to...as long as it is prior to the application deadline". Ok so I thought man that is great. I went down stairs to sign up for the TEAS. They had a test for July 16 (exactly one week from the orientation) and August 5. So I thought that I could just give it a try on the 16th and I will reschedule another time to take it on the 5th. I assumed I would do bad because I had exactly 7 days to study but I was working every single day up until the test. I did not study at all and I made a 71.2. Well afterwards I go to the nursing department to sign up to retest on August 5 and actually study. The woman was like Oh well after you take it once you cant take it again until next semester. I told her about orientation and what they had said there. Well he was talking to freshman saying that they can take the test as many times until time for applying.

And they were making a 71 sound great. She said that anything above a 70 is really good. She said that because I have A's in both of my anatomy classes that I SHOULD get in. But then I asked about the whole point system and that was that. It is just a point system and they would not explain how things are evaluated.

Anyways sorry about the venting it just upset me that they were not very clear.

Ok, listen up! Since I'm already in the program this fall, I can be an inside source for you. I used to come on here allllllll the time to checkup and see if I could help some of you out with questions etc. but the work load has me going in EVERY POSSIBLE DIRECTION!!! LOL. But anyway, as of last week, we ordered out uniforms *yippee!!!* lol and we're ordering our name badges this week. Our uniforms will be here next week and Clinicals start the 2nd week in October...scary lol. None of us know where we're going as of yet, but we'll know here soon. I'm gonna try my best and log on here a lil more often to see if I can help you all out some more. *sigh* Time to get ready for another week....lol
