3. Is 22 points good enough 4 Weatherford College

   NurseBettyICU replied to vcurrin02's topic in Texas

   All you alternates - keep your heads up. I am an ADN student at WC (about to finish up my 1st semester). I was not even an alternate but was accepted at the last minute (got the call on Friday night, started classes on Monday!) TCC had accepted mor...

   Just curious if you went thru their CNA program? If so, how long did the whole process take and do you feel you learned enough?

6. Opinion on TEAS scores..TCC and Weatherford

   NurseBettyICU replied to wannabnursetx's topic in Utah

   I'm out at TCC anyways b/c I've taken some classes 3 times - they will only look at the highest of the 1st 2 times you've taken a class - even if 1 of the first 2 times you withdrew. The 'W' is counted as 1 change. UGH!!

   Thanks SN2010! You did answer my questions. As for any other questions I have... well I want to know EVERYTHING. LOL!! How is the program - more or less difficult that you thought it would be?

8. Questions for anyone who went thru Weatherford's ADN program

   NurseBettyICU posted a topic in Utah

   Just have a couple of questions.... 1. How many students started out at the beginning... a full class or were there less? 2. If a person is not an alternate, but there are any spots open even after the alternates, do they call the next person in lin...

9. Weatherford Spring 2010 25 points!

   NurseBettyICU replied to wannabnursetx's topic in Utah

   I had 21 points and an 82 on the TEAS... rejected. Did not even make the alternate list. On my rejection letter, it was marked that I didnt make the cut b/c of my TEAS score. Guess I'll be retaking that darn TEAS again in February (have to wait 6 mo...

10. Weatherford Spring 2010 25 points!

    NurseBettyICU replied to wannabnursetx's topic in Utah

    Ohhhhh maaaaaannn!!! Well that news certainly sucks to me since I only have 21 points as well. There is still a slight chance we could be chosen as alternates, and that most of those people with 24 & 25 points will be accepted to other schools an...

    NurseBettyICU posted a topic in General Students

    I am not yet a nursing student (just a little ole PRE-nursing student) lol. Anyway, I have read many posts about the amount of reading you are required to do in a short amount of time. Are you really able to comprehend all that you read? Seems like y...

14. Opinion on TEAS scores..TCC and Weatherford

    NurseBettyICU replied to wannabnursetx's topic in Utah

    The only pre-req I havent taken is English 2. TCC requires Eng 2, but WC doesnt. I wonder if I'll even have a shot at TCC b/c of this?

    So the deadline for turning in your application is approaching. Just curious about the competition. LOL! - What is your score? - Did you finish all of the pre-reqs? - Has anyone spoken to Karen and found out what the current "acceptable" score i...
