I just got in Cocoa program starting Monday with 34 points, a very high TEAS 4.0 and a very high GPA with my completed AA. They say they don't use the GPA because some people may have taken fluffy easy classes while other taken more difficult science...

Hi firewife777, I am getting ready to apply. I take the teas on the 25th. How about you? Have you done all the required items? I am concerned about the points. I have 28 points and a GPA of 3.81. I am finishing my last class for AA and it is Co...

She'll be 52 whether in school or not!! I love your Aunt! I will also be 52 when I finish my RN program. (If I pass this TEAS test this month) GO for it! I have made such good friends with some sweet young future nurses. A couple of them that I...
I just found out I am scheduled to take teas 4 on the 25th of Jan. Very short notice, so I am stressed. I went to Barnes and Noble and bought the TEAS V book because that was all they had. Do you think it will be OK using V for teas 4? I need some k...

Wow, lots of info and opinions. I appreciate everyones thoughts. I am almost afraid to ask, but what is an OP? It appears, despite my age, the BS may be the better route. If I understand my CC advisor correctly, I can actually do my BSN through a...

Ok, that makes sense. So which would you do if you could have your choice? I thought I had everything mapped out and was on a perfect course to get in the program by doing my prereq's at the CC and getting in their program. Now I have new prereq's w...

I don't have an answer for you since I am still a student myself. I just wanted to say congratulations and good luck. I hope you get some feed back from a "seasoned interviewee" soon.
I am 48 and in community college doing all my prereqs for entrance to the nursing program. I had planned to do the AS for RN but when I registered last week for more of my classes, the advisor suggested I take classes to transfer to get the BS in nur...
