Hey Everyone,

Davenport University has as everyone knows changed there Associate Nursing program is to now a

BSN degree program! No problems there! I am however taking a Biostatistics class. Then I am taking a Chemistry class in the Warren Location.

As well do I need to have all my prerequisites finished to even apply in Febuary?

Does anyone know how hard the admission process is for the BSN program at Davenport?

How competitive is it? What type of GPA? Essay Style? Any tips to help out? What score does my TEAS

need to be?

How is the Davenport Nursing Program? Would your recommend it to others?

Anytips?

As well where are most of the clinical sites for the nursing program?

Thank you very much for your time, and I look forward to hearing your response.

Well, it looks like I was on the bubble, but According to my advisor, I was accepted into the accelerated track contingent upon successful completion of one science course (Chem). Since I will have completed Micro which is listed in the curriculum as a first semester class by the time the fall semester starts, I should be able to substitute and be okay.

Starting to get excited.

awesome. congrats mike! sorry if this font is horrible, i am posting from my cell phone and it looks enormous on here. heh! glad you made it though! and congrats on beating me with the slides in micro. hahaha!

i just heard from one of my buddies that one of our nursing professors (cant name names on here) works at the macomb health department and will apparently do our immunizations for free with our paperwork. so i think i am going next friday to get all of that taken care of. it just seems like so much to do in such a limited amount of time. ahh well, we'll manage!

Do you know if we must have a second TB skin test if the first was negative? I've got all my shots and titers now (except HepB 2 and 3 of course).

[Anoetos, BSN, RN]

Oh, and re: the slides, he said mine was too thick so I think you still won.

From what i have heard, we are required to do two. But i would email the professor in charge to double check.

Oh, and re: the slides, he said mine was too thick so I think you still won.

Woo Hoo!!! Maybe if you hang out with me long enough, some of my perfection will rub off on you! lol! jk!

Also...i don't remember if i mentioned it already, but i checked out the mens board like you mentioned and it was QUITE amusing. Makes me happy that i am not one of those CRAZY drama chicks that nags and nags. hah! OH...and i read a couple complaints to my fiancee and he just laughed and said "that isn't only in the nursing field" he works with 90% women as well. He could have written it word for word. So i think overall, those are broad complaints from men, about women. hah!

Okay....the Fall schedule is up!! Looks like Tuesday and Wednesday for the nursing classes, then i personally have to take medical terminology on fridays.

[Anoetos, BSN, RN]

Yep

We can compare in Micro Lab tomorrow, but it looks like we have much the same schedule.

That Med Term class is one credit, two hours...I wonder what to expect there.

[ACook84]

Hey Mike, i don't know if Don mentioned it to you, but a BUNCH of us are getting together for dinner on Saturday night. If you are free and like Mexican food, you should come! It'll give you a chance to meet more of your future classmates! Anyhow....I'll tell you more on Thursday, since this site doesn't like us divulging any "identifying information" lol!

Later!

[Anoetos, BSN, RN]

Sounds good, let me have the details Thursday.

Hi everyone,

I was wonderinf if it would be at all possible for you guys to kinda give me a roundabout of what the GPA and the TEAS scores were for those accepted? Like what was the lowest scores accepted? I'm trying to see if I will even have a chance for Fall 2011. Thanks!

GPA: 4.0

TEAS IV: 82.4

I really think they weight the essay and references significantly, maybe more so than GPA.

[ACook84]

they definitely use a point system. you get a certain number of points for your full GPA, your math and science GPA, your TEAS, your essay, each recommendation, and the number of prerequisites that you already have out of the way. So I know a couple students who had GPAs in the 3.5 range and a middle of the road TEAS and made it. Plus, another friend had a 4.0 GPA and a lower TEAS and didn't make it. So it DEFINITELY is more than just the GPA and TEAS.

Having said that, i had a GPA of 4.0 at DU, and a math and science GPA around 3.7

Then my TEAS was 86.4
