Nursing Students Pre-Nursing

Published

Hi everyone! Congratulations to those of you accepted for Fall 2010!!! I was wondering if there was anyone out there besides myself who had been accepted to Forsyth Technical Community College in Winston-Salem, NC for the Fall 2010 semester. If sooo, please reply.

Thanks!

Hey mandataye I got in the fall and 2010!

ive got 40% on all parts but i am going to take it again. i also have all the non nursing courses finished.

tmgordon,

you will probably get in. I got my alternate's list letter today- so I may be joining you guys after all! I just hope some folks decide to drop lol.

Courtney,

How many points do you have? The letter I received today said they accepted 147-179 for the fall. Use this as your guide. 70 might work for you as long as you have both A&Ps! :]

Hey guys! Sorry i'm behind..

We had orientation yesterday and six people didn't show up. So already there are six alternates that are going to get a spot. There are a lot of requirements that have to be filled and i'm sure there will be people that for whatever reason won't get it done. If you received an alternate letter I definetly would remain hopeful.

Congrats BK!! :) What section are you in? I'm in 101 with Friday's off... but four days a week.

If you got a 70 on the teas I would take it over. 70 is passing but not competitive. I bought Kaplan's "Nursing Entrance Exam" book and it helped me quite a bit. Touch up on fractions, decimals etc.

Also, if you don't have Anatomy that's probably why you didn't get in. That's the one science course they look at to judge how successful they think you would be. There were only three people out of the 72 that had not taken anatomy and I believe they were high school students who were going straight into the program.

It took me two years to get here..and there were a lot of other people that were the same way..so don't give up. It is a long process.

Hope to see you guys in the Fall! Again, they're already droppin like flies..haha. Don't worry about it. Good luck!!!!

Thanks for replying Manda! I hope that orientation went well. I'm not sure how many alternate spots there are but I thought I remembered them saying 15. If so, i'm probably at the bottom of the barrel somewhere- so I am hoping some folks do drop for whatever reason. I've heard of people getting called three weeks before nursing school begins to fill a spot, but by then it seems like you'd be so far out of the loop that it'd be hard to catch up! Keep us updated girl :]

Yeah they said they've called people the week before class before. I will definetly keep you updated!!

I got my letter today I made the alternate list.I thought I had 146 points because I thought the tease test would round up but it did not so i only have 145.9 points.My letter said that they accepted people with 148-179 points.I was so close.I hope that some people decide not to go so that I can get in. I wonder how many people are on the alternate list.I called the admission office today and they said that they did not know. If anyone knows please post it.missdixie023 I hope that we both get in.I guess we can be positive beause we did not get a letter stating that we were not accepted.My friend just found outthat she got accepted in to GTCC program today CONGRATS Alicia:nurse:

Congrats tm :] I have a feeling you won't have a problem getting in. You are 3 points closer than I am, and i'm thinking I might be at the bottom of the barrel. BUT, Ms. ***** did say in the info session that they usually take a lot of their alternates, so I guess we will see. I think that she said they have 15 people on the alternate list. I'd be curious to know if anyone with a lower rank than me got an alternate letter. I'm going to call her monday and ask what position i'm in just out of curiosity. Let me know if you find out, and definitely keep me updated if they bump you in :] Good luck!!

I will keep you inform and you do the same . I wonder where I am on the list as well because Manda Taye said that six people did not show up so that mean that they should be calling people soon on the alternate list. :nurse:

i have 148 with my teas being 70. i wanted to retake it after i finished it, but u cant retake it right away. i didnt study for it at all. it was a last minute thing. i got some books yesterday. does anyone know how likely it is that they accept transfer students to their program. i just moved and took everything at gaston college.

Did you apply to the program.If you had 148 points you should have got in if you made 40 percent on all of the parts of the tease test.If you took classes at another college they should transfer.:nurse:

no i havent i just wanted to know about forsyth since i moved. i was just going to keep commuting because i fear that if i try somewhere else my credits wont count but i noticed forsyth doesnt require microbiology but my school does, they also dont require chemistry so they looked easier to get into. my current school gives us the option of taking the sat act or teas and they dont have an alternate list, they also dont have two programs like forsyth.
