Riverside professional nursing

Hello all! I am applying to Riverside in Newport News in a few weeks, and I was wondering if anyone else on here is doing the same or have done so? I am even interested in hearing from those that are in the program or have graduated. Does anyone know how competitive it actually is? I was told that 32 spots will be filled and I do not know how many normally apply. My gpa is not as strong as I would like it to be, but I am taking the TEAS V on April 24th and I am hoping to get a high score. If you are applying, what is your gpa and test score? If you are in the program already, what was your gpa and test score and do you love the program. This is my first choice program and I really really want to get in. Any information any of you could give me would be helpful and appreciated! Thank you!

Ahhh ok! I take mine this upcoming Wednesday (the 24th)! I will submit my application after that. Good luck to you!

I noticed you mentioned that you plan to apply to the program "after" you take your TEAS. I wasn't aware that was an option. I was told by the admissions dept. that they schedule your test date after they receive your completed application. Just wondering.... BTW good luck and blessings your way today.

It's not an option from the school, but I applied to another school (LPN) and wanted to see my score before I applied to Riverside. I figured if I failed the TEAS V, it would be a waste of money on the second application. BUT, I passed and my score was high enough to get into the RN program, sooo if I get into the LPN program I applied to I will take it, if not I will continue my pre-requisites and next year I will apply for the RN program at Riverside and the BSN program at Sentara.

Hello! Which program are you applying to? I am also applying to Sentara so I set it up with them and was told by riverside I would just need to have ATI send them my scores after I take it. Thank you guys! I'm hoping to score in the 90's...but we will see.
