FSU RN program

by sconoli

I'm an LPN starting pre-reqs in august for the LPN articulation program at fairmont state university. Can anyone here tell me how to increase my chances of getting in? I'm 26, married and have a two year old, I work part time and I'm really wondering if it's worth it to take these classes and go into more financial aid debt when it's so hard to get into the program. Can anyone that's been through it successfully give me some advice? I really have to get through this and get my RN, my family needs this and personally for myself, I really need to accomplish this. It's too far to drive to AB or D&E, I live so close to fairmont it's really my only option.Thoughts and advice are really needed, thank you.

Default Re: FSU RN program
Hey! I was accepted this spring to Fairmont State for their RN program starting this fall 08. The first thing you want to do is go to their website and head to the nursing area and then the associate degree program area. On there you will be able to look at what they call the score sheet. This is what they use to decide who gets in or not. You can print it out and fill it out as you go. I know that at the bottom of the score sheet there is a place for an LPN bonus. You get 5 extra points if you are already an LPN which is a pretty big deal. The score sheet is out of 38 total points and I had a 38/38 on mine and I know a few girls who had over a perfect score. That being said, I also know that people with less than a perfect got in. I think they said the lowest score that got in this year was a 94%. The TEAS test is one of the biggest parts on the score sheet and you definately want to aim for an 80 on every section if you can get it. GPA and support classes are also part of the score. You can send me a private message if you want to ask me any more questions or if you would like some help on completing the score sheet!
