im sorry i forget how some of the other nursing programs work**

*

let me explain this to some of you so seem to think its "too good to be true" lol cuz it prob sounds like a load of bs that i would know as soon as i apply or how smooth and stress free this process is ...I am in Orlando FL and will be attending Valencia Community college. Their nursing program works a little differently then im sure what your use to . There is no "sorry we can accept you's" ...there is no 3.0 students with 85% teas scores being denied ...and this is how i think more nurisng schools should operate .

*

*at my school as long as you have taken all your pre-req's and passsed with a C or better, taken and passed the TEAS with atleast a 75%* and ur gpa is atleast a 2.5 you can apply and you are garenteed a seat . WHen you apply, as long as you have met the above criteria you are placed on a waiting list*due to the large number of students that apply.*they admit 320 students a year( some every semester) .**WHen i submitted my app, they were taking apps for SUMMER 2011 session , However when i sat down with my advisor he said it is possible i could* be admitted spring 2011 and that i would recieve an email within a week saying when i would get to start . Im excited, but HATE the year of waiting . Now some of you might think this process is a little to easy , well let me tell you, the people who arent cut out for nursing school are weeded out sometime between a&p2 and micorbio..these 2 classes are very instese. students who dont make it thought usualy dont bother to apply

So before you start giving out your sarcastic winks ...get ur facts straight...just saying *wink*

naenae1979 · Mar 21, 2010

1st of all!!!! That was just rude! YOU need to give facts so I will have them to get them straight! JUST SAYIN!!! Sorry, I go to a NORMAL school where the competition is VERY COMPETITIVE and they dont just go around accepting everyone with a passing score....next time, give more facts and you wont get these types of "too good to be true" reactions! :devil:

alright, your right. sorry . that was a bit ****** .

its not a matter or "normal" school though, vcc has one of the top nursing programs in the country .**and i tell you, i have met with a couple of pre nursing students and it sure as hell isnt just*"anybody" being admitted . After all, why would apply if you couldnt get through the pre-req's in one pieace. i guess i forgot the ardeous (teas test word ! haha) process some of you go through and dont reliaze everyone has it as smoothly as i do. I think the addmission process is perfect, it bothers me that so many school make nursing out of reach . i applied with a 80% teas score and a 3.5 GPA...i worked my ass off for that and it sucks that maybe theres someone eles like me out there that really wants to go to nursing school*, *but at the school where they are "their best isnt good enoug" . Not everyone is a 3.9999 overachiver with a 95% teas score- i am props to you if you are, thats an amazing thing to accomplish . But if your like me, and you try hard, nobody should be able to say "sorry, you worked you ass off for 2 years, and studied for 6 months to get a passing teas score ..but 3.5 isnt good enough"

congrats!

vccorscc · Mar 21, 2010

thankss :]

ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh i cant wait to starrt =D

naenae1979 · Mar 21, 2010

I agree 100%! I could only wish it were that way here. BUT....its not! I am a non tradiotional student who has 2 very small children, and I do have that 4.0, however, I did NOT score very high on the TEAS! It just sucks that I have actually worked my butt off to maintain my 4.0, and yet I have a very low TEAS...Hopefully I will get in. I wont know anything until the end of May. I mean...we go through all the tears and sweat just to get accepted. AND you would be VERY surprised to see some of the students in my pre-nursing seminar classes....some that ask the most ignorant of questions...so YES! there are those that think they are cut out to do this and yet have a clue of what actual nursing school is really about! Thanks for the apology! lol!!!:)
