Hi, I am a 1st semester student. It's great to see fellow upperclassman in here. Do you have any tips on how to prepare the exams better (aside from focusing on reading the books and outcomes/objectives)? Also, how was clinical? I'm a nerve wreck because I feel like I don't know anything yet. :)

Any tips for the summer leading up to the start?

I'm going to study dosage calculations and brush up on my A&P - but wondering if either of you have any recommendations :)

Thanks!!

Hi,

I am looking to applying for the Spring 2012 session. Can any of you tell me what point totals you go in order to be accepted for that semester? I am just trying to guage where I may be. Also, can you tell me what you got on the TEAS test?

Thanks!!

Best of luck to you new nurses. Grossmont's program is awesome from what I hear. I am currently volunteering with a grad nurse and she loved it!

Hi Luv2helpppl -

Grossmont does not disclose point totals whether you are accepted or not (I think so people don't go around comparing point totals and looking to contest different application evaluations). So I was unable to find out how many points they gave me. But based on my own guess, I landed somewhere in the mid-80's (?). I had points for every piece of criteria except for previous degrees (I have none).

Other than that, I had straight A's and other criteria that helped me make up for those 15 missing points. For the TEAS, I JUST made the 90's mark.

I think as long as you have good grades and a decent TEAS score (plus you mentioned you volunteer), you have a pretty good chance of getting accepted. I believe they are still taking 25% from the existing waitlist as well.

Good Luck!! :)

I just moved to California and I'm looking for a program out here... Reviews seem to be good, but how long is the waitlist? Do they accept people each year, where I'm at in Orange County, they've had so many people apply that when you apply just get added to the waitlist or denied then every year they just bring people off of the waitlist to fill the class.

No waitlist. They go by a point system now. You get one shot at the TEAS and they take your first score. You can go on their website and download the point system criteria. They basically break it down by science classes, then core classes, degrees, languages, disability, etc.
