hey everyone

i just got a letter about taking the teas test on september 29. Im so nervous. Has anyone here got the letter yet or has taken the version V teas? How was it? I only got about 4-5 weeks to study so i dont really know how well i can do. Also, just wondering again, what is the lowest score avc nursing program accepts on the teas? Was it like around 65%???

Yes I took version V in February. It was a lot harder than I thought it was going to be and I studied for quite a while (several months). Study chemistry! For some reason there was a lot on chemistry like the bonds and ions etc. As long as you buy the study manual you will be ok. I believe you have to get a 62%. I got a 72, and my friends got like 62.3% or something crazy like that. OH there's this really weird symbol on the math section. Found out after it's a glitch in the computer. So that contributed to a lot of our low scores.

GOOD LUCK!

OMG!!!I just learned that I got bumped 8 spaces down the waitlist because there were 8 people who deferred their acceptance before and decided, "HEY I'LL TAKE THE TEAS THIS TIME!" :mad: I'm just venting because I don't think it was fair. The program only accepts 20 students for the coming semester and unfortunately, because of this bumped, I wont make it this Spring. :crying2:

Hello all! I am new to allnurses and would like to know if anyone can update me on how many semesters it takes to get approved for the LVN-RN program at AVC? I saw on prior posts it was a 2-3 semester wait, is that still the case if you have all prereqs finished? Also, how long is the wait for COC and any other colleges if you have the info on them? Seems like a long wait here in the AV, we sure need another college out here to offer an RN program.

Thank you!

Hi NurseDalee, I heard the bridge program which is the lvn-rn program has at least a 2-3 years waiting list! Yes it is long. I think its better if you call in the departnment and find out yourself but i beleive wat i heard is correct because i came into the department asking about my waiting list rank and heard one of them telling a student on the phoen that it was going to be that long. Yes, i definitely agreee we need another college out here or they need to take in more students for the program every sememester. For COC i have no idea sorry. I am currently on the waitlist for the R program and so far, i have waited a year. I finally got the letter to take the teas test for the entrance into the program this spring so yeap. Well, goodluck to u! I hope you can find a lvn-rn program soon that dont have such a long waiting list.

Thank you for responding munkeyann. It is terrible that we have to wait so long to get into a program! I will go and ask again at AVC about the waiting time, but sounds as if people are waiting yrs to get in. I heard that at COC, if you have your prereqs done, then the wait time is not long. I'm gonna go there and ask some questions about the program. Well, good luck to you and thanks again! :nurse:

Hey MunkeyAnn...are you going to the informational session?

munkeyann · Oct 9, 2011

hey MayeLVN, wat informational session? I havent heard from the department telling me to attend one. Is there one for this month? Im actually a little lost, can anyone attend the infomrational session, or just the people who got accepted into the program for next semester? Cause well, I just taken my teas on sept. 29, and I pass with a 79% (so happy, my sis with a 72%). Anyqways, the department told me that they wont be sending the acceptance letter until November. So, I guess Im assuming that maybe you're already accepted and theyre telling you to attend one. Haha im sorry MayeLVN. I dont know about this session, but i would like to go. Am I suppose to sign up for it? Can you tell me a bit about what it is? Thanks!

Hi Munkeyann,

I received an email on Thursday(10/5) for the informational session. It stated that the attendance is limited only for the ones being considered for admission to the Intersession 2012/ and NS 110/111. But it also stated that it is not a guarantee for admissions. This is not the orientation...

Check your spam box...

I asked ---- on Wednesday if they have updated the list. She said that they won't update it until after the LVN's take the TEAS this coming week and the results will be emailed out after Nov 5 or later...

Call -------- on Monday...she was the one who emailed the Info Session information out..

Again, they have not updated the list as of yet. So don't lose hope..

BTW are you in the generic pool? Did you apply anywhere else? Coz in my case, unless 8 LVNs got accepted somewhere else, didnt pass the TEAS or deferred...I'm sure not in for this Spring. AVC only offers the bridge during the Spring session. I'm still keeping my fingers crossed.

Well, best of luck...

oh wow thanks MayeLVN. I actually just check my email on myavc. For some reason, I keep assuming they will contact you through the regular mailing letter. Totally forgot about checking my emails. Yes, thanks for clearing it up for me. I will be attending it, hoepfully on oct. 27. I am actually in the generic program, and the last time i check before i was scheduled for the teas test, I was around 50. So I'm really keeping my finger crossed to be acccept this coming semester. I hope you do too. Eight people is not that much so hopefully, you will get a spot. But wow, that really sucks if you cant get into the brigde this spring. That's like another year to go. Im really sorry. Have you try COC?

Oh, and i didnt apply anywhere else. I only apply at AVC, so this is like my only chance. Well, hoepfully I will meet you at one of these informational session, and everyone else who is on this thread. Good luck to you too!!
