Hi everyone,

I just found this forum and it made me excited to see people who also applied to Bellevue posting here. Like all of you I've worked my butt off on prerequisites while also juggling a full time job and kids. I would be interested to hear other peoples TEAS scores... I scored an 82 :/ not as high as I would have liked but I'm hoping to get into at least winter cohort. I was a little nervous seeing my score after the adviser told me aiming for a 90 would be best but I'm hoping I still get accepted into the winter cohort. Fingers crossed and good luck to all of you!

What I have noticed as far as working is that most of us work jobs that are extremely flexible. For me, for example, my main job allows me to work as little as two shifts a month and I can work those on call if needed. I usually do two shifts a week and it's been pretty stable.

I'm kind of curious. What do they expect you to bring to clinicals. Also what color scrubs are we going to need? I hope we don't have some tacky color like teal. Lol

Hey guys,

Ive been eyeing this thread for a while but finally decided to pop in on the conversation. I've been a little worried about my TEAS scores and it's been stressing me out. I got a 79, and I know that's not super competitive. I still have my fingers crossed and I'm hoping for the best. Did anyone else get a lower score than they had originally thought they would?

The scrubs are cranberry I believe. Darkish red. There will be a supply list in the orientation if you get in.

brian.lansing · Apr 12, 2015

Perfect. Red is definitely my color.

I'm starting to think not as many people applied to Bellevue this year. What a dead forum.

jaycam, RN · Apr 12, 2015

Ours didn't really pick up until late April last year. Also, I can only think of a handful of AN members in my class. Was pretty random I found this place. I think I was using Google to look up something I heard at work.

I can't wait to get our letters bac. Not knowing has been killing me!!

Hello everyone,

I will be applying to Bellevue College in fall 2016. Im curious if anyone is currently in the program or recently graduated and your thoughts of the overall program. Is it really a great nursing program to attend? I've heard great things about it but I would like to hear about it directly from students in the program.

Thanks!

jaycam, RN · Apr 18, 2015

It's tough, but to be truthful, I'm a big believer in the best things in life are the ones you have to work for. The program has an awesome reputation, they focus on the students and while I've had to work hard, I actually feel like it's a good thing.

Jaycam,

How competitive are students for grades? Do teachers ever give statistics or post students grades for exams in public? Are the teachers at least good at giving progesterone reports or current grades?
