Started a new thread, since the other threads on this topic look like they are from last year.
Okay,
I just got my acceptance letter in the mail today!!
I was going totally mental with anxiety, checking this board several times a day to see when people were hearing back, compared to when they had applied and what their stats were. I was also very nervous about how I had done on the TEAS, so I wanted to post my info to help other people a little. Here are my stats:
I applied to the school January 4th, 2010. I took the TEAS January 23rd, 2010.
Previous BA degree in anthropology. I graduate in August of 2009 with a 3.46 cumulative GPA.
I took A&P I last fall, at Gateway: B
Developmental Psych: A
TEAS: 81.2% (mean national was 72.8% and the mean for the program 73.3%)
My adjusted individual scores were as follows:
Reading: 82.5%
Math: 82.2%
Science: 70%
English: 85.5%
In all my nervousness, I called two days ago and was told that I would likely hear back from the in school 4-6 weeks. Then I got my letter today, February 5th. For the record, my admissions essay was based on a CNA training course I took in the fall and I also think that having a previous BA really helped, especially in seeing past that nasty 70% in the science section of the TEAS.
Good luck and I hope this information was helpful, or at least of interest, to some of you!!
@tojasmine... I'm not sure but good luck... I feel your pain... the wait is excruciating. It could be worse though. I applied to gateway as well as BHSN and they don't send out acceptances till May 1.
@tojasmine Congrats the wait is finally over! I could not wait to find out if I was in or out either. I hope to see you in Sept. I chose the day program =) :clpty::dncgbby:CELEBRATE!
k5674321 did not want to take a job from bridgeport? because i know many students that are working there already and they just graduated in december from bhsn. they like to keep bhsn students
I just heard that Bridgeport doesn't take A&P I or microbiology and that you have to test out of them or else retake them at Housatonic. Can anyone confirm this?? I got accepted last month, but if I'm going to have to do those over I don't know if I'll go there.
no that is st. vincent's. bridgeport accepts all credits as long as they are within 5 years. if you want the ADN you need you have at least 75% of your credits at housatonic. otherwise you will get a diploma which is basicly the same and transfers the same credits to a BSN program.
While in school you need to apply for Student Nurse Assistant jobs after your 2nd/3rd semester. Don't wait or rely on school to help you get a job. You're a nurse, be aggressive and go get it!
