Blinn Nursing - Fall 2010

Published

I've noticed that there is one post from 2008 asking about Blinn nursing school. I figured I'd give this a shot anyways. I was accepted into the Blinn nursing program for fall 2010. I was wondering if there was anyone else on the site that was accepted into this program as well? Anyone in my class? Anyone with experience/advice about Blinn? I'd like to know what I need to do/buy and what may be more of a waste of money (like half of the books that I bought for classes in my bachelor degree were useless). Anyways, I hope to hear from someone! lol

Hi :), Since youve been accepted recently, could you give me any advice when applying to Blinn's ADN program, it will truly help me :)

Hello! I just received my letter to take the TEAS V exam!! Now I need to get my butt studying. Does anyone know if all the sections are required?

They notify you about taking your TEAS after they've clarified that you have minimum requirements to apply. I got my acceptance letter to the program on June 2nd.

Take all of the prereqs if you can, do well in those classes, I pre-wrote my essay ahead of time and memorized it, and study for TEAS. The TEAS had reading, math, science (Chem, bio, physics, minimal anatomy), critical thinking, etc. I guess it's all the sections. I used the Kaplan Nursing School Entrance Exam study guide and I scored in the top 99 percentile in the nation. I think it really helped.

What was your GPA when you applied?

Thank you for the advice! I will take my TEAS in about 2 weeks. I hate that they wait until JUNE... seems like forever and if I get into another school I applied to it will be a waste to take this TEAS and do the essay. Do you have any idea on the number that applied and how many spots are open?

I have no idea with your class but with my class there was somewhere between 200-250 and 40 were accepted.

Took the TEAS and wrote the essay! Only waiting now... the worst part haha

Haha I think we saw some of y'all down the hall testing. My friend walked by and heard someone talking about what the essay was going to be like. Waiting was definitely the most nerve-wrecking part!

Haha yeah I was probably one of the people in the hall! I had on shorts and a light pink shirt lol. Is Blinn getting a new nursing building? I think I saw new buildings with "Fall 2011 nursing" on a sign as I was leaving =)

Yes, we are moving to the Texas A&M Health Science building in the fall. Sorry for the delayed response!

Can anyone tell me what the cut off GPA is for Blinn College to get into the nursing program? Let's say you do really well on the essay and get 85% on the TEAS, would you get in the program with a 3.0 GPA?

Hi I've been checking on this feed for awhile. Im applying for the Spring 2013 semester. I currently have a 3.1 gpa and wanted to know from some of the students who have already been accepted if this is a good gpa for the program and what would you consider a good TEAS score and what was the essay over.... Any help at this point would be greatly appreciated!!!!
