Calhoun Community College 2016

ScoutAL · Feb 8, 2016

Bring914 - There were a few people at orientation that had not taken the TEAS. (I took it last summer.) The advisors did tell everyone that the exams fill up quick just before the application deadline and that if you are going to take it, then you need to sign up as soon as possible. The recommended book was my only study guide (and I hadn't taken Microbiology or A&P). I did fairly well.

The orientation went over pretty much all the info from the FAQ on the Calhoun website as well as the details of the nursing application packet. The Dean of Sciences gave the Feb 3 orientation and he stated that nearly 1,000 students apply every spring. He didn't give any specifics for cuts off or how many seats they have this fall but did say that the part-time evening program averages about 35 seats. The day time program does have more, I believe around 100. He did state that 200 points and over shouldn't have a hard time getting in.

Thanks for the info! I'm already sign up to take the TEAS on the 29th. I'm sorta nervous, but have been averaging around a 150ish on my practice exams, so that makes me feel better. I can't imagine widdling 1,000 applications down to lass than 150. That's intense.

How's everyones semester going? Anyone turn in their application yet?

Going well...in the midst of this 8 week micro class. Not nearly as bad as I though it'd be. Haven't started my app yet. I'll be at the info session on the 23rd...

i'm still kicking myself for not thinking of doing a minimester. I'm planning to start working on my app after I take my TEAS in two weeks.

Hello,

I'm applying for the ADN Part-time program. I just thought I would introduce myself. I have taken the TEAS-V. I am just waiting on all of my transcripts to come in so I can complete my application. I have not been to an info session yet but I plan to next week. Good luck to everyone!

Welcome Leahbekah! How did you do on the TEAS? I'm also applying for the part-time program. I take the TEAS in less than two weeks. Definitely the most stressful part of this semester for sure.

I just took the TEAS this past Monday. I made a 96 on math and a 79 on science. I was pretty stressed out about it too. I used the ATI study guide. I did terrible on practice test but better on actual test.

Awesome job! Wish there was a way to recognize everyone at the info session. I'll be at the one on the 23rd as well.

BRing914 · Feb 18, 2016

That's an awesome score! I hope I can do as well. I'm not going to get to go to a session until next month. If anyone is going to be at the March 10th session let me know. I'll try and make sure we meet up in real life.

I'm not sure which one I am going to. I may try and go to the session on the 23rd.
