I would say at number 5 you are golden! Unfortunately, I am number 28 but next semester I will have 73 and I might consider retaking the TEAS. I thought a 90.7 was good enough and now I'm kicking myself for not retaking it when everything was fresh in my mind.  Good luck, I'm sure you'll get in for 2024.

I applied last semester too and was waitlisted. I retook the TEAS and got 1% more LOL but it gave me one more point. You will get in next semester with 73! Good luck!

Hey guys! 1st semester here.
I think as long as you guys have 72 or more you'll get in! Obvs can't predict the future but based of the past the cut off will probably be 70-72 points for Fall 2024  

Can you share some study tips for the first semmester? Are exams more textbook based or lecture based?

Mostly lecture but for N111 you might have to use the textbook a bit.

N111: This is the class that teaches you about nursing as a profession, like an Intro to Nursing class. You will all have this class on Thursday. Pretty relaxed class overall, just pay attention in class and work on the objectives with a group near exams and you will be fine. You may need to use the textbook when filling in the objectives but if you do it in a group it's not too bad.


N113: The most time-consuming class, especially in the beginning. This is the lab class that teaches you how to do skills.  Everyone will have this class on Thursday + either Wednesday or Friday depending on your section. You will sometimes have pre-recorded lectures, sometimes not. Focus on objectives and red safety text in the clinical skills videos. Fill out the objectives using the clinical skill videos, pre-recorded lectures (if available), and lab guides. I would just go through all the content in each module besides the textbook readings and answer all the objectives thoroughly. It's a lot of info but if you do this and memorize it all you'll do great.
Skills Check-Offs - You will perform a skill in front of a prof, and they will grade you. 4 in the semester spread out. Practice doing the skills over and over and over. Use a teddy bear or something you can pretend is your patient when practicing. 

 

N112: This is the class that will teach you critical thinking and decision-making. You learned HOW to do stuff in N113, but this teaches you the WHEN and WHY. Everyone has this class on Monday. This starts off pretty easy for the first 2-3 weeks but just ramps up until it's the hardest. I wouldn't say it's the most time-consuming, but the tests are much more difficult than N111 and N113. N111 asks you to apply basic knowledge, sometimes just common sense. N113 is just a lot of memorization like Anatomy and Physio are. N112 is a lot of memorization but also a lot of critical thinking, putting puzzle pieces together, and applying what you learn in situations. Focus on objectives and note down everything objective relevant in the lecture. Ask lots of questions! "What would I do in X situation or when Y happens", etc. Do lots of practice questions! These will help you really connect everything together. Find any way you can to help yourself connect all the stuff you are learning so that when you get those NCLEX-style questions you can apply it in scenarios.

I got in! Waitlist number 18 with 71 points. For any future nursing applicant that is waitlisted near my number, It took almost one month after decisions came out for the admissions office to get to me. Best of luck to anyone still waiting.
