Has anyone taken teas test at Cerritos college?

i heared that there's another lottery after teas test; it's driving me crazy to wait the another letter from them....

I've already sent my teas score that i got in the past.... so i wonder if they gave u any new info after teas test.

i want to hear anything from anyone who took the teas at the Cerritos college. please let me know :)

Hello, guys !

i know it's so hard to wait to hear from them.

i talked to the nursing person through phone yesterday, and she told me to wait 2 more weeks....awwww. im so nervous!!!

Thanks Apgar for your input, we really need to know what we are getting ourselves into. Many schools do not care, if you don't pass the class they will just kick you out. I am glad Cerritos College is not like that, they actually stick through till the end with you.

Two more weeks...........I am counting.......and it seems like forever!!!

Hope to see you guys in class!! haha

At least we hear in two weeks. I also applied to Elac, March was application deadline, and I called the office and they said they won't be sending out the letter to take the TEAS till the end of June. OMG!! that's freaking long.........

I called them today at 4:30 and the secretary said they sent out letters on Tuesday May 25th. She asked for my last and first name and said I was #126. She said I probably won't get into the program in Fall, and I'm looking at alternate status for Spring '11. I'm sort of confused here because 175 were chosen to take the TEAS (1st lottery)out of the 426 that applied. 50 chosen for Fall and 50 for Spring= 100. If I'm 126 out of 175 shouldn't that still give me a chance to be an alternate for Fall, considering if 26 people don't accept because they're going to another school instead? She said most likely I will get in for spring but thats still a long time to wait! I really want to start working towards my nursing degree now! :cry: Can anyone help clarify or know of anything that can help me relieve my anxiety? I want to ask the secretary at cerritos more questions, but it always seems like they're trying to get you off the phone as quickly as possible, not really calming your nerves.

I wrote this in the other Cerritos thread so I'm adding it here just in case...

It would be pretty insane for half of the chosen students to decline entry! I was #76 and would have had to have that many decline for me to make the Fall '09 class. Instead there were only about 5 picked from no-shows/declines. In the Spring '10, somewhere between 10 and 15 were chosen at orientation, then as far as I know only one alternate was called the night before we started lectures. I think your chances of getting in for Spring '11 are way better than Fall. Fall is a favored term to start because it's "shorter" time to finish with only one summer interruption.

She said most likely I will get in for spring but thats still a long time to wait! I really want to start working towards my nursing degree now! :cry: Can anyone help clarify or know of anything that can help me relieve my anxiety?
Make sure you apply to other schools just in case. I applied three times each at Golden West and Saddleback before getting in here.

Keep in mind that she is the secretary for the entire health occupations program so she isn't just fielding questions from nursing students, but also PT aides, MAs, Pharm Techs, etc. She's told us many times she doesn't have a crystal ball to predict what "might happen" so what you know is her best guess.
