Collin College ADN Spring 2016

U.S.A. Texas

Published

Hello everyone. I have been searching for a Collin College Nursing applicants for spring 2016 thread for weeks and I have not seen one so I figured I would start one my self: ) I will be turning in my application for the program this week and I wanted to share my story. I made A's in all my sciences. I made an A in English and a B in humanities, general psychology and life span psychology. I made a 6 on the PSB as well. I will be applying with 27 points because of the 3 B's I made in humanities and the psychology classes. Because I will only be applying with 27 points I am apprehensive about getting in. I have worked so hard and come so far for this moment, I will just have to give it to God. I've only taken my sciences once, which is good according to the nursing department as they are really factoring acceptance into the program based on taking your sciences once (they told me studies show those who take their sciences once and get an A the first time tend to do better in the program). However, I hope it's enough. I have children, I work full time and it took everything in me to get A's in my sciences and a 6 on the PSB. On the old point system I would be applying with 16 points (I know I need to get over it). I have been following the allnurses site for about a year and a half and I have had the opportunity to share in many wonderful experiences. Most of you that have posted had 4.0's and I've seen the joy you express when you get that acceptance and I am so happy for you all. I hope there is someone out there that applied and got in with similar applying factors and if so, wouldn't mind posting. I'd love to hear from anyone who will be applying or has applied for the Spring 2016 start and what your stats look like. Please do share. Best wishes to you all.

That's ok, keep hope alive :) I hope you get in. Keep me posted.

Thank you I will! I really hope I do this has been my dream it took me so long to get to this point to even apply with kids it does change things they are still young 4 year old 3 year old and an 11month old, so Im just praying!

How much reading do you read week? I am trying to take as many classes to help me prepare for nursing school even though they are not required (medical terminology classes, pathophysiology & pharmacology classes, refreshing on my A&P 1 and 2 as well as nutrition). Is the information you learn/taught go into extreme depth (an example from A&P 2- how the Golgi apparatus moves in a NK cell to become activated)?
