Columbus Tech LPN 2013

Published

Hey everyone! This is my first post to the site so bare with me :) I'm applying to the LPN program at Columbus Tech that starts this June. I'm hoping to maybe find others out there that are applying as well! I hope I get accepted! Good luck to all applying!

Well no lpn for me...I was 58 out of 46 and didnt get credit for a few things. But on the brighter side I am going to be perusing a Histology degree....Good to all of you and once again Congrats.

Can I just say I am a little frustrated with the selection process. I had a friend get in and I know for a fact my scores in every section was higher than this particular person. Granted I am happy for her and I'll just either do RN or histology but How does it make logical sense that if I scored higher than someone in everything I didn't get in and they did.....I really don't think your are ranked based on grades and scores.......JMO

I think you should definitely try to go for the RN. The competitive process is very frustrating...they look at so many things so its hard to know what they rank higher. Maybe your friend scored higher in one particular area and they found that very important? Just keep your head up and keep going, don't let this upset you. You will go far!

I'm sorry you didn't get in...but as the above poster said, don't let it stop you from accomplishing your goals. I didn't get into a program a few years back but just kept working towards my goal. It will happen, just keep trying and stay positive

Hello I was wondering if any of you ladies mind giving me any insight on the TEAS V exam Im scheduled to take it for Columbus Tech in a few weeks... I am getting different answers from different people... My advisor says they just really want you to take it. It's not the deciding factor on wether u get in or not.. I currently have all A's and 1 B in the required pre-reqs. Any information will be helpful.. Thanks!!!

Specializes in Pediatrics.

The TEAS is pretty basic, honestly.It's ALOT of science & math--& though I'm horrible in those 2 areas, I managed to do okay (71%-Proficient).There is a book out there called "Study Manual For The Test Of Essential Academics Skills (TEAS) Version V" that is made by the same ppl that came up with TEAS test.I would strongly suggest you get it to get a better idea of what kind of questions/answers they're looking for.I'm in the LPN program @ CTC now, & most of the ppl in our class made b/w the 60-90% range from what I've heard, so don't fret tooooo much about the percentage.Good luck with everything & feel free to message me if you have any questions! :)

Hey ReRob1985, I'm new to this website and added a topic on here but I haven't received any feedback. But came across this post and was wondering did you have any advice toward Columbus Tech Lpn program? Thanks!

Hi!! Yes I did if you see the comment above from MissPriss it's pretty much the same. I am not sure who's still instructing there now but there were 2 really good ones. The program is really compacted and fast paced. I took CNA, PHL, Health Science Asst., Mediciation Aide, all prior to getting accepted. Once the 2014 rolled around and I applied I began studying Pharm... and got advice from the other SPN's around the campus... while it wasn't easy but if you're confident about your placement I'd say start studying now and talking to students in the program now and obtain skills list anything that will benefit you!

Thanks a lot for replying that sounds like a great plan, also I recently just took the TEAS and made a 51 but have a 3.5 gpa and high compass score. What was a passing score to be accepted for the teas test or should I retake it?

Hey ReRob1985, if you don't mind me asking what was your TEAS Score when you were accepted? & Did the year of your class have an interview before being accepted into the program?

@NurseShante1 my TEAS overall score was 83.3... and my class was the first class where they stopped the interviews. They just went off our compass, teas, & gpa
