Hi! I'm applying for CPCC Fall 2015 in December and was wondering if there was anyone else? I'd be great to compare stats and status.
I'll start out. I'm a 32 yr old, mom of two, going back to school after 15 years. I started my pre-reqs over the summer semester of 2014. So far I've completed:
General Chemistry I
English 111
English 114
College Algebra
General Psychology
Anatomy and Physiology I (in progress)
Nurse Aide I course (in progress)
Spring 2015:
Anatomy and Physiology II
Microbiology
Humanities I
Sociology
Yoga (gotta have balance)
As far as the TEAS goes, I've only taken the practice test online and have a 93% in math, 83% in reading, 80% english, and a 45% (!!!) in science. I have a lot of studying to do before I take it on December 4th. I'm quite surprised with my scores, as I read a lot (a few books a week) and hate math. haha. I'm hoping a good breakfast and some studying will get me to the over all scores I need.
Once I have my NAI certification (hoping to test mid December) I'll be able to turn in my application.
I wonder, does anyone have any tips on how to make my application stand out? I would love to hand deliver it, or something of the like, just so they could put a face to a name. I am very driven and completely ready for the challenge of nursing school but I just don't know how to convey that on an application.
Hey! I was just wondering if you applied & if so if you had heard anything? I know that cpcc wants your math & reading TEAS & then your adjusted TEAS score (I think it is 74 or 75 minimum). So even though your science is lower the other higher scores should help. Im 37 & going back to school & some of those science questions were earth science which I took in 8th grade like 1000 years ago! Good luck!!!

I did apply and get accepted. Yes, the science portion is tricky only because it does cover a huge amount of related topics. If you do a somewhat decent job, it should not affect your score too much.
I'm getting really excited to get the ball rolling. Are any of you starting to get supplies? I am looking into purchasing a stethoscope soon. I'll probably ask at orientation what is required but have any of you gotten any other things for school? I've heard a rolling backpack can be very useful.
Sorry, my name is Adrienne. I haven't purchased anything yet. Since orientation is so close, I will just wait for that. My coworker is in her first semester there so I will also ask her what she purchased. I probably won't get supplies till this summer though. Right now I'm 7 months pregnant and lazy. Lol.
