I am new to the site and will be applying to CSN's RN program in March. I wanted to start a thread and see who will be applying with me and how things are coming along for everyone. :) I have all pre-reqs completed with a pre-req GPA of 3.58. I took the TEAS about a month ago and I passed, but wasn't thrilled with my score, particularly in science. I got an adjusted individual total score of 74.7%. Reading: 92.9%, Math 70%, Science 60.4%, and English & Language Usage: 76.7%. I barely passed the science portion and have signed up to take the TEAS one more time in February. With my current TEAS score, I have a total of 29 points for my application. I'm really hoping to get a better score and another point or two from the second TEAS!
Please let me know if you'll be applying in this cycle. I'd love to exchange advice and information and just connect with *hopefully* some future classmates! :)
I'm interested to know more about online classes too. I've always really liked them in the past and they work for me because I check in every day and I'm super organized but some of my friends have hated them so I'm curious to hear how online classes are in the nursing program. I don't really have a choice because I work full-time and I'm saving up my PTO to take off when I need to but I can't take off a full day every week for classes that could be taken online.
I've been ok with the wait until now, but for some reason my anxiety level has peaked and now it does really feel like torture. It would be nice to have closure of some sort so we can move on and plan for our summer and beyond.
If I can give you one piece of advise it would be to STO STRESSING THIS SECOND... You will have PLENTY of it once you start the program so just RELAX and enjoy your life because once first semester starts it is officially OVER. I know you are thinking "that won't be me... I get straight A's without even trying"... but take it from someone with a 4.0-without-studying student that the RN program is like nothing you have experienced before. It's intense but TOTALLY worth it :) GOOD LUCK EVERYONE! Hope to see you May 11!
