CSN RN Spr 2012 applicants When Are You Turning In Your Packets?

Krinkles12 · Oct 27, 2011

I talked to the lady in limited entry again yesterday and she said alternates are picked randomly by your points. So if the cut off was 29 for part time ppl, with 28 will have the spot if it opens but will pick randomly for ppl with 28 points and say all the 28 pointers get in they will move down to ppl with 27 and mix those open randomly as well. So they still go by point ranking in a way...make sense?

krinkles did u get a call...iguess we have to wait for spots if someone doesnt show up for orientation

Krinkles12 · Oct 28, 2011

Naalaakkumon...yes I did get a call on the 19 th the same day as accepted students but she told me I was a alternate for the part time, so I still have to go to all the orientations. When I got my packet on Monday she didn't tell me exactly how high up i am as a alternate but she said it looked very promising for me...

looks like you are on top of the list..my mistake i didnt ask for my rank.... owell....goodluck to us...if i am on last list i might not go to the orientation... krinkles, gracious i want this badly but am just gonna retake my teas and pscy just to earn pts hopefully..question? if i fail my retake teas, would they still accept the previous teas test that i passed..i heard tras v is hard,,....

Krinkles12 · Oct 28, 2011

I know everyone has worked really hard to get to this point, it took me 2 1/2 yes, and it's still 50/50.. But no matter how many times you take your teas they will take your highest, as long as you pass all four sections it doesn't matter if you take it again in 3 months and fail half of it. Question, you apply to part time? How many points did u have? And did they call you last week? Good luck to you tho, I know I was in tears when I heard I was a alternate, just trying to look at the bright side of things. Also teas version 5 is way harder, so study your butt off, especially the reading and english section. When I first took it last summer under version 3 I passed all parts but only earned 1 point. Retook it this summer before applying to nursing and failed reading and English I'm scheduled to retake it on November 19 just in case this alternate thing doesn't workout. And do you know what the point cutoffs were, they didn't seem to be 100% sure when I asked...

I've no idea what the cutoffs would be.

naalaakkumon · Oct 28, 2011

naalaakkumon · Nov 1, 2011

Not here...you think somebody will not show up....where is I bldg for the orientation

nurse1daysoon · Nov 1, 2011

I'm soooo excited too! I just want to fast forward to friday.... I think there will probably be some people that wont show. And maybe they haven't called any alternates for the people who declined Because they're waiting to see what alternate is going to show up for orientation....JMO

Building I is the library building. Last semester it was the K building, for those who were there before. They changed the location of it.
