Hello! I am a 2017 fall nursing program hopeful. I did not see a forum started or this semester and was hoping to start one . Here we can ask each other questions and encourage one another along the way.
Hi everyone! I also applied to the Fall ASN Program and waiting to hear back! I am feeling a little discouraged because I only have 208.3 points for admissions. After taking the TEAS multiple times, my highest score was a 73.3%. I made all A's and B's in everything else. I am praying that I have enough admissions points to get into the program but it isn't looking too great for me.
Hi. I applied to the ASN program as well. I took a CLEP test for sociology and they're going back and forth over whether they're gonna give me what I made on the CLEP (93) or C points. Which makes no sense to me. Not they're saying I should get C points for completing the CLEP test and not taking the class! all my other grades are all As and a 89.9 on TEAS. if they give me an A on the CLEP class then I'm at 249. Without it I am at 234. I haven't had the opportunity to take micro yet. So that's counting against me. I got into another program but my husband and I had to move for his job. I'm a total wreck!
I can send you what we have been using but just keep in mind there are several new teachers so the books are subject to change.
Fundamentals- Taylor's Fundamentals of Nursing 8th edition
Med/Surg- Brunner and Suddarth's medical surgical nursing 13th edition

Hey everyone! My name is Alexis, and I'm currently in CTC's nursing program. So glad you found your way to the forums and I would love to help as much as I can! Here is a link to the points page for anyone who needs to know how many points they have http://www.chattahoocheetech.edu/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/AssociateofScienceinNursingAdmissionPointsFall2017.pdf
I had 296 points and was accepted. Our acceptance letters came around June 25th and it was the longest wait ever!
Around the middle of June, rejection letters went out. But don't be discouraged just yet if you get one. Seats may become available later when people start having to pick a program or cannot accept their seat. There is a girl in our current class who had 241 points and received a rejection letter at first and then was accepted later when seats opened up, so there is hope!
If you have any questions, feel free to post and I will do my best to answer as soon as I can!
