Fall 2016 Wake Tech Applicants

I believe I've seen a few blue scrubs there before. I got my lab coat for my Micro class there; so I wouldn't be surprised.

Yes it is at the health Science book store. They have samples for you to try on too.

Hi Mrslaflin, welcome! What changes are you referring to concerning the TEAS? You mentioned the TEAS would be changing at the end of this month. I know there was a change in points between this cycle and last cycle. Last cycle students received 50 points if they scored a 71 or above, this cycle the TEAS points are broken down differently (as mentioned by Jpeters247). Will you be taking your CNA class at Wake Tech?

Hey Girlie! Those changes she's referring to with regards to the Teas I'd assume would be that students can NOW use calculators :sarcastic:

Jpeters247 What are the three Bio? I thought it was two psychology and micro and nutrition. What is the third one?

PirateRN_919, BSN · Aug 10, 2016

gotgifts3, Bio 247 is pathophysiology which Wake Tech does not require anymore as a nursing prerequisite.

EmilyNicole91, did you get a flu shot already for the program or are they making you guys wait until closer toward the fall? Is your flu shot due by 10/1?

EmilyNicole91 · Aug 18, 2016

Hey guys!

So it was my first day of nursing school! I was 15 mins late due to underestimating how bad traffic would be :/ but other people were late too. The first thing we did was a medication calculation pre-test. After that it was like any other orientation. I'm still kind of confused about the scheduling but they said in a couple off weeks we will get into a groove. I am very excited about the program though. Wake tech has an awesome lab that not a lot of schools do. The manikins are very high tech they are like real patients. We won't be using those just yet but it's exciting. Also you can tell the instructors really want you to succeed. Everyone about to graduate in December all have jobs at wake med already! It's a great program it seems and I am excited to be apart of it. I can't for yall to get yalls acceptance letters as well!

CN_2bRN919 I did not get my flu shot yet and I am not sure when I suppose to get it by yet. I'm sure I'll know soon. But I work in a pharmacy and we are just now getting in the flu shots. As I'm sure you know it changes every "flu season" so you have to have the current one.

EmilyNicole91, so glad that you had a great first day! I hope your semester goes well! Keep us updated! I recently got my flu shot at a pharmacy. I was told by Ms. Smith that they require students to get their shot between 9/1-9/30. Since my shot was for this flu season (I just got it early) the program would accept it if I was admitted for spring 2017. When is your first clinical day?

PirateRN_919, BSN · Aug 18, 2016

EmilyNicole91, what is the medication calculation pretest like? Do you think it was a little easier for you since you work in a pharmacy?

EmilyNicole91 · Aug 18, 2016

Next Thursday I believe. I know I've been assigned to wake med. Working in a pharmacy definitely helped me. For some reason I thought they would give you the conversions ( like 30 ml = 1 Oz, 1 teaspoon = 5ml) but they didn't. You have to know that. Luckily I knew all of the ones on there bc I do stuff like that at work. I didn't find it to be hard. I will definitely keep in touch as the semester goes on!

I currently have 157 points before taking my teas test so hopefully that puts me in a good position for getting accepted.
