Wow, they know how to kill you with anticipation. I took my TEAS in January and did well enough, that I should be accepted into the LPN program for this Fall. However, until I have that acceptance letter in my hand, I will hold my breath.
The deadline to have everything completed and turned in was Feb. 26. They claim that it takes 4-6 weeks for them to begin processing letters, but I noticed that there was a thread here last year, and everyone received their letters around the 20th of March.
Soooooo....here's to running to the mailbox every day, and coming back empty handed.
Anyone else blown away by the medical paperwork? That's a lot of information they're requiring, and I'm not sure why. I can see the immunization records, even though I supplied those to be in the CNAI & II programs, but why do they need me to have a mammary and pelvic exam? I mean...if I have breast cancer, are they kicking me out? (that was a rhetorical question, by the way). In other words, sure, check me for Tb and anything that may harm another person, but why do they need to know something that would be personal under any other circumstances?
It goes by your grades in each class and the credits for those classes. The MAR packet explains it in detail, but basically an A =4 B=3 C=2...etc. You multiply that by the credit hours. So if you have a class with 3 credit hours, and receive an A in that class, it's worth 12 points. The MAR packet lists the classes that qualify for the points...BIO PSY, etc. You total the points for the classes and then add your TEAS. This will give you your overall points.

Yes, I was confused by some of the immunizations myself. I've had my physical done recently. My primary doctor examined my breast for any lumps. I believe that's normal procedure for a physical examination. I didn't see anything about a pelvic exam but my primary asked if I wanted one done with my physical. I totally understand. I questioned something's myself.
On the back page, there is a list for "Are there any abnormalities?".
Under that list is genitourinary. That is a pelvic exam. =( I have mine scheduled today, but had just had one a little over a year ago. New rules are...if you get an all clear for a few years in a row, they allow you to go three years between exams. I was SOOO happy about that. LOL!
I'm just curious why they are requiring this for school. And what would they do if there WERE abnormalities?
OK, I was confused I tried looking them up using the code also but no luck..I've looked them up on different sites and everyone prices are only differing by a couple of dollars. So I'll be waiting for the bookstore myself
