Hi everyone! This might be soon but I was wondering if anyone was gearing up to apply to the fall 2017 nursing program. I wanted to know what classes everyone has left and maybe we can study for the teas together! We can also boost each other up to make sure we all can get in! Good luck! Can't wait to hear from everyone!

Hi Weiny!
In your second semester you will be required to purchase software and additional ATI packages. Since Chris is working on getting the price down for us, I don't have an exact number yet. This is not included in the ~$4000 for the first semester. Also, you will need to budget for a second TB shot for your 3rd semester since TBs are only valid for 1 year. And you will need to purchase another background check to make sure you didn't kill anyone during your first year of school
Hi Knhemeon1!
I believe Walk is applying for the same semester you are. But to answer your questions:
1. toughest semester so far?
I am only finished with my first semester so I do not have experience from the others. It is my understanding from people in the semesters ahead of me that the first semester is the "hardest" because it's all concepts and theories. It will get more technical in the second semester and on.
2. How are clinicals if you have had them?
Clinicals are amazing. You will have them after your 1st month. I had my clinicals at Gulf Coast Hospital. My next rotation is at Cape.
3. What was your gpa/ teas score upon acceptance?
Teas 80 GPA 3.09 All prereqs finished prior to applying.
The main focus for the Teas is Math. Science is easier to teach along the way over anything else that you would have to learn. If you are scoring 90%+ in that, you should be good to go.
