Gadsden State Community College RN Hopeful - Fall 2011

Published

Hi all,

New to the forum & just curious:

Anyone else out here applying to GSCC for the Fall 2011 ADN program? Or recent grads from GSCC that can give some "general" pointers?

I am applying for fall 2011 RN program. Have you taken the TEAS test yet? I'm wondering if my score was good or not. I do have it scheduled to retake it though just in case it wasn't good enough. Are you in school already at Gadsden State?

Yep....took it & hope that my score was high enough. I took it on March 4th, and considering that you have to wait 6 weeks to retake it....I cant. :( The last date to test is April 8th & that put me at 5 weeks.

I'm taking classes now. Are you?

yes i'm taking classes now. I'm retaking the TEAS next friday the 25th. My first score was a 69. If you don't mind telling me what did you score on it? If you don't want to share I understand. I am just curious what my chances are about getting in. I will have all my pre-requisites finished by the fall semester.

I made a 75. The science section SERIOUSLY hurt my score. I aced the other sections.:banghead:

I will have my pre-reqs finished this summer. All I have left are A&P II & Micro.

I have to take micro and my humanities this summer. Well maybe my 69 isn't as terrible as I thought. are you taking day classes or night classes?

Day class. My A&P is on T & TH. I'm taking Human Growth/Development & Speech online.

The 69 isnt bad at all....from what they've been saying about the scores. Hey, at least you have A&P II out of the way. That's extra points added to your composite! I wanted at LEAST an 80 on the TEAS. :(

PSY with Guffey & Speech is with Groben....or whatever his name is. :lol2:

What did you use to study for the TEAS?

Up Vote Up Vote ×

im taking guffey for psy too..we probably have same class. I bought the study manual but after taking the test the first time without it. The science is very over my head considering I haven't had life science since 9th grade, which was nearly 18 years ago....lol

Oh girl, you arent kidding about that science!! I truly think it's rigged because the ATI study manual may MENTION "something", but doesnt even TOUCH on half of the "somethings" that are on the test....or should I say, doesnt go in-depth about those "somethings" which makes answering correctly almost impossible. I used that manual & the McGraw-Hill Nursing Entrance Exams study guide (which I found to be of more help). I also feel that alot of the Science is just....crap. I mean, 70% of what's in the Science portion we should know...WHY? LOL! I did ALOT of research online regarding the Science portion of the TEAS & it seems that only a very small percentage actually score well on it. Oh well, it is what it is. I just pray that I get in!

Just logged onto Blackboard & if your last name is Wesson, then yep...we're in there together! :cool:

Also, I talked to Pam Mayo. She mentioned that they're taking 120 students into the program.
