Golden West College ADN Fall 2021

Updated:   Published

Hi all! I wanted to start a new thread for those of us who are planning to apply for GWC ADN Program for Fall 2021. I thought we could post any questions, help, or updates. 

I will be applying with either 82 or 87 points depending on my TEAS score. Right now I'm hovering in the mid 80s for practice exams, but hoping I can still land in the 90s. 

It looks like last semester was really competitive so it's making me nervous. 

I have 97 points . I’m applying to San Diego college , Miracosta , and Golden West I just applied. I also applied to a few schools in Northern California. Also ,  I have a B. S in healthcare.  My TEAS score is 80. Wishing everyone the best.

How did you end up with 97 points? Don’t you miss 5 points for having an 80% TEAS score, so the maximum would be 95 points?

@heartmurmur I'm a treatment care coordinator for an outpatient surgery center. My job duties are all over the map, but definitely include transporting patients in a wheelchair, calling in meds, explain/answer questions about their surgery... I have also worked in pharmacy and have my pharmacy license, but I don't think they accept that.

I have volunteer experience too, but its "too old". Which is sad. I guess all memories get deleted from our mind after 3 years ?

I'm thinking they may give me 5 points for work experience... making my point total 76. 

Ugh all this waiting is so gut wrenching.

I’m a dialysis tech. My job includes monitoring vitals, initiate and terminate treatment, calculate fluids, administering meds, ambulation, etc. I had my boss write that my job is direct patient care and all the examples of it. So hopefully I get the full 10 points.

I have a BS degree , 80.6% in TEAS , I also completed the math and critical thinking.   The computer added the points for me on the application so I’m not sure.  I also have work experience in healthcare .

It gave you an extra 10 points for the bio classes: the maximum is 35 based on the multi criteria guidelines (assuming you had a 4.0)

Does anyone know if an EKG monitor technician certification counts? I feel like 79 would most likely put me as an alternate and five more points could make a difference. I just want to make sure I don't waste my time or money.

I believe it would but I would reach out to the nursing department.

@seven-upI would email the department and check, but I think it does, since it may involve patient care as you are monitoring their EKG. I would list it as "other relevant certifications or licenses."

I just received my TEAS score. 90.7%. I'm ecstatic and that puts my points at 87. Good luck everyone!
