Goodwin Spring 2021

Nursing Students School Programs

Published

I wanted to make this for everyone applying this Spring! I attached the point guide to the post!


I just submitted my application and am waiting to sign up for my TEAS. What is everyone using to prepare? I have very bad test anxiety and horrible ADHD but have managed to make it this far with decent grades. What do you guys have for points? GPA’s? I’m really intimidated by the point system because I didn’t transfer in with 60+ credits! I read through some of the old posts for applicants and I’ve seen people being accepted with points as low as 15 so I’m crossing my fingers.

My advisor said the last two semesters had a cutoff of 15 points and the semester before those had a cutoff of 16 points, so 16 points may be promising! Good luck to you! Hopefully we all get in ? I know the wait until October is going to killll me now LOL

I know right LOL I made this thread thinking a lot more people would be commenting and what not! I'm still waiting to take my TEAS, have you taken it yet? What was your score? I'm getting really nervous LOL there's so much science I don't even know where to start. It's insane. I'm so overwhelmed.

LOL I’m so upset that no one is commenting LOL it makes me even more anxious waiting. You’re still waiting to take your TEAS? What day are you supposed to take it? I got an 84.7% on my TEAS. Science was literally the worst part of it ?

I’m taking it the 21’st, when I went to register for the TEAS test it says that people who have accommodations in school need to contact a specific person to schedule (because depending on your accommodations you can be allowed doubled the time so obviously that is going to be scheduled differently than the other exams)... so I spent a whole WEEK trying to get ahold of these people and FINALLY when I contacted someone she goes “oh yeah that person retired, we never updated the email on the registration site”. My advisor, the disability person at Goodwin and myself reached out and they said they would accept the 21st because it was out of my control. I provided screenshots and the disability advisor even had trouble getting in contact for other students! THEN THEY ONLY GAVE US TWO DAYS TO CHOOSE FROM! ONE BEING THE 21ST! The other one ended up filling up before I could register! It was a DISASTER.

Sorry that was like a ten year long reply I just have no one to talk to this stuff about and my family is sick of hearing it ? 

I have been hearing horror stories about the TEAS. I need an 80 to at least have 17 points. I’m really discouraged and not even expecting to get in this time around LOL I’m taking STAT167 so I can apply to Capital’s program just in case. My friend got in there with a 68 and a 3.8GPA and another one of my friends got in with a 70 and a lower GPA. I’m pretty sure they take Military into account as well, which I have under my belt. Whatever happens, happens!

Hey, I don’t mind hearing about it! You can vent to me about it LOL I know it’s frustrating. We’re both going through the anxiety of it. I remember how worried I was about the TEAS and it’s no joke. I was going to apply to northwestern too in the application time period if I don’t get in this time around. I think you’ll do good though! It’s be cool if we are in the same cohort together! Are you good at science or math?

I was going to say, I thought they stopped taking TEAS scores September 18th but it was their screw up so they’ll take yours right?!? I hope you get a good TEAS score! Even if you get 16 points, I think you’ll still get in!

I hope we are in the same cohort too! That would be awesome! And I’m like so stressed about it all of the time, it’s all I think about. I had to take Statistics this semester so I would be eligible to apply to Capitals program and that’s ruining my life while trying to study for this and then I’m taking Microbiology which is actually really enjoyable I’m looking forward to the semester because of that class. 

I’m generally good with science, I actually had to get a math tutor to prepare for this that’s how bad I am at math LOL it has a lot to do with my I’m bringing I wasn’t in one place for a very long time so I never had that foundation but joe I do and I’m much more comfortable with it all! What did you use to study science? I’ve been watching videos on each of the individual systems ?

I remember statistics ?? it’s really difficult. I don’t know how you’re taking stats and micro at the same time LOL who’s your micro professor? I’m taking micro too right now! 

Hopefully you get into the program though and don’t go to Capital! LOL the math on the TEAS wasn’t bad. It’s more so algebra and that area of it. For science, I know khan academy is a good reference but I used a Kaplan book to study for it

I have the Kaplan book, I’ve been using that for a bit. I bought the ATI package from their site and it’s trash I’m so mad I spent money on it! My professor is Steve Autieri! So far it’s good I’m taking it online since we just moved and I have a lot of stuff going on at home, I’m nervous to be online I miss the hands on in class aspect of things! Fingers crossed I do well on the TEAS! I’m excited to see who gets in! My GPA is good but I feel like that doesn’t even matter with the way this point system works ?

Sorry I’m responding late LOL! I fell asleep, I work a night shift so I’m up LOL I never bought the ATI package but I’m glad I didn’t now. I’m taking micro with heather wheeler! And I know, I feel like lab is much more difficult having to do it online and set everything up at home. I hope you do well on your TEAS! Let me know how it goes when you take it! I’m excited for them to send out acceptance letters already ?
