Gordon Nursing Program Spring 2011

U.S.A. Georgia

Published

Hello everyone!

I am applying to Gordon College's nursing program for the spring. I was accepted to the program for the fall semester but had to decline because I did not think that I could finish my A&P2 and micro classes this summer. My gpa dropped a little since I was accepted and I was wondering if any previously accepted students could help me determine my chances for getting in for the spring. I am taking A&P2 and microbiology this fall to satisfy the rest of my core. My gpa is a 3.26 and I got an 83.5 on my TEAS. Do you think that those scores will be good enough? When I got in for fall I had a 3.36 gpa and the same score on my TEAS, so theyre not that much different. This is the only program that I am applying for so I'm just hoping that I get in. If anyone can help me figure out my chances, I would greatly appreciate it! Thanks :)

Does anyone know when the insurance is going to open up, I do not like seeing almost 600 bucks added to my account in banner web. I have decent insurance, and want to get waiver for it.

Hey Dixie, I called last Wednesday and they said that there are no student coming off the wait list. She also said if the accepted students fail to come to the mandatory meetings in January then they will drop them and fill the seat with students from the wait list. But that won't be until January. I've already started getting my application package ready to be sent off for Fall semester...

Taking the TEAS next week. I know the application states that a passing grade of "67" is required to get in. I am applying for the Fall of 2011. Can anyone tell me where my score really needs to be in order to be competitve? And, if you score above a 67, do they accept the highest grades of the TEAS, or does acceptance then go off your GPA?

A competitive TEAS score in my opinion would be somewhere in the 70's. I know they score you on a three number scale system which includes your overall GPA your TEAS score and your nursing core classes GPA. Hope this helps:)

They weigh you on a points system, if you just make a 67 on the TEAS test, BUT you have a good GPA of like I dunno a 3.5 or something then you make those points back up, or if you have experience in a clinical setting you can make points back up there to.

I scored in the mid 80's, but I know a girl who made a 68 and is starting in January with me.
