Grayson County College LVN peeps?

U.S.A. Texas

Curious who else is out there that is applying for LVN at Grayson? How'd you do on your TEAS? Anyone have any idea of what scores typically get in and is everyone else as anxious/nervous as I am? Feel free to introduce yourself and I hope to see you all in the fall :)

Perhaps some current Grayson LVN students can comment on what their TEAS V scores were and what to expect? :)

Thanks. I probably will go through them. Better safe than sorry. I was also wondering if you know of a good place to get a physical done. I don't have insurance. I don't even know how much a physical costs.

I *think* the Grayson Health Department does them. I would call and ask just to be sure. If they do I have no idea how much they cost. I have insurance through my husband's work so I just go to my doctor for one. If the health department doesn't do them, they might be able to tell you who can. Sorry I couldn't be more help on that one. :(

Thanks. Not a big deal. Was just wondering. Thinking ahead to try and keep from going crazy!

Anyone else getting antsy waiting for your letter?

Definitely. I an still wondering why they extended the deadline in the first place. I don't think they've ever done that before.

I'm thinking they must not have had enough passing scores with completed files to fill the program. I'm definetly bummed. I really wish they would have sent letters out to those with passing scores and completed files and then let everyone else compete for the spaces left. Lots of people have their lives on hold waiting for this :( I noticed there is a TEAS test today and tommorow at Grayson. So I am guessing we will be waiting another week or two :(

Anyone know what days/times clinicals will be or where they will be at?

That's what my husband thinks too. I am pretty bummed too, but I'm also kinda upset because orientation is usually mid-July so that will be pushed back as well which means that everything is being done last minute, which drives me crazy! :eek: ITA about sending out the letters to the people that got all their stuff in on time. It sucks that we have to wait because other people can't get their stuff together. OK, I'm off my rant now. Hopefully it won't take long to get the letters, I would assume if they had to extend the deadline then they have already weeded out those that have turned in all their stuff and put them in a pile so after Thursday comes they just have to sort through the rest of the applications and fill out the class and send letters. Theoretically that shouldn't take too long, right? :cool:

I know orientation was originally going to be the 12th but Tara said it was being moved back toward the end of July. It kinda works out for me because I was going to have to come home early from vacation and now I won't have to. It is a bummer that we will have less time to complete everything that needs to be done. I'll be in on vacation from July 6 to July 15 so I just know my letter is going to come while I am gone :( I agree, I think those that are serious got everything done by the June 10 deadline. I am doubting they will pickup that many more students from this, but who knows. I agree I think they've already sorted and likely have "yes", "no" and "maybe" piles so hopefully it won't take long. Keeping my fingers crossed for us! I just want to know one way or another and I really want to know what our schedule is going to be like. I have 4 kids and I need to make after school arrangement for them.

Um, IDK about the class schedule. I looked on Campus Connect under course availability and it looks like the lecture classes will be M-W but there are no days or times listed for clinicals. I can only assume they will be on Thursdays & Fridays the first semester. They told us in orientation last year that clinicals wouldn't start til October. If I remember correctly the times for last year were either 6-2or3ish and/or 10-8ish. The clinical sites they had last year were in Sherman, Denison, and Durant. They said they would try their best to put people in clinical sites that were close to home, but there weren't any guarantees. I don't think they said anything about choosing the clinical time, but I've slept since then. I have no idea if this will be the same as last year, but it might give you a rough idea. I know that it doesn't help make concrete plans, but I guess it's a start.

That does help a bit. I noticed classes being Mon-Wed too. Do you know what the hours are for lecture days? I am glad to hear Sherman and Denison were used. I heard that one year clinicals were in Plano and Durant. I'm in Van Alstyne so both are fairly far for me. I'm just ready for orientation. I was so relieved when June 10th came and then the extension email just killed me. I've been planning for this since November and it seems to keep dragging on...

I know. I was so disappointed when I got that email. I was like what? whyyyyy? *insert whiny voice here* :o I can't really tell from the class schedule, but last year they said to plan to be at the college from about 8-8:30 til about 4 on lecture days. The class schedule this year says the classes start at 9:30 so I have no idea on that one. I figure they will clarify at orientation. I am just ready to see a letter in the mail. I have been planning this for almost as long as you have. I sent my application in January. After not being able to go last year, I was not even sure that I was going to take the TEAS to try again. Now I just wish that I knew one way or the other if I need to make different plans for the Fall.
