KBCC Spring 2021 KINGSBOROUGH COMMUNITY COLLEGE

Published

I recently transferred to KBCC and will be taking the TEAS exam in December. I'm registered to take Microbiology and Applied Physical Sciences for Allied Health Careers this fall. I'd like to connect with others who are on the same path this semester with the intention to form a support/study group. Present students are welcome also.

Hey ya’ll, does anyone know if we are required to get the new V a c c I n e for the program? 

I don't think so because even in the hospitals, it's the workers choice to get it (my cousin works at nyu langone and chose to get it, some of her coworkers did not). It's all choice and I don't even think students are eligible to take it yet

Thanks! I was curious since clinical is in a nursing home. I hope it is optional; Im a little nervous about it to be honest. It's so new. I have relatives who work for NY Presbyterian and they are required. But I know people at LIJH and they have the option.

Hey everyone! Is there a cutoff number for the TEAS every semester? I know you need at least a 60 in every section but I was reading other threads and one year they didn't take any scores under a 65,,,,just curious

Hey all, just wanted to say, make sure you go to ATI and "SHARE RESULTS" with the school. Apparently my TEAS transcript did not make it to the office! They were kind enough to let me know. I was under the impression it would be send automatically to the institution listed on my ATI account. But you must share your transcripts and pay for it too. Please double check. I did not see that written in the instructions given by the school from the head of the science department. You can imagine my chagrin to find out! I am a planner; I hate being unprepared. I was told this is the first time the testing situation hasn't been on campus, when they'd usually pull exam scores directly. Im not sure where this miscommunication occurred, but please double check you have sent the results to the school.

Thanks for sharing! Did you get an email after your exam with like a receipt saying it was sent to the school?

Also did they call you or send you an email?

They called me to inform me. I just has no idea. That wasnt in the email instructions from the head of the science department.. Dr. B.S. I did find the “Share Results” option this morning. After completing the share, I received a receipt via email to confirm it.

@BordeauxMama you don't have to pay its free.  They ask you that would like to send a free transcript to the school before you pay for the TEAS exam.  If the exam was given at KBCC then it would automatically send to the school. That's was nice of them to inform you.

Yes, it was a nice courtesy. I don't remember that prompt for the free transcript. I just paid it today to get it over with. I would’ve been devastated if Id been rejected over it. Phew!

I received a call from the nursing department  on Monday asking if whether I had submitted an application. Apparently they received my scores and were trying to locate the application. I did receive the email from ATI after I completed the exam. I’m hoping that all go’s well with that process. This seems to be the first semester with the proctored exam.  It was a relief to receive my scores immediately.
