Loewenberg School of nursing- university of memphis

[koster22]

I am applying to the University of Memphis Loewenberg School of Nursing for the spring of 2011. Right now I am taking some pre-requisite courses and by the time I send in my application I will have a GPA of 3.1. The required GPA needed to apply is a 2.7 cumalative. Does anyone who is attending or has applied know what GPA a person needs to be competitive or be pretty sure they will be accepted into the program. I'm very nervous about getting in.

FINALLY will be able to turn in my health status packet-just got CPR certificate! Doen't matter I guess, I won't be able to pick my days and times for classes!lol I hope it is not a varied schedule like one day in the morning and the next-late afternoon,etc. Has anyone gotten a schedule yet and have you heard that clinicals will be every other week?

Help! If I transfer in the Fall there are about 4 classes that I'd need to take at Memphis because Union doesn't require those classes (Nutrition, College Algebra etc...). Would I be able to start nursing school in the Spring (assuming I get accepted) or is that only an accelerated program?

I applied to U of M's accelerated nursing program for fall 2011. Does anyone know when they send out acceptance/ rejection letters?

A friend of mine that got in last semester said it took around 2- 2 1/2 weeks to get in. I'm waiting (impatiently) over here for my Fall acceptance, too. What does your GPA and TEAS look like? I've got a 3.4 with a 4.0 in my pre-req sciences. I got an 87 on my TEAS.

Got my letter on Friday! I got accepted, have you heard yet?

[hayleyh31]

Yup, got my letter on Thursday! I go for my physical tomorrow and CPR class is Sunday afternoon! After that, I'm all set to turn in my packet!

Hey guys! I am applying to LSON for the spring 2012 semester! What was some if you guys' GPA getting in the program? And is the teas test computer or pencil/paper?

[sailor0811]

I had a 3.2 GPA and my pre-reqs a 4.0 but i didnt do so well on my TEAS test. its a computer test that you schedule to take. study a little bit before hand if you havent taken any high school math or english in bit

[hayleyh31]

I had a 3.5 overall GPA, 3.6 Science and an 87% on the TEAS. I agree with the PP that if you haven't had any high school science or math recently, you need to study for the TEAS.

Anyone gotten their scrubs and/or supplies for the Fall yet? How many pair of scrubs is everyone starting off with. I think I will start with two initially. Hope everyone's Summer is going great!
