CONGRATS!! I'm nervous to join third semester. I'm in psych nursing so I feel that I have lost some skills over the years. We will push through! I can't wait to meet you ?

CONGRATS scorpiodez!

Did you ever get a confirmation that they received your TEAS score when you sent your score report?

I heard back today, actually, before the lvn-RN acceptance. I took my TEAS last year so I sent it the transcript from ATI

For all students who got into the RN program and who also made the alternate list, would you mind sharing your phase 1 and phase 2 scores please? I did not get in unfortunately (which I had expected), but I want to make some changes to hopefully increase my score for the year 2022 when the applications are being accepted again and I would just like to get an idea of the range I should be in? The counselors do gives us information but I would like hear for the students themselves. Thank you in advance and good luck to everyone who got in and to those who didn't, don't give up, its just not our time yet!

Hi @RNmoss As mentioned earlier, I got 60/75 on phase 1. I received points for having a bachelors, LVN license, 4.0 in sciences, 3.7 on remaining prereqs, and life experience. I do not have a military background and I don't speak a second language.

I'm not sure what your academic background is. I would confirm with a counselor to see if you are able to retake courses that you got a B or C in to improve the GPA. I've been going to school FOREVER and switched careers so for me personally, I retook my B courses from years ago so that I could replace them with A's, but I had to take them at another school district. For example, I got a C in psych in 2004 from Los Rios, a B in statistics from DVC, and a B in english from Sac State. I retook these courses at Sierra College, an outside school district. It should be easier now that everything is online.

Also with this time, I would try to get an associate's degree because that adds 5 points to the application. You can also try getting a CNA or MA license because that adds an extra 5 points. You can also try to take 4 semesters of a foreign language because that will add another 5 points.
