   you dont get to choose. the professors are reasonable about where you have to travel, but once you are assigned that is what you get.

2. Westchester Community College FALL 2010 RN PROGRAM

   wccnursingperson replied to nickynoodles's topic in New York

   ive gone to osbourne, northern westchester and phelps. you don't really have a choice, but they factor circumstances in if you live 5 minutes from 1 and an hour from another. the professors are reasonable, but once they make a decision thats where yo...

3. Westchester Community College FALL 2010 RN PROGRAM

   wccnursingperson replied to nickynoodles's topic in New York

   i messed up. everyone spends the first four weeks of semester 1 at osbourne in rye. (we did CNA stuff for nursing home people- informative but not enjoyable, unless you like feeding, diaper changing, etcetera). then you go do acute med-surg at 1 hosp...

4. Westchester Community College FALL 2010 RN PROGRAM

   wccnursingperson replied to nickynoodles's topic in New York

   i'm in the day program. clinicals are at one hospital for semesters 1,3,4. they are at two hospitals in semester 2 because you split the semester between psych and maternity. the only hospitals I have seen people go to so far are in rye (osbourne), w...

5. Westchester Community College FALL 2010 RN PROGRAM

   wccnursingperson replied to nickynoodles's topic in New York

   "the short version of my previous post." the TEAS score and the percentile are separate. I doubt anyone got a 96 on the TEAS, and if they did they would be the number 1 student accepted to the program. Scoring a 90 on the TEAS puts you in the 98th pe...

6. Westchester Community College FALL 2010 RN PROGRAM

   wccnursingperson replied to nickynoodles's topic in New York

   I'm halfway through the WCC Nursing program. I think the confusion here is between the TEAS score and the national percentile. I scored around 91 and my percentile was 98/99. To get in the program you need at least an 83 for night and 85 for day prog...

7. Westchester community college admissions

   wccnursingperson replied to cecil212's topic in New York

   I got my interview letter on saturday. My TEAS score was a 91.2. I know of one other person from my A&P class who got a letter, she scored an 89.5. I'm not sure what the cut-off is this year, but with the economy the way it is, and lots of people...

8. Westchester Community College-Applying for Fall 09

   wccnursingperson replied to TryingNot2BeScared's topic in New York

   WCC nursing program. are you prepared to get top 50 out of 1000? WCC is the top program around the NYC area. I wish everyone the best, but if you are not close to the duchess program, then WCC might be a reach for you. then again, what do I know? app...

9. TEAS Exam

   wccnursingperson replied to HULIYO's topic in Pre-Nursing

   i agree. the TEAS asked virtually nothing from my pre-reqs. as to the last paragraph from the last post, not to sound rude, but how do you graduate high school without at least 3 years of science? i know that physics is sometimes optional, but no bio...

10. TEAS Exam

    wccnursingperson replied to HULIYO's topic in Pre-Nursing

    i forgot to add, if you have the time, check out a site like "regentsprep.org". it's free and it goes over all the material for the NYS regents tests (science, math, english) which covers pretty much everything the TEAS asks for. it's not something y...

11. TEAS Exam

    wccnursingperson replied to HULIYO's topic in Pre-Nursing

    if you know someone good at math/ science or can afford to pay a tutor fow a few sessions, you should have someone knowledgable go over the review books with you. you will learn the material 10x as fast. i'm not sure what everyone is saying about get...

12. Need help for studying for TEAS Science section

    wccnursingperson posted a topic in Pre-Nursing

    Hi! I am taking the TEAS test in 3 weeks. I'm pretty well versed on the math and reading sections. I've been studying for the science section, but the questions seem pretty random and it is hard to find study guides for the science section besides li...
