PHSC 2015 Nursing Hopefuls

Published

Hey everyone!

I found one topic on this, but it wasn't very active, so I hope this one becomes a little more successful. My name is Jennifer, and I am applying for the January 2015 Nursing Program at PHSC. My home campus is Porter at Wiregrass Ranch. Are there any other 2015 hopefuls? I'd like to get to know you all! I am taking my TEAS next Tuesday and am so nervous. This will be my first time taking the TEAS. Have any of you taken it? How was it?

Any tips? I have finished all me pre-reqs and finished with a 3.6. Not too bad, wish I would have got higher! Hope I get in! Good luck to all you ladies!

Thanks!

Hello,

I am going to apply for RN program. I go the the West campus. I just took the TEAS test last week and did not do great. I scored a 64.7. I took the test blind so I can get an idea what I need to work on. I will be taking it one more time before I put my application in. I borrowed a TEAS study book from a friend that coinsides with the test. My pre-req GPA is only a 3.2 so I am hoping if I score higher on the TEAS I will have a better chance. Good luck when you take yours.

Hey Sharona918!

I am also applying for the RN program. My home campus is Porter at Wiregrass, but I wouldn't mind going to the West Campus, being that it is the same distance. Maybe i'll see you there! I'd be willing to take either location if I were to get in. I've been studying a little bit, but I'm basically taking it this coming Tuesday so I am also able to gauge where I am at and what I need to work on. If I don't do good this time, I will also take it one more time before I apply. I really hope to find more hopefuls applying for 2015.

Good luck in everything!

I applied for the 2014-2015 fall program for both RN and LPN but i was accepted into the LPN for fall 2014. My stats for the teas was a 72 and a 3.2 GPA. I really just went for it because I didnt think my stats would get me into either program. To say the least I was overjoyed to get into the program and start August 25th. With your GPA i would say u have a great chance. The teas practice handbook is a great source. I just didnt use it as much as I should have. Good Luck and in my opinion its really just a pool lottery.

I am a 2015 hopeful as well. Retaking the TEAS in Sep. i studied from the mcGraw practice book but just ordered the ATI. What do you think was hard about the Teas? Science was a nightmare for me and My mind went blank when i got to the math part. Hopefully we both do amazing the second time around. My home campus is EC but wouldn't mind going to Porter same distance I live in Zhills and the daycares in WC are way better if I get accepted for me to put my daughter in 1. I am so nervous. Does anyone know how many seats are open for the Rn program and what PHSC minimum score is for the Teas?

I found the Science hard. The math wasn't as bad as I thought it was. I am going to retake it at the end of the month. The ATI book is really good. I borrowed it from a friend and it makes things a little easier to understand. I keep hearing that they accept 75 people for the January program. I am just keeping my fingers crossed. The lady told me 58.7 is what you need to be allowed to apply for the program.

Good luck taking the Teas.

I took the TEAs today and got what you need to score to apply into the program, but I was not happy at all. I studied for about 1.5 months using the McGraw book and the ATI study manual. I also used some online sources that I actually found from this site. I am hoping to get into the PHSC west campus ( my home campus) RN program in spring 2015. I know that the application and website says you need just a proficient.. (which i got :( ...) and a GPA of at least 2.5 to apply ( I have a way higher GPA than that).. but anyone have any idea what the normal average GPA or TEAs score people have been getting accepted with? I keep seeing that apparently if you get in the 60's-70's for a score on the TEAs that its really good!? That is mind boggling to me that a normal score that isn't wonderful, is amazing with this test. I found I was running out of time with the Math section, because I was trying to be critical and take my time. The math was my worst section . Science I found some questions a little difficult and a bit random; I was not expecting some of the questions. I hope to be able to meet you all in the Spring- Good luck with the process! :)

When I took it I studied from the mCgraw but didnt feel like it was the same as the test. I focused a lot on verbs, nouns, etc for the english but didnt get any questions regarding that. Do you feel like the ATI was more helpful?

@sweet101.. I used the McGraw book after I used the ATI one.. The only thing I don't like about the McGraw book is, it literally is just All practice tests.. With the ATI after taking tests or even doing the practice questions whatever answers I got wrong I could refer back to the material and re- read it and understand it better

Yea I think im going to refer to the ATI since I got my results and just focus on what I need to work on better.
