Students School Programs
Published Apr 24, 2019
Well let me start off by introducing myself. My name is Austyn and I am 26. I have been in the medical field for about 4 years now. It all started when I got my EMT-B licence back in 2015? Needless to say, I still have my EMT, but I have decided to transition into Nursing. I have all my prerequisites completed, except for Micro (which I am taking this Summer at HCC online).
Lets talk about the TEAS, who else dreads it? Or is it just me? I have taken it a total of three times. My first score was 56.7. My second score was 64 and as of today (I took it this morning) a 74. I know Polk's min. score is a 70, but most of the students who get accepted make high 70's up into the 80's.
I have been looking for a thread for Polk State College Nursing Fall 2019. I have had no luck, so I guess I will create one in hopes that someone comes across this and we can all share our stories and talk about Nursing school.
After searching for a thread, I came across some other ones for the previous years and I saw they were comparing there scores for the point system Polk uses... I guess my score is a 107.5, not very high compared to theirs. They were talking about theirs being around 115-120. I know Polk is competitive, but I am worried I wont get accepted. Anyone else in my boat?
Thank you all for reading (If anyone even reads this...)

Hi Austyn, my name is Ebone and I am also hoping to be admitted in the fall. I libe in Tampa and have two young sons. I have an associates in allied health from HCC and a bachelor's from USF health science. I took the TEAS in March and got an 86%. My cumulative GPA is a 3.44 & my prerequisite GPA is 3.28, so my points come to about 123. I've been wanting this for so long and I'm hoping I get in.

Hello, my name is Paige and I'm applying for Fall as well. I work for the Sheriff's Office part time but my Nursing is my dream career. My GPA is on the lower side but my TEAS score is 76.6 so I hope to get in. I know Fall is harder to get into but I have my AA degree so hopefully, that will help. Good luck to everyone!
Good luck Paige,
Tomorrow is the first day of applications. I’m waking up early to submit mine! Then it’s the waiting game
Good morning! Today is the day!!!! ???? Good luck everyone!
I submitted my application twice. on the first one I didnt get to put any information in. So I got on from my laptop and submitted with all the information. Do you guys think that will be a problem? Should I call?
I would call just to be sure.
