Polk State College Fall 2019 Hopefuls (PSC)

[Austyn Kyser]

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...)

What did you ask her?

[Mooky33870]

I asked her if she could tell me if I was accepted or as an alternate and what my score was. She said I wasnt accepted, but didn't respond what my points were.

I’m an alternate being #6 on the list. I just emailed her back to see what my exact points were. I will let you guys know..

[Demetria Young]

I had 117.6 points according to Denise.

I didn’t get in either..

[Mooky33870]

Alternate #6 seems like good odds to get in. Good luck!!

I didn’t either. They said that my teas scores were not on file at the time my application was submitted but I took the teas at the winter haven campus in February!!
