Polk State College Fall 2019 Hopefuls (PSC)

Nursing Students School Programs

Published

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...)

Man it's not looking to promising for me...

Didn't get in, I'm going to ask what they calculated my points out to be

I ended up going up to the school and they didn’t have my most current teas score on file so now I’m on the alternate list for the transition class. I wonder how many people actually pass up seats for the transition class. Congrats to everyone who got in and for those of us waiting let’s stay hopeful!! ??

I emailed because I'm in Paris and was impatient waiting on my son to check the mail. I was not accepted. I suppose I'll study and retake the TEAS, hopefully that will help.

Does anybody know when the alternates will hear something by? Will we find out at the first meeting next week?

When I went to the office Monday and spoke with Dr. Hutcherson she said that students have until this Friday to sign their letter and return it to secure their seat. So I’m assuming by orientation hopefully we should know if we have a seat or not!

What number are you guys on alternate list for transition? My friend was 10 last year and got in!

Demetria, what was your score?? #6 would seem pretty a good shot to get in. Good luck!!

I got in guys!!! I just got the phone call!
