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...)

Transition or generic?? What's your total points?? Congrats!!

Thank you. Generic, and my points should be around 123.

Yay for you.. it looks like all the ones who got their letter had a decent amount of points.. sitting at 107 here..

Thank you. Stay optimistic.

I get into respiratory care as back up plan, but it seems impossible to be an alternate.

I am right behind you.

Got my letter, I’m an alternate with *around* 118 points (called and left a message to verify...). 82 teas, 3.4 overall, 3.8 prerequisites.

When did you get your letter? Mhm that’s weird, because my friend had 113-114 points and got her letter and was accepted..

Yesterday. After calculating my points I was a little confused as to why I would be an alternate looking at last years points and such so I did call to make sure everything is correct, but it was Saturday so I guess I’ll hear back Monday. Little disappointed ☹️

I did verify the correct TEAS score was in and the correct GPA so I’m not sure what went wrong. Was your friend a student there? I’m wondering if they get first priority because I’ve taken classes at UCF and Valencia.

For generic or transition? Is it for this semester? If right, no hope

Generic for fall ? but have hope! Something could have gone wrong with my application!

I’m honestly not sure if she was.. I know she also applied to HCC. Well least you got your letter, what number alternate are you? I’m hoping I get mine tomorrow (I work 7-7 tho so it will be late). I know most likely I’ll be an alternate, because of my score.. hopefully I’m high on the list though ;)
