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...)

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. I know most likely I’ll be an alternate, because if my score.. hopefully I’m high on the list though ;)

I’m not sure, how can we find our number? Also, do you know how many alternates they usually accept each year?

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.

I don't think so i am a Seminole State Student

Hmm, does it not say what number you are? I thought it did, because in previous semesters and friends from previous years said it says what number you are. That’s depressing that it doesn’t tell you /: ugh

Hi guys! I had 114 points and I am an alternate and they did not give me a number.

Yeah I’m not happy ☹️ Maybe I calculated my points wrong? But an 82 teas and using 3.4 for the overall and prerequisite (it’s higher than that but) gpa, I get 116 points....

Mhm, yeah this just sucks altogether.. maybe call or email tomorrow and find out what number you are on the alternate list, they should be able to tell you/us?

Sounds like a plan ☺️

I don't understand why PS can't post scores/acceptance results electronically. It's not fair some got their results already and the rest of us have to wait... ? I'm dying here!!

I live in Tampa

I think it would make sense for people in Tampa to get theirs first. I believe our mail goes to Tampa to be sorted first. I'm in Lake Wales.
