Polk state college fall 2021 applicants

Published

Hey guys! 
 

My name is Chris. I wanted to start this thread because I am interested in applying for nursing school at Polk state college for the fall 2021 semester.Everyone feel free to drop your stats (pre. Req GPA, overall GPA, TEAS score, and total points).I’m currently sitting at a 70% on the TEAS but definitely looking into retaking it to score higher.  I look forward to hearing from everyone as time goes on! ?

I'm currently at a 3.63 overall GPA but after this term ends it'll prob go down a few.. but I currently have a 4.0 prereq GPA but am taking hun this Summer term. My TEAS score is an 82%, I also already have an associates degree.

so that's about 122 points?? I am really excited and can't wait to meet everyone. BTW, has anyone done that BLS certification thing yet?

Hi Ashley, 

I got my BLS certification in February through my job. I enjoyed it! We were lectured by the instructors and looked through a PowerPoint. After that we were able to practice CPR on dummies. At the end, we took a test which determined if we passed. I think the passing score was an 84%. So that is what you may expect from a BLS course if you take it in person.

Hey, where are you seeing it show your points? I had to calculate mine myself (5 x overall GPA) + (5 x prereq GPA) + TEAS score + 2 if you have a previous degree= points. I didn’t know there was a way for us to see this online?

Hi Chris! My name is Janice, I will be applying as well for the Fall 2021 nursing program at Polk. I currently have a 3.88 overall GPA and 3.86 prereq GPA. I’m currently taking Microbiology and A&P 2. So I’m hoping I get good grades this semester and do not bring down that GPA. I have yet to take the TEAS. I’m planning on my first attempt being in February. I’m definitely a bit worried about the TEAS. Good luck on applying. Hopefully we will be calling ourselves nursing students in the fall!

Hi Janice, 

Quick Question! Have they filed your TEAS exam yet?

Hey Janice,

What exactly does it mean when she said if you filed your TEAS exam yet?

Hi TiaaC, 

I meant if they filed the TEAS exam under, Tests and Placements.

hi guys! can’t believe the application window is so close. good luck to everyone I hope we all get in. I just took the TEAS test and got an 81 and my program and prerequisites GPA is a 3.7, so I think this puts me at 118. Hoping that is enough to get in because I only applied to Polk.

Hi guys!

So, is anyone able to access the application? The site it leads me to for the generic application is Etrieve and there's no sign-up button. I am wondering if anyone has made it past the login page as I am unable to do so yet.

Best of luck to everyone and I pray everyone applying eventually ends up in the place they were meant to be at.

The etrieve username should be the first part of your Polk state email with out the @my.polk.edu and a password u picked when uploading your instate residence Proof.

Hey, I was able to access the application and I made it to where it says the generic option. Although, in the application it says it is available from June 15th to midnight of June 30th. I know that’s what happened due to the delay before but I am not sure.
