Hello everyone! This is my very first post, but I have been snooping for awhile now. I didn't see a current thread for Polk State Fall 2018 hopefuls so I figured I'd start one, so that I could find others like myself that may or may not be in full on freak out mode!!!
Here is a little about me...feel free to share a little bout you! I am a 34 year old mom of 3. I have a teaching degree, but unfortunately, the school system sucked the joy right out of that! I have instead homeschooled my kids for the past 8 years while working for my husband helping him get his business up and going. My oldest is now getting ready to start high school and I have been feeling lead to step out and do something new...plus we could really use 2 incomes now that the kids are getting older. My passion has always been helping people and being a paramedic was always on my list of dream jobs, however their hours are hard with having an active family. After much thought, I have decided to pursue a midlife career change and become a nurse! My family is super supportive and thinks I would do great. With that being said, I am freaking out at all the change and the what ifs!
I have all but my science pre-reqs complete. I am taking A&P 1 over the summer and applying for fall pending completion in hopes I can take A&P 2 and Micro while doing the nursing program (if I get in); however I hear it is harder to get accepted without all your sciences complete. I have a 3.75 overall GPA and a 3.64 program GPA. I also have a bachelor's degree. I am taking the TEAS this Friday. I have taken 2 practice exams and scored a 72 and an 81. I am hoping I can pass it but am finding it difficult in the science section since I haven't had A&P. I am holding on to hope though that I can pull it off and end up getting accepted somehow for the fall. I am not getting any younger...LOL!
So what's your story? Past or current students have any advice?? Hopefuls want to freak out with me?? All are welcome!!!
I didn't get my packet until the day of they said we would get either a packet or letter. So from my experience based in the Spring 2018 term, it was the day stated on our paper we got from when applying.
"The Registrar's office is not done with processing the applications yet so I don't know when we will get them. I am hoping this week but no guarantee."
This is the response I got from Dr. Hutcherson, not much longer everyone!
