Pollk State College (PSC) Fall 2019 Applicants

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. :)

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.

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...)

Hey there! I’m actually planning on applying next month for the transition program if all goes well on the Teas next week. I keep postponing it because I don’t feel prepared ? I just found this website and was looking at previous threads where they discuss the points system but I have yet to find the breakdown of how to figure out my points. Do you know? Any help would be appreciated!

Yes, I figured it out.. so they take your TEAS score + 5 times your overall GPA + 5 times your program GPA. Their is bonus points if you have a preview degree etc. but that’s basically it.

To find those two different GPA’s go to Polk passport. After you login go to the degree audit and switch to “nursing generic track” and scroll all the way to the bottom and you should seethe two different GPA’s. Hope this helps, if you need more help let me know!

When do you take your TEAS? You just have to commit to your date and keep studying, trust me if I could do it so can you ?

Ok got it! Thank you very much. I’m scheduled to take it next week. Do you know how many months the transition program is? I’m hearing 15 at Polk but at Pasco it’s only 8 months..
