I got in! I’m so excited! This has been a long journey for me. Congrats to everyone that got in, I can’t wait to meet all of you! For the ones that didn’t get in... don’t give up!

I am also a Certified Medical Assistant with 20 years experience. I wish that counted for something. Good luck!!!

I applied for Fall 2019 as well. I’ve been checking my email like crazy. I’m really hoping that I get in. I couldn’t apply last semester because I ended up with a 73.8 on my TEAS. I took it again and got a 76 overall (I ran out of time on the math section so I only got a 78 & the science was horrible so it brought my overall down too). My overall application score was 46.8. It’s really hard to compete with the applicants that have degrees because they all seem to have over 50 points. I have completed all my pre req’s and have a 4.0 GPA so I’m really hoping that will help make up for having a lower TEAS score. Good luck to everyone & hopefully we will hear something SOON!!!

Hi everyone! First of all, good luck to all of you! I have a question for those of you that have 50+ points on your application. Do you have bachelor or assocate degrees or the points from high school classes? I'm asking because there is no way I can apply with that many points, even if I were to get a perfect score on the TEAS. Maybe I'm missing something but the most points you can receive on section two (prerequisites) is 23 and then your points from the TEAS. If you don't already have a degree or the high school points, the maximum points you can apply with is 53. So I was just wondering if all of you with over 50 points received the extra points for education. If not, how did you get so many points? I feel like I won't stand a chance of ever getting into CPCC's nursing program without already having a degree. I have completed all my prerequisites, I have a 4.0 GPA & 20 years experience as a certified medical assistant, working in a clinical setting. Unfortunately, none of that counts on the application. I'm taking the TEAS in a few days, I have been studying like crazy but if I don't get 90% across the board, I won't have enough points to compete.
