Hi all! I wanted to start a thread for those applying to Perimeter for the fall 2019 program. I take my TEAS this afternoon and will be sending in my application after that. Good luck to everyone trying to get in!

JennyChi already filled you in on the skills pack, so I won't go over that. For uniforms, you *might* be able to find one used. My guess is no though. Honestly, they get a bit worn out. It's a white top that you wear 1-2 times a week depending on if ...

Hey, So it's hard to do an exact total, but it breaks down about this way: Tuition: around $1500/semester ATI fees: around $175/semester Books and coursepoint: maybe $4-500/semester Uniform: around $50 per set, useful to have two Shoes: Ranges. Mine ...

The people who were admitted and accepted their spots were sent an email with info on the program. There were 52 people that the email was sent to, so the assumption is that there are 8 spots remaining. So hopefully some other people will get a chanc...

Yeah, make sure you put in the school code. Then scroll down a ways, and pick the uniform options you need. You'll need to pick one of the uniform shirt options (around $40) and one of the pant options (around $15). And they do recommend you having t...

It's what I did. I had hoped and planned to start the program this semester, and got accepted, but life circumstances weren't going to work out very well if I had. So I had to deny my spot and apply all over again for spring. It was really hard to do...

Sorry for the bad info on the acceptance packets guys! They must have changed that since last semester. I know that would've been heartbreaking to see... My husband still hasn't checked our mail yet so not sure if I have any news yet. Congrats to th...

I received both an acceptance and denial letter last time lol, so I do know the difference! The denial was like you said, a simple envelope. The acceptance was a packet with all the info you need to know to start getting yourself ready for the progra...

Yeah, I'm applying to the spring semester as well. I too can't seem to find my paperwork of the cost breakdown. But I think it was somewhere around $7000. I know from my acceptance paperwork from last time that there are several things you have to pa...

If you want AP catchup, watch Crash Course on youtube! Their videos are so good for refreshing the basics. I plan to go through them again before starting the program itself. The wait does feel like forever, and nope, not my first time. I applied a...

Hi there! Your stats are pretty solid. Have you done A&P yet? Microbiology wasn't too bad. I did the lecture online and the lab at night twice a week while working full time, and with a kid and my husband at home, and I got an A. Don't let yourse...

I'd say your stats are promising! 3.76 is definitely not bad. Good luck to you! I know I'm counting down the days until the end of September.

Nope, no portal for it. We'll get letters sometime in September I think, and that's the only notification there will be. It'll be a small letter if you're denied, and a big packet of info if you're accepted. Easy enough to tell before you even open i...

Hey hey! You should be good for getting in, your stats are great! And I can definitely feel you on making school a priority. I'm SUCH a better student now than I was for my first degree. I hope the new psych goes well! I'm hoping to take it sometime ...

I feel you on being relieved at how they calculate the GPA! I have a previous bachelors with a lot of extra credits (calculus, physics, computer engineering) that really screw with my cumulative GPA. Luckily my prereq GPA is good though so that's all...

Does KSU let you retake the TEAS? Do it again if you can, it seems to be the only weak point on your stats. And are you comfortable with potentially not getting accepted? If you're okay waiting a semester or two just in case you don't get in, then I ...

I would definitely pursue traditional programs, both ADN and BSN. I already have a bachelors degree but I'll be getting my ADN. I know the ABSN programs are so competitive that you can have damned near a 4.0 and still not get accepted sometimes.

And I understand that it will be more of a struggle as a single mother. I'm honestly not sure what the answer is. I do know that part of the time when I was doing my prereqs, I thought I would be a single mom but I planned to do it anyway. I was goin...

Hi! I'll be leaving my federal job for nursing as well, although it's a totally unrelated field. I hate to give up my good pay and benefits, but my future doesn't lie with where I'm at now. I might end up staying on my federal position part time whil...

Those are awesome stats! I'm sure you'll get in. I assume you're a second-career nurse hopeful? I always like to see more of us! I doubt micro or APII will be too much of a problem. As long as you don't get behind, you should be good.

I've been wondering similar things too! I don't think the gore will bug me too much. I'm used to patching up random injuries, and I like watching operation videos for fun (like someone above mentioned). I am 100% sure that it will be different in per...

Oh wow, I'm so happy for you! Congrats! Feel free to delete this thread if you want, I can start another one. Whatever works best for you. And how awesome that you don't have to retake the TEAS now!

So for my TEAS prep, I got a few of the books that are offered for study. I also bought the basic package (on sale!) which included practice tests A and B, and came with one of the practice books. I took one of the practice tests before I did ANY stu...

Hey hey! I am applying for spring 2020 as well. I did get accepted for fall 2019, but real life got in the way and I had to decline my spot. Felt terrible doing so, but I know that starting in the spring will be 100% better for my family and my life ...

You can still apply. You only have to have one of the Bio classes done. Take the TEAS and submit your application! You can definitely get english and history done before the spring semester.
