I never had to fill out the DO so I never had to tell them anything about my background. You don't automatically do the DO, only if they ask for one. When you get your fingerprinting, they just verify your identity. No background questions. On my school application, they asked if I had ever been arrested and I checked yes because it was before the judge signed my expungement order. I just noted the situation and said that I was in the process of getting it expunged. No issues there either.

How long ago was your arrest? Mine was definitely not cleared yet... Not even by the DPS but they still approved me. With that being said, everyone else was getting their blue cards one and a half weeks after fingerprinting and it took me almost a month to get the letter. I would go ahead and do your fingerprinting ?

Did they request a DO from you? I didn't actually need to submit a DO so I didn't do one. I thought they requested the DO but it turns out they were referring to the paperword I had to send in for the NCLEX.

I actually misunderstood the letter that was sent to me. It basically stated that I was approved for school but that I would need to submit an application to take the NCLEX sooner than most people (I think 6-8 weeks before I graduate). I think it's because they still saw it on my record but they saw that it was in the process of being expunged. Truth be told, I think the BON can still see expunged records but I could be wrong.

I was accepted into an RN program starting in August. I completed my fingerprinting and the BON sent me a letter stating that I needed to complete a declaratory order petition. I was arrested for a class A misdemeanor at age 17 (11 years ago). The court order to expunge my record was signed in April of this year. I was never charged and completed a pretrial diversion. The DO states that expunged offenses do not need to be disclosed but that I should send in a copy of the court order expunging the record just in case. Should I still send in court records for my initial arrest? The timing was a little strange on my background check. Technically the record is expunged but the state of Texas had 60 days to destroy all records so it was probably still on my record when my fingerprinting was completed.

Congrats everyone! I will be declining my spot to Gainesville because I was accepted in an RN program. Good luck to you all ?

Congrats! Corinth or Gainesville?

As long as you score the minimum of 50 per section, I think they really go by overall score. Our orientation leader said that her last semester had a minimum score of about 72 points (overall). That was at Gainesville though so I'm not sure how competitive the other campuses are. Good luck to you!! ?

I agree on the science section! If you get a TEAS study guide and really review the science section, I think you will do great!

Awesome! I only applied at Bridgeport because Weatherford is too far for me. I only have 29 points (I haven't taken micro or A&P 2 yet) but it doesn't hurt to try! Fingers crossed that there weren't many applicants ?

Really?! I thought it would be mid-April at the earliest. Now I'm getting more nervous! Did you apply at the Weatherford campus or Bridgeport?

I would definitely email her and ask. It couldn't hurt. They told us that if we wanted multiple campus selections to select each campus and write which option was our 1st choice and which was our 2nd choice.

I think that is a great score ? the TEAS was super difficult! I applied to Gainesville and Bowie. During the information session, they said that Corinth is taking fewer applicants this year because they are moving buildings or something along those lines. Could you add another campus to your app as a backup just in case it's more competitive?

Who applied to the 2019 Fall Weatherford College ADN program? Which campus did you apply to? How did you do on your TEAS test? How many points did you apply with? Letters should be going out in about 3-5 weeks. Let's play the waiting game together! ?

I just applied to the program starting in the fall. I made an overall score of an 80 on the TEAS. Which campus did you apply for?
