    The way that I study is by honing in on pertinent information as related to the lectures and PowerPoints. You will be given exemplars (disease processes) to study. So exam one could be Hypertension,...

    DQuixote replied to LaurendoubleU's topic in School, College Programs

    I already had my co-reqs done from a previous degree for the BSN and ADN. I would take those extra classes over the Summer. Semester 2 you might be able to take an extra class... But definitely not...

    DQuixote replied to LaurendoubleU's topic in School, College Programs

    Correct. After the first semester your costs are reduced to ATI fee ($800) and regular tuition ($900 for out of county, for me). As a side note, Semester 1 is significantly more challenging than...

    DQuixote replied to LaurendoubleU's topic in School, College Programs

    It's not that they don't care about the TEAS it is just that Collin is one of the best programs in the area and INSANLY competitive. Collin averages about 500-600 applications PER cycle. Of those...

    DQuixote replied to LaurendoubleU's topic in School, College Programs

    As I have commented previously in this thread, the 16 points low acceptance was from my Cohort (Fall 2020). We were under a different point system. We were actually an incredibly difficult class to...

    Depends on if you are in-county, out of county, or out of state. For in-county it will cost about $1,200 per semester. $400 for standard tuition and $800 for your ATI

    DQuixote replied to LaurendoubleU's topic in School, College Programs

    With a 4.0 and a 90 on the TEAS you will be fine. That is par for the course for most accepted students. Things start getting iffy when you throw a B in there or a low 80

    DQuixote replied to LaurendoubleU's topic in School, College Programs

    With 19.1 points I think you will be competitive depending on what your tie breaker points are. Also, keep in mind, my cohort was unusually competitive and had a reduced capacity for acceptance. It...

    DQuixote replied to jazzzy_'s topic in School, College Programs

    Nice. It seems like all of us who got in had 4.0 and around a 90 TEAS. This class was ultra competitive. See you on the 28th. Side note, do you know what the 2nd backround check is all about? I mean...
