yeah-science

Hey! I personally had like a 3.7 or something with my prerequisites going in, I had everything done except micro. I already had a previous degree, but on my transcript no GPA is listed for it, only 12 transfer credits (none of them were science prereqs). I had a 92~ on TEAS. In-county resident. I can't remember the points system exactly and I never actually got a confirmation on how many points my application had been awarded— not sure if they tell you or not if you ask. But if memory serves me, I think max points possible is 20 total with GPA and TEAS score. Depending on how they handled my previous credits to determine the number of credits I'd earned by then, I think I would've been awarded anywhere between 16-20 points. But I'm not sure, my previous degree GPA was very very low with plenty of Ws and a couple Fs. I include this info just because it complicates my application a bit, so my experience is not representative.

Yes thank you! I responded back to you, sorry for the delay. ?

thank you, that actually makes sense ?

Just looking for any info, definitely considering a residency after my program and just don't wanna go into it blindly. Thank you in advance!

hey again, sorry for the multiple posts, but all-nurses won't let me send any PMs! it says I can send 0 a day, which makes no sense LOL. I tried both ? but if you feel comfortable to email me, here is my Gmail: doxxer.no.doxxing @ gmail.com I was gonna post my PCCC email but thought I better not put that on a public forum LOL

CONGRATULATIONS! Woohoo I didn't think I'd get a reply here! Thank you so much for responding. I'm def gonna message you! And yeah that's what I heard from someone in the day program after I already submitted, I was like "oh crap... well let's start working on plan B" LOL!

I just got accepted for Spring 2025 Evening Program. Is there anyone else on the forum that got accepted? I would love to connect with others in my cohort, I know a couple people in the day cohort ahead of me but no one who was actively applying to this one. Orientation is next week and I'm thrilled, although I didn't totally expect to get accepted because I heard there were hundreds of applicants this year for 40 seats. I was already working on other applications, that's how unsure I was.

Thanks so much for the reply!

@MarcieM thank you so much for the information! ? I am new to the forum and just figured out I can mention usernames instead of quoting whole replies LOL @Rose_Queen and @kinbari08 thank you two also for the very helpful input! I am gonna try to set myself up to do daytime, and maybe move to nights eventually, if not I'll check out some other specialties once I'm out in the big wide world of nursing.

Yeah that's why I'm gonna try to shift things around to make working day shift possible, if I can get my spouse in board with it. I had my suspicions that would be the case, but figured I'd ask, thank you!! ?

Thanks for the great information I appreciate it; all that makes a lot of sense. The big hospital system nearby me has a nurse residency program and has several periop positions listed saying nurses in the residency program are welcome to apply, of course they're day shift. I think over the time I have left in my program, I'm gonna work on figuring out something with my family's schedules so I can do day shift. I don't want to wonder what could've been. Thanks again ?

Thank you so much for the reply, I really reeeally wanna be in the OR... I might see what I can do with childcare and my husband's work to make day shift possible. I have seen day shift positions posted explicitly mentioning new grads welcome. Ugh I really want this ?

I would really love to go into the OR after I graduate, but most positions I see are daytime 7-3 type positions. I really want to work overnights, even evenings would be fine. Are there established periop positions on nights, or are you guys working mostly the standard work week? Thanks for any insight!
