Took the TEAS today, getting ready to apply. Anyone in same boat?

I wonder why they extended it again? For me, it just adds to the stress! When I printed my TEAS results, they printed horizontally. Strange - I hope that it will not be a problem.

Wasnt sure where to post this, anyone have info on wcccd nursing program info meeting dates/times? Thanks

Hi, They changed the entrance exam from the TEAS to the ATI critical thinking test. i have not taken it yet, but will soon. Currently searching for review and prep materials.

How did the critical thinking test go? I'll be taking it soon and am looking for some prep/review materials.

Patho is a pre req at my school. It's somewhat of a "weeder" class. Requires the use of critical thinking skills. Tough class, the exam questions were insane. The mechanism of the disease process was emphasized heavily as was "creating" drugs to ...

Hi, I am not a nurse or a nursing school student but would like to be. I am interested in attending wcccd and was wondering if anyone has tips/advice for me? I was looking at the pre reqs online and also spoke w an advisor but neither was clear on wh...

Hi, I do not want to seem discouraging or negative in any way, but the experience I have at my school is that C's in the science classes don't cut it. Your GPA is good but bear in mind that the science classes build on one another and become progres...

Anyone currently in their program or taking pre reqs there? Was wondering how many they accept. Have not met with head of dept yet.

Vague exams are the worst! I took A & P II this summer and am still waiting for final grade. Nothing that was ever on the exam review guide was actually on the exam. I did great on all of the practicals, but considered withdrawing from the class...

Some really good points were made, that caused me to pause and consider my original opinion, which was to just let the cheater get caught eventually. For me personally, it would depend on the situation. I'm still astounded that cell phones were allo...

I will pm you as soon asI figure out how. Thanks for the encouragement, I feel a little less freaked out now. Yes, I am taking it at Madonna. He would give these "study guides" for the exams and then none of the material on the so-called study guide ...

I can relate!! I have a very tall girl in my A & P II class who shows up only for exams and tends to linger behind those of use who are shorter at the practical stations. I too have a prof that seems to pull exam questions out of the sky and I s...

Hopefully next July, I have gen ed classes to take in addition to some more pre reqs that were not required at WCCC. I have a sinking feeling that I am going to get a "C" in this A & P II class. Hormones are killer for me and his exam questions ...

Any tips/tricks for memorizing hormones, derivatives, target organs, polar/non polar? I have tried straight memorization, but it's just not sinking in. I usually write things out to help me memorize but even that isn't working. Big final this week.

I got a white board and various colors of dry erase markers and I love this system! I can write larger and waste way less paper! It was a great tip. Actually, they all were. Thanks to you all! P.S The white board is much more user friendly when dr...

Good for you! Madonna seems to have a more personal vibe. Especially having come from WCCC. Heard that the minimum GPA to be accepted is 3.6. I have 3.8 but that leaves me no "wiggle room". I'm not well versed on the whole GPA thing. I am as my ad...

How many do they accept? I know it's structured differently than the way they do it in community colleges ( I trans from WCCC) because it's a BSN. Did you take the critical thinking test? I haven't heard much about it so it's daunting. I'm hoping t...

Thanks! That is very interesting. It never occurred to me not to move on to the next thing until I had nailed the first. I was trying straight memorization and I also made a huge chart but got all cramped up from laying, sitting and kneeling on floo...

Dansko. Hands down. I finally broke down and bought a white pair for work and while ugly, they keep my feet happy. I prefer the professional and since I am currently a dental assistant in a more relaxed office I also have a patent leather leopard pai...

Hi - Anyone have any idea how long the wait list is for WCCCD? I called the school today (nursing dept) and the woman I spoke with was abrupt and wanted nothing to do with answering my questions. She actually gave me the old "thanks and good bye" ha...

Just registered for 2 online classes. Have 2 kids, work full time. Anybody out there have any suggestions/helpful hints? Thanks.:)

Thanks, that actually made me laugh. Any advice re:registering for classes online vs in person at wcccd?
