Nursewebb, I did my pre-requisites at quincy college and a couple at massasoit. =)

I just took the TEAS exam in March. I studyed for that test for over a month....i really needed to brush up on my math. I used ATI Pre-test study manual which cost me 45$....i also used McGraw Hills Nursing School Entrance Exams .book...it was also very helpful..get it at borders or barnes and noble for 20$..money well spent. I advice is to really brush up on your science, i studied hard for the science section and still ended up doing horribly. There were like 2 A&P questions, and the rest were physics, chem, and questions about ROCKS and VOLCANOS, and EARTH PLATES...i know.,..nothing to do with nursing...The reading section is pretty straightforward just read things carefully and you should be fine...the math section wasnt bad either as long as you study...i actually found the english section tricky...i had a hard time with sentence structure. My advice is to not worry too much about the timer on the computer...and TAKE YOUR TIME...i was so freaked out about the test i just rushed through it, even though i had plenty of extra time in the science and english section left over...i just wanted to get out of there! But take your time, take the breaks they allow you to stretch and breathe. I ended up getting into the program, even with doing badly on the science section. Since you are already accepted into the program, and you only have to pass with a 67% you should be fine. Just get that book and brush up on the information, do as many practice questions you can. There are also practice TEAS tests online (although i didnt find them helpful)...GOOD LUCK!!!

Thanks so much NayNaeRN!! I am really excited about starting in the fall!

Surprisingly the Science section. There werent many A&P questions which was disappointing...there were more physics, chemistry, and general science questions, geology...like questions about rocks and volcanos and earth plates...i didnt do well on that section unfortunately....

It's competitive. I went to an Info session and they get a few hundred applicants for the nursing program. They mainly look at your TEAS score, then they factor in ore-requesites, other coursework, and GPA. I studied for over a month for the TEAS and to be honest I didnt do as well as I expected. I didnt do badly, for not fantastic either. I have a high GPA and have all my course work done except Microbiology and the core nursing courses. As long as you have all your pre-requisites done, a good GPA and a good TEAS score you should have a good shot at getting in. Good luck.

Hey everyone, I got a letter of acceptance from RCC ADN day program for fall 2010 today. I am very excited but am torn between another program...I won't go into details, but RCC wasnt my first choice, but now that I got in i'm confused! I went to an information session and got my basic questions answered. But my biggest question to all RCC graduates (or current nursing students), I would like to hear your feedback on the program. Are you satisfied? What do you like and what do you dislike? How are the professors? Is the program challenging? Basically I would like to know RCC students (and graduates) level of satisfaction with the program and dont be afraid to be 100% honest. It will help me out A LOT with my decision. Thanks SO much in advance for your replies!!!!!
