I am still waiting for mine in the mail. I dont think that I will be getting in. I am currently taking nutrition, but I still need micro and the micro lab. I was taking it this semester also, but my professor was horrible so I had to drop my lecture which automatically drops you from lab. I didnt want to risk a bad grade so it was the only option I had. Good luck to everyone here.

Ok, so this is totally off topic (sorry). I think that I want to apply for this program, but for the new one that does not require the BA to start. I dont live in AZ. Are there alot of apartment communities around there that are nice that arent crazy expensive?

Philosophy was a very hard class for me as well. Getting a "B" is good for that class. Dont worry about getting "B's" in those classes. BCC accepts "B's". You are stressing way to much. Now if you were getting a "C" then I would understand all the stress. Dont drop it unless you think your grade will drop lower. You are 1/2 way through. At this point in my "college career" I aim for "B's". I am so over trying to get all "A's". I want to have a life besides going to class and studying, b/c once I am in a nursing program I can kiss that social life goodbye. I guess I am not stressing as much b/c I dont think that I am going to be going to BCC... I think that I might be moving to AZ. and go to an accelerated school out there. That is a better opportunity for me. I will be my BA in 2 years rather then just my Associates. Good luck with the class. Keep your head up.

I took it a few months back. I quickly reviewed with the actual TEAS V book from the website. I should have studied more, but I was overwhelmed with all the classes I was taking at the moment. I just passed... I got a 63. I was thinking about retaking it to get a better grade, but it is not needed. Good luck when you retake it.

I dont think that you will have a problem getting in once all your classes are done. When I called and spoke with them, they said that they first pick the students that have all the classes done (and the grades are good)... then they pick people with one class left to do... and so on. They really want you to be done with all your sciences. That is what they look at the most.... your grades in science. Since you will still have 2 science classes left (technically 4 with the labs) you are in the same boat as me. I have micro and nutrition left which I am taking in the fall. I am not getting my hopes up that I will be getting in, for that reason. I know they get hundreds of applications. I also know that your TEAS score doesnt matter as long as you just passed. When I went to the nursing meeting... they specifically said that you dont have to take the test 10 times. As long as you pass... you pass. They dont care your score. Just stay positive as best as you can. Dont put all your eggs in one basket. Look around to other schools (locally). If you are going to have to wait to start until 2013... you might as well go right for your BA. That is what I figured and started looking at schools. 4 year schools dont have any requirements as to what needs to be done. You just enter if accepted. Yes... it is more $$$ and takes longer, but chances are you will have to get your BA soon anyway. Good luck... I hope that you get in!!!

The waiting game really sucks. I do have a feeling that I will get either waitlisted or wont get in. I do plan on reapplying in October if I still live here. There is a school in a different state that I am looking into that may be a possibility. I just dont want to not get into any schools... because that would really suck after all this.

So the book is different from the TEAS V book?

I was told that that there was going to be bio, a&p for the sciences. There was also going be a few different things in the english section and math. The good thing about the HESI A2, is that there will be no chemistry.. which I suck at. I really dont want to have to purchase another book. Do you suggest that I purchase a book for the HESI... and if so what book? How much was it? Thank you so much for all and any info. What did you get on the HESI (if you dont mind sharing)?

I actually took the TEAS V on a whim. I scored a 63% the first time. All I needed was a 60% for the one school that I applied to. That was a few months ago. Now I am told that I need to take the HESI for another school that I am looking into. I am a little worried about it. The reason I scored so low on the TEAS was b/c of the science... but now I have alot more science under my belt so I should be ok. I am worried about the math now. I havent looked over the stuff since the test. Should I be worried? I would love any insight on the HESI. Thanks!!!

The final was a beast. I ended up with a B. I had A's on all the tests and then I got a C on the final. So that gave me a B. I was happy with a B... I didnt want to have to take the class again.

PD.... I was just re-reading your post... did you take statistics? That is the one math that is mandatory. It is in the nursing brochure. If you havent taken it yet... I would register in the fall for it. It is not an easy class. One of the hardest I have taken yet.

Oh... haha. I am going to wait to take the class. I want to get into BCC and then once I get the letter saying that I am in... I will take the class.

Good luck with the CPR class. Its funny I took one when I was 12 too (for babysitting). It seemed so hard back then. haha

Like I said before... I didnt think it was crazy hard. I thought the science section was the hardest. Which you should have no problem with since you already have taken so many classes before. The math is basic math. The english part, I heard from many people, that they thought it was difficult.... but overall it was pretty basic. I am thinking about retaking it just to satisfy myself. I know that now since I have so many sciences under my belt, I think that I can score higher. Let me know how you do when you are done. GOOD LUCK!

I didnt even realize that it was 60. I thought it was 30 or 40. 60 sounds much better... haha. You will do great on the TEAS. :)

I took the TEAS a few months ago when I had no science under my belt. I just passed (literally). I think that I got 62 or 63. I was going to take it again, but according to BCC a pass is a pass (doesnt matter if your grade is an 80 or a 60). I am sure if I took it again soon I would get a much better grade. I thought that they science was the only hard part. I literally guessed on that entire section. The rest I thought was pretty easy. Dont be scared over the test. You will prob think it is simple since you have had so many classes already. Just go... stay positive and do it!! I literally took it without much studying. I figured I would do it on a whim... if I passed GREAT, if not then I would study and go back again to take it. I was lucky to pass it the first time. Let me know how you do after you actually take it.

I have so many classes done. I have some that dont count towards nursing (b/c I needed to be full-time for unemployment so I took random classes hoping it will go towards my BA at some point). But the ones that I have done that count toward Nursing are: Eng 101 Eng 102 Psy 101 Psy 256 Bio 110, 111 Phi 101 Mth 107 Soc 101 Currently taking: Bio 114, 115 Still need to take: Bio 155, 156 (registered in the fall) Che 210 (registered in the fall) How about you? What is done? What do you still need to take?

Prettidimples... I did apply for the spring 2012 start. I sent my application out on the very 1st day. I just really wish that I would have had more classes done. I feel like I have been at this for a long time (which I have). I started classes back in 2009. I was told that I couldnt take any science classes until I was done all the remedial maths. I had to take both... it's been 11 years since I was in high school and I have always been bad at math. (technically I could have tested out of 055 but I decided it was good refresher). Anyway... on top of that I had to take a bio class that didnt count b/c someone at BCC told me that I didnt have the right lab in high school. (I know that I did b/c I remember disecting... but whatever). So I didnt think that I could pass the lab without the class (stupid me) and I took both the lab and lecture in bio. UGH!!! AND... I had to take intro to chem b/c I never took that in high school. So I have been at this a while... as you can see. The messed up thing this is... there are people in my a&p class that are still taking their remedial maths. I was not allowed too register for ANY sciences until I was done all the remedial's. But I guess that wasnt the case. I could have had these science classes done a few semesters ago... atleast a few more done. It is a very frustrating process!! I feel that their are people at BCC that dont really know what they are doing.

It sounds like everyone on this thread is in a much better position then me. I wish that I could have got nutrition or micro done summer 1, but it was the same nights as the class I am already taking. I would feel much better better about possibly getting in for the fall 2012 start if that was the case. I really want to start already so I can get my life started. Im no youngster anymore.

Mary, Each NUR course takes one whole semester. I have not heard any different. If you hear different let me know. That is the impression that I have been going on.

I applied as well for the 2012 spring class. I still have micro and nutrition which I am taking in the fall. I am currently taking a&p II. I was under the impression that summer I session counts, but summer II session is late. That is what I was told atleast. I am pretty sure that I will get waitlisted since I am so short on my sciences but I am still trying to stary positive. My GPS is 3.87 and I got a 60 something on the teas. I was also told there is no reason to take it again... all you need is the passing score and its all the same after that. My best friend went to BCC, and there is no way to double up on the NUR classes. You can not graduate early. It takes 2 years. I hope that everyone gets in... I hate this waiting game. I have been doing nothing but stressing over this. There are not many schools to apply to in the area.

When I took the TEAS I barely had any science under my belt. Its been 11 years since I was in high school and i didnt remember anything from then. Plus I never had chemistry in my life. I thought that everything was pretty simple and basic except for the science section. I just passed by the skin of my teeth with a 63 (or something like that). I have been thinking about taking it again now that I have had chemistry and a&p I, but I need to find the time to study for it over this summer. I am currently taking a&p II and that is taking up so much of my time. I have not been accepted into OLOL... I do dream of it though. haha. I applied for the Spring 2012 class but I dont have all my pre-req done. Once I am done my summer 1 session, I still need Micro. I am taking that in the fall. I am also taking Nutrition... even though it is not a pre-req. Some people on here have said that they rcvd letters or something about not getting in and having to wait until 2013, but I have yet to get that... so no new is good news. I never took either the HESI or SAT's. I cant compare... but I do know that everything that is on the TEAS is supposed to be something that you learned in high school or lower. Like I said before... it was pretty simple except for the science sections. I think that if I had the time to take it again (with study time for a few weeks), then I think I could get my score up into the upper 70's lower 80's. Science was the only section I scored poorly on.

I already sold mine to one of my friends... but look on Amazon. I heard that you can get it for cheap from there.

Im a little bit confused. We are in the year 2011. For the Sept class start it will be Fall 2011... right? Then for the Spring class that will be Spring 2012. I applied for the 2012 start and I didnt plan on hearing anything from OLOL for months.

I live in Mt. Laurel, which is 2 minutes from the BCC Mt. Laurel Campus. I was told that I needed to have it done over Summer I session. But I should look. Thanks for the tip.
