I recently took the SUNY math placement test, and scored higher than I expected to. I prepared using a CLEP Algebra study guide, College Algebra Demystified, and the Khan Academy website. Of the three, Khan Academy was the most helpful. I'd never tak...

Just repeating what I said above. If you apply without having the compulsory prereqs done, your application will fail the prescreening and you won't even get to write the TEAS. They will not consider your application if those courses are not complete...

Oh, I did get accepted - I just can't go. My husband took a job out of state and there is no way for me to stay here in Illinois and go to school. Sorry that I wasn't more clear.

They're only going to look at your GPA for Eng 101, Psych 101, Psych 215, Heal 109 (nutrition), Bio 250, and Bio 251. You've got 2 Bs and 1 A with 3 classes left to take (though you can apply after you have Bio 250 done). I would really try your best...

The Littmans I saw at my school's uniform sale weren't shrinkwrapped either. No clue if they're supposed to be. I had the one I ordered from Medisave engraved, so if it were wrapped they would have had to open it anyways. :)

For the group starting in August (thus applied last Feb.), the average composite score for admission was 80%. I think the average for reading was 88%. I don't know what the lowest scores accepted were, but two people I know didn't get in even though ...

I noticed in the other thread that you still need to finish Bio 151, Chem 100, and the two A&P courses. I would focus on doing well in those courses first before worrying too much about the TEAS. Bio 151 and Chem 100 will cover a large portion of...

The online nutrition course at JJC is mostly a lot of busywork. There's only one teacher I know of that teaches it online and half your grade will come from discussion board postings. Make sure you understand her guidelines for how many posts/replies...

I'll share what I recall from taking the TEAS V in March, but it's very possible you'll see a different test than I did. From your list: Gas Laws - yes, I remember answering at least one question on these (maybe two) Tinctures and Emulsification - no...

If you're taking TEAS V, you don't need to know earth science. There were earth science questions on previous TEAS versions (and some schools still use TEAS IV, I believe), but there aren't any on TEAS V. On the form of the test I took in March there...

I'm taking Microbiology (blended course, with online content and twice weekly labs in the classroom) and Sociology. I'll only be on campus two days a week, but on those days I'll be there until 10pm. Glad the semester is only six weeks!

Pretty sure a C is all you need to graduate, though it might hold you up trying to get into a BSN or other degree program after JJC. I'm taking it over summer, along with sociology, and I'm nervous!

I think for the first 5-6 weeks clinicals are held in the skills classrooms, so I don't think that slot will be empty. Definitely ask someone at the office though. What clinical site are you going to? I'm at Villa Franciscan/St. Joseph's.

I'm not sure how long TEAS scores last; I suspect each institution makes up their own rules on that. However, I do think it's a good idea to take A&P before you take the test. I did my TEAS in March and there were a decent number of questions in ...

Just in case you can buy your own, Cherokee Workwear goes up to 5x and has larger measurements than some other brands. I needed white pants for my CNA class and they were thick enough that people were able to wear light gray leggings underneath witho...

Congrats! Isn't it a great feeling? Good look to all those still waiting - don't give up hope!

We had to wear white pants in my CNA class, and most of us ended up buying Cherokee Workwear because they seemed less see-through than some other brands. They're fairly thick - one girls wears light gray leggings under hers and you can't see them at ...

When I did my CNA course at JJC it didn't matter where we did a CPR class, so long as it was the one for healthcare providers. I would imagine it's the same for the nursing program. I was told by another student that the background check has to be do...

There was a PDF attached to the acceptance email. Times for the sessions and instructions for how to register are in there - day students have three times to choose from (not much variety though, as they all finish before registration at 3pm) and eve...

Congrats to you! I got my email today too, and will be in days. Have you signed up yet for the Getting Organized session before registration on April 27th? I like your idea of a circle of help, and I look forward to meeting other JJC students.

Congrats Emerald! I got in too, for days. So glad to finally know, and ready to move onto the next stage of the adventure that is nursing school!

I got a 92.7 composite score, 95 on reading (the two subscores that count for points at my school); my program hasn't sent out admission results yet. I'm feeling optimistic, but won't relax until I know for certain. Good luck to everyone else who is...

I'm taking micro this summer too. It's in a blended format, so I only have to go in two days a week to do the labs; everything else is done online. I would rather have taken it in a full-length semester, but the schedule just didn't work out that wa...

I don't think there is an online version of the ATI study guide, but other book stores do sell it. I ordered mine from Amazon and had it in two days (with Prime shipping). If you're willing to pay a bit extra for faster shipping, I'd think that an on...

From what I understand, last semester's average TEAS score was 79 composite and the average from the semester before that was 77. I don't know what the reading averages were. I'd say you have a pretty good shot of getting in. I'm waiting to hear too....
