I was chosen to be an alternate. Not an absolute "no", but still, not a yes either. I applied only at the community college I did my pre-req's at, and they got around 400 or so applications this semester, but only accept 48 students. I am going to ca...
I have to say, after this semester, I am thrilled that at this accomplishment! I was hospitalized the second week of classes this semester due to bipolar meds needing to be adjusted, then I missed two weeks in a row the last month of classes for an e...

I wish TCC looked at more than just GPA and HESI scores. I just got my letter congratulating me on making the Dean's List. Super excited about it, but it stinks it won't help me get in to the program, you know? TallyMom, I heard it's already ofver 50...
I have a gpa of 3.25, and scored 90.5 on the HESI today. With the extra points our shcool gives, my total score is ONLY 127, with 160 being top score possible. The school only accepts 40 students per semester, and there are already between 300 - 400 ...

Our dedline was Monday, so I have along wait in front of me. They say to allow 4 - 8 weeks for a response....Trying to stay -positive. Good luck all who are waiting, and congrats to those who already got in! GirlDotson
Wow! You were so close! Is there a way to see what areas you need to work on? IF so start there. Any areas you know you were weak in, definitely go back and do some extra work there. I wish you the best of luck!!! GirlDotson
As it turns out, I miscalculated my scores, and I have 142 out or 160. I am happier with that. I still may not get in, but at least I know I did MY best. As far as the second time around, it was exactly the same test. I thought they would change it....
I am applying to Tallahassee Comunity College for the Fall 2012 semester. My GPA is 3.25. Here are my HESI scores: Grammar - 92 Reading Comp. - 88 Math - 92 Vocab - 94 Now, I know you get an additional 5 points added to each A, and 3 points added to ...
Just an update I retook the HESI today, adn I did score better, but I am afraid my overall scores will not make the cut when they start going through applicants. This time I scored as follows: Grammar - 92 Reading - 88 Math - 92 Vocab - 94 With my co...
Oh, happy day! Oh, happy day! I have finished my pre-req's! I am going next week to take the HESI exam. I'm a pretty nervous, but looking forward to finishing the last step. Man, this has been a ride!

I just finished all my pre-req's. I go this coming week to take the HESI. I have the evolove Study Guide, and so far, I feel pretty good about it. There are definitely some things I need to brush up on, but I feel pretty good about it all-in-all. My ...

Thanks, y'all! Yes, I will post my HESI results. From what I understnd, it is more basic knowledge than the TEAS is. I olny have to take Math, Reading, Vocab, and Grammar. I am a little concerned about the math, as I sort of stink at fractions and ...
I got an effing 67 on my anatomy & physiology I lecture mid-term. I studied so freaking hard! I worked with my study group (they both made B's), made flashcards, read and re-read my lecture notes, and re-listened to the lectures that I had record...
Just curious if anyone knows the difference between the two. I attempted the TEAS last year in an attempt to get into Keizer's nursing program before deciding to go to the local community college and failed miserabley. I had a few books to study, but...
GirlDotson replied to GirlDotson's topic in Pre-Nursing
I went in with almost no foundation to go off of when I took the TEAS. I got the study guides, paid for the online practice tests, googled every other study guide I could find, and studied (w/a tutor) for two months before I took it, and still, I fai...

Make your own flashcards. Print out pictures of each kind of muscle/cells and paste them on one side of an index card. On the other side, HANDWRITE the corresponding information on the back. Literally, when you have aspare minute, go over the cards....

I wish my instructor used cadavers....or something other than bones and plaster models, lol. For me, I am very hands on. I like to be in it up to my eyeballs. I am so interested in everything we are doing in lab, psych, and nutrition, I am flying th...

I am taking A&P 1 an d Lab right now, and I love lab, but lecture is killing me. I have aphysiology instructor that does not focus on anatomy at all. I have a 96 total in lab, but an 85 in lecture. We have our mid-term in lect. next Friday, and ...
Get a study partner or partners. I was able to connect with two students (both parents and married) to study with, and it has made a WORLD of difference!
