Since you technically passed you will be able to take A&P2 and then you can take A&P1. So to be considered into the nursing program you will need to pass all your core classes with a c+ or better. Since the class aren't really related in terms of what you should know when going into A&P2 i don't think you would have an issue.

They forgot to give us the second page. I don't think the school is prepared for us on January . I mean come on we don't even know which days we will have our clinical yet. What you picked on the WCC website is not what you will get. See you guys on campus.

Orientation was awesome. Seems like we have people from all part of NY. The best thing is we only have to go in 2 days a week so it shouldn't be that bad. What i don't understand is why is there like 2-3 guys in the class. I thought the Nursing field WANT MORE GUYS, at this rate that will never happen.

I am going to have to disagree with you on this one. Because i know if there wasn't an English section i would get 99++ percentile. A lot of people who are trying to get in the nursing program can't seem to get over the English section. The day i went to take my Teas everyone were freaking out about the english section in general. All the damn answer seems right to me lol..

Do they not refill the seat? It wouldn't be any good for them to keep a vacant seat open at the start of a semester. I mean if you're half way through, then that would be understandably.

You can't really "Fail" the TEAS. Let's say 30 people get the highest score in the 50's(which is technically failing) they will still get in. Also remember a lot of those students probably didn't make it because we were chosen by the nursing department(getting the call) to see if we're interested so seats were limited. I don't think anyone can free-ride the nursing program without working for it. There are going to be times when you want to give up but you have to look past that and put the effort in(even if that means less partying,going out etc). Less than a week to go, honestly i am really interested to see who will be my fellow classmates for 2 years! ~I know none of us know each other and all, but it would be awesome if we could form some sort of study group to reflect on stuff we might be tested on etc~

If you don't feel like going in campus just to ask a few questions, i suggest you call them and ask. I believe fall 2014 session will be able to signup during march, but since they changed some of the sessions around, i am not 100% sure. Good luck.

That's the spirit! Don't make the same mistake i did with waiting for the last minute. There is a class that prepare you for the Teas, i suggest you take it. My biggest problem was i worked 12 hours a day except sundays and i felt so burned out i didn't even want to look at the book. The hardest part is to get in, once you do you're set. If you need to ask any questions about the Teas please don't hesitate, I wish you the best of luck!:)

I don't believe they base it on your GPA. The lady who proctor the Teas said "After everyone have taken the Teas, i am going to compile a list starting with the highest score to the lowest." Which leads me to believing that they are only picking students who score above the rest and is not dependent on GPA. However if you have let's say a 90 on the Teas and a GPA of 2...Then i don't even think you qualify for the nursing program. Remember there are some classes that you need to take them within x amount of years and if that time has passed you'll need to retake those classes, for example i believe A&P needs to be taken within 6 years of completing the nursing program for it to even count. They might for example look at your GPA from your core prereqs like Pharm,micro,a&p etc...But we have no way of knowing and when you do ask when signing up for the teas, the lady always say "They don't know.." You now stand a better chance of getting in since they are now offering a winter/fall class. Study, study and study and you'll get in. Good luck!

Yea mine changed since the 29th. So are you guys ready for OCT 4th?

I am a bit worried that mine doesn't say anything to do with Nursing. Glad you sent yours in, i don't want to be that person that gets kicked out because of a letter When you guys had to pick a major did you pick nursing? I was venturing into another major until i changed so mine shows what i was previously interested in. This is what mine says... Program: Math, Comp, etc. 2011-01-13: Active in Program 2011-01-13: Networking Major

Did you guys send back in the letter we had to check? Hopefully it gets there without getting lost.

The only bad thing about morning class is majority of students say they are not the "morning type." Fortunately for me i much rather having morning class/lab. What i am going to do is study/read daily so before an exam i don't have to cram everything at the same time. A study group is a must for nursing if people actually study/exchange ideas/questions.

I got mine in the mail July 5th. See you guys in orientation OCT 4th.

Congrats on your acceptance. I didn't get my letter yet again(sigh). I wonder if this has to do with where you live from the school(I am in the Bronx)...I however did get the call from the 7909 number so i am not gonna stress myself out over it.
