    I'm glad you heard 4-6 weeks, because I was told 'hopefully 6 weeks' and they're going to 'try hard to have them out by 6 weeks'. Lol theres so many ways to take this

    RjSmithTec replied to Zackaroni's topic in Virginia Nursing

    Zack - I completely understand, it does seem like there a lot of people in the mid 80s and above! However, this could be due to confirmation bias. We doubt our scores naturally, so when someone is...

    I just took 13 credit hours in 4 classes while working full time in corporate America. Between commuting and working, I spend at least 50 hours a week on work. I managed to get all A's but I was...

    The diversity in the program will be interesting. Just between us three, one has to work, the other has to quit, and I'm not sure which route to

    RjSmithTec replied to Zackaroni's topic in Virginia Nursing

    You mean a busy few years, haha. I have the choice to continue working full time at my corporate job and save the money, or just focus on school without the additional income. I'm not sure what to do...

    I'm sure there will be an update in SIS, such as it allowing us to enroll, when now it states we need the departments consent. Great question! Out of curiousity, will you guys be working throughout...

    I emailed the applications director for any possible update, and received the typical, copy and paste 'as stated in the printed information and information session letters will go out in six weeks'...

    I'm 26 -- soon to be 27 in 3 months. Close enough! Just applied for an RN program with strong scores after spending the last year and a half on prereqs. Hope its all worth it! Nice to see 30+'ers...

  13. TEAS vs Kaplan Entrance Exam

    RjSmithTec replied to RjSmithTec's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Thank you sarasipe and RubySlippers06! I appreciate the feedback. It's still hard to believe that a 69 is average, that seems so very low to

    RjSmithTec replied to Zackaroni's topic in Virginia Nursing

    I've been doing research on the Kaplan. It seems to be similar to the TEAS, and our scores are high for both tests. I am almost certain that both of you are in. I'm right below you so we'll

    RjSmithTec replied to RubySlippers06's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  16. How long did it take you to do your prerequisites?

    RjSmithTec replied to carys's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    RjSmithTec replied to Zackaroni's topic in Virginia Nursing

    My scores: Math 94, Reading 93, Writing 73, Science 60. I'm surprised how difficult science was. I did well in AP 1 & 2, yet struggled with Kaplan science. Writing was annoying, but not too bad,...

    RjSmithTec replied to Zackaroni's topic in Virginia Nursing

    I was told the cutoff was 69... But I haven't seen a single student with anything less than an 80 so far. Perhaps I've only talked to those that are getting an acceptance letter ; ) post back here...
