Unless something has majorly changed...in my orientation the determining factors for entrance into the program are: points and WHEN the application is turned in. So If I'm tied with someone and they turned their application in before me, they would get the spot, classes left have nothing to do with it.

No! There are several different state approved programs, one of them is offered at Wake Tech. Wake Tech will accept any of these. Wake Tech actually emailed me a list of other programs. Basically they are longer, you get your CPR license (I got mine separate,) and you work with patients. Or you can do what I did, take any course, to teach you what you need to pass. I did not have the time for the state approved courses. Once I passed I did have to get the 40 hours working as a CNA, you cannot volunteer anywhere as this is a liability risk and possible law suit for any facility. If you do a CNA state approved program you do not have to worry about working 40 hours. I did in home care 2 hours a night for 4 weeks to get my hours. This is changing…effective for anyone applying to get in the nursing program for 2017 if you are not already a CNA they will require you to do a state approved program.

CN_2bRN919, I took a 2 wknd CNA course, literally 4 days, total of 16 hours which taught me all the skills. I was also given a book and a sheet with about 500 questions which also had the answers to the questions and I had no issues passing. I will look to see if I still have the sheet and answers, if so I will let you know and email it to you. It's more common sense stuff than anything on the written exam.

Thanks! Jpeters247 I had all A's except in Nutrition I got a B and Bio 168 I got a C. I am going to get a part time job working 15 hours a week but no more than that. On my Teas I scored 75, so I received 6 points.

Thanks CN_2bRN919!! I did not apply last July to start Spring 2016 as I wanted the grades I received during my summer classes of 2015 to count, again not going to be an issue for anyone taking classes this summer. I waited to apply in January of this year.

Your are most welcome CN_2bRN919! I just received my acceptance letter to start this fall í ½í¸† If you have any more questions, let me know!

Hi, Jerseyjade! I just received my acceptance letter for fall 2016, yaay!! Can you provide some pointers for NUR 111? Also, is working a part time job realistic and still do well in the program?

If I remember correctly last year grades were posted by the 26th. I would think it safe to assume that they can pull them up internally right away but again this is the first year they have pushed the application date back, last year it was July 1st, so summer grades did not count till fall application (my case) so an advisor would know best.

Closer to late July...you will only have a few days to get your application turned in.

Effective this year they have moved the application date for Spring back so summer classes can count towards the application. I took Bio 169 last summer, Bio classes are one session, so 12 weeks. I took it with Peter Kalogerins and got an A. He wants you to pass and do well!! Good Luck.
