I am really hoping those numbers aren't accurate.

I definitely don't mind the idea of doing all my clinicals at one hospital. I got pretty excited when they mentioned Huntington since it is super close to home and I am already familiar with the hospital from being there all the time with the fire department. That being said, I am definitely worried about not getting into the program and ending up at South Nassau. I am already doing that commute for work now and it's horrific, lol. It is only one day a week though, so I guess I can't complain too much.

I picked up the ATI TEAS Study Manual from Nassau Community College. If you go to the NCC book store (assuming you're somewhat local and would like it ASAP) you can pick it up for about $60. If not, you can order it online. Just make sure you get the sixth edition. I used that to prep for the TEAS and felt it worked really well. It's split up by section and really outlines the little nuances of the test such as question wording. Then, at the end of each section there is a 40-50 question self grade quiz which is exam style questions to apply what you learned in that section. As for the timing, I gave myself a month to study for the TEAS. I finished the book in about 2 weeks, studying 1-2 hours/day. Once I had finished the book I just did tons of practice questions online. That did the trick for me, but again, that is just my personal experience with it. Regardless, as long as you study in some fashion, you should be more then fine!

SH4434, A 3.4 is definitely competitive! I had heard that Farmingdale weighs your TEAS scores and pre-req grades pretty heavily and doesn't look all that much at your overall GPA. If you can crush the TEAS you should be in a great position!

Ladies and Gentlemen, the jury has reached a verdict, I'm in! Congratulations to all who got accepted. See you at orientation

Hopefully it is a step in the right direction for you! Did you give admissions a call to see if they could explain what "prior conditions" refers to? Mine still says waitlisted... I need to stop checking, lol.

Looks like another weekend of wondering, Kim, lol. Urbac008, what did your status change to? Mine still says "Decision Made" and "Waitlisted" right underneath it.

I called last week and was told that they will begin mailing admissions letters the week of December 5th. It seems like its a different answer every time someone calls, lol. Hopefully the holidays come early for everyone!

Congratulations Kaptainkale! I'll say, those are some impressive numbers! I'm really hoping for Farmingdale since I am in the same boat as you. It's only about 25-30 minutes from home and a degree from Farmingdale will cost about the same as a year at LIU or Adelphi, lol. Have you heard anything back yet, KimMansfield?

Hello Everybody! I didn't see a discussion for the Farmingdale Spring 2017 class so I figured I would start one up! Just took my TEAS and came out with an 87.3, but my pre-reqs are what's worrying me. I graduated UMass Amherst back in Spring of 2014 with my BS in Kinesiology and decided after two years of working insurance, that it isn't for me. Came out of school with a 3.1 overall GPA because I was an idiot who liked to do more socializing then school work. Unfortunately it took 2 years of me working in the real world to realize that being a nurse is what I really want to do with my life. My pre-reqs are: A&P I & II - B+ in both (A in A&P I Lab and B+ in A&P II lab) Stat - C+ in general statistics, A- in Biostats (no idea what they'll take) Psych - B English - B I'm hoping someone can possibly give me some feedback based on previous experience? Thank you! Good luck to all

Hello Everybody! Just finished up my application for the spring semester (a little late, but better late then never) and figured I would jump in on all the fun here.
