I just started in the July Cohort and we are the first cohort with the new, higher TEAS score minimums. Everyone in my class scored in the 80's except one and she got a 79. I got an 87.3. While scores matter, they put a lot of emphasis on the interview.

I was jus trying curious if you applied? I have my panel interview this coming Friday and I am insanely nervous!

I have a 2nd degree theft felony in the state of Washington. My conviction was back in 2008 though so I've had a lot of time to research this subject area. Every state is different. In the Washington I am eligible for licensing and I pass a DSHS background check after 5 years from the date of conviction. But in the state of Arizona I couldn't ever enter into any of their nursing programs in a public school. None of the community college programs or the university programs. No felonies, EVER! and if I moved there and had my RN license in Washington and wanted to transfer it, I wouldn't be eligible for 5 years from the time I paid off my fines. So here I am, 9 years after conviction and I still couldn't be educated or licensed in the state of Arizona. When I was researching for programs in Washington though I contacted my BON and they had a very black and white rubric for which they decide whether to allow an applicant with a criminal record and my school just followed the same guidelines of the BON and the department of health and human services, which meant after 5 years I was eligible for everything! I currently hold a CNA license which has the exact same criminal records regulations in this state as an RN license holds so I know I can be licenses right now.

Aw I'm so excited for you! I can't wait to be at that point! Keep me updated on how it goes!

Thanks for all the info! Do you know how many points you had on their like point system? I'm really worried about that because I'll have 3 prereqs in process when I apply so they won't count towards my total points!

Hi! Just curious if you got in!?

Hi there! I'm surprised there haven't been more responses on here! I'm applying this fall for the winter/spring cohort at LCC. Your deadline is approaching pretty soon! How are you feeling?

I realize this post is old, but I'm in a similar position in Arizona right. Ow and I'm curious how long your conviction had been set aside before you were accepted in nursing school and where you ended up going?
