Hey lmnz3jr I hope to apply this fall as well with a 3.38 GPA in the prereqs. I also have an associates and have all classss completed but have not taken the teas yet. I'm really nervous...
Sounds like your in the same boat as me. I do know that they look at the teas score first before anything so study the ati manual to a T. Let me know your score when u take it. I wish u good luck

I'll also be applying to the fall 2015 program, both the generic and transition. My program specific gpa is 3.66 overall is 3.53 and I scored 77.3 on the teas. I also have an Associate's degree. I'm so nervous about applying.
I think you should be fine, this is my second time applying. I didn't get in last time because I didn't have a degree and a lot of people who applied for that semester did. I'm sure we both have a high chance of getting in. They do take 20 extra people as subs and they usually take most of them. I'm sure our chances are high so don't stress
I hope so. I think I should be able to get accepted into one of the programs. When did you apply?
I applied for January but i didn't get in. Since then though, I finished my A.A degree, boosted up my GPA, and brought up my Teas score. I applied for polk and south floridas nursing program, but I've taken all my classes at polk so I want to get in there. I don't want to put all my cookies in one jar though if u know what I mean, I wanted options. Sign up for fall is May 15th so I'm waiting though. Everyone from the area
Fingers crossed, for this term. And yes, May 15-30.

I just submitted my application on Thursday! Fingers crossed! I have completed my AA, took all pre-reqs that they recommended you take before the program (micro, etc) and my GPA is 3.18. My TEAS score was an 80 so hopefully this is enough to get in!! I'm so nervous!
I think u r pretty safe. We r almost in the same boat but your teas is a bit better. They look at that a lot. I Have my fingers crossed to with ya. R u transferring or have u been at Polk? Did u apply anywhere else?
I hope so!!
I have been at Polk in the past, but I transferred from Polk to Valencia in Spring 2014 to finish my AA and it took me a year to finish it and get all my extra pre-reqs for the Nursing program. Valencia accepts all applicants who meet their Nursing pre-req requirements, but on the downside there is a 2 year waiting list for the RN program and I don't have two years to wait around. So technically I'm transferring back to Polk. I did not apply anywhere else, all my eggs are in this basket so I am definitely hopeful!

Hey guys, I applied with a 3.60 gpa and got a 75 on the teas test. I also have an associates degree. I'm actually applying early and don't plan on starting until the spring term, however, because I still have to take a&p2 and microbiology this fall.
Right now I'm just waiting for that acceptance letter to come in the mail- hopefully we all get in!
