RCC Spring 2019

Published

Hello all! I haven't seen a page for Spring 2019 hopefuls yet, so I'm creating this one. If anyone has any comments/concerns/questions please post!

To start: RCC is in the early stages of developing a concurrent BSN program starting estimated Fall 2019. From what I remember at the info session, it will be about $15k and done through either CSUF or CSUSB. They are hoping to have 50% concurrent enrollment initially, and 100% later on. They are supposed to be meeting later this year (October-ish) to discuss it. I'm excited to learn more! It's definitely worth keeping up on if any of you are interested in pursuing your BSN afterwards.

From my understanding, the concurrent BSN program won't be an option for the Spring 2019 cohort. I believe when it begins in Fall 2019 that you have to apply for it separately from the ADN program. Hopefully that makes sense. This is how it was explained to us who took NXN-84 in the Summer semester.

@sama34 I have a 3.6 science GPA so I'm anxiously waiting for the invite email to come in. I would go crazy if I had to wait almost 6 months to hear back from them. I'm already dying while having to wait 4-6 weeks for the TEAS invite. I've been studying my butt off for it so I'm praying to get a decent score on it. And thank you @morganashley for clearing that up.

I believe we should start posting points to see how the application pool is looking.

72 points with TEAS

73 points over here! I believe the cut-off last semester was 68 or 69 points. We'll see how our application period turns out!

penanko and sama34 -

Thanks for the reply. Can I ask what you guys used to study for the TEAS? I have been using the mometrix book and the ati teas book. Have you guys tried taking the ati practice test? I have been studying here and there but I got burnt out from information overload so I stopped. I am planning on taking the exam in 2 weeks. Any study tips?

Don't stop.

Smc_17: yesterday was the last day that they sent out the invites for the teas. I got mine at 5:01pm so all day I was thinking I wasn't going to get it. I'll post my points after I take the teas on Nov. 14th. I've personally been using the ATI study package and I love it!

I checked my RCC email today and I was invited to take the TEAS!

Did anyone else get an invite?

I already took the TEAS. I highly recommend the ATI study guide and the 2 practice tests! I also used the Kaplan study book and the ATI Teas app! I studied a little bit every day for about a month!

I applied with 73pts.

Wishing everyone the best of luck!
