ooops... The other one had 2011 instead of 2012... let's try this again:
Just thought I would start a new thread for the current application cycle. Questions... stats... rumors... etc!
My question is... for those applying this cycle, how did you do on the TEAS V? Since this is the first year they are using this test, it would be nice to see how everyone is doing.
(Please don't post TEAS 3 or TEAS 4 results, as the scores are NOT comparable with the TEAS V.)
Pharm is used 3 semesters, med/surg all 4, fundamentals mostly 101 but also throughout for reference, psych all 4, peds I think is more than one semester. It's not a new stack if books each semester. I started buying those recommended books before I talked to other students ahead if me - expensive mistake. If you join the SNA and attend meetings its a great way to chat with upper classman and pick their brain, what's left of it.
I spoke to the nursing advisor at CCC also. He said we do not need to fill out a transfer of credit form or anything. He said that right now, the registrar is only concerned about figuring out spots as people hand in their letter of intent to attend so that they can address the waiting list. They also aren't going any further in assessing transcripts that figuring out who has what co-reqs for the fall semester. He said they'll be doing it by semester as we go through the program not all at once. When they assessed our transcripts for admission to the program, they only looked at the admission requirements and entered those in, not all the applicable classes (including co-reqs) off the transcript. I'm not sure if other colleges are doing it differently.
I'm glad you asked about the flu shot, that makes total sense. Also, just so everyone knows (it wasn't written on our acceptance letters) Health Forms and the statement that goes with them do not go to registrar, they go to the secretary of the nursing department.
Oh and Saramisu, I was trying to register online for English 102 to get my last co-req out of the way over the summer, but it wouldn't let me. So I spoke with an advisor at CCC today and he told me that was because none of our transcripts would be entered "into the system" until we have our letters in. I thought that was really strange because I was under the impression that unless they had our transcripts entered in the system we wouldn't have even been eligible to get into the program... but apparently not. The admissions people gave me incorrect information twice, so I definitely recommend meeting w/ an advisor face to face or maybe try emailing one - I've never had any luck calling.
hi imzjackson
i also have been accepted at norwalk for spring 2013. it is a great program! My dad and my best friend graduated with their nursing degrees from there. i do know the instructors expect a lot from the students and for clinical exams the students are given three chances to perform the skill they are asked. Hope this helps!
did you get an email about not getting the immunization done right now.
thanks
@CNAnursingstudent: yea, I was gonna say it's the 25th! I am going to sign up for the 8.30am class...don't really care which one, but I'd prefer the 8.30am. Did your major change already? Did anyones major change at NVCC? Noreen isn't there until Tuesday, I doubt we can sign up until she changes our major. Mine didn't change yet either. Let me know please :)
