Hello and welcome to the site! I applied and am just doing the waiting game now. What did you score on your TEAS exam? I am hoping and praying to get accepted. I am doing the same route as you. LPN to RN and then for myself, end goal as a Nurse Practitioner. Hopefully we will get the chance to meet in class along with everyone else that has been replying in this posting

Well I took my teas test missed it by 1 point so frustrated dumb mistakes did better on science and math andforgot how to read. Maybe next time......

@determined, when can you retake it agian? And is there still time to apply for one of the other programs such as evenings and weekends? I really hope you stick with it and try again until you succeed!

I am going to continue to try I will try the tcc program. Also this was my 2nd time so I have wait now. It is so depressing.

Don't let this get you down!!! If you want something bad enough you will get it just keep your head up!!!

The waiting process sucks!!! They told me we would know mid to late Sept. My bday is Sept 24 and I am so scared of getting a denial letter for my bday!!!!

I'm not I am actually looking up new programs now to see what others have to offer

Do not do Medical Careers Institute!!!! It is way over charged and a lot of places will not hire graduates from MCI!!! There students do clinicals at my job and they all hate it and wish they didn't start that program. There LPN is like 15 months. I know there RN program is almost 50k if not more now. Look into maybe Thomas Nelson, I believe they have a program and New horizons does too but I know you have to have the whole tuition up front for them.

Has anyone received any feedback on acceptance or not into Riverside yet? I was told letters should be coming out soon but mail here in Hawaii can be SLOOOWW..... LOL.

Nope. I live about 10 minutes from the school and I have not yet received a letter. Hopefully soon! The wait is killing me!

I haven't heard anything either..they told me mid to late september..hopefully we will know soon.
