Has anyone applied to SUNY RCC for nursing Fall 2022? I submitted all my forms for enrollment/nursing (I'll be transferring to this school) and even went to a Nursing Info Session at the school to find out more about the program. Seems to be a very competitive program to get into. I'm hoping my TEAS score is enough to get in since that is the only criteria.

So sorry guys I arrived at 9:45am on Monday's NSO, but I saw that everyone was already seated inside and I signed myself in and sat down. How are you all doing? I have my schedule for Fall semester now.

Oh also, I asked the nursing student that graduated how many hours she worked while in the program, and she said that she worked 10-15 hours a week. That might not be possible for me, but I'm trying to work out my work schedule with my manager.

sorry I never saw the alert that you commented. same here. when I arrived I couldnt ask around LOL all set with my schedule. excited and nervous at the same time LOL thanks for the heads up about the hours. Im trying to figure all of that out as well.

Congrats to those who were admitted to RCC.?? Does anyone mind sharing their TEAS score and how they prepared for if ? I’d appreciate it as I’m interested in applying in the Spring.

HI! I took the TEAS twice. First time was at home remote and I got a 75. my power went out and had all of these tech problems so I scheduled for in-person exam on campus about 2 weeks later and got a 83. the questions were different but not having all of the timing pressure of the tech difficulties was a relief. I bought the ATI test prep online version. I just kept reading and taking the practice exams. It scores you and then I would just focus on the areas that were not my strong points. I also looked up Youtube videos like craftmath for the math prep and Carolyn Mcallister for the English.

Good Luck!

It's okay!! Same here with the nervousness haha, I hope to see you this Fall semester though! I set all my classes up so that I have classes from Tuesday-Friday so we'll see how that works out. I took the NUR 103 calculations competency exam but didn't pass so I'm going to be taking NUR 103 in the Fall. I'm taking the NUR 103 course online. No problem, I realize that not everyone got to talk to the nursing student that graduated so I thought I'd share. 

I thought we were supposed to be updated the same week of Nursing NSO about the textbooks that they think we should purchase/start reading. I emailed the nursing department today to see if they have any updates on the textbooks. I just hope that they answer within this week because I want to see how the topic distribution will look in those textbooks.

Thank you! I got a 79.3% on the TEAS. This was my second attempt at the exam. The first time I took the TEAS I got a 75.3% but that was about three years ago. I honestly did not think that the score I got was good enough to get in, but I sure am glad I made it! My weakest area was reading and English language usage. I think with the time constraints and me being unfamiliar with taking the exam online, I wasn't in the right headspace. I took multiple practice tests. I used the mometrix book as well as free resources I found online through the ATI TEAS facebook group. I found it helpful to use the mometrix book because there was feedback on the rationales for the correct answers and why other answers were considered wrong. I also used resources like Carolyn McAllister (English/reading), science with Susanna, and Brandon Craft (math). 

I think that your best method would be to take a practice test to see where you stand with certain topics and then work from there. I would say practice time management, because that was something that I struggled with a lot during the exam. I only had about two weeks to study with working two jobs. It was very stressful but manageable.

Hi guys.

So for the TEAS I scored 70. So do not fear. I was surprised when I got accepted.   I used the TEAS study guide from ATI for like 3 weeks and then stopped studying it.

Yes I am mon-Thursday and will be taking the calculations class online as well. Im glad you mentioned that you reached out about the text book b/c it was on my to-do list for today! I really need to know so I can order and start reading a bit ahead. I felt like there were a few things from NSO that they were supposed to follow-up with in an email LOL I need to go through that list now and see if I need to reach out about anything.

Oh also did you submit all your required paperwork for clinical(s)? I submitted all of them: health forms, AHA CPR certification, criminal history background check, urine drug screening, covid vaccinations. I never received a confirmation that everything has been received but I'm guessing everything should be okay if they haven't emailed me about my documents.

When I took this class I purchased the book and used it maybe 3 or 4 times. It helped but the professor sends practice questions and answers…also PowerPoints. There is no homework or meeting times for online. Just 2 exams and a final I believe. You must score a grade 80 if I’m not mistaking to pass. Every semester moving forward you will have a calculations test and the passing score goes up 5 points every semester. For testing purchase a basic calculator. They are like $2. It cannot have more than 20-22 buttons. No graphing calculator or fancy stuff allowed. Be careful with the conversion values in the book because they are different from RCC. Your Proffesor will send you their conversion values.
