Shelton State 2015 Fall Hopefuls

Published

Just wondering if there is anyone else out there who will be applying to Shelton. Has anyone heard about their program and how competitive it is. I will be applying with 195 points. Hope this enough to get in. Also applying to Jeff State but I really want to go to Shelton. Would really like to hear from other hopefuls.

Hello NSM2012. Have you heard anything about Sheltons nursing program? I don't know anyone that has went there so never heard anything about them. I did have someone tell that they heard it was hard and that the instructors were very harsh. I know its not going to be easy so I am trying to prepare myself now for it. I have finished all my pre-reqs so I am just waiting for the Fall. I plan on enjoying this Summer with my kids because I don't know where I will be next Summer. (Hopefully in nursing school still :nailbiting:) Good luck on the retaking of your Teas. Have you scheduled a new date?

I not really heard anything bad about the program really. Mostly that it's hard to get into. A couple of people I know that has graduated say that its a good program. I really need to do well on this TEAS. I'm shooting for at least 115 pts. I plan on taking Micro this summer so wish me luck! Taking the TEAS at the end of April.

Yes I applied today I have 206 points if I calculated correctly..I heard that around 176 was the magic number last Fall. I do know that acceptance letters will be out by the 26th of July. I have 3 friends that graduated from Shelton's nursing program; and 1 wrapping up her 1st semester now as I type. I have only heard good things they are tough but a good nursing program non the less Good Luck to all! í ½í¸Ž

Thank you good luck to you as well. I'm retaking the TEAS on May 18th. I'm shooting for 115-120 points. You have a good number of points! I won't have micro. I'm taking that this summer. I really hope that doesn't hurt me. I'm praying and claiming my spot though.

Good luck nsm2012 on your upcoming test. I went to the nursing informational meeting yesterday and while I was there turned in my transcript verification form. The meeting was pretty much of everything they have on the internet about the program. I really want to go to Shelton but I think I am going to have a problem with getting to clinicals on time. I have two little ones and schools and daycares don't open til 6. I am also applying to Jeff State and there clinicals start between 8 and 8:30. Jeff States deadline is the 12th of this month, so I guess if I don't get in there then I will decide what I will do about Shelton. I am still going to apply so I guess we will see. Good luck to everyone applying. These next two months are going to go by so slow since we are waiting.

Specializes in Med/Surg and LTC.

I'm applying too and I applied to both the LPN and RN program. I'm nervous because I only have 130 something points from my calculations but I am going to call and see what my points are tomorrow. I have 160 something for the LPN so hopefully I get into one. Lord willing I will. Really disappointed I didn't have Microbiology to figure in...the wait is killing me!!!
