There is no TEAS for SPC's RN program.

Considering the higher GPA requirements, I'd assume it levels out.

Tomorrow is the 6 day mark (if you count the day itself). Things just stepped up to a new level of hell for me. Classes are getting crazy busy in the final push for the semester. Work is work it never changes. I also have a family member who is out of state that got quickly moved from hospital to hospice in the span of 5 days and it's not looking like she will be with us much longer.

Finding out will be bitter sweet it appears. Celebrations will be delayed for me :(

Keep the good vibes going! If you get in.. celebrate and try not to be scared for the next step of your education. Embrace the challenge!!! If you did not get in, try not to be disappointed. You only fail when you give up. If you don't get in use the semester to get courses done for your AS or some other supplementary courses (depending on your completion ratio). Don't forget to apply again for the spring intake!! Never give up - we all will be nurses (and darn good ones) when the time is right for us!

I had last minute applied to a LPN program and may consider doing that and then a LPN to RN bridge program if SPC denies me.

I'm not sure about the other schools, but SPC recently changed (or are soon changing) their requirements for the bridge program to include 1 year of recent LPN experience. There are so many students using the bridge route now, that requiring recent experience weeds out lesser qualified candidates.

Good luck, guys. I know the wait is torture.
