I did not see a thread for the fall 2015 semester at Suffolk. I guess the biggest news this year is the new requirement of the TEAS V test. There was no mention of it at the last nursing information meeting last spring, but luckily I caught the information early in the fall and had plenty of time to study. Unfortunately, it seems like many people in my AP2 class were not so lucky; one person just found out monday and now has two weeks to take the test.
I'm hoping we can share some info in this thread. When I went to the nursing information seminar in September, they said they that you had to score at least proficient on the test in order to be considered. My lab partner went to one last week and they told her that the TEAS score would now weigh more heavily than your GPA. For me this poses an interesting situation. My pre req grades are:
Eng- A
Psych- A
AP1-A
AP2- final on monday but should be an A
My score on the teas- 74% proficient.
I was always told through information seminars (I went to a ton...) that your GPA was most important. I worked hard and at the beginning of this semester was very excited that my GPA would make my chances of getting in very high...but if this info about the TEAS taking presidence over your GPA, all that hard work may have been for nothing. But I think we all know how notorious this school can be with misinformation.
I have to wait until 4/21 to register. I'm in Ammerman day program. I called the program and the registrar to find out if there's anything I can do to register sooner. Both said there's nothing they can do. I hate waiting and watching classes get filled up :-/

i feel your pain. I need to get into certain sections that don't conflict with my job...
Kind of off topic, but does anyone know the minimum passing grade for microbiology? I heard C and C+.
This what I found in the student handbook:
"Students must achieve a minimum grade of C†in each nursing and science course. Please refer to the SchoolNursing Student Policy Manual and College catalog for additional information. "
If anyone here has any questions about Suffolk's nursing program, or working in Suffolk when you're done with school, feel free to E-mail me. [email protected]
I graduated from Suffolk in May of 2013, Got a hospital job in June of 2014, And finished my BSN in October of 2014. I went to the day and night programs, failed a class, failed the Nclex once and then worked at 2 nursing homes for less than 2 months each to hopscotch into a hospital job. I coached a friend through the pre-reqs and what not and he got accepted first shot. He will be starting the fall 2015 program next month. Good luck everyone!!
