See, I never know with the TEAS if people are talking about their raw percentages, or the percentile against the national/program.

Here's my raw percentages: Reading 88.1% - Math 86.7% - Science 89.6% - English 83.3% (Total 87.3%)

And then my percentile ranks: Reading 92 - Math 88 - Science 99 - English 94 (Total 98)

I have a 3.75 Science GPA and an overall 3.5 GPA.

I'm really biting my nails until the letters come. o.O

my raw scores are math 93.4, reading 95.7, science 85.7, english 86.5. 88.7 overall 99th percentile overall. 3.75 science gpa and 3.8 overall gpa@lolcoro it's quite alright, it has happened to the best of us. Let us know when you calculate it.@the antichick your scores and gpa are awesome, you should be just fine. there can't be 130 people with 4.0 and high teas scores out of 375, especially with bev saying the teas scores are mostly in the 60's and 70's

Also, I know I'm stressing over nothing, but does anyone know for sure how the registration works? It says you can't register until your CPR card is in the RNng office, and it says that you self register for the classes. I have to keep working while in school (yeah, I know, but that's the way it is) and while my employer is going to bend over backwards with my schedule, there's a couple of options in the schedule I see that would make it SO MUCH easier on me, but it's the Sat/Sun clinicals, and the other two classes on Tuesday. Something tells me these will be in high demand.

I usually have to sit up until 12:30am on registration day in order to get the classes I need, and the servers are jammed. I'm stressing about not being able to get the schedule I need. :(

im opposite, i would want weekends off if possible bc those are the best money days for me, of course ill be able to do whatever tho. dont worry too much, my friends in the program now and its pretty half and half she said on when people need to be in school and work, but no i dont know about the cpr thing, i was told the first semester they make your schedule for you,and you can switch with someone. but im not sure. still just hoping i get in=/

Anybody else having anxiety thinking about the prospect of getting that letter and what it might say. It could change your life; this process has consumed my thoughts

Also, does anyone know the possible schedules available. If it is possible I would like all my school related activities to start at 2pm or later. Of course I would do what i need to, but having a wife and two wonderful boys I would like to keep working as many hours as possible; I currently work mornings.

It sounds like all of you have great chances at getting in!

Unfortunately, I was misinformed by the Nursing Department regarding my math placement test and am being forced to reapply in the Spring for Fall admission. :sniff:

I wish you all luck at acheiving your dreams of attending Nursing School!

Dreamer,

Keep your head up, January is only less than two months away. Everything happens for a reason.

I agree with Loly, I finished my bachelors before I was sure I wanted to be a RN as opposed to Med school or something else. I needed that time to mature as a student and allow my family life to stabalize. Now I believe I am in the best position to succeed

Thanks guys! I do believe in my heart that everything happens for a reason, and my faith allows me to stay strong knowing there is a plan for my life. I'll be honest, it's still hard though. But, I am still an Alternate for Weatherford, so there's always still hope there. And if I don't get into Nursing School in January, I truly feel like I'm being told to take some time off to rest. Being a wife, full time employee and student is starting to take its toll. There are a few advantages to me not starting NS until August, so I will continue to look at the bright side! Let me know when you guys get your letters!! Last Fall they were received by students around the 15th...so you could know your fate in as little as a week!! GOOD LUCK!!
