Thomas Nelson Fall 2015 Applicants

[heagon83]

I am in the middle of my application process to Thomas Nelson's RN program. I take my TEAS V on Tuesday the 17th. I am just looking for others who are in the same boat as me who want to share anxieties, study tips, any thoughts about the program and hopefully meet new friends that will join me in the program in August!

I did make it into the program! A little over a month has gone by already since we started. It is very competitive, yes. They get about 150 applications alone from people who qualify for the program, and narrow that down to about 50 or 60 students.

Where are you considering pursuing your degree?

I'm taking classes at the Hampton campus so would like to attend there for the program as well. I'm in 142 right now and have Microbio next semester... Then my prereqs will be complete! But I am really so uncertain and worried about it all. Everyone says how difficult and stressful nursing school is. And I'm getting really freaked out about all the responsibilities of a nurse. I don't know if I can handle being the difference between life and death for patients! Do you feel the program will really prepare you, or is that something I should already be comfortable with?

I'm at the Hampton campus as well :)!

It is very difficult and stressful, absolutely. But, not impossible.

You really have to know why you want to be a nurse and use that as your drive for everything you do.

The program does it's best to prepare you, but with some things you really just have to go through the experience to learn to cope with it better.

So I took my TEAS on Friday and had to come back to this thread. I scored in the 94th percentile. I really hope that's good enough for the program!! When did you all get your letters?
