I just wanted to start a thread for prospective students applying to UNCG's BSN program starting in Summer/Fall 2018! Has anyone else submitted their applications yet?
I'm not sure that having experience or not really matters, I know I mentioned it in my two short answer responses on the application but I know they are mainly looking at our overall GPA, pre-req grades and teas score. I would say being an EMT definitely helps as far as basic assessment skills in a pre hospital setting, plus I get to see some cool stuff and coordinate with nurses daily, but in terms for applying I'm not sure it helps much. I made an 86 on my teas on the first try, but I took it so late I couldn't retake it with enough time. I was told a mid 80's score would be preferred. Hopefully it's good enough, I was really hoping to get at least a 90. Fingers crossed!
I also don't have any CNA experience, but I have volunteered at a local hospital in a patient contact role. I surprisingly scored in the 99th percentile on the TEAS without much prep, but I have a "lower GPA" (around 3.6) so I hope they balance each other out.
I'm talking cumulative GPA, I think my pre-req GPA is a little higher but I don't know the exact number. Overall I have a 3.64 cumulative GPA and a 93.3 teas, so I'm also not so confident about getting accepted...
