I thought it might be nice to have a place for us to vent our frustrations with waiting until May 30th or so when letters start going out. I know I'm going nuts already!
How about introductions and a little info about each person?
I'm applying to both Bloomington and Indy-Lawrence for the Fall 2009 ASN programs. I turned in my apps this week with 4 As on the pre-reqs and a 90.0 on the TEAS. My eventual goal is at least getting a BSN, and if I feel like doing homework long enough, an MSN of some sort. I work full time now, but will hopefully only work part time if I get accepted. I'm so antsy to start preparing and finally feel like all of this is real!
Well, took my last TEAS today. Got 88.8. Had an 88.2 last time, so didn't bring it up much. Turned in my application and now I'm DONE, nothing left to do but wait! :) I guess that gives me 211.8/223 total, assuming I can keep my A in 102. Anyone know if they round TEAS scores up? Oh, the waiting........
I know that Indy rounds the number up. So you'll have an 89 in Indy. The nursing secretary told me that. Columbus said they do NOT round up. 88.9 is pretty darn close to 90 so I would consider yourself as having a 90!!
Good Job!!! You got a great score!! Be glad you took it at Lawrence today b/c...
My friend just took the Teas in bloomington today and the server went down right in the middle of doing Math!!!! She lost almost 15 mins while the servers were down and when they came up she didn't get her time back on the test! The timer had counted those 15 mins while the system was down. She had to skip through and answer the last one as fast as she could. She tried talking to ppl about it but she is likely not going to be able to retake it.
Thanks, Brea. The server went down at Indy, too. I had already finished but my friend told me about it. That's good to know that Indy rounds up. Wonder how many people are applying, it seems like everyone in existence! There was a line outside the nursing office to turn in applications and a waiting list of at least 30 people waiting to take the TEAS when I finished. I got there at 10:15 and they were already full. Craziness. I only applied to ASN at Lawrence and nothing else, so I hope I did good enough to get in.
I really think you will be fine! I can't imagine 119 ppl doing better than an 89 on it. but we'll see!!! my friend said there was a long wait @ bloomington for the Teas also.
Oh man, I can't believe the server went down like that! I would have probably passed out from stress at that point! It sounds like you've got a really good application Melissa, I bet you'll get in :)
She said she went and got that Nursing lady, I forget her name, and she put a call into ATI but are awaiting a reply about it. Nobody else in the room at the time complained except my friend. 2 ppl she talked to said they didnt care about it. Shoot, I would have cared!! My friend certainly cares.
ok, so i just turned in my ASN application after much back and forth about whether or not to do so. im applying to sellersburg and only have 195 pts. i got a B in english about 6 yrs ago and am set to retake it this summer. i just figured why not try! maybe ill get suuuuper lucky and get in without having to retake english. well good luck to everyone!!!
It must have been ATI itself that went down. I just tried to go to their website and none of it works right now. I feel badly for people who were going to take it yesterday or today before the deadline and can't!
