Wake Tech ADN Fall 2015

U.S.A. North Carolina

Published

I am applying to the Fall 2015 nursing program and was wondering if anyone else was applying. I also wanted to know what points you have, I just want to estimate my chances of getting in for the Fall. I know the Fall semester is always harder to get in at Wake Tech. I am also applying to other programs as well just because I feel like I will be put on the wait list at Wake Tech. :arghh: Just feeling anxious.

What did they change about the teas points? Are the rest of the points the same?

Omg! so what would be the points required to enter into the program? It sounds like will be very difficult to get into the nursing program from now on.... Unless they adjusted the points given for each credit earned.

I'm not sure about the points given for each letter grade. I guess that would be shared in the information session. The info I posted before about the TEAS exam was from the Wake Tech nursing program section.

As long as you can do well enough on the teas to get the full points, it should actually benefit you but the point numbers to be accepted won't be as high. It really sucks for me because my teas results are now invalid since I took them 3.5 years ago (where before the cutoff was 5).

They've been taking the highest score.

Has anyone purchased their books outside of Wake Tech? Maybe individually on Amazon or some other place? I'm comparing prices on Amazon to the $1100 "bundle" pack they're telling us to get at Wake Tech and it seems to be double in price. Unless, I'm missing something??? I was given quite a few nursing books, but it looks like only two are on the list for our program. \

Hi Nola,

the difference is that the bundle comes with electronic version of the books and includes the clinical simulation for the entire nursing program.

I purchased books already. I'm gonna get the e book of the peds book we need. I paid $908 for the bundle and they come with the simulation codes you can't get anywhere else. I bought my drug guide for $30 off half.com. It's like an eBay for textbooks so you don't pay tax on the books. Just shipping. It's brand new with online codes and everything.

Also, make sure yall look on blackboard for the "blueprint" for the med. calc test. Tells you what all you need to memorize if you haven't seen it yet.

They are making it to where you don't fail this test. And if you do then there's a problem lol.

Thanks Babysticklet. I bought the books bundle too and ordered the Peds book from Amazon. I have the previous version of the drug guide left over from my nursing program from out of state and plan to use it. If I find I really need the latest version, then I'll buy it at that time.

Did you purchase the bundle from the Wake Tech bookstore? I thought they said it was around $1100.

I'm a bit nervous about starting!! Are you in 4301 or 4302??

The book bundle is 908 at the bookstore. The total cost of books is about 1100. I decided not to go with the e book because through the bookstore its like $80. I found it on alibis.com for 94.98 total with shipping. They don't charge tax. It was originally like 98.99 but there was an $8 coupon code. I'm all about some coupons now lol. I am in 4302. I also volunteered for the evening clinical rotation.
