Hi everyone. Just wanted to start a post for the 2015 Associates degree of Nursing Fall program at Weatherford College and see who else will be applying!
I have 31 points before my TEAS. I probably wont be taking it for a couple more months. I've finished all of my pre and co requisites and have my 15 hours of BSN credits so I'm super excited to finally be able to apply :)
I wonder what the point cut off will be this semester? I'm hoping to get at least 6 points off my TEAS but 8 would be great! Comment if you're applying this upcoming semester! Cant wait!
The six weeks began last monday. We are in the second week. I plan on talking to her MAYBE next week.. not for sure. But if anyone else talks to her please keep us all updated!
I know. Im really going crazy. I really want to go talk to her but I know that that wont change anything or make the process go by any faster! It would probably just annoy her! Uggh! But hopefully just a little more than four weeks yall...
Yea I don't want to bother her either but I still would love to pick her brain a little. grrrrrr. You will get in for sure with your points, mine are questionable .. I think I night be on the bubble.
Don't think like that! There is really no way of knowing what the cut off will be this semester with the new point system. Have you finished all of the pre and Co reqs?
Hi guys!! I am 2nd semester ADN at WCWC and I was reading through here just checking in! I remember this time last year, we were STALKING Allnurses!! tmmycarson!! I remember you!! I am so rooting for you!! I just wanted to let ya'll know, with regards to the math, DON'T SWEAT IT!! Really, I am SO not a math person, and I was completely panicked about the Math. It is very manageable. We use dimensional analysis, and once you learn how to set it up, it's truly not that hard. I would look at some dimensional analysis for practice and just refresh your basic conversions: mg to g, lbs to kgs, mg to mcg, mL to teaspoons, mL to tablespoons, oz. to mL. Thats really it, you are just doing conversions. Also, with the blue cards, I got mine early last spring and was so confused!! I got my blue card before I got my acceptance letter and had no idea what it meant or why I got it and none of my friends had. The blue card comes once you have done your FAST fingerprints and your background check has cleared. I had forgotten that I had applied to NCTC's LVN program and was accepted and had to drop because of health issues at the last minute. So, my fingerprints were already in the system from doing them for the LVN program 3 years prior. So, unless you have done FAST fingerprints for some reason in the past, don't panic if you don't get it early. Generally, they don't come until after you've completed that fingerprint appointment, the info for that comes in your packet. First semester is EXPENSIVE because you have to pay for your scrubs, shoes, stethescope, skills kit, books, etc. But, once you have them, you have them and second semester cost me less than half of first. So, the expense balances out over the 4 semesters. Good luck you guys!!
@RockellPoshell I remember you too ! I was so hoping to go thru with you. Glad to hear you are doing well, that gives me hope. Yes I think I will hold the record for the OLDEST student in nursing as I keep applying anyway. last lime I had 31 points and cut off was 32 sadly this time due to new selection points I am at 30 . I sure hope it swings in my favor this time.
@abbieallen , Yes I have completed all pre reqs and all co reqs as well as all lower level nursing classes like patho and pharm through UTA.
@tmmycarson you won't I promise, lol!! We have a lot of different ages. @student0, it's was crazy! It's a huge learning curve, all of the online work and just learning the ropes. I'm in my 30's and I have 4 children ranging from 3 to 11 and my 3 year old is home with me when I'm not in class and it's always a challenge to entertain him and get work done. But it can be done. Best advice I got early on from a 3rd semester student was to get on top of the work and stay on top of the work. And it's really the best advice, it seems like there's always something to do. We had a lot of schedule changes in the beginning of last semester and some this semester too (but that's at WC campus, I'm not sure how it was at main campus) so, I promise you will hear the phrase "be flexible" a lot. So, just embrace it and do your best to roll with the flow. Make great friends and be supportive. My friends have saved by butt so many times, reminded me of something I didn't do or just shared their study notes with me because I had a crazy week etc. We try to help each other out, and it makes it so much better. It's so hard but it will make you feel like a superhero that you survived it and if I can survive it anybody can!!
Glad to hear you are surviving ... I have several friends in the WC program and one at WCWC now. some about to graduate, others now second semester. All have said the same, stay on top of things .
That's so awesome to hear because I'm a mom of a 4 year old and a 2 year old and I'm a little anxious about starting nursing school on top of being a mother and wife!
@tmmycarson have you taken any bsn courses? That really helped boost my points and I've only taken a couple of them! It took me two years just to finish my pre/coreqs, with a couple bsn courses squeezed in! So don't pressure yourself. It will all be worth it when you are holding that acceptance letter!
