Who has applied to Weatherford College - Spring 2010?

smvtx23 · Aug 31, 2009

I applied but did not do so well on the TEAS. I have a 3.78 GPA. How did you do on the TEAS. Unfortunately, Weatherford bases most of the points off this test! Yikes!

My original plan was to apply to WC & TCC for Spring 2010, but Karen said the program that starts Spring is Nights/Weekends, which won't work for me. So I am applying to TCC and if I don't get accepted, I will apply to both TCC & WC for Fall 2010.

i812,

I noticed you mentioned that the Spring semester at WC is going to be Nights/Weekends...is this something new the school has started? I'm curious because that would work for me as I have a day time job. Thanks in advance!!!!

Thank you for all the information, that helps me out a lot when I get ready to apply and have to try and juggle my work schedule with school. I really appreciate it!

Congrads to whoever gets in. Just FYI. This is not an easy program by all means. You first have to prioritize what is important to you. If your work is more important, you might want to wait to start nursing school. Take it from me. I worked full time and school til 2-3rd month into the second semester and I am a mother. I struggled to find the time to study. DON'T BE LIKE ME!!!!! If you can, work part time or better not at all!!!! When second semester comes, the work is more difficult and you have to apply what you have learned so far. I reduced my status to 2 shifts a week. Yeah I am struggling with money, but I am now doing awesome in school and in the end I will be able to catch up on my bills when I graduate. School is not going to wait for me!

Also, if you get into the program. Get the books and start reading ASAP and NEVER fall behind on the information- it will be very hard to catch up on. The information that you miss- could mean life or death to someone.

Good Luck all and study hard baby nurses!
