I hope this information increases their understanding of the evolution of the point system and why each component has value and meaning.<\/p>\n<p>Let\u2019s start with some frequently asked questions:<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u201cWhy is a point system necessary?\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>A requirement of educational programs that prepare nursing students to take the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.goodwin.edu\/glossary\/nclex-exam-in-ct\">registered nurse licensing exam<\/a> is that at least 80% of the program\u2019s graduates pass this exam on their first attempt. If they do not, and the program\u2019s pass rate falls below 80%, the State Board of Examiners for Nursing (SBEN) can put the program on probation and potentially close the program. As a result, nursing programs must be very careful in selecting students for admission whom they believe will have the best chance at passing the coursework and licensing exam.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u201cWhy don\u2019t you get points for being a LPN or a nursing assistant?\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Prior healthcare experience may positively affect a student\u2019s performance in the program, but not always. As Goodwin College is not involved in a student\u2019s prior healthcare training, we cannot attest to the curriculum\u2019s rigor.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u201cDo I get points for coursework not taken at Goodwin?\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>When calculating the points for prior educational experience, any college-level, credit-bearing courses taken at another school and passed with a \u201cC\u201d or better are included into your overall Previous College Education score.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><strong>\u201cShould I take courses that I do not need in order to maximize the points in the \u2018Courses Taken at Goodwin\u2019 area?\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>This answer is a bit more complicated. I would advise this only if you have already applied to the program and were short 1-2 points of the admitting score for that cohort. I would encourage you to speak with your academic advisor first. If you elect to take courses, take those that could be applied to your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.goodwin.edu\/majors\/rn-to-bsn\/curriculum\">BSN degree<\/a> after you complete the Associate Degree program.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u201cWhy does the admitting score change from semester to semester?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The cut-off score cannot be determined until the entire applicant file pool has been reviewed. We start with the highest score and work our way down numerically until 64 students have been accepted. As a result, sometimes we cannot accept all of the students with a particular score. In that case, we look at the students who receive 7 points for courses taken at Goodwin and then assess that group by highest GPA.<\/p>\n<p>\u201c<strong>Does my prior college GPA get factored in for points in this section of the score sheet?\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>It does not; points for GPA are based on 12 or more credits at Goodwin College only.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u201cCan I practice taking the pre-entrance TEAS exam as many times as I want?\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>No, you may only sign up to take the TEAS exam after you submit your application. As you may only apply 6 times, you may only attempt the TEAS 6 times.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u201cHow does a student prepare for the TEAS?\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>There are many products on the ATI website (atitesting.com) that can assist you in preparing for the exam. Reviewing your A&amp;P texts is very helpful as well.<\/p>\n<p>I hope you find this information helpful. The TEAS exam score is usually a major factor in determining who is accepted. This exam predicts early success in the nursing program as well as a student\u2019s potential to pass the licensing exam following the conclusion of the program.<\/p>\n<p>If I may be of any additional assistance, please feel free to contact me directly at 860-727-6919, email me at <a href=\"mailto:jwatts@goodwin.edu\">jwatts@goodwin.edu<\/a>, or stop by my office in Room 509 at Goodwin\u2019s main academic building at One Riverside Drive, East Hartford, Connecticut.
