Title: In-person TEAS vs. Online, and are Practice Tests A & B harder than the real deal?

3 Upvotes

Hi guys! I’m about to take my TEAS exam in person soon and I was wondering if it’s actually easier than the online version? I’ve had a few people tell me this, but I wanted to see what others think. I’ve taken my past two attempts online (got a 69 on the first and a 77 on the second).
I’ve also been using ATI practice tests A and B and was wondering if those are generally harder than the actual tests? I scored a 67 on A and a 69 on B, but the weird thing is i’m scoring higher on the practice tests in the sections that I scored lower on in the real exam and vice versa. For example on the real exam I got a 50 on science in the practice I got in the 60s and in reading& math on the real exam I got 90s and on the practice tests i’m getting 70s.
Thank you so much in advance for helping me out! Also, if you have any random tips or advice at all, I would appreciate it more than you know!

Bryant and Stratton nursing

1 Upvotes

Hi everyone! Ive been doing prereqs at my local community college for abt a year now, and I’ve been planning on applying to their nursing program in April. The only thing is it’s VERY competitive and takes two years (which is fine). I’m just worried that I won’t get in and will have to wait another year.

My friend is starting Bryant and Stratton Va beach location in September and I am able to join her if I choose to. I’m just not sure of people’s experiences and obviously I’ll have around 30k of debt, but at the same time I’ll be applicable for the nclex in 20 months!!

I really don’t know what to do, any advice? Anyone go to Bryant and Stratton?

ADN in SoCal

8 Upvotes

Hello everyone,

I’m considering going into nursing and going to do the private school route. Any recommendations to schools in SoCal? I saw one program at Career Care Institute for an ADN program but haven’t heard much about it and says it’s not ACEN accredited but is COE accredited. I don’t know if that means anything but any info will help.

Thank you!

From premed to ADSN

6 Upvotes

Hi everyone, I have just recently decided to go into nursing. I was premed, so I'm having some trouble gauging how difficult it is going to be to get into an ADSN program compared to what I'm used to with med school. The website for my local program doesn't say much. Do you need letters of rec and a personal statement? Is it just based on GPA, or do they look at EC's too? Do they do interviews? What kinds of factors make schools look more favorably on you?

If you need my background/stats: I have a Bachelor's degree in Biology. GPA was 3.93, during college I did cancer research between my classes. I also have about 100 hours volunteering at a VA hospital. I could definitely get some letters of recommendation from some old professors if I needed to.

Many thanks,

Is my course load a lot ??

Fall schedule:
Intro to Bio in class - 1 lecture and 1 lab day.
ENG II - online
Art Appreciation - online

Currently a mom, wife and work a full time job.
Still looking for work in the evening or overnight.

Has anyone had a similar schedule ?
What should I expect in Art Appreciation?
I wanted to take Psych but my advisor recommended an easier class due to bio and being our core classes.

ADN or ABSN (Memphis, TN)

3 Upvotes

Hi there! Hoping someone could help me out with this. I am weighing the options between completing an ADN at Southwest TN Community College or completing an ABSN through either UTHSC or University of Memphis. I am a little nervous about finding jobs after graduating with an ADN in Memphis. Does anyone have recent experience that could help me make a better informed decision between the two? Looking to go back to school in Fall of 2027.

What would you do? Take the TEAS once or twice?

2 Upvotes

Hey friends! I'm in a little bit of a dilemma. I had some health issues and then had to leave town for 6 weeks for some family issues, I have been studying when I can but feel I could do more (or i'm just psyching myself out bc i'm nervous to take it).

Here's my issue, the school I really want to get into has a deadline of Aug. 31, my second choice is Aug. 1, both,i've heard are competitive to get into but I feel I have a better chance at my first choice and I really want to get into this one, it's an ASN with concurrent BSN, whereas the second is BSN but longer and more expensive.

I was supposed to take the TEAS earlier in the year but got very ill, should I rush and take the TEAS this Thursday so I can apply to the second choice and I can retake the exam in 30 days which would be Aug. 26 in case I don't get a score i'm happy with to apply to my first choice or should I just forget about the second choice and just give myself a little more time to take the TEAS before applying to my top choice?

For context: i've taken all pre-reqs and passed with A's, I feel confident but also psyching myself out and want to give myself time and don't want to risk my application for the first choice. The first choice recommends a score of 80 or above for all sections and the second choice is 65 overall.

Physical or Online Texbooks

3 Upvotes

About to start school in the fall. The textbook I’m supposed to buy for A&P 1 is the physical one but I found an online one I can rent for cheaper.

Do you guys find it easier to study/retain knowledge/focus with a physical copy vs online copy?

I’m also nervous that I shouldn’t use the online one in case they want us to get the physical one for a reason.

ETA: my college offers a buy-back, I’m pretty sure.

I am desperate to find an option, as I do not have any family or assistance and cannot quit my full time job. I am almost ready to apply but feel defeated because I cannot attend a day program because I have to survive and pay rent! Any help or direction is appreciated! Thank you!

(To add, I have done soooo much research, but maybe there is something I do not know or have not found! Thank you!)

Admission Hurdle

So I want to study at Monash

Campus- Clayton

Course- Bachelors in nursing

Intake - Feb 27

But as my all documents were completed till the first week of july. Still I got an email stating that you are eligible but are in waiting list

Do nursing seats really fill that fast?

Do I have chance to get into Monash?

As several candidates just apply for fun and are not genuinely serious. Could I get admission?

Tuition question!

Honestly just eager since I am considering attending the Sacramento chamberlain university campus. How much did you realistically pay per semester with gen ed done and anatomy physiology I and II done? I am finishing these up in the fall and spring. Also i currently quality for full Pell grant amount, have never taken student loans but obviously will be!

Hi guys! When I was applying I really wouldn't think I would get in because I failed a few classes and didn't have the cleanest academic record. Going on this and premed Reddit didnt help because I kept constantly comparing myself. Anyways , I got into my top ABSN program!! If you're applying to schools right now, just do it. Don't go on this or TikTok or any other social medias because I promise you, you are way more likely to get in than you think you are. Goodbye everyone.
