ASU Post-Bacc Nursing Program 2013

SapphireSky26 · Mar 30, 2013

Also one last question. Is anyone aware definitively if the TEAS can only be taken once or can be taken twice? I've been given confusing/conflicting info. I have an advising apt Wednesday so I'll be sure to ask then too. When I look for TEAS exam dates I only see Grand Canyon (and evit in Mesa) but they said you can only take it there if you're applying there. I am looking through ATI website is there a different place I should be looking or are there just no dates up yet for us?[/quote']
I am under the impression (from the info session) that you can only take the TEAS once unless you fail it. I know that the TEAS is one of the main things that will be discussed at the placement workshop.

Just had meeting with nursing advisor. She did not know the cut off for last year but said mean GPA was 3.92 and lowest was 3.7 something (with TEAS in the high 90s). Still 40 spot open and they guess about 80 applicants (who qualify). We need to do really well on TEAS I guess :eek:

Hi All! Thank you Courtney for letting me know about this forum! It will be really helpful when this waiting and applying gets stressful! I'm applying for the ASU Post-Bacc 2014 program! I'm finishing my degree in Biology this May with two prerequisites left to complete after this. I'm planning on taking Micro at Gateway in the summer session (7/1-8/1) and Pathophys in the fall at one of the community colleges. I went to the application workshop on Monday (4/8) and am going to start studying for the TEAS right after graduation. Hopefully I'll be able to brush up on all of those subjects enough for the test! Good luck everyone!

Hi guys, I am currently in the program. I wouldn't worry too much about your grades, if you're above a 3.4 apply, take your teas and see what happens. If you are below 3.4 meet with the adviser and see what they say. I didn't think I had all the pre-reqs but we pulled a lot of it out from my first degree which I obtained over a decade ago :) When/where you took your pre-reqs does not matter a bit, I did about 60% of mine at the community colleges.

To the poster with kids, if you can handle your classes now with children, you can do this program. If you can not, the traditional program might be better for you. The out of class work load is INTENSE. I don't have children and I quit my job, my husband has taken over all of the shopping and laundry and I still feel overwhelmed. You can do it, but you should be prepared to buckle down!

Finally, there is always the wait list. At least 2 students in my class got pulled from the list days before class started and made it work. Just try your best in any classes you have left and good luck!

Kolacka, thank you SO much for posting. It is really helpful to hear from students currently in the program. Any info you have to give is helpful for those of us applying!

I know how you feel! If you have any specific questions Ill try to answer them. I know a few of my classmates still check this board too.

Is anyone taking pathophys at ASU in Fall? Also, has anyone signed up for TEAS yet?

Hi everyone! I am applying for the 2014 post-bacc program and am getting nervous about the upcoming application deadline. I am taking the TEAS in mid-August and am working to finish 8 of 10 prereqs by the deadline. I am taking nutrition and pathophys through Phoenix College (online) this fall. Anyone else in those courses? courtneyfaith, did you take your TEAS yet?

kateroy · Jul 25, 2013

Hi there! I am also planning to take the TEAS mid august. I have so much work left to do for the application process so I'm getting a little worried too. It's pretty intense.

I actually have my nutrition final tomorrow morning...it's the 8 pre-req for me so I'll have a short break between now and fall classes. I'm taking stats and pathophys at PVCC in the fall.

Hi guys! I registered to take my TEAS test on Aug 20th at noon. How long did it take you guys to get your fingerprint clearance card back? Hope all of your classes are going well!
