My TEAS score was 86. I am attending now. Day Program is 8:30 to 3:30 on Tuesday and then you have lab for 2-3 hours one day and clinical at the hospital for 2-3 hours another day. The uniform is white pants and marroon top (Scrubs). When you submit your application make sure everything is in because it will delay the response if you don't. Buy the TEAS practice book at ATI testing.

Lecture is Tuesday.
Lab is Thursday and clinical is Friday
You can do those in the evening program, but day and evening students must attend lecture.

Hi!
I currently am in Level 1 and so far I love the program, however, you do have to put alot of work into the program. So far it goes like this, tuesdays are the lectures day which usually run from 8:30-4 and then depending on your lab group you will have lab on wednesday or thursday for a few hours and then your clinical (working in the hospital) will be on thursday or friday from 8-2. Im not quite sure about the evening program, but I know the hours are very similar, just they are after 5pm.
Now, the readings for lab are very extensive, but it does help to read because though the lectures are long, there is alot of information to cram into these hours; the reading does help reinforce the info for the tests.
As far as acceptance, I found out in late January and then you slowly start to receive orientation information around may. Also, I did get an 84% on my teas, but I know alot of people that got lower and higher, BHSN does really look at EVERYTHING, not just your teas.
And finally, the uniforms are white pants, which you can buy anywhere or through the school, the top is maroon with BHSN enscribed, and we have to wear white shoes with no holes in them( i.e crocs with holes).
Umm, thats about it I think? If you have any other questions I'd love to help, but right now I have to go do a tonnnnn of math calculations for class lol

Dylan,
Its not so much that it's harder than a&p, its just a totally different thing. Alot of stuff from a&p is obviously necessary for nursing, but studying is totally different.
Homework for class more so involves extensive reading and practicing nclex style questions. Its not so much memorization and vocab, though that is important to know for your clinical, its more so applying what you know to different situations.
So yes, as long as you devote a lot of time, and have a passion for learning nursing, I would say that you shouldn't have a problem. Like I said its just a lot of reading and research for your clinical experiences weekly.

BHSN does really look at EVERYTHING, not just your teas.
As well as the photo they demand on the application which is illegal b/c of discrimination.
