Accelerated BSN

[saah58]

I am a graduate student. I have my BSc in Biology with a Chemistry minor. I am wanting to get into an Accelerated BSN program so that I can complete my 2nd BA in Nursing and test for the NCLEX exam. I tried out for UT Tyler but didn't get in due to an over whelming number of students applying. I made a 74 on my TEAS V. Anyone have any ideas as to what would be my best bet to avoid wasting time like this. I know I should of applied for multiple schools, kind of too late for Spring 2016. I looked at majority of schools their wanting the HESI A2 exam and I don't want to take another exam. I'm all for out of stat--all in all, where ever the program is and its accredited --im all ears.

Thanks for your time.

I have heard the HESI is easier than TEAS. Maybe don't count that out? Also I'm sure you know out of state tuition is killer. I would stay in state if at all possible, although that may not be an issue for you. I would just research ABSN schools near you and check out their requirements. Sometimes more rural schools get less applicants making them easier to get into. Also may consider retaking TEAS to make yourself more competitive. Most schools that I know of have average TEAS scores of accepted students in the mid 80s. Hope this helps!
