Jul 25, 201015 yr I've been coming across a lot of messages on this board about the TEAS exam but there is nothing on my program's website about it. Is is required for all nursing programs, sort of like how everyone needs to take the NCLEX?
Jul 25, 201015 yr No, some schools used to have the NET, some require HESI (think thats what its called), some TEAS, and some don't require anything. It just depends on the school, if your school doesn't mention it then it's probably not required and if you want to be sure I would just e-mail my advisor. Hope that helps, good luck!
Jul 26, 201015 yr Find out from the school of your choice. Like what the other posters said, each institution has different requirements. I took the TEAS test for a private college, and took the NAT for a local community college.
Jul 26, 201015 yr Author Great, thanks for the information! I'll contact my nursing advisor tomorrow to double check :)
Jul 27, 201015 yr No. My school doesn't. We have to take the ATI before we start, and when we're getting ready to graduate...but only so they can track how our critical thinking has improved. We don't need specific scores or anything...we just need to take it.
Jul 27, 201015 yr My ABSN program at a private university doesn't require TEAS or any other testing to get in... just GPA, 2 letters of rec, and a statement of intent.
Aug 13, 201114 yr My CC requires it. The school I transferred to requires the HESI. But it all depends on the program you are applying to, as some just look at GPA and letters of rec. Most of the schools in my area require the TEAS though.
Aug 14, 201114 yr My university does not require the TEAS, NET or HESI for undergraduate students. Most of our BSN students come directly from high school, so the only testing we use are the SAT or ACT.
Aug 14, 201114 yr My school (a 4-year public university) did not require any sort of testing and checking out this section of the forum was the first I've heard of such tests to get into a nursing program. I wonder if this is a growing trend in nursing education.
