Anyone Hoping to Start Nursing School Fall 2020?

Published

I'm going to be applying for nursing school this spring of 2020 in hopes to get in and start nursing school in a year, fall 2020. I'm taking A&P I and nutrition this semester and A&P II next semester. Anyone in a similar boat? I will be applying at the same school I'm doing my pre-reqs at in Northern Nevada.

I am in the same boat! I am finishing up my A&P II in the next couple of weeks! I will start prepping for my Kaplan entrance exam! I am in NC

I'm hoping to start the nursing program in January of 2020. I am applying in August ....I've already taken my TEAS and all my pre reqs, including a few of my non nursing clinical classes.

I am in a very similar boat, if I can manage to pass the classes. I really want to get in 2020 fallso I don't have to do the TEAS testing which becomes mandatory in Spring of 2021. (Im not good at retaining math, so I am scared I won't get as good a grade even though I took the classes!) But I am so worried about taking A&P II in the summer with Microbio and College algebra. Summer is much shorter, and those two BIO classes are hard enough alone...

I am pretty much betting that I will have to wait until Spring and just brush up on math for TEAS testing.

Whats on the TEAS test anyway?

In Nevada, we don't have the TEAS. I see a lot of people talking about it on this website though. I'm assuming it's a nursing school entrance exam. Here we have the HESI.

On another note, you said you're going to take A&P II? Does that mean you've taken A&P I? I'm about to start A&P I in 2.5 weeks and I'm worried I'll need to already have knowledge on cells. The pre-req for it is either bio 190 (intro to cell and microbio) or chem 121 and I took chem so I don't know a lot about cells. Do you think that's an issue for me going into A&P I? If so, I'm going to use my professor's online lectures for his other class to teach myself before class starts.

No, sorry I should have clarified. I have my plan already laid out and that summer (2020) is the one where I will have to take A&P II. It just works out that way because of certain prereqs that I have to take first.

TEAS is for any person entering schooling for a career in the health field. They are trying to slow down attrition (people dropping out basically) and it shows that higher TEAS scores correlate with lower attrition rates. That's what I found out when I researched, but I cant find what is actually on the test, like what level math it is and such.

I wouldn't really know about your question since I haven't taken A&P I yet, sorry. But you can email your instructor ans see what their opinion is! That's what I do. I just explain the situation and ask their opinion. If you don't know who your instructor is yet just email one of them and ask. ?
