I was nervous when I first took it I guess that's y I didn't do so well....I didn't get to finish the reading comprehension part because I read the passage like 3x so I wasted time therefore my lowest score was in that section....math section I did really good...science not so good....my overall score was 72.5. I'm a second degree student , I also applied to a few other schools mostly Accelerated BSN... I also received tht letter from mountainside stating they have received my application. Do u know how long the process take for them to make a decision . I called but can't never get them on the phone. I will try again today. Gd luck on your teas

Onedayanurse,

I just got my receipt of application from MHSON yesterday. I was hoping it would be a test date. The good thing is that MHSON looks at the person as a whole and not a grade. Muhlenberg was in fact the TEAS version V - No science portion. There were a lot of people taking it and a lot of retakes. Retakes sit in a separate room. To be honest, I v'e taken a NLN for the LPN and the TEAS for RN and honestly, in my own personal experience I found the NLN to much harder. But that's just me. Christ hospital uses the NLN PAX RN and I am still waiting to hear from them too. I am currently a student at Bergen Community College and have all my pre-reqs done there so I plan to apply for the evening program which is Oct 1st deadline. I was even going to take the LPN - RN route but there are so many open admissions now to the RN schools that it crosses over the deadline for some the LPN schools I got accepted to. Bottom line - nothing is easy. These pre admission tests seem easy and everyone has their intake on them but what usually seems easy...raises a question. Don't be discouraged and keep your head on straight. Try not to listen to the negative or other people's long journey because it can be very discouraging. Believe me - it's been a long road for me and I still haven't given up. I know I will get in, I have to believe in myself. Any questions holla back.

Ciao

Do you have Mrs. *********'s direct number (not the general school's number)? Call her DIRECTLY and try early in the morning (like 6/6:30am). She's there super early and that's sometimes the best time to reach her. All else fail? Go there in person.

Send me a message and I'll message it to you. No, I didn't apply for the fall semester. I started this thread 2 years ago and I'm about to graduate from Mountainside in 25 days. :yeah::nurse:

Hi Nancy,

Thanks for the encouragement... It has been a long road for me as well. About test dates, once MHSON received my application it took about a month for me to receive a test date, so hang in there. I am not giving up...I have my test this Tuesday at Mountainside. You said there were quite a few RN programs with open admissions can you let me what schools they are. I would appreciate it. Thanks and hang in there!!!
