Applying nursing

Published

I'm currently pre nursing student and I'm preparing to apply for nursing program. I recently took an entrance exam, but I didn't do well on it. So depressing.. I'm retaking the entrance exam next month and hoping I can get at least an average score. My GPA isn't good or bad it's about 3.5, but!!!1 If I don't pass the entrance exam I can't even apply for nursing program.., Any encouragement or advice?/

My question is the same as above, which entrance exam? If it is the TEAS, which is one that many of us pre-nursing students know, buy the study guide and practice a bunch. If you didn't do well, it's ok! There's always room for improvment.

I haven't got any experience with ATI, but a critical thinking exam seems a little much for pre nursing. I'm in nursing now and believe me, critical thinking on tests is a learned ability. It takes time and practice.

it was ATI critical thinking exam. I think there's no way to prepare for the exam
