Aria School of Nursing September 2012

Published

Hi all, I'm new to this site (just joined today). But I've been lurking for a few weeks. I'm applying for the Aria Health SON and would love to meet others who are applying for the September 2012 academic year.

Did you go to the abbington campus of psu? How was Penn? I actually got accepted there (eons ago, 1998) but I chose to go to a school in NY.

I went to delaware county/brandywine. I liked it. If I didn't have so much going on I definitely would've finished my bs in biology there.

@ awarren, I have to look again at the bachelor requirements for psu. I think I am covered in the electives department but I will double check. Also, I looked at a few of the nursing courses on the sonis login and the book list seems pretty extensive for the early nursing classes! I did see a few that you could rent decently on Chegg though.

@fitnessgirl, I scored proficient too. I'm not sure how the scoring works, but on the paperwork it said that you can call Julie and ask her how they use the TEAS in their admissions process. I did hear that some schools award certain points depending on the level you scored. But I don't know. Awarren said that they look at the percentages rather than the score in her case and she's (or he's) already been accepted into the program!

I'm going to schedule my interview as well. Willing to do all that it takes!

I met her at the October open house, she really is nice. It would be great to be classmates! Especially when you know someone is as passionate about it the same thing you are.

Hi everyone! Sorry I havent had time to get back on here lately and update you on how my TEAS test went but here I am! I scored an overall score of 68%. When I got in there, I was thinking the required score was a 70% but then they said that since version V of the TEAS is much harder than the earlier versions, they lowered it to 60%. So with that being said, I'm happy I got atleast what they want, but I thought for sure I would do better.

The science portion of mine was insane. I was extremely disappointed in the ATI study guide because basically nothing in there was on my test. So the science is what I scored the lowest in which brought my overall score down. I have been reading previous comments and I see some of you said that you also scored in the sixties and was told that was good. I have not talked to Julie about my score yet, but this makes me feel better that she already told other people that they did good. Now I guess I play the waiting game! lol.

Hello everyone!! I've taken my teas exam today. I am super nervous because I received a 66 on the exam. I bombed on the reading section (which caused my grade to be lowered) because i didn't pace myself:( I haven't given up hope though. I still have my fingers crossed.
