Looks like I am not attending school

Published

Well I spent 1600 for an online course for nothing! I won't be able to attend school this year for nursing because I bombed the TEAS test. I was in the 51 percentile. I did well with my math and reading and english but not so well with the science. Because the information I studied more on was the A&P and there was none of that on there! Therefor if I would choose to go to school I have to wait another year and try again, which I know I am only going to fail again. I feel like a complete failure and am terribley misserable now. My dream has come to an end before it even began, and now I am going to hear it from everyone how much of a loser I am. Well take care everyone

Amy,

You only see the obstacles when you have stopped focusing on your goal. With that being said, pick yourself up and brush yourself off. I'm sure you will make a great nurse someday, now you just need to get your determination back. Why not look into other programs while awaiting to take the TEAS again? Many of us on these boards had to apply to more than 1 program. Nursing programs are so competitive that you really can't put all of your eggs in one basket.

I'm not sure where you are located, but go to discovernursing.com and do a program search for other programs near you. You might be suprised to find another program that might fit you better.

Good luck and keep us posted.

I just took the Teas, I got a 80% in Science--listen go and get a GED book that covers science. I found that I forgot the basics (food chain, friction, stuff like that), and it worked good for brushing up on the math as well. I did really poorly when I took the PSB test, but I did not give up-you can do it.

Hang in there, the year will fly by. Just try again. Study harder. Now you have a whole year to really drill the stuff in your brain. Hope you don't give up!!

Specializes in ICU/ER.

Also, there are other types of schools. What is your ultimate goal? RN! Get a ADN then BSN.

I know how it feels to not succeed the first time. Hey, I failed twice in nursing. First at my first nursing school 2 years ago, and then this semester. I was sooo close to graduating (in my last class) and got a C- in the class. Have to retake that class before I can graduate. I once read somewhere that "failure is only temporary" so try again. I know I will.
