Hello! I am in need of lots of advice because I do not know what to do. I am hoping someone else has experience with this and can help me.
I am graduating in May with my BS. I have been planning on applying to several different Accelerated BSN programs. However, I just realized that you are only allowed to take the TEAS exam 3 times??? I was stupid and didn't study the first two times because I had no idea that you only had a certain number of times to take the exam. Therefore, my highest score on the TEAS is a 65 overall, which is awful. I have read you have to wait 5 years until one of those test scores disappears and you can take it again... not sure if thats true. My cumulative GPA is a 3.3. A lot of the schools I'm applying to require anywhere from a 2.5-3.0, so I think I am fine with my GPA but my test score is what I am worried about..
So now I am looking at starting over and getting my LPN because I do not know what else to do, considering a CNA makes no money.
Does anyone have advice on what I should do? I am a wreck.

Could you apply to an Accelerated BSN program that does not require the TEAS? Some of them require the HESI instead. Are you open to relocating?
