HELP: Will I get into any Texas nursing schools?

Published

Hi all,

So a little background information: I have a BS in Health from TAMU, therefore I'm qualified to apply for accelerated nursing tracks. I am hoping I will get into at least ONE school in Texas. I will list some of the schools I'm thinking about applying to: TAMU, TWU Houston and Dallas, UT Arlington, UT Tyler, UT Houston, Texas State, Baylor, TCU, UTMB, University of Houston, Sam Houston, and SFA. If you currently attend or have been accepted to any of these schools or even someone who attends nursing school in Texas, can you please comment so I can reach out and ask for your advice? I would basically just like to know if I am wasting my time and money applying to these schools with my HESI scores and my nursing science GPA.

I have not yet taken the TEAS but heard it was harder than the HESI. Today I took the HESI A2 nursing exam. I was very pleased with all my scores with the exception of A&P. So first question: Can you retake just one section? I have seen some people say yes some people say no. Has anyone gone in to just retake ONE? Second question: Should I apply with these scores (will list below), or should I retake the entire thing if I'm not allowed to take just the A&P one. Honestly, I don't know how great I will do if I were to retake some of the sections. I did surprisingly well on vocabulary and I definitely used educated guesses and even just a random guess on some of them. With that being said, I'm pleasantly surprised with that grade and I believe most schools will use your most recent scores. Third question: If I were to retake the entire thing or just a section, is the test the exact same? Similar? I have seen people say they were the exact same and completely different, so what is your experience?

Math: 98%

Grammar:96%

Vocabulary: 92%

Reading: 88%

A&P: 72%

Critical Thinking: 880

I studied hard for A&P but the questions were very random and hard not to mention none of it was really in the study book. It also was a disadvantage to me that there were only 30 questions.

Please comment with any advice you have!!

Thank you!!

just recently, i think i took the test around nov of last year.

if you look at your results.online, there should be an area where they give you resources to subjects you missed. kind of like an after-test study guide if you will,
