I am having a totally sentimental moment right now concerning my journey through pre-nursing.I have 4 classes left to take (A&P 2, Micro, Wellness, and US History). I'll be applying to my BSN program of choice in January.I'm taking A&P 1 right now and my average in that class is an 87.My GPA is a 3.62 and I've worked my butt off!I've never worked this hard for anything in my entire life. Now, I'm just hoping it will pay off.I talked to an adviser today and she told me that I shouldn't have to worry about getting in. I figured out that if I get a B in A&P 2 and Micro, my GPA will still be above a 3.6, which should be more than enough to get me in combined with a good TEAS score. The average GPA for my program is a 3.4. I'm just overwhelmingly proud of myself, because this is the hardest thing I've ever done and it has been a roller coaster!

I completely understand what you mean as I'm also nearing the end of this chapter of my story! After this quarter I'll have A&P II, Sociology, and Microbiology left! It seems so strange, because when I started I felt like it was going to take forever to even get through the pre-req's. At this point though I'm planning out my TEAS test studying and will be applying to my first programs in March! Hope these last few months go smooth for you :) good luck in nursing school!

I think it is very important to stop and take a deep breath once in a while.... reflect on what you've accomplished toward your goal. This will help prevent burnout and help keep you motivated when you hit the 'hard slog' of clinical education.

I had a lab exam over the muscles earlier this week and I wasn't feeling confident about it at all. I got an 87 on it! I'm ecstatic. Haha!

dc1994 104 Posts Oct 31, 2014 hey, I will be taking me teas before may of next year 15' what are your methods of studying?I haven't started studying for the TEAS yet. I'll probably end up doing a bunch of practice problems. I'll take my TEAS in either January or February. I bought the study booklet off of the website and I'm going to do the problems in it and probably get an additional practice test.
