I'm sorry to hear that, Studionurse. There really didn't seem like enough time for those sections. Especially since you have to do everything by hand in the math. And I had to keep going back to re-read passages to make sure I understood them. So I was rushing in those sections too.

On the bright side, I think you can get a 75% if you miss 37 questions. So hopefully the other sections can help you.

I scored 89.4% and I only used the ATI book plus whatever was in my brain. I feel very lucky since I basically had a week to cram.

Congrats Willowita. I hope I get at least 65%, they only use 150 out of the 170 questions, the others are practice questions. The only thing is you dont know how they choose those that are practice questions. I have all A's and I did not bother to send in my Humanities grade, so I only have a 67 out of a possible 70 for the pre-reqs. Now I am sorry I did not send it in. Anyway I am keeping my fingers cross, if not next year.

I will post my results next saturday.

i work with graduates of the Los Angeles County School of Nursing. They are fine nurses, excellent colleagues, and friends.

One more thing Willowita, are you going into the generic RN program or is it the LVN to RN program? I am trying to get into the LVN to RN program.

willowita, ADN, RN · Mar 5, 2012

Hi Studionurse, I applied to the Generic RN program. I have zero healthcare experience. Nursing will be my second career.

Are you applying to other programs or just this one? I hear it's tough right now for LVNs to find LVN to RN programs because of all the budget cuts. I hope you get into LA County!

Hi Willowita, I am applying to County only...hoping I get in.

congratulations willowita! i think you'll get into the RN program based on your points. it looks like you have a good grades or GPA. i am still waiting for the TEAS results. maybe by friday or saturday it will come out.

willowita, ADN, RN · Mar 6, 2012

I hope so but you never know! There are a lot of good students out there.

You should definitely have your TEAS results by Saturday. How do you think it went?

i think i did good on math section but i didn't finish reading comprehension. for science and english, i think i'm fine. i'm crossing my fingers (even my toes,lol). if i pass, i can start the rn program at harbor college. let's pray, pray, pray! goodluck!

If you did well in the other sections, I think you'll be fine. Even if you didn't finish the reading section. Did you apply for the Fall 2012 semester at Harbor? I haven't heard anything from them yet. Now I'm worried!

11amp24, ADN, BSN, LVN · Mar 8, 2012

Yes I did apply at Harbor College. They told me if I passed the TEAS test, I can start the program this coming Fall 2012. The thing is, I should pass all sections (62%). Meaning if I get a 61% on reading comprehension, I'm ineligible to start the program. So I am still worried since I didn't finish that part :confused: .

i think you might receive the invitation letter from Harbor College by April or May to take the TEAS test. their TEAS test I guess will be on May 2012 according to my classmates. Think positive (like me,LOL:)).
