Maryland nursing program that doesn't require TEAS

[smallwonders07]

Hello all,

Just trying to inquire about a nursing program that doesn't require the TEAS for my sister. She has taken the exam 3 times and keeps getting the same score, not a passing score. She is starting to feel very discouraged. I told her to look into schools that don't require it, as I don't want her to give up on nursing. Anyone know schools in Maryland? An associate program is fine. Thanks.

To all you self righteous pompous asses the girl was just asking a simple question to help her sister.... There are MANY people out there that learn differently than others and are very successful. If you were an actual nursing student you would of learned that in general psychology. Standardized testing statiscically are becoming a thing in the past. Why do you think colleges are not requiring them anymore. To answer your original question tell your sister there is a school in Asheville North Carolina that does not require the teas exam. It's in their mission statement of why they do not require it. Do not listen to these jerks obviously they got an F in bedside manner class. Tell your sister do not give up until she reaches her goal! Best of Luck!!!

You all are such haters! she wants to be a nurse because she has the ability to care for a person. You wouldn't want her to be your nurse if she couldn't pass the TEAS?? YOU wouldn't even know if she passed her TEAS or not! since she's caring for you as a patient! are you going to ask every RN that's caring for you if they passed the TEAS prior to caring for you? probably not! she may be a great nurse if given the chance. The TEAS is just a marketing/money making scam that these schools take a cut from the fee that they charge you as the prospective student. Don't you all get it?? This TEAS exam is brand new!

ATI came up with a way to market their brand and make money by scamming prospective nursing students out their money by convincing the nursing schools that they should provide an entrance exam (TEAS) to their application process.. The nursing schools makes money and ATI makes money. Everyone is happy except the prospective student that has to shell out money because he/she can't pass the stupid test. We have RN's from other countries that come here and start to work as an RN, they didn't have to take any entrance exam! but hey, they will be your nurse. are you going to ask the foreign RN if she passed an entrance exam prior to caring for you? probably not! but your life is in their hands, right? you would trust a foreign RN but you won't trust one who is trying to get into an RN program here in the states? Think about it people, ATI is a scam. There are good RNs that didn't take an entrance exam because it didn't exist, and there are bad RN's that did take the TEAS and are caring for your family member.
