   GeoffreyKerns replied to nepthea's topic in TEAS

   As the other poster mentioned, if you took the test in a group of 100 people, you would do better than 97 of them... Not bad. No need to retake. Congrats and best of luck in getting in!!

2. New TEAS V Science Section

   GeoffreyKerns replied to nepthea's topic in TEAS

   ATI has online tests available on their site. Make sure that you take the version that is appropriate for the one that you are taking. They are really expensive (around $30 each if I remember correctly), but they are the only ones I found to be true ...

3. TEAS practice test 4 vs.5

   GeoffreyKerns replied to greatpyr_mom's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Oliveira1: I was applying to several schools. One only accepted v5; the other only accepted v4. Bsnwnab: I would say yes because that is what I did and I actually did better on v4 (which is much easier in my opinion), but I would strongly recommend ...

4. Tripping out, help!! Applying for Fall 2011

   GeoffreyKerns replied to foolie's topic in California

   You might want to retake anatomy for a better grade since a lot of the schools that I have been applying to do put a lot of weight on those science scores. If you are anywhere near Santa Monica or wouldn't mind commuting there, you do qualify for a...

6. I hate this teas test thing ugh!!!!!

   GeoffreyKerns replied to alwayssmilen's topic in Pre-Nursing

   When you go online to print your results, there are a list of areas given that you need to work on. Those areas directly correspond to the sections of the study guide. Study the heck out of those sections and then take the practice tests in the st...

7. Types of jobs to get before/during nursing school

   GeoffreyKerns replied to MegC's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I have been working as an EMT for a few years and have found that the the training and experience I have picked up have done a great deal to prepare me for a nursing career and to let me know that this is the career for me. I would definitely recom...

8. TEAS practice test 4 vs.5

   GeoffreyKerns replied to greatpyr_mom's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I took 5 about a month ago and 4 this morning. I definitely would say that they made Version 5 a decent amount more difficult and also a great deal more relevant to nursing practice in the science and mathematics sections. I took the online assessm...

9. New TEAS V Science Section

   GeoffreyKerns replied to nepthea's topic in TEAS

   Think of the first online practice test as more of an assessment. If you are planning on studying from the TEAS V book, the assessment will tell you what areas in each subject that you need to study up on. Best of luck!!

10. New TEAS V Science Section

    GeoffreyKerns replied to nepthea's topic in TEAS

    I used both the study guide and the online practice tests. The practice tests provide you with a list of areas you need to work on that correlate to the topics in the study guide. Very handy! I ended up scoring a 76 overall adjusted on the first pr...

11. Where can I take Prereqs online that are accredited in CA?

    GeoffreyKerns replied to mr.hustle's topic in California

    I would recommend against taking the science prereqs online unless you have a decent amount of science/healthcare background. They can be pretty daunting courses even in a school environment.

12. ICU vs ER for a PCT

    GeoffreyKerns replied to sslickerson's topic in Technicians

    I work in a busy urban emergency department as a technician, and I would have to say that there is a world of difference between that and working on a floor. While you still are fetching water and wiping butt, you also need to do a great deal in ass...
