I took the Teas test two times, and failed both. The first time I took it was one week after my brother passed away. I know the timing was bad, but I had already registered and paid so I took it anyway. The second time I took it I really didn't take the time to study.I ordered the ATI study guide at the last min so I was only able to study it for about a week. I was crushed after failing it for the second time. I felt as if I had let myself and my family down. For a second, I even thought about giving up on nursing. My 8 year old son came up to me and told me not to worry that I would pass it the next time. With tears in my eyes I told him thank you and you're right. I was going to let ONE test stop me! What was I thinking? I just want to encourage you all , this is just a test, you can and will pass it! It may take more than one try but don't give up!
I'm in serious study mode right now, but as soon as I take the test again I will be back to update this post with a I PASSED!! Let's keep encouraging each other, we're all in this boat together!! HAPPY NEW YEAR!!

That's right. Never give up on your dreams that you worked so hard for in the first place. Yes, You can do this test and pass. Remember, the race is not for the swift or the battle to the strong, but for those that endured to the end. With the help of the Almighty One, you can do it. Happy, Bright, Healthy and Prosperous New Year to you.
