ROFLMAAAAAAAAAAAO

I am in the same boat. I can't afford the new book or any of the study materials. My sister gave me her old book, TEAS V. I've had mixed advice and some people say it's the same basic information (like... the systems of the body don't change ya'll....) but other's have told me the test information itself is updated and the way they test is different so it would be better to have the newer material. However, being a mom of 4 with a single income... I don't see that happening. At any rate, my test is Monday so, we're going to have to just go on a wing and a prayer here.

Nope. no chem in high school. And I haven't been in high school since like 1998. Back then they really didn't care about your education either. They literally graduated me out with an D in PRE-Algebra. So I've been struggling with math for like the last decade or so trying to get it up to this point. I took my pre-test last night, and I failed it miserably in the math section. Test is monday. I'm not optimistic...

I'm taking mine on the 18th and I'm currently freaking out. I haven't taken Chem yet, but i'm almost done with AP 223. My RN school deadline is 3/01 so i'm trying to hurry up and take the TEAS before the deadline. There is a once every 90 days rule here so this my one shot or i'll have to wait for the next selection date So 14 days to study for my first time taking the TEAS ever. I'm pretty solid on english and reading on my practice exam, it's the math that scares me (i'm just finishing math 120 and i'm not doing so hot in it) and the chem/science questions in general. Do they give you the formulas for the math on there?

I've almost maxed out my financial aide... that's the problem and why I have to switch to a cheaper school. I'm already at 35k...

I've been working with advising because when my best friend and her son were killed, I dropped a class because between her death and a positive pap I was a wreck. I couldn't keep up with exams. So I ended up on SAP probation and I had to work with advising and the dean of Uris g to get back in good standing. I have an appointment with advising this week via webchat because I don't have a car now. My van was repossessed right after I had the baby in December (I did my final from my hospital bed lol, then went back to class in the spring, which is probably why angry uterus tried to kill me 12 weeks pp). i couldn't work and they took the van. My husband has a car but he works 12 hour days to try to keep a roof over our heads. I have to retake a&p 1 since I got a c- this semester. The whole thing is a nightmare Hopefully my advisor will be objective about switching to the less expensive school and taking the longer route to my BSN and not just loyal to our school and trying to get me to stick it out there

First post, here goes. Backstory/wall o' text: I'm a full time bsn major at NSC here in Nevada. I'm also a mom of 4 kids, and returning back to school after a pretty awful divorce and chaotic life. I know we all have our sob stories so I'll make mine brief. Applied to pre-nursing in 2014, got all A's at first as I was part time, but then life started to go bat **** insane. My divorce happened:moved myself and my then 3 children (one a new baby) out into the middle of the ghetto while working a really crappy job, but kept pushing myself through school. Long story short, over the course of 3 years, Best friend and her son were murdered, I was almost killed in a car accident, met someone and had a baby that I almost died on the table giving birth to (and then bled out 12 weeks pp in the middle of midterms during cadaver labs and yay, almost died again). and through it all while I have stuck it out, we have struggled emotionally, physically, and financially. My student loans are almost maxed out from having to take extra to pay off bills, rent, medical costs, time off work etc. and NOW I may not have enough to pay for the rest of school to finish my BSN. So here's my problem and where I need advice. To finish my pre-reqs and get into my scrubs and start clinicals with the BSN program at my current school, I'll need another few semesters of classes and retakes to get my GPA up to a competitive 3.7 or higher. I won't have the funds to do this after spring semester. and the remainder of the BSN program is 20k. I only have like 14 left in Fin Aid. I COULD switch to a cheaper school, finish the classes I have now, and apply 3/2018 for the fall ADN program. Complete my ADN in 4 semesters and precept in the final semester as well as work as a NAP and once I start making money when I graduate (or even before as a NAP) I can just do the bridge to BSN/RN since I'll only have a couple classes left to take and finish it up that way? I guess I'm just looking for a little reassurance here. It's been a really messy and chaotic couple of years. I haven't had a second to catch my breath since 2014. It's been a whirlwind of sadness and scary things and the only good things to come out of it have been my boyfriend and our kids. Being a nurse is all I have ever wanted since I was 4 years old and I promise my dad on his hospital bed I would NOT give up, but every time I get two steps forward, I fall 20 steps back. life keeps kicking my ass and it's been really hard not to give up these days. I'm studying for my TEAS right now and it's not going well at ALL, and Im starting to wonder if God is trying to tell me something.
