  1. Should I retake the TEAS?

    Etak replied to Joseycatt16's topic in TEAS Exam Help

    It really depends on the school. I’m in the Sacramento area, and while 84 isn’t competitive, it’s also not a deal breaker if you have points from other things. Again, that depends on the school....

  2. Finally Took the TEAS: My Thoughts and What I'd Wish I knew

    Etak posted a topic in TEAS Exam Help

    Hello all, I'm writing this to hopefully help anyone out that needs it. I took the TEAS 6 yesterday after studying all summer. I studied on average 3-4 hours per day for the 4 weeks leading up to the...

  3. Sac State Nursing Program Fall 2019

    Etak replied to Alicia24's topic in School, College Programs

    A question for you first semester students... Can I ask what your daily schedule is like? What days/hours you're on campus or at clinicals? Is this hard fast for everyone or is there any flexibility...

  4. Sacramento State Spring 2020

    Etak replied to Etak's topic in School, College Programs

    Does anyone know what the daily schedule is like in the program? I'm optimistically hopeful I might get a spot on the waitlist. I'm also a parent so I am trying to lay the groundwork for getting...

  5. Sacramento State Spring 2020

    Etak replied to Etak's topic in School, College Programs

    @anyn Yes, it is open until

  6. Finally Took the TEAS: My Thoughts and What I'd Wish I knew

    Etak replied to Etak's topic in TEAS Exam Help

    @Jiangjane I felt overall, the reading was very comparable to practice exam A and B. It’s been a few weeks since I’ve taken either practice exam, so I can’t say I remember specifically which was...

  7. Finally Took the TEAS: My Thoughts and What I'd Wish I knew

    Etak replied to Etak's topic in TEAS Exam Help

    @kacmHi! I have actually already retaken the teas. I can not find anywhere on sac state's site anything about a mandatory wait between takes, so I went ahead and booked the first available exam....

  8. Hello! I'm finally getting serious with my prereqs I have some questions about choosing schools to apply to, study tips, etc.

    Etak replied to synnical's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    1. For me, I chose the schools I am applying to like this: A) all accredited schools with a reasonable commute (1hr or less) with good NCLEX pass rates. All of your state’s schools’ pass rates and...

  10. Finally Took the TEAS: My Thoughts and What I'd Wish I knew

    Etak replied to Etak's topic in TEAS Exam Help

    Thank you for the encouragement! I rebooked to take it again. I’m going to get back at it and work on the topics I didn’t know. I have to take it in Tulare because that’s the closest one...

  11. Finally Took the TEAS: My Thoughts and What I'd Wish I knew

    Etak replied to Etak's topic in TEAS Exam Help

    Good luck to you! I know I need to retake the teas to even be on the top end of the alternate list.

  12. Finally Took the TEAS: My Thoughts and What I'd Wish I knew

    Etak replied to Etak's topic in TEAS Exam Help

    Yes, but I'll only have 62 points. Last semester the lowest admitted was 67, so I am not holding my breath without a better teas score! How about

  13. I REALLY NEED HELP!! A&P I

    Etak replied to Emily1800's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    My school only had chem and algebra as a prerequisite for A&P. I went into it with no prior knowledge of cells (anatomy was my first bio class, ever. Got a high A in both A&P) Anyways, cells...

  14. Sacramento State Spring 2020

    Etak replied to Etak's topic in School, College Programs

    University applications opened today for Spring 2020 transfer students. I just submitted mine! Now I just have to do super well on the TEAS later this month and then submit a supplemental application...

  15. Advisor is recommending Algebra

    Etak replied to MBucanek's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I’ll also add that, if you have to take it eventually just to check a box, and you likely will, you also will likely need to take an entrance exam of some sort. TEAS or HESI, etc. Algebra is...

  16. Advisor is recommending Algebra

    Etak replied to MBucanek's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It could also be required as a prerequisite for a class that is a prerequisite. For example, in some schools algebra (or testing out of algebra) is a prerequisite for chemistry, and then chemistry is...

  17. Recommendation for friend

    Etak replied to fiercedeity085's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    This might depend on area but I know where I am, going ADN-BSN is not a time saver at all. It’s the opposite. The prerequisites are nearly the same (at least all the core sciences are) and then once...

  18. Best TEAS practice book/resource

    Etak replied to futurepsychnurse98's topic in TEAS Exam Help

    I’ve been collecting resources for awhile now and my top 3, now that I am intensely studying for the teas, are: •your prerequisites and whatever study material you used to get through those...

  19. LPN-RN, LPN, or BSN? How should I do this?

    Etak replied to snowgal's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I second this. Can you get your BSN in CO then move to CA? There’s really no such thing in CA as “move to CA in a couple months and enroll in a 3 year BSN.” I know tone gets lost over text, so...

  20. TEAS 6

    Etak replied to CNA2RN3's topic in TEAS Exam Help

    My disclaimer is that I have not yet taken the TEAS but am currently studying for it after asking a large number of people who have taken it and complied their advice. So this is what I am doing: 1....

  21. Can anyone answer my TEAS test schedule question?!!?!!

    Etak replied to nurse_student27's topic in TEAS Exam Help

    This depends entirely on the place you scheduled to physically take the test at. You’ll have to check with them if you can reschedule. See FAQ 10....

  22. TAKING BIO 201 AND FON241

    Etak replied to Raquel123's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Assuming you don’t have an excessive time commitment outside of school, I think this is a doable combo. That being said, A&P is a lot and it’s where your comprehension really matters most and...

  23. TAKING BIO 201 AND FON241

    Etak replied to Raquel123's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    What are bio 201 and fon421? Schools abbreviate the names their classes

  24. All Online Classes

    Etak replied to FutureNurseTriee's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I love them. I’ve taken almost all of my prerequisites online. The only classes I took on ground were algebra (I believe I would have been fine, but my counselor advised against it since it was my...

  25. Practice exam A and B

    Etak replied to gopats1234's topic in TEAS Exam Help

    I want to apply to CSU Sacramento’s traditional BSN. It’s admission is merit based on points earned. I need a minimum of 60 points just to be allowed to apply, and the majority of points are...
