My friend just found out unfortunately she was not accepted. Hopefully better luck next time but once she lets me know about the cut off scores I'll post about them!

I have the same GPA, mine is a 3.675 and my TEAS right now is a 77 hoping to get to the mid high 80's and then study for the essay all of january before the test date. The TEAS is difficult to me in a way that you need to relearn everything and the part of not knowing what answers you got wrong so you know what to study for or change the next time you take it. I recommend taking the TEAS with your final score before the test date that way you go in with your best and can always take it at National and maybe score higher or give them the score you brought in. For the essay it is 60 minutes and very stressful the first time because everyone is in the same room and once they say go everyone is typing and its loud and you are trying to think so practice timing yourself in a loud room so you know you wont distracted by others around you. Good Luck!

Hello future nurses, I have recently applied to cohort 57 for National University in SD and was denied then decided to skip cohort 58 and get more study time in for the next cohort. I am not as nervous as I was in the first time I applied, people seem to be getting higher and higher teas scores which makes the program more difficult to get into, which is good it challenges all of us. When I took the essay i was super scared and didn't practice all the prompts, I didn't score well but scored better then I though I would have. I am excited to hear from others that will be applying for the cohort 59 for July 2019!

Hello everyone! Wish you all the best! I ended up pulling my application the day before my test date because I was not 100% about going in with my teas score and about the essay. I felt like i needed more time to study that way i am not doubting if i could get in or not, plus this would have been my second time applying and did not want to risk having to apply for the third time. I took a month class with Adkins Academy and met other people who were also applying for National and for the amount I paid for him to tutor and guarantee a high score I did not like the way he taught nor did I get the high score he said I could get. But, good luck to everyone and maybe ill hear from some of you in the next cohort if you are an alternate.

When i took my essay a couple months ago I didn't need to cite any sources. I just made sure I kept to the prompt of the essay. You also don't need a title page. You'll get 60 mins to write an essay of 5 paragraphs one-two pages long. Hope this helps! Good luck

I don't think they round at all from when I got my scores for the last cohort:( that's why last cohorts scores for the alternates were so close, not even a point away

What test dates did everyone get? Mine on nov 15th! Also does anyone know how many applicants applied?

Are you taking it at National or some where else?

Thank you for sharing your advise it does help! I too found it stressful when I took the essay for the first time and as soon as they said "GO!" you could hear everyone type 100 mph and I looked at my prompt for 20 minutes deciding what to write. So now applying for cohort 58 I have an idea of what the pressure will be like going into it again. My TEAS score also wasn't that well so I signed up for Adkins Academy to get more practice and have a different way of learning the material and hoping it pays off!

Has anyone gone to the writing center and seen the essay prompts?

I turned in a sad 70 for my TEAS not well at all but I did try so Ive been studying the areas I didn't do well in on the TEAS. for me it was the english and science part so since then i had an english tutor and tried other methods of relearning science.

Hello, I applied for the cohort 57 and just heard back today and I was denied. I went in with all A's and one B and not too hot on the TEAS and still waiting for a call back to hear about my essay score. I took the TEAS 4x at SDSU before taking it at national and it is hard. I am hoping to improve my TEAS score to an 85 and study the essay prompts to better my chances. Good luck to everyone!
