I apologize for stating that the LVN-T program wasn't very good. Turns out it does not take two years to enter the LVN-T program (only requires one year combined with the LVN program curriculum and LVN experience). However, still found out that the LVN program is very rigid and challenging, and the transition isn't easy as I thought: Taking the NCLEX PN exam, Summer clinics, and another TEAS exam. And additionally, the LVN program takes place on campus, which is an hour-requiring distance for my case (different campus to the ADNs). That's why I'm prone to take another try for the ADN program, but I respect the LVNs and RNs who chose that pathway. Very regret that I didn't build up any pre-nursing experiences before being admitted into the program. Still, I take this experience as a chance and give it another try. Thank you.

Thank you for the detailed response. I really appreciate your kindness in answering those questions. And as you have advised me, I contacted my school, and fortunately, we only have a limited time frame if those tests are taken monthly apart. I will combine studies with the Mometrix and Smart Edition Academy TEAS study guides. I looked out for the TEAS books at the library, but unfortunately, many were outdated. As you stated, "Science can be all over the place from what I remember but getting down the core information is important. Many TEAS prep books will help you here." How many TEAS prep books did you study? Could you recommend a good YouTube channel or resource for the TEAS science section?

I've already been admitted to an accredited and privileged ADN Program for this Spring, 2023. However, since complicated issues (mother's surgery, ASD brother needs help, house leaking issues, etc.) were going around, and I was academically lowest of all my peers, I decided to drop out, study more, take more nursing courses for Spring half-semester and Summer, and re-admit for Fall 2023. At that point was okay. However, when I found out I failed to get accepted to the ADN Program for Fall 2023, I was devastated, and now I'm desperately finding a way to make up. (I submitted my previous low TEAS score since I had only two weeks to apply for Fall 2023, and I had no confidence to higher up the scores for that period.) So I knew that I had some possibility of not getting accepted because my TEAS scores were proficient level. (I got a 76.9 for Reading, 94.1 for Math, 56.8 for Science, 66.7 for Language, and an overall 72.0) Also, very stupid for me that I thought it was an excellent plan to try the LVN-T Program as a make-up plan for not accepting for the Fall 2023 ADN Program. I didn't know that track took two years before being admitted to the LVN-T Program (1 year for the LVN Program and one year for LVN experience). I initially thought the LVN-T Program took just one year (LVN Program) and then transferred to the ADN Program in the third semester. I'm so lost right now. I couldn't tell my parents because they were dealing with health issues, and I had already failed their expectations too much. I could get relief if my TEAS scores were high enough and very competitive (all advanced or, better, exemplary) to enter the Spring 2024 ADN program. But I need to figure out where to start studying. The forums and threads are informative on this website, so I'm trying to read all of them, but since I'm an ESL, I'm expecting my English and Language sections wouldn't improve as fast enough as the native speakers. I'm already taking my two 2nd-8 week Spring classes and another two five weeks for Summer, and I'm moving out in July. So it's crazy to deal with all those schedules with the TEAS exam. I feel so trapped in my situation, my confidence is losing much more, and I'm feeling so guilty that I let down my family. P.S. Also is it eligible to apply to the ADN program even if you are currently taking a LPN/LVN program? Just want to ask...
