1. Want to be an LVN but I can't pass the TEAS

   JennMcK replied to JennMcK's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Thanks, yeah I think I need to do that. All my life I have had problems with Math. I have always needed special tutoring for math.

2. Want to be an LVN but I can't pass the TEAS

   JennMcK replied to JennMcK's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I have yet to find an LVN program that does not require that you pass the TEAS exam. Here in San Diego, they all do. The Grossmont Health Occupations Center is where I wanted to get my LVN education since it's in the same town where I live. It's c...

3. Want to be an LVN but I can't pass the TEAS

   JennMcK posted a topic in Pre-Nursing

   I tried once to take and pass the TEAS and I did not do well on the math part. That is not surprising since I'm terrible at math. I'm ok at Science and good at English/Spelling, etc. Anyhow it's just very frustrating not being able to have the car...

   Thank you Stephalump (and everyone else). I think I will do that. :)

   JennMcK replied to JennMcK's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Yeah I think I'll need to do that (the tutoring), although I have spoken to other nurses and they told me that they were bad at math and still managed to do it. They told me, "You'll learn it as you go along in nursing school." They also told me th...

   JennMcK replied to JennMcK's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I would probably have to as well. I think it varies from state to state. Where do you live? I live in California.

   JennMcK replied to JennMcK's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I'm actually thinking of becoming an LVN rather than an RN. But we'll see.

   JennMcK replied to JennMcK's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Oh I know all about that. I'm not bad at calculations and measurements. We learned about that in my CNA class. I'm just not good at advanced math like algebra, etc.

   JennMcK replied to JennMcK's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Oh really? Yeah I could probably do that. However if I go into any school, it will have to be when my son is in school full time (he's only 4 years old right now).

10. There seems to be obstacles everywhere.

    JennMcK replied to JennMcK's topic in Pre-Nursing

    Forget it, I'm not going to even bother anymore. If I have to take and pass the TEAS test then I'd rather not even try to become an LVN or an RN. The reason why is that if I never pass the test, then I will never be admitted, right? I don't think ...

    JennMcK replied to JennMcK's topic in Pre-Nursing

    I also think I did bad on the math section of the TEAS test because I wasn't prepared for it. I did not study for it or anything. I wasn't even aware that there was a test to take. I was very naive then. If I only knew then what I know now.

    JennMcK replied to JennMcK's topic in Pre-Nursing

    I'm not looking for an easy way out. It just seems like it's very hard just to get accepted into any nursing school, even LPN (which is what I'm aiming for).

    JennMcK replied to JennMcK's topic in Pre-Nursing

    Oh really? Well that's a relief, thank you for letting me know that. That's one obstacle out of the way.

    JennMcK replied to JennMcK's topic in Pre-Nursing

    Thank you. Unfortunately California makes it so much harder to get into Practical Nursing (or any Nursing) programs. I know each state is different. I'm not sure where you live, but out here it is really hard. They even have the TEAS for some CNA...

    JennMcK replied to JennMcK's topic in Pre-Nursing

    Thank you. Yeah I have a big fear of the TEAS exam for that reason (math) alone. I can't even comprehend pre-algebra without help. I would love to be able to get into the LVN program at the Grossmont Health Occupations Center in Santee, California...
