I just got in Cocoa program starting Monday with 34 points, a very high TEAS 4.0 and a very high GPA with my completed AA. They say they don't use the GPA because some people may have taken fluffy easy classes while other taken more difficult science...
I just found out I am scheduled to take teas 4 on the 25th of Jan. Very short notice, so I am stressed. I went to Barnes and Noble and bought the TEAS V book because that was all they had. Do you think it will be OK using V for teas 4? I need some k...

Hi firewife777, I am getting ready to apply. I take the teas on the 25th. How about you? Have you done all the required items? I am concerned about the points. I have 28 points and a GPA of 3.81. I am finishing my last class for AA and it is Co...

She'll be 52 whether in school or not!! I love your Aunt! I will also be 52 when I finish my RN program. (If I pass this TEAS test this month) GO for it! I have made such good friends with some sweet young future nurses. A couple of them that I...

Good luck to you, I am a 50 yr old student. Just finished all prereqs. I believe it is never too late. Don't give up regardless of whether they are too old.

I think that you have asked a legitimate question. As a student I also would like to hear it from the "nurses" all around the country themselves, rather than turn to a "website" that may need updated or is based on one place. Of the 31 comments, I be...

Wow, lots of info and opinions. I appreciate everyones thoughts. I am almost afraid to ask, but what is an OP? It appears, despite my age, the BS may be the better route. If I understand my CC advisor correctly, I can actually do my BSN through a...

Ok, that makes sense. So which would you do if you could have your choice? I thought I had everything mapped out and was on a perfect course to get in the program by doing my prereq's at the CC and getting in their program. Now I have new prereq's w...

I don't have an answer for you since I am still a student myself. I just wanted to say congratulations and good luck. I hope you get some feed back from a "seasoned interviewee" soon.
