you CANNOT eat me!
Look them in the eye, smile big and say, "Wow, were you always this good?" Slightly backhanded compliment that might get them to think about when they were new and weren't always THAT good!

TEAs Test Preparation
There were word problems yes. They were the kind that give you more info than you need and you have to be able to pick out what you need to solve the problem. Just read through them carefully and make sure youunderstand what they are asking for and don't let all the info overload freak you out.

TEAs Test Preparation
In my opinion buy the review book. It is worth it. The way the questions are formatted in the review are exactly how they are on the test. You can always sell it to an up and coming teas test taker when you are finished. I got a 92.9 by using the review book.

TEAS Breakdown questions
Also make sure you know the terms of statistics, and there is a lot of comma/semi-colon placement questions too. Also know Centigrade/Farenheit conversion formula forward and backward. The study guide really gives you an idea of how the questions are worded as well. One month should be sufficient for studying as well as a review a few days before the test. Take the online sample test too if you can. Good Luck!

RN to BSN online
OK here is my situation. I have a BS in Secondary Education Science and am now interested in transitioning to nursing. I have missed the deadlines to get into the 2nd degree BSN programs near me and would have to wait at least a year to get started in any of them. So I am thinking about getting my ADN RN from an inexpensive local community college which should start Fall of 09 and graduate me at the end of Spring of 11 and then taking an RN to BSN online program after I graduate while I work and gain experience as an RN(getting back into the workfoce ASAP is my priority). I scored a 93 on my TEAS test so I am pretty sure that I have a spot in this program. My concerns are that I have had a ton, and I mean a ton(hence my username prfstudnt for professional student lol), of science and math classes, but they are getting "old" and I don't want to have to repeat anything if I can help it. The only science classes I haven't taken are Micro and Advanced A&P. Price per credit hour, length of program, and accredidation are my criteria for choosing my RN to BSN transition. I need it to be accredited so that I may pursue a CRNA at a later date. I also would like to avoid clinicals if possible in the transition program. So given my education and my experience upon graduating from my ADN, which RN to BSN online program would be the best for my situation? I also thought I read that one of the online RN to BSN programs let you start early while you are in the last year of your ADN RN? Is that true? That would be great! The goal is RN with BSN as quickly as possible and as cheaply as possible. I am tired of going to school and need to make $$$!
