Hi all! I’m searching for some advice from nurses and nursing students. I want to become and nurse and I can’t decide if I should get past the fear of nursing school or just move on. Some background information- I graduated from college in 2010 with a degree in pre-nursing, meaning I took all of my pre-requisites (with A’s and B’s). I applied to several nursing programs and was accepted to Nova and Keiser. However, I had a stable job at the time with an above average salary and decided to pursue a sales career instead. Fast forward 10 years- I am 31 years old and continue to live with the regret of not completing my goals and simply giving up. I think back to all of my hard work and dedication during my pre-requisite courses and can’t believe I just gave up. I have the constant thought of reapplying and just going for it. Recently my bf had major back surgery and I was caring for him during his recovery, at the hospital and at home. The way I felt knowing I was helping someone heal and made a difference in their life is the reason why I wanted to be a nurse in the first place. But to be honest, the thought of going to nursing school intimidates me, especially since it would be a major career change at this point in my life. I’m so confused and don’t know if I should apply to the Keiser accelerated BSN program. Any advice or insights you need can offer me would really help me in making my decision. Thank you!!

Hey there! I'm planning on applying to the Spring program anytime within the next 2 weeks. However, I took my TEAS twice and got a score of %71 both times. My prerequisite gpa is a 3.06, which is not so high. I would really like to retake the TEAS, now that I clearly know my weak areas, but I don't know if they'll allow me to do so. What do you guys think about my situation?

I'm waiting to apply for the Spring 2012 term. By then my gpa should be a 3.0 which is low, but I'm still willing to try. As for the science gpa, I'm not sure what I would have. Does any one know if they count every science class ever taken, or just the prereqs??

I hope they don't count because I would then have my gpa drop to a 2.7. I don't do well in English classes, lol. I took my TEAS about a week ago and scored a 70%. That was without studying and literally cramming some science information like 3 hours before the test. It's really not a complicated test but I do recommend going over the basics. I plan on taking it in about a month so I could actually have time to study and prepare for it. Check this out: http://lgdata.s3-website-us-east-1.amazonaws.com/docs/231/218011/TEAS-V_Summary_and_Objectives.pdf After taking the test I realized that this website really does have everything that will be on the test!

Thank you!!! I'm so glad they don't count it because this has been stressing me all week. Do you think I have a chance of getting in for the Spring semester with a 3.06 gpa and a high TEAS score? Given that I'm studying for my teas and I WILL do good (with all the positive energy I'm giving out, of course +++)

Does the natural science include only the pre-reqs or any science course? Cause with microbiology lab, my gpa becomes a 2.5, without it I would have a 3.06.
