I'm in a similar situation. I have a not so good gpa with a BS in Biology. I am going to an ADN program that based its admission solely on your TEAS exam score at my local community college. I would also like to be NP or CRNA someday. I figured I would have will have a fresh start and a chance to show my abilities. I figured I could start working somewhere with an ADN while I get my BSN online. It may take a little longer this way but with my gpa its the best option I have.

I don't think LPNs get preference over other students because the only thing they base their decision on is the TEAS exam score. You should read the nursing packet if you haven't already and go to one of the information sessions, I found they helpful and alot of my questions were answered. I don't believe there is priority for when you send in your application as long as it is in the petitioning period. They look at all of the applications at once. They first get rid of the applications that are incomplete (missing child abuse checks, missing high school transcript, etc.). Once they get rid of those they look at the TEAS scores and accept the highest 96 scores for the day program and the highest 32 for the evening. I have heard that LPNs can advance to the 2nd year of the program but they don't get preference over non-LPNs that apply. Everyone has an equal chance :)

Anyone applying to Delaware County Community College's Fall 2012 Nursing Program? I am and I am also scheduled to take the TEAS in a few weeks. What did you think of the TEAS exam? I took the prep class and found it somewhat helpful in terms of focusing my studying. Anyone have to take the TEAS more than once to get the score they wanted? Share your scores if you don't mind and If you reading this and you are already in the program what scores did you get on the TEAS and how do you like the program so far?
