  1. New TEAS V Science Section

    ZekeMass replied to nepthea's topic in TEAS Exam Help

    Yes, you can use the remaining time to recheck your answers. Then, when you are done, you press the continue button. At this point you are at an "in-between page", where you cannot go back, and...

  2. Freshman male student unable to enroll in nursing program

    ZekeMass replied to collegestudentnurse's topic in Male Nursing Students

    I would check some other schools websites. From my experience, acceptance into the nursing program in your freshman year is not the rule. Most schools that I've researched require you to complete a...

  3. Just Took The dreaded TEAS test

    ZekeMass replied to Star1278's topic in TEAS Exam Help

    (Trying not to be critical)... The original poster is attempting to do MUCH better on this test than you. A 90% overall score is in the 99th percentile. This is hard - you can miss about 1-2...

  4. Just took the HESI!!

    ZekeMass replied to kellyjo's topic in HESI Entrance, Exit Exam

    Congrats! I took the TEAS a few weeks back and felt equally relieved. I'm sure the specifics you shared will help a lot of people.

  5. Those who have taken TEAS V?

    ZekeMass replied to tammy_zeidan09's topic in TEAS Exam Help

    I had that on my test as well, and had no idea what to do with it (Haven't taken the bio classes yet). Spent the last 5 minutes of the test period analyzing the chart vs the answers and came up with...

  6. Those who have taken TEAS V?

    ZekeMass replied to tammy_zeidan09's topic in TEAS Exam Help

    It's pretty hard to study for the spelling part - trying to cram 300 commonly misspelled words in a short period of time is just going to burn said time. My advise for that part is to quickly write...

  7. New TEAS V Science Section

    ZekeMass replied to nepthea's topic in TEAS Exam Help

    You'll get a ton of info lurking the existing TEAS threads here. However, I agree that the best way to really know what you're up against is to take one of the practice tests before you start...

  8. McGraw Hill vs ATI?! HELP!

    ZekeMass replied to tammy_zeidan09's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I used both books to study. The ATI book's sample tests are more indicative of the test questions, but the McGraw Hill book has more thorough information for science. I would use the McGraw Hill...

  9. How much time did you take to study for the TEAS?

    ZekeMass replied to NellieOlsen's topic in TEAS Exam Help

    I'm not sure if this will come up in the science or math portions of these tests. It may, because I did see some statistics type questions. When you report your score as a ratio, you should report...

  10. New TEAS V Science Section

    ZekeMass replied to nepthea's topic in TEAS Exam Help

    You got the broken book! I would ask ATI to send you a new one. #6 is A, according to my answers on page 277. #12 is C. In fact, under the reasoning for #12, it mentions that option A is the topic...

  11. New TEAS V Science Section

    ZekeMass replied to nepthea's topic in TEAS Exam Help

    Here are the sections I missed from the Science part. Gives you a few points to study: Describe the functions of the digestive system. p129-130 Describe the functions of the respiratory system....

  12. New TEAS V Science Section

    ZekeMass replied to nepthea's topic in TEAS Exam Help

    I googled around too. I believe the answer in my book is correct, but the information is so new it is not yet completely understood. Research is still being conducted in this area. Don't let it bog...

  13. How did you do it?

    ZekeMass replied to FutureBSN?'s topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I believe it is hard to find a job without the BSN degree. I'm applying to two schools - one of which will require me to get my ASN, then bridge to BSN. I do know that others in the program have had...

  14. How long did it take you to complete your prerequisites?

    ZekeMass replied to julibyrd's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm also an older returning student (43). I'm only taking one "hard" class at a time, but am carrying a full load otherwise. For instance, this semester I am taking Chem 1, intro to Sociology, and...

  15. New TEAS V Science Section

    ZekeMass replied to nepthea's topic in TEAS Exam Help

    Oh that is strange. I'm on the same page (230). For that pair of questions, the book mysteriously does not give any explanation for the answers, just says 1. True, and 2. An embryo is an animal or...

  16. How did you do it?

    ZekeMass replied to FutureBSN?'s topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I see that UNC does have part time options in their RN to MSN bridge. Seems that they aren't offering the RN to BSN bridge currently though. I researched Duke in the past, and recall that their...

  17. New TEAS V Science Section

    ZekeMass replied to nepthea's topic in TEAS Exam Help

    I thought the answer said that it could happen in adults. I was actually surprised, as I hadn't learned this yet. I'll look it up again. I wish the sample questions and answers were a bit closer...

  18. How did you do it?

    ZekeMass replied to FutureBSN?'s topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Your question may be better asked of current nursing students as opposed to pre-nursing students. I've had the opportunity to speak with a few nursing students at my school who are juggling families...

  19. New TEAS V Science Section

    ZekeMass replied to nepthea's topic in TEAS Exam Help

    Woops, I type too slow

  20. New TEAS V Science Section

    ZekeMass replied to nepthea's topic in TEAS Exam Help

    Those national mean numbers were from my test, taken on November 8th. Here's how I learned the chemistry question: As you progress down the periodic table, more "shells" of electrons are added...

  21. New TEAS V Science Section

    ZekeMass replied to nepthea's topic in TEAS Exam Help

    Updated National Mean scores from early November (Seem to have gone up a bit): Reading -70.5% Math -69.0% Science -53.6% English -63.8% Overall National Mean -

  22. Is their a way i can get a hospital to pay for nursing school

    ZekeMass replied to cellphone's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    The question was not out of line. I wondered the same thing when I began my trek. Over the years, there have been times when nursing students were offered very attractive deals. I remember the...

  23. ATI TEAS V Study Guide Bundle - worth it?

    ZekeMass replied to SentimentalGeek's topic in TEAS Exam Help

    I used both, and agree that they are both helpful. The McGraw Hill guide has more information, especially in the science section. But the test questions are not very similar to the test you will have...

  24. Community college before University BSN?

    ZekeMass replied to Justin93's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    The nursing schools in my area have very specific requirements. Your community college counselor will not know as much about the requirements as the university you plan to transfer to. It is very...

  25. Should I Take Chemistry?

    ZekeMass replied to babybaker09's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    At my school, the fundamentals chemistry class seems highly geared towards nursing students. Almost daily, there is an example that applies to nursing. One semester is all you need to do well on the...
