Hi Courtneyfaith, Yes, I didn't think about leaving MIC out of the select GPA. Yes, I've attended the initial information session, but now I'm waiting for the one given to those that are ready to apply. I actually was feeling okay about my grades but then I started reading the stats from those that applied last year and I got really scared. I probably won't take the TEAS until the summer, I need to brush up on my math. I just wanted to get an idea of the difficulty level. I had a friend who took the HESI to enter the community college RN program and so I was wondering if maybe the TEAS was comparable to it.

Hello everyone, I'm so glad I found this. I'm also applying for Spring 2014, although I'm freaking out big time. I need some words of encouragement to keep me going:( I have my undergrad in Life Science from ASU (3.45 gap). I originally intended to apply for a PA program but then decided to look into nursing and i think it would work better for me all the way around. Unfortunately although I've taken a lot of science classes (genetics, cell bio, ecology, animal phys, o chem, & gen chem) none of them (except chem) really helped with the pre-reqs for nursing, so needless to say deciding to pursue nursing rather than PA was a hard decision. So now I'm here and have been trying to take as many classes as I can hadle to be able to apply this year. I have two small kids and I feel like I'm drowning. I'm currently taking BIO 201, HCR220 and MIC 206. I'm doing good but I'm barely hanging on to my As, I am trying so hard because this is my only chance to raise my GPA so that I stay competitive. Reading all the posts at the beginning really frightened me, I now that if I A my classes the highest I can bring my gap to is 3.8 (assuming ALL As). I'm worried because I don't have a backup plan, I've already invested so much time in school and if I don't get in it will be another wasted year. Do you guys know how difficult the TEAS is? Does anyone know how it compares to the GRE? I'm hoping we can communicate through the rest of the year, I need support from others that are going through the same stressful situation, here's where I stand: CDE232 - A CHM101 - A in lecture / B in lab PSY101 - A STATS - A MIC lecture B / MIC Lab - in progress at ASU Tempe (I know I'm not getting an A, it's prob going to be a B) HCR220 - ASU I think I'll get an A BIO201 - ASU Tempe I have an A but barely hanging on BIO202 - Summer 1 2013 NTR - Summer 2 2013 HCR - fall 2013 Any thoughts are appreciated, I know all of you can relate to my anxiety and stress:). Thank you all!
