Yea that sounds about right for the TEAS when I took it, I hope I will not have to take it again. Patho is not that bad, if you liked A&P, pahto is in a sense the opposite. Patho is were you'll get into the disease process of major systems of the body and as a nurse how to recognize the signs, symptoms and how to assess it all. Etiology will be your favorite word coming out of patho, keep a good A&P book for reference and you should be fine. Hope to see you on campus

@ Jphan Yea I took the TEAS a while ago what admissions, rep are you working with? I am editing my personal statement and hoping to submit that soon. Is this your first degree?

Congratulations!!! The comment about your immunizations is correct, but you will most likely not be doing a clinical rotation your first semesters and if that is the case, just check to see if you are up to date on all your series type shots. Ensure you have all your questions answered and know your schedule, teachers, room assignments ... the basic stuff. If you know of someone that went to the school you are going to pick their brain and ask for a syllabus from someone that is finishing the courses you are going into (just to get a feel of the content). Make sure you keep an A&P book (just for reference), and get your mind reading for pathophysiology (basically the abnormal side of A&P), Fundamentals (foundation of the nursing profession), and maybe Health Assessments (how to assess the diseases learned in patho). If you discovered that you are weak in an area identified by your pre reqs., lightly go over that material especially if it pertains to the classes you are about to take (calculations/conversions, heart, body systems, etc.) and remember you made it this far so when no one is looking go ahead and dance a little!!! Best of luck DT

Hey Jphan, The TEAS for Stratford is version V and they only look at the reading section, though you will take the whole exam (or at least I did at another institution). I think the requirement is 65% or 70% for the reading section, you will also need two letters of recommendation and a personal statement. I'm hopping to be there in October how about yourself?

Stephanie, Are you attending Stratford? I'm looking to attend the school myself but will have to bring up my GPA due to being pulled out of school for military reasons. I went to the Falls Church site and toured the campus and the admissions personnel are really helpful and class sizes are small. Have you taken the Teas? Best of luck DT

I know this post is a little old, I am moving from NC to IL and applying to ECC. Did any of you future nurses apply while still taking your prereqs, or did you already have them done? I have a BS in Biology and figure I'll need to take one or two psy classes and the dreaded PSB test. Any insight will be helpful and please let me know if you are still on campus. Thanks
