Just wanted to update that I made it into the program! I am super excited and a little scared at the time same time! I prayed God's will and so I'm walking through the door He has opened!!

Thanks for your replies. I could have only retaken before June 14 (Darton's last TEAS test date) and would have to retake at another site and that's just not feasible for me this semester. I'm just hoping for the best. If I don't get accepted for the Fall, I'll study harder for the TEAS and try again for the Spring. After that...I don't know. I already have a BA, so I didn't need any classes except AP1,2, and Micro.

Hi, I took my first TEAS V test today at Darton and though I was labeled "Proficient" I totally bombed it with an Adjusted Individual Total Score of 59.3%! I am really dismayed at this because I studied and studied. The science portion was extremely difficult and my score showed at 37.5%. I hardly recognized any questions from the study guide. It was my last section, and I was completed drained after completing it. Math wasn't much better with 50%. Reading was 81% and ELU was 70%. My GPA is 3.04 and I'm currently taking AP2 this summer. I was so hoping to get into the Cordele track, which only accepts students in the Fall. I could just cry. What are my chances????

Hi, I would really appreciate some advice and apologize that this is a little wordy! I am contemplating applying for the ADN program at Darton College for the Fall 2014. If I am accepted, the program dictates that I would have to take Micro within the first year. My thought is that I should complete it within the first semester along with Fundamentals and Pharmacology, which is the college prescribed course load rather than within the second semester with Adult Health 1. How doable is this along with Fundamentals and Pharmacology? I am not a strong science student in general and though I currently have a high A average in AP1 this semester and anticipate the same in AP2 (with a lot of prayer :)), which I will complete in the summer, it doesn't come easily for me especially with significant test anxiety. My other option is to apply for the Spring program and take Micro in the Fall. I already have a BA, and have no other core classes I can take for the ADN program and have the core completed for the BSN as well. A saving grace for me currently is that I do not work and my priorities are: my daughter (solo mom to a wonder 8 yo - dad in another state) and school. I was laid off in November and with severance, savings, and student loans, I hope to be able to get my ADN without having to enter back into the work force. I feel like by not taking the chance and applying for the Fall program, I am wasting a semester on just Micro especially since I can only take one class during the summer (AP2). However, I don't want to overload myself with taking Micro in my first year of nursing either. Thanks for your advice!
