I applied this round...Still waiting to hear back! I called the admissions office and they said I should hear back by today. IM SO NERVOUS! Have you heard back yet? On your "check application status" does it say anything under status?

@leah4, Yes it was my first time taking the TEAS. I ended up scoring an 85, deciding whether I should take it again.

I took my TEAS exam Friday and just got the results, I scored an 85. It is a decent score, it puts my in the 95th percentile but I am wondering if it would be better for me to retake the exam and possibly score higher. Are there any down sides for retaking the exam? I am planning on applying to mostly California State schools and a few out of state. I have had to retake a few prereq classes so I am wondering if scoring really high would make for that. My goal is to get at least a 92. Any thoughts?

Thanks for that, I need some sort of reassurance! I won't give up!

Im actually looking into there Fall 2015 program. Just wondering, when are the app deadlines for sling 2015? My GPA is about a 3.5, Ive done about 50 hours of volunteer work at a local hospital and Ive shadowed a nurse. I still need to take my TEAS (on the 10th of Oct..Ahhh!). Good luck! =)

Question about the USF Fall 2014 application, when where the deadlines to apply to the fall program? I am looking into Fall 2015 and the website is telling me January 15th, Im thinking that is a bit late. I've called in a couple times and they keep giving me different dates...

Yes, I have been using the ATI TEAS V manual to study. I have been studying at least 2 hours a day for the past 2 weeks and I will be taking the practice exams soon. I take the TEAS on Oct. 10th. San Jose State is the closest of the nursing programs and they do not allow any repeats. Also their average GPA is 3.6 which I am pretty close to. Thanks for taking the time to read and reply! I appreciate it!

Hi everyone! Im going crazy!!! So I finally get to apply to nursing programs for Fall 2015 and as I spend time researching the different programs I am noticing that a lot of schools have a requirement where you can only repeat a prerequisite class a certain number of times. A little bit about me: I am 23, I have been going to community college right out of High school (graduated in 2010) and I have no prior degrees or certifications. About a year I was diagnosed with inattentive ADHD. Before that I took quite a few classes and ended up having to drop, get a W or fail most of them because of health, family issues, and also distractions. The community college I attend is quarter system and it is split up into a 3 class series of both anatomy and physiology mixed. 2 years ago I took BIO 40A (the first series to A&P) and ended up getting a D in the class. I retook the class a quarter later and got a B+. The following quarter I took BIO 40B and got another D, I retook the class the following quarter and got a A. Last Winter I finished Bio40C and got an A on my first try. During this time around I found out I have ADHD and I put in SO much time and effort into finding out ways to be successful in my classes (drug free btw!). I receive special accommodations: increased time and low distraction environment, with these accommodations and the amount of studying I put in I find it pretty impossible to get below a B in any of my classes. My GPA is 3.5, I know that is a bit low for nursing school especially because of the repeats. My dilemma, do I even apply to these schools that only allow you to repeat 2 prereqs. (Which I have also had to repeat chem 1a, stats, eng 1a and soc.) ? I don't know what to do. I am studying for the TEAS exam, which I will be taking soon and I just can't help but feel discouraged. Any advice would be greatly appreciated! Oh and I have been volunteering at a local hospital, I don't know how much that would really help me but it is a good experience so far.
