Study up for the TEAS! Do not underestimate how hard it is. I watched a lot of khan academy on YouTube, bought an online practice test and the study guide. I scored an 87. Science was hardest for me, I got an 80%. I scored 97% in the reading, and a 9...
The advisors at South Bend seem to tell everyone to apply to both LPN and ASN, I only applied to ASN because I scored an 86 on the TEAS. I hope that wasn't a bad choice! Haha! I've heard that at South Bend, 80 is kind of "the benchmark" score they lo...
I was told to shoot for at least 135-140 points and an 80 on the TEAS by the advisors. I scored an 86.7 and am still considering applying to both LPN and RN because I know how competitive entrance is. What campus are you applying to.

I turned in my app yesterday. Did anyone apply to both RN and PN? Do most people apply to both "just in case?" I have no idea what a "good" point score is!
I emailed the Dean and asked with my TEAS if she'd recommend a retake or that I apply to both the ASN and LPN. She basically said (in not these exact words) that a score in the 80s is really good.
I am applying to ASN North Central (South Bend). I scored an 87 on the TEAS and had an A in A&P101/102 and Psych. I took the AP Test and tested out of Freshman English when I got my first degree (6 years ago), and I got a B in the second English ...

I am applying to Ivy Tech North Central (South Bend). I took the TEAS today and got an 86.7%....I am pretty happy with that! I have all A's in the 3 pre-requisites, so I'm hoping that's good enough. I'm not sure how competitive South Bend area is.
I am planning to apply for the ASN on the South Bend campus next Fall, but was wondering if anyone can tell me how the clinicals/scheduling works? How many days are you in class/lab, and how many days in clinicals. Thanks in advance for the feedback ...
I have a BA in a non-nursing field, and have decided to go back to school to purse SOME KIND of degree in nursing, but I am at a crossroads. I know I eventually want to be an FNP. My parents are both FNPs and I am 100% sure that is my ultimate educat...
Yes, I had a 3.9 undergrad GPA, I did well on the TEAS and GRE and I had As in Chem, Micro, and A&P. However, I need to begin a program soon since I graduated college in 2009...they will expire soon.
I have considered that...although I do prefer the nursing model, I live too far away from any PA programs and I haven't yet found one that allows didactics online and clinicals in my home community!
I have considered that, but it kind of brings the same issue as the direct-entry program for NPs: there isn't one within 90 miles of where I live, and I'm not sure there are any online programs with clinicals in the home community.
