TEAS test today! Good luck to all those taking it :)

Got my rejection letter today :/ applying again in June. Good luck to the rest of you!

Don't be so hard on yourself. I am taking all my science classes a semester at a time. I have Chemistry and Microbiology left. It has been a slow process but I'm paying for it on my own and not every student can say that they have no debt in college. Do what is right for yourself and you will be fine:yes:

I was in this predicament last week during my A&P2 exam. I was sick and on medication so it was very hard to focus, and studying for it during the weekend was even more difficult. I got a D on it. I'm disappointed but I'm kind of surprised I even did that well considering. Just power through it and I'm sure you'll do better next time.

What age did you decide to go into nursing? 20 When did you graduate? Still doing pre-reqs :) AND... what field were you in prior to that?? I work for a school district as an aide I don't think you are ever to old to pursue something you want.

At my school, Psychology is one of the prerequisites for the nursing program. So yes, it can definitely relate to nursing since you are dealing with many different people all day.

At my school, a student cant take A&P 2 without first finishing A&P1; and we cant take Micro without first taking a Biology and a Chemistry. If you do want to double up, I would take A&P1 and Chem, then A&P2 and Micro. I just started back at school again today and the first thing my A&P2 teacher said was don't take this class with another science. But it all depends on the student, so if you think you can do it... Do it! And good luck

I'm not going to pretend like I have medical experience because well I'm not in nursing school yet. But I did have case studies for my A&P class and I believe there is supposed to be some more information about this "John Adams", other than the poor guy bleeding everywhere...

Thanks everyone for the advice! It was very helpful.

Thank you! I will just continue doing what I'm doing and taking a few classes at a time and hopefully be able to sign up at the end of the year. At least I can say I'm debt free. Thanks for the assurance :)

Thanks for replying! It might be different from our schools but how long did your science pre-reqs last? I just started taking them last semester.

Hello everyone! I am a long time lurker on this website, and I finally decided to make an account because I need some advice. So, I started my long process of becoming a nurse in January 2013. That was my first semester of college and now here I am 2 years later. I am going to be starting my semester next week, and am taking A&P2 and Communications. I have Chemistry and Microbiology left after that and than I can sign up for my school nursing program!!! I guess the reason I made this thread was because some of my family members have been criticizing me saying I am taking to much time, or whenever I see some they ask if I am in nursing school yet. I have been taking classes part time and saving up money, so I am currently debt free in college; but I'm wondering if they are right? Am I taking to long? Sorry this turned into kind of a rant:shy: any advice is much appreciated. And have a good day everyone!
