I failed my first semester of nursing school 2 months ago. When I failed I thought it was over like there was nothing left to give and I didn't understand why. After seeing my instructor we spoke about me moving forward. When summer came I tried taking my last general class but soon dropped the class. I became depressed and got sick. Eventually I found a way to move forward. I began to exercise, work more, and open the book to the class I failed. Fast forwarding to now, I am only taking the class I failed and doing much better and there are only 6 weeks left. I kept getting sick and decided to leave my job, once I saved up enough, and to focus on what I always wanted to do, school. When I say sick I mean my hair began to fall out in chunks, my body became weak, my weight went up and down, and I began to get these awful headaches. I've even started to developed a bald spot on my head. Now I am focusing on doing what makes me happy and taking care of my health. As I am doing that I am also practicing lab skills, seeing a tutor for pharmacology, and hoping I can get a job as a PCT/CNA as soon as I finish this semester and do what needs to be done to land a job in the healthcare field. I just wanted to share a little bit of what happened to me and what I am doing now. I would like to read about others and what they did.

Angmcav thank you so much ! I was accepted into Kokomo Campus (:

Thank you so much, this is extremely helpful. Definitely going to study. I've tooken APHY102, but it's been over year so definitely going to have to re-study a few things.

37changes just yesterday I received email and accepted for the ASN. I didn't retake the TEAS and I'm glad I didn't even if I didn't score as great as I'd hope for. Now I'm kinda lost if I'm supposed to wait to get an email that asl me to get my background check, vaccination records, and all other things. I'm excited and happy.

Hi ladies ! A little late, but I kept finding this thread pop up and have read through the comments for months. I take the TEAS Tuesday and am extremely nervous. I've been holding off for a 1 1/2 years because I wasn't confident enough. I began studying January 2017 like crazy for an entire week. I didn't know where to start with the ATI manual because I was so nervous. It was also hard for me to study because of my previous job. Working the entire week and doing 12 hour shifts every 2 weeks and more on weekdays took a lot of energy out of me while going to school. I was going to apply for Fall semester, but I had so much going on and slowly brushed it off. By the time I realized the deadline was a month away and how much I didn't know I decided I wasn't going to do it. I quit my job a month ago and decided that this was more important and I didn't want to wait any longer. Seeing how everyone is taking their TEAS and what they did to study and the scores they've reached has truly motivated and inspired me. With that said, I'm applying for Spring term at Kokomo and little late on taking the TEST A from the ATI. I've read comments from others that it is easier to get in for Spring because not many apply. My goal is to score at least an 85 on the TEAS. I'm excited and nervous all at the same time and hope to continue reading the stories, comments, and tips from this thread!

Hi Mtambala what did you score overall to get into the Kokomo campus?

Same here. I've been looking up videos on how to study, what to expect, and even considering getting a tutor to help me on my weak areas.
