Questions on the TEAS test

1. The TEAS material is info that you should have learned in high school. As schools and level of courses that you took in school can vary widely, some learn the info in school, while others do not. I strongly suggest purchasing the ATI study materials. The book will have all the info you need to learn or re-teach yourself the info. I had been out of high school for about 15 years when I took the teas, and the ATI study materials helped me tremendously. I studied them for approx. 3 months and took many practice tests as well. I ended up scoring a 92%.

2. Different schools will be different. However, expect to spend at least 3 years to earn your ADN. My school takes 4 years of full-time attendance to earn an ADN. Reason being, that the pre-reqs and gen-ed required for the ADN are the equivalent of a degree themselves! So, basically, at my school, you earn your AS degree in human biology, and that is the requirement to apply for the ADN program. Therefore, it took 4 years, but I did get 2 degrees out of it, and the RN-BSN bridge at my local university is only 1 year to earn a BSN.

3. Not sure about CRNA programs. I was under the impression that you needed a couple of years of critical care/ICU experience to be able to apply, but not sure if that is accurate or not. It might only be 1 year, but either way, you'll want to know if critical care will hire new grads in your area. If you have to work your way up to ICU, it could take much longer before you can get into a CRNA program.
