oh geez this would happen to us LOL. Well I guess it is another opportunity to score possibly higher. I wonder what the issue was. What I am worried about is if that first score is valid for other nursing applications? 

Your first score should still be valid! I reached out to ask why we were given an opportunity to retest and the administrator said that they were giving us  a chance to retest due to stoppages during the test (technical difficulties) which may have impacted test takers’ scores.

Hello! I'm applying to the CEP and traditional programs. I just finished my TEAS and with that included I believe I have 75 points. Does anyone know if that's enough to get accepted in? Thanks!

[Sunnyt]

Hello has anyone or know anyone who got accepted in CEP or ADN with 73 points?

I got invited! But I signed up to take it online because I was scared I wouldn’t get invited LOL. Nervous to take it because I feel like I haven’t studied enough ?

Hi ! I also got invited for traditional but I’m going to use my TEAS 6 score and test in November for the FALL 2023 CEP to see my chances ?

Hi !! What did you get on your TEAS 6 if you don’t mind me asking(:

[OGChippies, CNA]

So my situation is really crazy! I just graduated from Cal Poly Pomona with my BS in December of 2021. During Fall 2021 I was taking 25 units at CPP because I wanted to get out and graduate already! I took my TEAS 6 test on September 24, 2021 (literally midway through finals) and I didn't even study for it. I scored a 72.4 % (which isn't bad for NOT studying). But I needed to take the TEAS to apply to Nursing programs in CA.

I said screw it and applied to RCC traditional ADN for Spring 2023. They did invite me to take the TEAS 7 with them on September 16th BUT once you take this exam its permanent for a whole year. So I have decided I need to be wise with what I am doing and NOT take the TEAS 7 and instead just allow them to use my TEAS 6 score for this application cycle, even if I do not get in I am totally okay with this because I will be applying to other programs as well for Summer 2023 and Fall 2023 and I don't want to rush into the test without being fully prepared and now have to use that score for other programs. 

So with that being said, I am taking my TEAS 7 in November! I have been studying all Summer and I really want to get a great score so I can have options for which programs accept me (if God is willing)! I got interviewed in May with CBU ELMSN program and got alternated as #3 out of 15 but they wanted my TEAS Score to be at least at 80% and they wanted me to have church volunteer experience. So I did all that this Summer ? 

I am currently enrolled at RCC and doing the Nurses Assistant Training Program (NATP/CNA) for this semester just incase I do not get in anywhere I can continue on an LVN > RN > BSN pathway but you know whatever it takes right !? ?❤️ 

I am applying into multiple programs by this fall: 

CBU ELMSN for Summer 2023, RCC traditional ADN and ADN/BSN(CEP), and  CSUCI BSN are all my top choices!  I am going to be honest though, after being at RCC for just these last 3 weeks being in the SON with NATP, I am REALLY considering just staying at RCC and furthering my education here since it is more cost efficient. I also have the 300+ hours of volunteer work at RCH. Okay I am done now ! that is my life story LOL

OMG !! I’m taking NATP right now too ! What cohort are you in ?!

I just finished my TEAS test and with the grace of God I was able to get an 83.3%!! I was so scared because I honestly didn’t study much and on the practice exams I got a 70% and 78%. But I’m so relieved now ?
