I thought I would begin a thread for everyone applying to the nursing program at Riverside City College for the spring 2016. Hope we can share about our process here. :)
Currently, I'm finishing up my Anatomy/Physiology 2 and Sociology 100 at CSUSB. So far, I've been doing well, I think haha! If I finish with an A in sociology I'll have a 4.0 for my general eds and a 3.0 for my science gpa. After the spring quarter, I'll be studying for the TEAS exam for a little over a month and take the exam in July. Any advice that's related to the TEAS exam?
Hope we can begin this thread. Best wishes to everyone here! :)
Hey everyone ! Quick question... For those who took the TEAS at LLU-SN. Was this at their school or nursing building and how much was parking ? Just trying to prep and eliminate as many surprises as possibly tomorrow. Thank you :)
So I took the TEAS exam today and let's just say I didn't do well on it. I'm entering the application process with a total of 70 points. Well, my chances are really atrocious. I let myself down big time.
I'm probably going to have to take a CNA course but that's what I was trying to avoid. I'm really not looking forward to December.
I took the TEAS today, although I know my score wasn't to the best of my ability is was more than enough to place me in the 78-89 category which added 30 points to my previous 55! All together I have 85 points so I'm excited. Good luck to everyone who still has to take the TEAS!
For the math, I found it very helpful to watch the study videos from mometrix on YouTube! That saved my math score so much compared to the practice tests!
Jeannette - The CNA course is fun and usually only like a month long depending where you take it at! With that you should have a much better chance! Good luck to you, I wish you the very best :) Don't be discouraged!
I found the ATI helpful for every section besides math. Most of the stuff I came across was from the ATI manual so I would definitely say study from there. I forgot about so many things when it came to math that I actually needed to be refreshed and the Mometrix videos were like being in class relearning. Very helpful!
Don't worry, you'll do fine! I found it to be a tad bit easier than I expected, the practice tests on the website are much harder. I was scoring in the 60s on those and that worried me!
I only studied for about a week.. But mostly within 2 days haha. The anxiety kept me from concentrating every time I attempted to study within the last month.
Wow 2 days?? I will check out Momentrix. For science they don't seem to help me much (momentrix) So you just read the book? I have been told I should be doing flash cards and all?? But I don't have time for all that!
I agree I didn't have time for flashcards either. Yea, I went over the Reading and English sections in the ATI manual within the last month.. And the two days I spent going through everything involved with math and science because those were the sections I was most worried about. I do better when everything is fresh rather than spread out over time, some people don't.

How was the science section ? I've gone over everything in the book but when I take practice test there are questions that were not covered in the book. I've been taking practice test and not doing as well as I hope. I'm really worried I'm not going to do good. 😕
