2 schools 2 TEAS V tests

[nursinghopeful1111]

I have applications in at two schools. They both require the TEAS V. I was told by both programs I was welcome to take the TEAS at another facility and have ATI forward my results.

One school conducts interviews after the TEAS if they have time, the other school there isnt an interview.

The schools are a good drive for me either way in the opposite direction. 30 mins and 1 hour.

Im scheduled to take the TEAS at both places right now..but Im wondering if I should just take it at one place..or do you think they might bypass me if they think Im so interested in another program that I didnt bother to come take the TEAS at THEIR facility...?

Personally, I wouldn't do that! Id go to the school closest to me and if I was happy with that score, id send the transcript to the other school. Id only retake it if I wasn't happy with my first score.

School understand that students out of the area are applying to their program so won't think twice about where you took the test. Also, be careful about how many times you take it. The program I'm applying to allows us to take it as many times as we want BUT we can only take it every 6 months (or maybe that's a TEAS rule...? not sure). All in all, I doubt the schools even know where you took it since ATI will be providing the test results whether they are taken on one campus or the other; look at ATI like a third, impartial party.

And GOOD LUCK!! You can do it!!
