TEAS or DEAT?

Published

I have decided to go for an LPN through adult education in my state. There are two schools that I am interested in. I am leaning towards the school that offers a night program. One of the schools requires that you pass the TEAS. The other school requires that you pass the Diagnostic Educational Assessment Test. Most know what the TEAS is. The latter is a test with 12th-grade math and English level components, no science. I have been studying for the TEAS (learning a lot thanks to youtube and "crash course"). The school that does not require the TEAS teaches the exact same material, has the same clinic times, and prepares you for the state exam. This is my question (for those that have been there). Do you think taking the school that only requires the DEAT and offer night classes is as good as the school that requires the TEAS? Thank you. Ken

I wouldn't be too concerned with the required entrance exam.. there are several on the market TEAS, HESI, PAX, DEAT.... the required learning objectives and clinical hours are dictated by the state Board of Nursing.. so compare the programs by looking at reviews, NCLEX pass rates, accreditation, attrition rates, costs, etc... then make your decision.
