Teas Test

Nursing Students TEAS

Published

So I have decided to enlist in the marines after finishing my undergrad prereq's and then afterward go back to nursing school. The marines will at most take a 1 year and 5 months to finish boot camp, and MOS training. I want to take my teas during my undergrad like this August so that all the things I learned are fresh in my mind when I take the test, but a year and 5 months from then will I have to retake the teas test or can I use the test score that I take now for after marine training? I go to TWU so thats why I said TEAS but I guess Ill be taking the HESI as well.

You will have to retake the test. Most schools will only accept a test score that has been taken within one year of the application period. For example, I applied for Nursing school in Feb. They required that my TEAS test had been taken in the last 12 months.

Also, I know that they are switching to the TEAS VI in August so it would be worthwhile waiting. I would hate for you to take the TEAS V and then find out that your program of choice requires the TEAS VI. Especially because its not a cheap test to take! Good luck.

I would assume you are joining reserves? I doubt you'll be able to apply to nursing school on active duty
