Teas V vs job.

Published

I was gonna take the TEAS today... except I somehow couldn't. I don't know if I should retake it in a few weeks...or get a job? Or somehow do both?

:( I literally was there...but..didn't take it. So annoying. I have anxiety.

Today the anxiety was where I couldn't take the teas. I usually have to like, have someone w/ me. But I had someone go with me today but that didn't help either.

Okay, well, what should I do?

I think it's more important to be honest with yourself. Do you think you can be a nurse with this high level of anxiety, at this time? I would advise you to maybe speak to a professional that can help you manage your anxiety before anything else.

I completely agree. There are a ton of major exams, research papers, reports, etc throughout nursing school, and of course, it's a high stress/anxiety job. I think working and tackling the anxiety might be a smart path, then get started on nursing school stuff.
