trying to get into nursing school

[TokidokiDie]

Hi Everyone or anyone who sees this post. I have been trying to get into nursing school right now, ive done all my pre requisites at a community college, i have taken the TEAs test about 4 times with a score of 70%. and I've tried to study for the test. I am losing hope, because i feel like im getting rejected. So far i have applied for National University two times, with one more chance. ive applied at all the community colleges with deny notifications. I have worked in the healthcare as an ER tech for more than 13 years and i dont know what else to do. thank you for reading this.

I'm not trying to discourage, but here's a little perspective to think about.

You're basically competing for a seat in a class usually consisting of around 16 students and there's probably over 200 other people trying to get into the same class. Remember, some of those people trying to get in to the class have already been "wait listed" from prior admission periods too.

This is why your TEAS (HESI A2) or whatever admission scores are so important. 70% seems like a reasonable score for admission into other college courses, but in nursing it's brutally competitive and therefore you have to achieve a really high score to stand a chance of positioning yourself above the rest of the crowd. In the reality of things, just achieving the mandated passing score on the TEAS just isn't going to cut it.

One option is to find a school that has a larger class size. This is truly a numbers game and like playing the lottery, that statistically provides you with an increased chance of winning at this school admission game.

So my advice is to hit the study books, and hit them really hard for a long time.
