Anybody else applying or have already applied for the BSN program at UAMS this upcoming summer? Thought I'd start a thread for us to wait it out together and pass on any info!

LivinLovinWoman 80 Posts Dec 25, 2014 Same here! I'm hoping to take mine before the Spring semester starts. Are you finished with your pre reqs?
Ash_LPNsoonRN0516 36 Posts Has 3 years experience. Dec 25, 2014 Yes I'm done with all my pre reqs. I've been an LPN for almost 2 years come February and I'm just ready to get back in. What about you?
LivinLovinWoman 80 Posts Dec 26, 2014 I still have a few to take in the Spring. Just ready to get them out of the way and (hopefully) start nursing school! Good luck on your TEAS and let me know how you do and if you hear anything from UAMS!
Ash_LPNsoonRN0516 36 Posts Has 3 years experience. Dec 26, 2014 Thank you and I sure will. Good luck to you as well with your last pre reqs. You can do it & make it!!! :)
LivinLovinWoman 80 Posts Jan 19, 2015 Well I took my TEAS yesterday. Didn't score as well as I'd hoped, but I feel a little better about it after reading the thread on here from last year though. Looks like it was about average. Now just to wait and hope to get that phone call for an interview! Have you taken yours yet?
Ash_LPNsoonRN0516 36 Posts Has 3 years experience. Jan 19, 2015 Congratulations to you Hun! Praying for you & I just took mines & didn't score well! I'm trying not to be a big baby & look to take it again in February!! Do you have any study tips? What did you use to study??
LivinLovinWoman 80 Posts Jan 19, 2015 What did you score if you don't mind me asking? If I'm not called for an interview by mid February I'll be taking it again also. I just used the ATI study manual and bought one of the online practice tests. The science is what killed me!
Ash_LPNsoonRN0516 36 Posts Has 3 years experience. Jan 19, 2015 I scored a 57.3% horrible!!! I'm sure you'll get called & get in! Prayerfully we both make it! I have been using the ATI study manual as well. Did the online practice test you purchase seem to help you more along with the manual? I think my nerves are getting the best of me.
LivinLovinWoman 80 Posts Jan 19, 2015 Well I only got a 70.7 so not much better! It helped in terms of knowing what to expect. I read a lot of people on here saying it was harder than the actual test but I scored higher on the practice test. You can also get the Mcgraw Hill app and quizlet to study on the go. Good luck on your next go around! I'm sure you'll get high enough to get in. You're already so close!
Ash_LPNsoonRN0516 36 Posts Has 3 years experience. Jan 19, 2015 Awwww thanks, I will check those out & just study more. Girl you scored great!!! Yeah I've been reading too about the practice test being harder than the actual, but I will give it shot & keep you updated & you keep me updated as well!!!
