Published

Hello !

Is any one applying for this fall 2020 Cohort? OC location the deadline is April 15th 2020.

@Ashley Symone I may be biased, but I think our expectations were very good! ? By the way, what other schools are you planning on applying to? ?

LOL! So im from the east coast so my choices are based by programs of course but also due to me wanting a change in environment for a while.. I'm applying to Seton hall as well as pace university but hoping for Charles drew ultimately just so I can get a way while studying. Are you from California? Also when do you think you're going to take the TEAS?

@Ashley Symone I live in Southern California, and I really hope you get into USF b/c I know California will gladly welcome you! Those are great schools! A school on the east coat that I've been hesitantly looking at is Johns Hopkins Uni (not sure if they'd even accept me), but I'm still on the fence b/c I'm not sure I could be as brave as you to move to another state!

I'm planning on taking the TEAS in August or September since (although I haven't been able to figure out when the 2020 deadline to apply is, based on last year's November 30th deadline) I'm assuming the deadline will be November 30th again. This way, if I completely bomb the first time I take the test, I'll have enough time to study again and reschedule/retake the test!

I've also begun been looking at ABSN schools, so taking the test in August/September will allow me to apply to CSULA (they require TEAS as well), whose deadline is also November 30th!

Have you looked into any ABSN programs?

Has anyone called admissions for a status on the applications?

thanks I have looked into ABSN programs as well.. they seem to be a little pricey at the schools I've seen. I'm also hoping to take the TEAS in august for the same reason as you. As far as charles drew I was told it would be best to apply in sept.. not sure if you have facebook but I just came across this group that seems pretty helpful with the TEAS and whats on it ... I wish you the best on your journey!!

@FutureNurseTayler I have not! However, I strongly believe we'll know their decision by week 10! Crossing my fingers!! ?

@Ashley Symone You're right, unfortunately, many ABSN programs seem quite pricey! The only ideal priced schools I've seen so far are the state schools in California!

Thank you so much for the great resource! I will absolutely be checking it out and tweak my plan accordingly!! Here's my current game plan:

-Study for about 1-2 hours per day, 1.5-2 months before taking the test.

- For study material I'll probably use these 2 books (if you copy and paste them into Amazon, they'll pop up!):

Book 1: ATI TEAS Secrets Study Guide: TEAS 6 Complete Study Manual, Full-Length Practice Tests, Review Video Tutorials for the Test of Essential Academic Skills, Sixth Edition

Book 2: ATI TEAS 6 Study Guide: Spire Study System and ATI TEAS VI Test Prep Guide with ATI TEAS Version 6 Practice Test Review Questions for the Test of Essential Academic Skills, 6th edition

- After reading through both books, find TEAS practice tests that I can use to highlight where I need to study more.

- Read up on the areas I didn't do as well in, then take another practice tests. Repeat this step until I feel confident taking the test. I want to complete at least 5 practice tests before I officially take the test!

All that said to also say...hopefully we get into USF, and don't have to take the TEAS! ??

Adding my 2cents. I personally did an ABSN program. Although cal state programs are cheaper, from my understanding they take longer from acceptance to start. An ABSN or even a school like west coast can start as early as a few months after acceptance. Also ABSN programs are generally faster. This will save money in the long run. Considering the average new grad salary in SoCal is $60k the cost/benefit is 30k for 6 months and 60k for 1 year. Time = money!

Also regarding the TEAS I would recommend the following study regime:

Use the TEAS online assessment A & B tests: https://atitesting.com/TEAS/basic-package/.

1. Take assessment A to see where you are at and what sections you are weak in. ATI creates the TEAS and the assessment test so you will get a good feel for the question types and test format.

2. Then use the ATI studybook or buy one on amazon. I didn't really like the ATI one. Study and refine your weak areas.

3. Take the assessment B test for a final assessment and after fine tune any studying

Good luck and more info about TEAS and how to get into nursing school can be found here: https://how2becomeanurse.com/free-guide/

Hello everyone. I also applied for this program at the OC campus back in April, and I'm awaiting my acceptance. Does anyone know anyone who is currently in the program or has been in the program? It would be great to hear from people who have went through the ME-MSN program who could give insight as to the quality of education, clinical placements, is the program worth the cost, etc?

Hello, would love to hear someone’s experience about this school too. I’m applying to ABSN programs as well. I got into one that costs about 34K and finishes in 18 months.
MEPN vs ABSN seem so similar to me. Just 2 slightly different paths to get to a NP level
