Thanks for the info nurse2b... That's awesome to hear!!!!

Wban- I am also considering getting a job in the medical field after the first semester! I was also thinking of cna or an externship. I think it would be good because you would have an insiders point of view and it would open the door for us when we finish school! :)

Just got the invite to take the TEAS via email. I've already taken it for another school so I'll be forwarding them my results.

From the EMAIL:

"Last semester the average TEAS score was an 84 of those accepted.

Supplemental applications will be distributed via email in early August. You will be provided 5 working days to complete and submit to us."

Good luck all!

Yay I just got my teas invite also! Good luck to everyone who is taking it! I will be studying a lot the next few weeks since it's due aug 15!

Just got my e-mail too! :yeah:

What an awesome feeling it is to get the actual TEAS invite e-mail.

I am so excited! So much so, that I am having a hard time concentrating on studying! LOL

Will start hitting the TEAS study guide next week after finals. Good luck everyone!

CONGRATS EVERYONE. I checked this site first coz I knew if someone got an email they'd post. THANK YOU.

Okay, I'm gonna go check my email now........pray, pray, pray! :uhoh3:

Darn, no email. Hopefully they go out in batches? Does anyone know? I'm hoping no news is good news, at least for now. I'm going to make sure my application made it -- now I'm worried. NursingCAS calculated my GPA as of 6/28/11 and said the school would be able to see as soon as calculated/verified. I'll keep you all posted

Hi everyone!

Completely new here.

But, I got the e-mail for the TEAS invitation and immediately went searching the net about info from other folks about it!

I am SO excited!

Congrats girlwarrior! Have you been studying the TEAS already? How's it going?

I just called the admissions office and apparently I was verified by NursingCAS, and was considered eligible, BUT I FORGOT TO INCLUDE MY CHEM I COURSE ON MY APPLICATION UNDER THE COURSEWORK -- DOH!!! I can't believe I did that because I have lots of courses and thought I went line-by-line on my transcripts when reviewing. I must have stepped away for something and missed it when I came back. Ugh. I hate when that happens (Boo).

Fortunately, one of the ladies told me to update the NCAS and tell them to recalc/reverify my GPA so they can see it on the school side. She didn't make any promises, but said she did see it on my transcripts that I had already taken the course. I am supposed to call the school back once reverified by NCAS, and we'll go from there as to what will happen. I'll be on pins and needles until I get the email confirming YAY or NAY:eek:. I'll post once I get some news. I really hope I get the YAY email. We'll see what God has planned....I'm hopeful still :rolleyes: !

Congrats everyone! I got my TEAS invite today too. Does anyone know if we are allowed to take it more than once?

WBAN · Jul 22, 2011

I just checked my email again -- just in case -- and MY EMAIL INVITE WAS THERE!!! Yay :clown: !! I didn't think my problem would be resolved that fast, but WHEW, I'm glad I got the invite. Now to sign up for the test.......

It's going to be hard finishing up my summer class with this on my mind -- Focus, Focus, Focus!! Good luck to everyone studying for and taking the TEAS V! :up:

Congrats WBAN! That's great news... how amazing that they cleared it up so fast?? :coollook:

I got my email today as well, I'm so excited!! @blitt22 you can only take the test once now... If you'd taken it before they sent out invites you could take it as many times as you want. The admissions counselor talked about this at the open house I went to last month. Congrats everyone and good luck!!!

WBAN · Jul 22, 2011

Thanks, heavykevy. Apparently the SoN office can see the updates on the coursework very quickly, so that was enough for them since they also had my transcripts and confirmed the class taken and grade I added.

The awesome lady I spoke with told me once the TEAS deadline passed, they would send the supplemental application (with instructions and deadlines) and that all contact going forward is straight with their office and not NursingCAS. I forgot to ask how long after the TEAS is the next contact made, but I've seen notes on this site that it's about 1-2 weeks.

BTW, I live here in SA. I'm jumping the gun, but I would be interested in being a part of a study group once school starts, in case anyone else has the same thoughts. I just think hearing someone else's perspective/explanation helps me, as well as when i explain something to others I really have to think through the concepts and thereby learn it better. Again, I'm being optimistic about the future. Yay, I'm happy!!!
