i want to be a nurse, but..

[madisonlong17, RN]

I want to be a nurse and I aspire to be a nurse. Health and biology/anatomy come so easily to me (for the most part). I am taking the TEAS 6 next week and i am freaking out! I feel as if I am not smart enough to pass them and get into nursing school. I haven't had anatomy and physiology for about a year and even then the teacher never really taught us anything.

I got the TEAS practice forms and scored 72% on form A and I need a 65% for the nursing school I want to go to. However, I am still mentally freaking out because I got a 56% on the science section

Long story short;

1: how are the teas 6 exams?

2: does anyone else feel too 'dumb' for nursing school?

3: and does anyone have tips or tricks for the teas or even nursing school all together???

After reading your post it seems as if you do contradict yourself in some parts. You said that science comes easy, for the most part, to you. Then you go on saying your teacher did not teach you much. Moreover, you stated you scored 56% on science section.

As to your question about feeling dumb and not good enough to be doing well in nursing school... I am sure many students hoping to apply to nursing schools feel "dumb" at one point or another. However, I would not worry about feeling "dumb". Worry about the fact you scored 56% on your science portion of the test.
