Math-100%

Reading- 83%

Science- 80.9%

Best wishes to everyone!

WOW those are really good grades! Do you think re-taking classes affect getting in?

Depends on your GPA and grades I'm assuming. I had a C in Hist 1301 and a couple of Bs

What are all your scores and grades?

Has anyone realized that this school does not have the ACEN accreditation???....... correct me if I'm wrong I really hope I'm wrong because If so I'll be declining my offer.

So once you redo those Fs you should be good. How are your TEAS scores?

Of course! So TEAS compared to HESI was a bit more difficult because it if more detailed in the AP, Bio, and chem section. English was more detailed too, with specifics that I dont ever remember learning. Get a good TEAS book, I liked mometrix. Just study weeks before that way you are not pressured and miss stuff. Take your time and study and then try the test.

Oh wow, but are they regionally accredited? Does it matter? I guess I'm not really sure how accreditation works. I briefly looked into it. P.s I know you are replying to Jessica, but I am curious too!

So I just contacted ACEN today and they do not appear on the list. From what I understand jobs and the NCLEX or whatever have preference for people that attended an ACEN program and to apply to a BSN program I think your ADN program must be accredited.

Yes that is correct. Does it show them denied? They just applied so I guess it doesn't show because it wont be until a few months. BON does approve them to take the NCLEX. It shows it in the pass rates for the last 5 years. Unless, I am not understanding all this.
