My Experience Taking the TEAS Exam for NURSING SCHOOL
มุมมอง 1.7K6 ปีที่แล้ว
This is just my personal experience taking the TEAS Exam, so keep in mind your experience could be totally different! Since I was accepted unconditionally to my nursing program from my HESI exam score, my admission wasn't dependent on the TEAS so I did not study for it. Enjoy

    I got a rejection from CC ultrasound program before, with GPA 4.0 pre-req. Like, I was like ok i had nothing else to offer, wasted 3 years pre-req study. I didn't know what to do. Nursing is the same, sometimes you have no choice. If you can afford (mentally, financially) a private school, why not? Go for it!

    The homeless in many states probably from Florida + other nursing schools/highway robbery. Please no one attend ICHS international college of health sciences in Boynton Beach (acen accredited). 90% student body are from California and unaware of battles & scheming that awaits. Spread The Word. 100s don't pass exit exam each semester and held there much longer than anticipated. "Contracts" change every semester. With that $$ you can move to any state's community college!! Where goes the money ICHS?? Barely a campus. Little clinical site availability. Students pay proctor most exam. On campus testing is another nightmare. Exams questions completely random and each is at least 30-45% grade. Staff are 'fired' and rehired rotating positions constantly. Staff death from overdoses and fired for sexual favor 'rumors'. Even 'rumor' of students suicides. (I guess death happens in hospitals too, it's just preparation) Unable to reach staff by phone, email, or in-person and so many LIES. Family&friend-run business racket. Somehow does DeSantis benefit?!

    I agree 100% in regards to the time. The cost of losing time with your kids isn’t worth it! I took all my prerequisites at a cc college and then bombed on the Teas😭 so we decided we’re going to bite the bullet and go to WCU. I done being in school, I want to have a fulfilling career and be very present with my kids. I’ll start WCU in Jan 2022. How much do you end up paying total after fasfa? Did it help to have kids in lowering to overall tuition?

    I think you grossly misrepresented the amount you could pay back. I don’t know what your husband do for work so I can’t say what you all can do. You didn’t take taxes out. You also didn’t state you would be working directly to pay your loans back for nearly 5 years.

Makes me wanna cry how I'm so dumb and scared I am! My life is passing me by and I'm afraid I won't pass the entrance exam because I took it back in 2012 and failed. But something in me tells me to apply but again scared of debt

    • @KindredGh0st
      @KindredGh0st 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      A few things. Med isn't bad at all. If you can do basic algebra, you're good. Practice, practice, practice. Not that you asked me, but here some unsolicited advice. Do not take your general education courses at west coast. Spend the time doing those at your local community college. I feel the quality of education and degree of difficulty is greater and is a good indicator of how successful you'll be at wcu. Irs better to learn at the community college level of your not cut out for it for whatever reason there than at WCU. If you REALLY want to know how you'll do, take an 8 week anatomy class during summer. It's pretty much the same calendar format as west coast. WCU is a MASSIVE commitment. If you transfer all your GE's in you'll have loans for very close to 100k by the time you finish. Tread very carefully. It kills me when I think about some of the friends that I've made didn't make it because sometimes, life just happens.

    • @monicaschon6647
      @monicaschon6647 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      The math is not tough at all it’s basic algebra. They have med math workshops you can attend and it helps tremendously! Keep in mind you must get at least 90% or higher on the med math exam each term in order to pass the course. As the person above me said, WCU is a HUGE commitment and no time to mess around. As any nursing school, you have to study and work hard for your grade. I understand how you’re feeling because prior to starting nursing school, I too was super scared of failing and debts and I had so many questions. If you need any help or info about the school and admission process you can ask me(: Im not going to lie and say it’s easy because it’s not! Then again no nursing school program is easy. It’s a tough program because it’s accelerated HOWEVER it is completely DOABLE!(: I’m not the brightest kid in the block and I’m doing extremely well. If I can do it, trust me so can you!
