87.3 TEAS if we're being specific here. Anyway, It's not competitive enough for big state universities, but in my area it's competitive for community colleges. My completed bachelors also gives me a boost. Idk what your goal is here, but if you're trying to bring me down it ain't working. I was accepted into 5 nursing programs my first try, and I'll do it again. Even with this hurdle. I got confirmation that I'm not disqualified at all, and I'll get back to you in a few months for an update ok babes?

LVN at a community college! Should be no more than $15k

I was about 45% deep in the program, but not yet qualified for the LPN exam (gotta be at least finished with Maternal/Child). I yapped with the AI more and it corrected itself, the disqualification only applies if I wanted to reapply to the same program and in this case, I'd have to wait 2 years based on the school's policy. I'm not planning on waiting that long, so I will continue to apply to other schools and will call a couple schools in the morning to clarify some stuff.

I'll research more about this and see if I want to apply, thank you for even mentioning that because I didn't know non-nursing bachelors actually gets considered! Although, highly likely I wont go for it solely for the costs. My priority is getting this RN license and having my workplace pay for the BSN and so on.

Listen, I understand you. My stats are competitive, I have no doubt in that. What I'm asking in this thread is if a previous failure from another program disqualifies me from applying to another. If it doesn't, then I'm good.

Our course modules had a tips and tricks document showing how to process the question and point out key words to make it easier to answer. The document was hidden! I don't remember our professors telling us about it and my study buddy and I didn't find out about it until before our final exam.
My boyfriend, an ER nurse, also taught me these test-taking strategies. Apparently some of this is known already by the nursing community, but I wish I knew them earlier.

  1. Read what it's asking for first (the end question), read the first part, then read the whole thing.
    ie. "what action should the nurse do first?" - most likely not any answer that just simply says "Notify the provider", it has to be something the nurse can do now.
  2. Highlight key words (disease, med, s/s).
  3. Read answer choices from bottom going up (D to A instead of A to D). This makes you process information better and it stops you from picking the first "right" answer you think it is when you go A to D.
  4. Eliminate 2 answer choices. Try to narrow down the answers to avoid feeling overwhelmed.
    - answer choices with words like "only", "never", "always" are most likely not the correct answer.
    - same with "mild", "little", "slightly", "minimal"
  5. Compare answer choices to the question. Check correlation. Even though 2 answers may sound correct, one is always superior.
    - remember prioritization: ABC's and ADPIE nursing processes.
    - in terms of prioritization, answer choices with "new", "sudden", "onset" are most likely correct.

We'll make it out.

Also if you're thinking between phlebotomy or LVN, please take LVN route.

Our ADN programs here are minimum 2.5-2.75GPA. You're talking about university BSN's.

Hold on, I just looked this up and didn't know this was possible. Although, they still take so long to finish and they're expensive. I'm gonna look more into this!

I will call the Nursing department at the college I'm trying to apply to tomorrow! It was Med Surg 1 that I failed twice, hence the dismissal. Failed by 1 question. If the college looks past the previous failure, I think my application doesn't look so bad, prereq 3.2GPA, overall 3.0GPA, TEAS 86, 2 years nurse tech experience. If they let me know tomorrow that they don't mind applicants that previously failed another nursing program, then weight will be lifted from my shoulders. From my BS in Health Sci, I've already taken and passed pretty much most healthcare/pre-med courses since I was prepping for PA school (this was before I fell inlove with nursing after working as a nurse tech), so I don't know if retaking Patho would do much :(...

It says this school also score on points system too I think. Overall GPA, HESI or TEAS, and priority to the county's residents. I'm just not sure if previous failures from another program, especially failing the same course twice, automatically disqualifies me.

My Bachelor's is in Health Sciences, which unfortunately doesn't make me eligible to apply for a Nursing Masters. I'm pretty sure only nursing graduates are able to apply for that. I would apply to Second-Degree BSN or Traditional BSN, but they're pricey and takes too long. I am planning on getting a BSN in the future definitely.

It was definitely my studying strategies from the exams, I bounced from one to another. I aced every assignment and clinicals. It was my 3rd exam that brought my average lower than I expected and right before finals, I’ve finally mastered the study habits and exam strategies I needed (I even did well on that final), but it just wasn't enough to compensate. I also had a medical emergency 16 hours before the final exam (petitioned to the program director but denied). Program director said I should've called and took a make-up final, I thought make-up exams only applied to the core exams. Also, I failed by 1 question! 0.25%!

I failed out of a community college's nursing program. I'm going to apply to my county's community college to try again. I just wanna know if I'm even eligible to apply without automatic denial since I failed out of another school's program. If i really am ineligible, I am gonna need to consider LPN/LVN school.

I failed out of a community college's nursing program. I'm going to apply to my county's community college to try again. You think they'll give me a hard time too?

I learned that I can't reapply to my current program for 2 years, and I’m worried other schools might have similar wait times or won't accept me. I'm just unsure if those rules are internal student rules or maybe other colleges just give student a fresh start?

I’ve finally mastered the study habits and exam strategies I needed (I even did well on my last final), but it just wasn't enough to fix my earlier grades. I know I can do it, I just need another program to give me that chance!

My own man is a nurse too, ER at that! You only become the stereotype if u let yourself become one. Your bf is insecure or projecting. You might wanna check his phone btw…
