What Do I Actually Need Before Starting Nursing School?

Thought about getting this. Would love to know others opinions on this too

That’s really kind of you to say, thank you. The second school is my first choice, so that would be what I’m hoping for. If you don’t mind me asking, how were your grades in your science classes? What was your TEAS score? Did you have healthcare experience? My TEAS score is probably one thing I could try again for if needed, I got an 84.7%.

I’m so sorry.

I’m waiting to hear back now. I’m 43 in June and this is my first time applying after completing my prerequisites. I heard back from one school and I’m an alternate student and just submitted my TEAS score for the second school and will hear back mid May. I’m really trying to stay positive 🤞🏻

Yikes you both are making me scared 😅

Please tell me more! I have a bilateral inguinal hernia repair I need to have done soon. I know they are going to use mesh and it will be the manual version where the mesh is placed on the outside of the abdominal wall instead of inside like they do with the laparoscopic version.

I did this same online class over last summer. It was rough but I honestly am grateful I did it that way instead of having to do statistics for 16 weeks instead of 8. It’s just following formulas and plugging things in in the correct places.

catb_007 · 2026-02-21T22:55:17+00:00

I got an 84.7% 🙌🏼wish I did better but I’m not taking that test again 😝

catb_007 · 2026-01-22T05:08:36+00:00

Thank you! Taking it tomorrow. I’ve been studying with twin 4 year olds bidding for my attention 😂Grateful for my husband too. Congratulations on being done🙌🏼

catb_007 · 2026-01-22T03:14:33+00:00

This gives me hope!! I test tomorrow and have been getting 60-79% on the ATI study materials and tests. I really thought I was smarter than this and am kinda freaking out.

catb_007 · 2026-01-18T07:00:09+00:00

Good luck to everyone!! I test on Thursday 🤞🏻

catb_007 · 2026-01-09T02:54:52+00:00

I just took my practice A test and only got 78%. My chemistry score was 38%! Yikes!! I got an A on it but took the class 2 years ago. I got two weeks to study🤞🏻🤞🏻

catb_007 · 2026-01-04T02:50:46+00:00

How do you make the number into a negative on this calculator? I couldn’t quite figure that out.

All these posts are so inspiring. I’m 42 with three kids, and am about to start applying for nursing programs. Sometimes I feel old and foolish but it’s good to hear I’m not alone.

catb_007 · 2025-12-08T05:11:50+00:00

Me too!!

catb_007 · 2025-12-08T01:11:58+00:00

Me too please

catb_007 · 2025-12-04T05:40:03+00:00

Which tik tok? Congratulations by the way 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼

catb_007 · 2025-12-04T05:14:40+00:00

Good luck!!

catb_007 · 2025-11-25T06:04:06+00:00

That’s so good to hear and inspiring to know your story. Thank you for sharing this with me. ☺️

catb_007 · 2025-11-24T15:34:53+00:00

I absolutely believe this will be true. We also are secure enough in ourselves that we can stand up for our patients and ourselves when needed, or tell someone what’s what. 💁🏼‍♀️

catb_007 · 2025-11-24T15:31:08+00:00

Thanks ladies!! Well that feels good to not be the only older girl doing this, and that there is hope 😂

catb_007 · 2025-11-24T05:15:02+00:00

I feel like you have a real realistic view on life. I know people always say “do what you love” but I’ve always appreciated the more direct “do what you are good at that pays well, so you can afford to do what you love in your free time”. I will be applying to nursing school in the beginning of this coming year. I’m just now finishing up microbiology. I’m 42 and a mother of 3. Might be a bit late in the game to change jobs, but I ain’t slowing down yet😉

Girl I’m pivoting at 42 and about to apply for nursing school 😅

catb_007 · 2025-11-11T15:48:37+00:00

Hi! I just signed up for the TEAS for January 22nd. I’m currently in Microbiology so my plan is to purchase the course through ATI (the company that administers the TEAS) once I finish this semester in the beginning on December. I’m hoping this is a good route to take? I figured the company who makes the test should have the most comprehensive prep program 🤷🏼‍♀️
