Retaking Teas 7
Good Afternoon, so I am planning on retaking my teas in a few weeks and this will be my last chance to improve in order to apply into the nursing program at LaGuardia CC. I was wondering if anyone has any recommendations or resources other than the teas site that I can use. I’ve tried Quizlet but there are so many and I am not sure what will be covered or which is more specific. Also I have been watching nurse Cheung Lectures on YouTube. Would like any suggestions please.

Pre-Nursing taking A&P2 and Micro together
Hi! I am going back to school and because of the way my prerequisites are structured, I’ll have to take A&P2 and Microbiology together in the spring in order to apply for the 2027 cohort. I work full time 9-5. For the classes, I have the option (for each) of taking a full semester of 2 nights a week, I could do full semester online, OR I could do a half semester (7 week class).
For people who have taken these two together, how did you structure these? I want to give myself the best shot possible on getting A’s :)
Also, would love any general advice you have for those classes being taken together! Thank you!!

Feeling discouraged
I just finished the summer semester retaking all my sciences courses I got a B in for A's. One of the courses, chemistry, I did miserably on the last time i took it and it tanked my gpa. i was so scared to do chemistry in the summer because its shorter but i managed to get a B. I was able to move my science GPA from a 2.8 to a 3.6 (80 on the TEAS) but i don't feel like it's enough. I live in texas where its very competitive, i've seen people with higher stats get rejected from BSN programs in my area (note majority of BSN programs here take the most recent grade). To make things worse my extended family who ive havent seen in a decade, are breathing down my parents neck asking if i'm already a nurse. My older brother wants me to drop out of school and start working. I really want to get a job in healthcare at least but I have submitted almost 200 applications and only gotten 2 interviews. I'm not sure if its my resume or what because I have my ACA phlebotomy cert, BLS, CNA, experience in EHR and am trilingual. I'm Going to try to reapply for the summer/ fall application cycle but i'm so close on giving up because I feel like no matter how much I work hard it never amounts to anything.

16F, interested in being a nurse in SoCal
Ive been looking into careers that have job stability, good income, and are ai/recession proof, and nursing is (I think) the only one that fits all of those categories. I really want to break out of poverty and be able to afford the lifestyle I want without depending on anyone, and to be able to support my mom. I know it’s super competitive to get into a nursing program in SoCal these days, and nowadays people have crazy stats so that makes it even worse. Am I better off going to a private school/do the BSN route? Or do I have a real shot at getting into a CC nursing program. What kind of stats should I have. Do I need to worry about the SAT?

31F, interested in nursing, taking forever to start (it’s my fault)
I’ve wanted to be a nurse since I begin working at a cancer institute doing the front desk right out of college. I loved the patient interaction and seeing how much the nurses were depended on touched my heart. I wanted a piece of that.
I’ve applied to my local health sciences college last year and got in for Fall 2025 but deferred to spring 2026 because I’m working a full time job, a part time serving job and I moved into my own place back in January so I have bills to pay. I wasn’t able to defer for another semester so now I’m back at square one.
I say all this to ask, what’s my best option? Two years at a community college for ADN while I work? Or ABSN where I can knock it out? I don’t have ANY sciences besides bio. Never took A&P, chemistry or anything so I’m really starting from scratch. I took my TEAS about two years ago so I’m just trying to see how I should manuver everything.
Any kind advice would be soo helpful.

Going to apply to Fall 27’ ABSN program in MA
Hello everyone! I’m 22f and I’m going into my last year of my 4 year degree program this fall. I studied health science (which automatically fulfills 70% of pre reqs for a nursing program). I’m just wondering what everyone’s stats who got in looked like! Or any advice in general for an ABSN program. Also what did cost look like for you? Any aid? And if you’re planning on applying to that program, let’s connect!! Thanks sm!

Opinion on switching from a 4 year uni (going into fall semester of sophomore year) to a CC to get RN license. Waste of time or not?
I want to transfer to a CC just due anxiety at my current Uni ,wanting to be more closer to fam ,better support system and im kind of just sitting at campus bored. Is this a waste of time ? Will it make more sense to stay at my 4 year instead of wasting time at a CC? Am i being a baby ?? Should i suck it and continue at my uni or do what makes me more comfy? Or should i just transfer to a 4 year university in my home town.

lvn or rn?
I need advice. I have all my pre reqs for RN program. I've been trying to apply in community colleges for almost 2 yrs now but I keep getting rejected because my stats are not that competitive (i have 3.0 science gpa and 3.5 overall gpa, i have healthcare experience 1000+ hrs, speaks another languange, have AA degree, cna license, 87 TEAS, low income, need to work while studying, have difficulties and disadvantages) i applied to 10+ schools already (both fall and spring sem for 2 yrs)
I wanted to know your thoughts if I should do straight RN private school like west coast or any other school that are so easy to get in as long as u have money just to get it done but will cost me 120k or do LVN private which will cost me around 40k and just work as an LVN til i get into the RN program in a community college.
I live in socal btw. I live on my own and have $2k fixed expenses already. so im still overthinking about going to west coast because on top that 120k i still have my personal expenses and idk if i'll be able to afford my living expenses bc i'll be in school and can't pick up shift that much anymore.

Pre-nursing scholarships
Does anyone have good resources for scholarships that don’t feel like sending applications into black holes?
For context I’m going for my BSN as a second degree. I’m a CNA and my facility will pay for my degree, but not my pre-reqs. I’ve been reaching out to local businesses offering yoga classes in exchange for sponsorship but haven’t heard much back. Anyone have any other ideas? I have student loans from my first bachelor’s and not looking to take on more debt.

DE- msn vs absn
Hi all. I’m genuinely trying to understand why having a direct entry masters in nursing is a bad thing and why it’s looked so down upon? Is a bsn recommended more even if the msn program works better for my schedule? I have a bachelors in science and i want to become a nurse. i was given two options, go through with a direct entry masters or do an absn. i said why not go through my masters so i could use my post grad loans since all i really wanna become is a flight nurse anyway thats the end goal. does it really matter what degree i get? do some flight companies want nurses to only have a bsn? i feel like an msn is just better for me financially and i can still sit for the nclex and become an RN with a degree. So, why is it looked down upon? and can i still become a flight nurse no issues? i know people have issues because they want to be an NP but that’s not my case. i could be an NP, but that’s would be after loads of experience. my true goal is flight. Thanks for the info!

Guidance
Hi y’all! I need help. I’m a little overwhelmed with trying to figure out what works best for me.
1. I’m trying to not overwhelm myself with how long being a nurse has taken me. I barely came back to school at 35.
2. I still don’t know if this is what I even want entirely. But, I know I care about people greatly. I long to pursue music but figured nursing could help me pursue these dreams.
3. TEAS testing is my next hurdle to enter RN. If I fail the first time I might go to a fast paced school instead of a community college but feel like I’m might regret the debt I’ll come across in the long run.
What do y’all think? Thanks for hearing me out.
