Applications, TEAS & HESI
Jell'o Everyone!!!
Ok so I have been busy getting settled with nursing school (YAYY) but I am back and getting into my new schedule. Here's to the first steps towards nursing school!
It all starts with YOU. What schools are you interested in? You should have a list of at least 4 or 5. Look into what they require for admission. What gpa do they require you have? What prerequisites? What exams do they require? HESI or TEAS? Do they require recommendation letters? Resumes? Look into any open house events those schools may have. Attend every open house possible. Make sure you get to meet the staff. Introduce yourself and make sure they get to place your name with a face. After the events, email them and reintroduce yourself. You want the staff to recognize your name.
Applications!! Well I'll start off by saying CONGRATS!! Not everyone makes it to the application process. The application process can be stressful but you will get through it. It can also get expensive. :( For each application you submit there's an application fee. You must pay for each transcript. Registering for TEAS and HESI can also be pricy. Don't get discouraged because it will pay off. Once you narrow down the schools you want to apply to, just apply! Don't wait to apply right before the deadline to submit your applications. Shortly after you'll have to submit transcripts. Make sure that you have those ready to go. Get as many recommendation letters ready to go as well.
HESI & TEAS. Those were not fun but very necessary. Study Study Study! Some schools require you submit your scores by a certain deadline and others schedule the exam for you. Make sure you are ready to pass these exams. Below I'll attach pictures of the books I used. These exams are very specific. In my opinion, the questions weren't general questions. They were very specific, at least for the science portion. Keep that in mind. Study all the subjects and contents of these books. They will help review all the different subjects but wont replace the classes you've taken. Remember that the prerequisites are what help you prepare for these exams and not cramming from a HESI or TEAS book.
That's all I can think of. Hope that helped. Congrats for those reading that may be thinking of applying soon.
