What are your chances of getting into nursing
school?
During the academic year of 2014-2015, 265,954 applications for entry-level
baccalaureate nursing programs were submitted. 63% of applications—170,109
—met admissions criteria. However, of that number, 50,000 applications were
rejected, with only 119,428 applications resulting in acceptance into a
program.
For anyone submitting an application in 2014-2015, the chance of success was
less than 50%. For applicants who met the admissions criteria and successfully
submitted their application, the chance of acceptance was 70%.
The reasons for this high number of unsuccessful applications are mainly twofold. First, there weren't enough spaces, or funding, available for so many
applicants, and second, despite meeting admission criteria, many applicants
were beaten by others with better scores.
The good news is that the nursing sector is growing at a rate of 16%, which is
quite fast, meaning that nearly half a million new jobs will exist by 2024. The
other good news is that you can do a lot of preparation to boost your scores and
increase your chances of being accepted into your preferred program.
How do I beat the competition?
Based on the data above, it it safe to assume that from the outset, your
application has a 50% chance of being successful. To increase your
chances, prepare for the challenges you need to overcome. One of
the challenges you have more control over is the TEAS test.
If ATI Testing’s TEAS test is part of your application, the following ten steps
can help you better prepare and increase your chances of not only getting the
grades required, but exceeding them. Beat the competition, boost your
confidence, and ace the TEAS.

TEN STEPS TO PASS THE TEAS
1. Familiarize yourself with formalities.
Where can you take the test?
When must you register?
Can you retake the test if you don’t get a good result?
How much time do you need between retakes?
Find out this information and plan accordingly. Check out our website to get
started: www.testprep-online.com/teas-test.aspx
2. Take a practice test.
Just how good are you at the TEAS? Use one of our ATI TEAS practice tests in
Timed Mode to see how much you know. Taking a full-length TEAS test can
help you establish what you need to focus on as well as benchmark your
starting score.
We advise that you take the test unprepared. Attempt all the questions. Make
a note of your score, particularly what percentage of questions you got right for
each section.
3. Create a study plan.
Start by dividing up the different topics. You can use our TEAS subject
webpages for topic guidance. Break the topics down as small as possible. Plan
20-minute to one-hour study sessions for yourself. Remember:
Tailor your study plan to the time you have before test day. Make sure you
aren’t learning things up to the last minute. Give yourself a few weeks to
review the material.
How much time do you need to learn the material? Be realistic; remember
DNA wasn’t discovered in a day.
How much time do you need to test your knowledge? Learning the material
is only half the battle.
How well do you perform on tests? Do you feel like you do well on tests, or
are your palms sweaty at the thought of test day? Be sure to take extra timed
practice tests to calm your nerves and to teach yourself to perform better
under stressful circumstances. [Show Less]
