A year ago I decided to go and take some math and science courses so that I could take the TEAS test to get into the LPN program here in St. Louis, MO. I took the entrance exam yesterday and I got my test results back today. I passed on the english, math, and reading. However I missed the science by 2 questions. I called the school and asked if I could be admitted into the program since I only missed by 2 questions and I was told flat out " no sorry". That really took alot out of me because I really tried.

Maybe you can take the test again. You can't let this stuff disappoint you. I couldn't get into one nursing program at one school cause my IQ test wasn't high enough...................I was a grouch for a while but I just went to another school, took another entrance test and made it in! I graduate next year! Keep your spirits up!! If this is what you truly want to do, you can't let nothing stand in you way. GOOD LUCK. Keep us all posted.

P.S. I'm great in science..........my downfall was always math. LOL

If @ first you don't suceed,TRY TRY AGAIN!!!

I met with the admissions staff at the St. Louis College of Health Careers and it looks promising. I have to take their entrance exam which doesn't look difficult. I bought the study guide and I am studying it. I  sent off for my transcript to be sent to the college and I have sent off for the back ground check. I have to get three reference letters which is not a problem. I have to do a two page essay in my own handwriting any topic I chose. I chose for a topic: being an lpn and why it matters to me. I am at one and a half pages of the two pages done on that. Then I have to have a personal interview with the practical nursing program representative. I believe that I can accomplish the tasks set before me. The September class is full and the next class starts in January of 09.

That is great.  Good luck to you.

Best wishes to you!

Congrats! With prayer and determination...ALL is possible!

Best of luck with your studies...
