TEAS Disaster
I was scheduled to take my TEAS Exam in San Antonio, Texas at 8 am on 8.29.17; the deadline for the application/TEAS score submission for my LVN >> RN Bridge Program was on 8.31.17.
I live in a fairly small city a little over an hour away from San Antonio, and exactly one hour and thirteen minutes away from the testing facility. I left my house at 6 am that morning, and because there was a major accident on Vance Jackson, I was THREE minutes late for my test. When I got to the door of room where the TEAS was being administered, the proctor greeted me. I explained my situation and she proceeded to tell me, "It's not anyone else's fault but your own that you're too much of a cheap ass to have gotten a hotel here in San Antonio to be sure that you made it here on time.", and proceeded to slam the door in my face.
I was devastated. I thought I was surely going to have to wait another year to even be able to apply to the LVN >> RN Bridge Program.
LUCKILY, the director over my community college called the top of the chain of the branch of the sister facility (college) where that test was being administered and lit a fire under them for such behavior. She also called ATI and convinced them to transfer my funds to retest free of additional cost.
Today is 9.1.17; the deadline was extended by one day for me, and I'm retesting this morning. Send prayers, good juju/vibes my way, y'all!
