The TEAS is an exam that nursing students take when applying for nursing school. It tests what a nursing student’s academic potential may be in nursing school.

There are 170 questions on the exam including reading, math, science, and English and language usage. Students have 209 minutes to complete the exam.

Fans Congratulate

Fans jumped at the chance to congratulate Jones on passing the exam. On Twitter, many supporters shared stories about their own nursing journeys and questions about the future.
