The Test of Essential Academic Skills (TEAS Test) is a standardized, multiple choice exam for students entering into nursing school in the USA. It is often used to determine the ability of potential students to adjust to a nursing program. The test is created and administered by Assessment Technologies Institute.

“I wanted to do something that was interesting, meaningful, and feed my soul. Nursing has done all of that and more for me. I had several obstacles when I started the Practical Nursing Program at Lanier Technical College due to language barriers. I took ESL (English as a Second Language) classes to help overcome my language barrier. If I made, it you can too!” said Choi. 10/24/2020
