What TEAS score do I need for nursing school in Louisiana?
It depends on the program; ATI sets no passing score. 5 of the 6 Louisiana programs in this dataset publish a total minimum from 55% to 68% (median 65%). A program’s minimum is the lowest score it accepts, not the score that makes an application competitive.
Do Louisiana nursing programs set TEAS section minimums?
None of the Louisiana programs in this dataset publishes a separate section minimum. Some may still use section scores when they rank applicants, so read each program’s page.
Is a 70 on the TEAS enough for Louisiana nursing programs?
A 70% total meets 5 of 5 published total minimums in Louisiana in this dataset. Meeting a minimum makes you eligible to apply; it does not predict admission, and section minimums or ranking may still apply. Treat any practice score as an estimate.
Can I take the TEAS remotely for Louisiana programs?
Not everywhere. 3 programs here require an in-person TEAS, at Baton Rouge Community College and SOWELA Technical Community College. Ask each program which format it accepts before you register.
How many TEAS attempts do Louisiana nursing programs allow?
One program here publishes an attempt limit, Louisiana Tech University: No more than two attempts per calendar year, at least 30 days apart. Test online through ATI or in person at a PSI center. ATI itself requires no waiting period between attempts; the program’s rule is the one that counts.
Do any Louisiana nursing programs not require the TEAS?
Baton Rouge Community College (Technical Diploma in Practical Nursing) accepts another exam in place of the TEAS.
