FSW Fall 2016 Nursing Applicants

Published

Hello everyone,

I wanted to create a thread for those of us that are planning on applying to the nursing program for fall 2016. We can post about studying for the HESI/TEASE. FSW has changed from the HESI beginning Febuary 2016, so those of you that haven't already taken it you must take the HESI before Febuary 1st. If not you will need to plan on studying for the TEASE. Application deadline is May 15th. We can post about our points, most of you know what that consist of. Students are admitted off from a point system, the higher the points the better chance you have of being selected for the program. Our points is based off how many prerequisites we have taken upon application, our gpa for those prerequisites we have taken. And finally our HESI or TEASE score. For those of you that haven't taken the HESI or TEASE we can plan a study group either online or in person. I'm a in my final class required to apply (AP I), in another school. I will have 7 courses completed upon application so that gives me 29 points for that. I have not taken the HESI yet so I don't know my points for that yet. I haven't been able to figure out my final gpa yet because I'm in this last course. But I hope to get to know some of you and I hope one day we will even be in class together!

I wonder if the TEAS will be weighted more in terms of points compared to the HESI if you use it because it's a harder test

Good question I wondered the same thing!

Here's the information I recieved when I inquired about the HESI/TEAS weighted scores. I will have to say I don't agree with it. I think the TEAS is way harder than the HESI. You even got to use a calculator on the HESI. In the 70's on the teas is like being in the 90's on the HESI.

"Please refer to the tally sheet for TEAS and HESI located on the fsw website:

AS Nursing | Academics | Florida SouthWestern State College.

where you will see the actual table showing the HESI-TEAS equivalent points.

The highest possible admission point for both HESI and TEAS is 40 (test score of 90.1 and up).

The lowest score is 3 for HESI (if your test score is 74)

and 3 for TEAS (if you score 64-66 on the test)."
