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!

We'll all be great friends in 2 years. :)

Hello all! Congrats to those of you who made it in to the program!!! I am starting the 2nd semester in August. I love it so far. It's tough but I miss it right now being on summer break. I know the curriculum is completely changing so I'm not sure how much help I can be... but if you have any questions feel free to ask. I know they are horrible about giving out info and answering questions. I'm sure you still have the same professors we did. They are awesome! Especially Prof Zebrook! You will love her. Congrats again!! [emoji173]️

Hi Ciara 😊,

Where are your clinicals at? How long are they? What do they allow you to do or not do at clinicals? What's the hardest part of nursing school you've had to deal with this far? Sorry for all the questions, just curious lol

Hey! No problem. Last semester I was at Health Park Care Center & Gulf Coast Hospital on the Orthopedics floor. We were there from 6:30-2:30. The coolest stuff I got to do was give PO meds, IM injections, & SubQ injections. I also packed a really bad wound which was awesome. The hardest part is always having like 3-4 test a week. It was hard to adjust to that much stress every week. We started to say that pretty much every week in nursing school is like finals week is for other majors [emoji23] but it's absolutely manageable!

I had a 4.0 last semester [emoji5]️ my goal is to keep that but it's gonna be super challenging as I continue on in the program. I've heard this next semester is really hard.

why so many tests a week. Is it a lot of reading?

We go over a lot in each lecture. There is just endless material. In health assessment we had quizzes every single class since it was once a week.
