Hello all, 2nd semester ANEW student here. I just wanted to give you all a little insight into what the ANEW program is like. As it's been mentioned, all of our lecture is online and we are required to be on campus one night out of the week from 5:30p-8:30p. Sim lab is the first few Saturdays of the semester and then either Sat or Sun clinical (your choice). You must be self motivated and on top of your due dates or you will not make it. The class is a mixture of young and old, experienced and inexperienced, people with kids, full time jobs etc... If you are a self motivated learner then you will do great, if not, then I recommend the Traditional program. The issue with the scheduling and the separate campuses simply comes down to having the professors to teach the courses. It is much easier to have the professors collaborate at the same campus with all of us meeting at one time than to have several professors at different campuses for only a few students. I'm sure they will face the same issue with the spring ANEW program so just be prepared. If you are iffy about your points then give the TEAS your all, it will make up for what you lack in GPA.

It will probably open up late like the summer application. They will extend the deadline. The department is flustered at the moment with the new program starting next month.

Congrats! You'll get in! They just accepted 24 for the summer program so you should see more comments for Fall soon!

Hey everyone! I created an "FSW 2017 ANEW Nursing Program" group on Facebook. Feel free to add the group so we can communicate etc.

Hey there! I'm pretty sure white nonskid shoes of any kind are appropriate just no colors whatsoever. As far as the stethoscope, a Littman should suffice. We just auscultate lung sounds, heart sounds, and bowel sounds so you will have plenty of time to upgrade in the future depending on your discipline (cardiology, PEDs etc..)

Yep! ID and the confirmation. If you have it on your phone they can do your fingerprints with that also. (Did mine this morning). For Lab Corp (Drug Test) I think you need the actual printout.

Yes! I called for clarification, I guess there was not enough interest from the other campuses so LEE was the top choice! I'm so excited!

Congrats everyone! I got my email today as well. I applied for Lee but Charlotte was my 2nd choice and my email came from the instructional assistant at the Charlotte campus... so I'm not completely sure which campus I'm accepted into but I'm happy none the less

The Teas was doable...I studied for 2 months using the ATI manual and the Mometrix manual. If you study well and focus on one question at a time then you will be successful. I think if you look at the entire test as a whole then it becomes overwhelming.

Thanks for reading the post and sorry that you have to wait an entire year to retest. After reading all the terrible reviews about the ATI manual I had to write this article because the Mometrix book alone is overwhelming and it is not enough to truly prepare you for the Teas and the types of questions you will see. Since you have taken the test you will be more than ready to ace it next time!

Today, I took the TEAS 6 for the first time. I scored 86.0% overall and ranked in the 96 percentile "Advanced". Reading: 87.2% Math: 93.8% Science: 72.3% English and Language: 100% Practice A: 87.3% (2nd) 77.3% (1st) Practice B: 85.3% (2nd) 73.3% (1st) OK, Let me start by saying, this exam is absolutely doable; however, you have to force yourself to focus on one thing at a time. Clear your mind, take the exam one question at a time and before you know it, you will have arrived at the last question of the last section of the exam. STUDY TOOLS I used the official ATI manual (revised version), and the Mometrix manual. DO NOT let people talk you out of the ATI manual, you at least need it for the basic information regarding the test. The Mometrix manual alone can be overwhelming so I highly recommend reading the ATI manual front to back, then using the Mometrix for categories you struggle with as well as the review questions. PRACTICE EXAMS I took both of the ATI practice exams on the website and they were 120% worth every dime. Practice A (87.3%) was closer to the real exam in my opinion, but the Science section of Practice A was easier than the actual TEAS science. Practice B (85.3%) was tough and a weee bit harder than the actual TEAS. READING The biggest piece of advice I can give for the reading section is to use ONLY the information that you are given, if it is not stated in the text then don't assume it to be relevant. The process of elimination will help tremendously! If you can narrow your choices down to 2 answers, then you are already halfway to the correct answer. Know the different style of writing and the use of an index, dictionary, encyclopedia, almanac**, and glossary. (All of which is covered in the ATI Manual) MATH For the math section you will be allowed to use a computerized calculator (which I used the entire test). The Calculator was basic and about half the size of the calculator in the practice tests. I used the calculator to shield the answer selections until I had fully read the questions and come up with an answer. I am terrible in math and I am convinced that this method helped me get a 93% in the section. You already know PEMDAS, know your percentages, know the decimal places etc... Science For this section it's either you know it, or you don't. Like many before me have said, this section is basically ALL A&P. Furthermore, this section has ALOT of Endocrine (Hormones, Anatomy and Physiology of the Endocrine System, Glands etc.) Thankfully I just completed the Endocrine System last week so I flew through those questions. Know the basics of the 11*** Systems of the body, know the basics of organelles, basic Biology, balancing an equation in Chemistry (Atomic Mass, Protons, Neutrons etc.). I can say there was a fair mixture of EXTREMELY EASY questions and fairly detailed questions. I wouldn't say that this section was any harder than a typical A and P final exam. English and Language I was banking on this section to be my saving grace and thankfully it was! If you are naturally a proper grammar queen/king, then simply brush up on your semicolon* and dash* usage and you should be just fine. If you are not ABSOLUTELY sure that you are strong in grammar, then Study! The other sections are hard enough so this can set your curve for the exam. Well, that's all folks! Give yourself about 3 months to casually study or 1 month of focused study and you should do great! Best of Luck!

Hey Everyone! I just finished my TEAS today and scored 86.0%! I am beyond excited. I'm currently taking A&P2 which is my last prerequisite so my points will be at least 74 but possibly 78 if I can pull off an A for this last class. I also have my LPN so the point system is more forgiving. Looking forward to some new responses on here!

Hello Everyone, I'm currently finishing my last prerequisite class for FSW's Fall 2017 Nursing program. I'm an LPN so the admission worksheet is a lot more forgiving and the Teas is truly the make it or break it factor. My GPA is pretty average (3.15), however I have left myself plenty of time to retake the TEAS if I don't get the 82-91 that I've been studying so hard to earn. I followed most of the 2016 spring and fall FSW threads on here and I'm pretty surprised that there isn't more commentary with the deadline being in May, but that just means we all have a better chance of making it in the program! I will post an update with my Teas scores and my projected points factoring my A&P2 class. I Look forward to chatting with you all!
