The problem with the FSW ANEW program is that there is no real instruction, and there is way too much emphasis on completing "concept based" online assignments. There is no clinical instruction on physiology, pathophysiology, drug mechanisms of action, medication side effects, or real world hospital treatment protocols. The emphasis is all on nursing assessment, NANDA diagnosis, planning, implementing, and evaluating. However, in the hospital they expect you know signs/symptoms of MI, sepsis, IICP, DIC, stroke, etcetera, but they don't teach this. The whole program in my opinion is a joke. Don't waste your money.

Be prepared to learn 95% of the information on your own. The quality and quantity of instruction in the FSW ANEW program is extremely dismal.

Do not apply for ASN at FSW. This program is horrible - Limited, extremely poor quality instruction, instructors that are more concerned about failing students than helping them, and too much focus on "concepts" rather than on real world clinical applications. Homework assignments consist of drawing family member's/tree, writing a daily journal, and APA style papers. Ridiculous! The instructors provide little if any feedback and don't follow their own syllabus when grading assignments - it's all subjective. This was the worst academic experience ever for me. Very, very disappointed. A complete waste of time, money, and energy.

Hey everyone. Anyone know exactly what books we need (1st yr. nursing) for FSW ANEW Summer, 2017. I got an email with the Course/CRN numbers, but no pics or ISBN #'s. The FSW Bookstore is charging a fortune for a "Bundle" package. I would rather find them used somewhere online. Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.

Forget going to Hamilton's Uniforms. What a terrible place - everything marked up way too high; poor selection; poor customer service; and nothing in stock for male nursing uniforms/scrubs. I ordered everything from Allheart.com. Just need to find an embroiderer now.

Okay, thanks. I'll check it out.

Thanks. Just bought some white (no color label) New Balance at Kohl's. Amazon has some good deals on Littman. Do you know what color scrubs we can wear during lab/class? Also, does anyone out there know how many people applied to the ANEW program, 2017? Thanks.

Hey, Does anyone know where to buy the FSW Nursing uniform for the 2017 ASN, ANEW (summer) program? I believe the shoes have to be white, but could I use white running shoes? Also, do we need a stethoscope right away? I would like to buy the electronic version, but these are $500.00 each. Ouch. Thanks.
