Summerwind

May i join you all?:-) The best part is when a "bad' student complains about the instructor. A perfectly good instruction who is too "harsh" on the student and keeps writing her/him up. Um... hello?

wow! Congrats to everyone! You will LOVE nursing school!

well, you really can't. I had a book i got from ATI, there is a section on Science, and that helped me a lot; the book gives you a good review of what to expect. I would recommend it. You can, probably, find a version online.

I took it in the beginning of the year. Here is my post about it: https://allnurses.com/fl-nursing-programs/teas-test-prep-399551-page8.html#post4072284

This is really hard for me to believe. They definitely make sure that all of the prereqs are taken and that the cumulative grade for the required courses is higher than 2.77.

THAT is a syllabus?

Koster22, you are all set, don't worry then! I know it for sure, because i was paranoid and called the office several times, until they told me loud and clear, that if you are above 2.7, then u r in:-) Haha Good luck to you!

well, the august is HERE!:yeah: I am so excited! And i am getting nervous now, too.. I've been waiting for this forever, but one thing or another.. life happens, and i just could not seem to get to this point. And now, at 33, without any prior medical experience, here i am. Anyhow.. Congrats to all who is starting this Fall 2010, and Good Luck!:)

Hi! If you are still here.. and curious.. Don't worry; it it is over 2.7 then you are in! Congrats!! I am starting this fall 2010 and i m soooo excited!

I just got my acceptance letter!!!!!!OMG, i am soo super happy!

Thanx, def. good info I think it is sad they try to fit in so much info in such a short time. I wonder if people actually retain the information..

Phew I just took the test yesterday, i passed it (according to my school requirements). I got a little over 80% total and i am not going to retest, i m just happy it is over with. Call me a slacker:-) 1) The worst part of the test - it is timed. You only have that much time. 2 out of 4 times i literally had 30 seconds to answer 4 questions. Math was especially bad. 2) Reading - 43 questions, i don't remember, you have 60 min i think. There are several short texts and you have to answer questions about them. For example: what is the main purpose of the passage (to inform, persuade etc). Reading was not hard, just read carefully and think. The questions are not tricky. 3) Math - 30 questions. You have 65 min, i think. I scored the highest here. Know fractions! Many questions on that. Also, you better know how to divide and multiply large numbers. I forgot how to do it and it took me a few minutes to figure it out - time lost. Data interpretation - know how to read data (graphs). Measurment. All the questions on convertion F to C - they give you the info, you only have to multiply/divide. Make sure your answer makes sence. You have to be exact, their options are very close, for example 453.67 or 454.01. So you can not estimate, really. 4) Science.. 48 questions. I finished in half-time, so don't worry, here you have plenty of time. Anatomy - there were many questions on that. I know some posts say there was only 1, i had maybe 5-6. I don't remember exactly what it was though, sorry. Life science, Earth and Physical science, and scientific reasoning. Let's see, if i remember anything. 1 genetic question, so know the parent/offsrping thing. autotroph/heterotroph. 5) English. 30 questions. my weakest (english is my.. third language), but i still did ok.. grammar and word meanings in context, spelling and punctuation, structure. Like there is a sentence part of which is in a wrong part (bakes a good pie my mom) choose the part that is in a wrong part of the semtence. This was easy. Word meaning in context was the hardest for me. Pay attentions on the words around the underlined one and do not make assumptions - work with what you have. It should be easy for a person who grew up here though. You will have plenty of time for this section, too. i finished early. Sorry i don't remember anything in particular. The text was very stressful for me, the time, the amount of questions, it was more than i expected. I thought the questions were hard. I was glad when i was done with it and got my results. Good luck!

I am applying for the 2011! I hope to get in, too:-) I was wondering those who are in school now or recent grads - how many hrs a semester would you consider doable? Are the classes tought in summer, too? For example, their sample schedule for the first semester: NURS 3017 Intro/Med/Surgical Nursing 3 NURS 3018 Clinical Skills I 1 NURS 3019 Intro Med/Surg Nursing Practicum 2 NURS 3000 Pharmacology in Nursing 3 NURS 3101 Health Assessment 3 NURS 3400 Clinical Pathophysiology 3 15 credit hrs Thanx!

Hi! I am applying for 2011, University of Memphis. Anyone else? I am talking Nutrition and A&P 2 this spring, and i will be all done and ready to start nursing program! Well, that is if i will get accepted:-)
