I suggest going to Walmart and trying on the scrubs to see what size fits you best :) For the polo, I just chose my regular t-shirt size.

Sorry for the late reply, been super busy lately. I was super nervous about opening the letter, but I got in. :)

Hey guys! I just got the decision letter in the mail today!

I recently went to advising and I was told that letters should start rolling out in about (tentative) 2 weeks. Really nervous! Goodluck everyone!

I have a friend who got her letter around April last year. Fall 2016 was my first semester so I applied with a 4.0 GPA But Overall TEAS score was an 80%

Anyone else applied to UH Manoa's Fall 2017 BSN Program? I haven't seen any posts on allnurses from other applicants. If you did, I wish all of us good luck! :) Does anyone know when we'll start getting notified about their decision?

I'm also going to be taking the TEAS without taking A&P II. I have a friend who is currently in the nursing program and she also took the TEAS before taking A&P II. She scored a 90% on the science section. She told me that all you need to do is study what the manual wants you to know because the TEAS doesn't go too in depth like the classes do.

The ATI TEAS Study Manual from the makers of the TEAS is really helpful. Since they updated the TEAS this year, I suggest buying one of the practice assessments. You can take it twice so you can take it the first time to see where you're at and what sections you need to focus on. Then, study the sections on the manual that the assessment suggest you should work on. After that, you can take the assessment a second time to see if your score improved.

I'm taking the TEAS in about a week and I was wondering if I could get any advice from those who have already taken this version. How did you guys study and what topics would you recommend I focus on? I have the study manual and bought practice assessment form A. My scores for the practice assessment were 82% individual total score, 89.4% in Reading, 87.5% in Math, 76.6% in Science, and 70.8% in English & Language Usage. Was the actual exam easier or harder compared to the practice assessments? I have never studied for standardized tests before and I winged my ACT & SAT. (Did good on the ACT, but not on the SAT) I've been studying for the TEAS and after taking the practice assessment and reading the study manual, I'm scared that taking in too much information will cause me to second guess the answers on the actual TEAS and cause me to get a lower score. Any tips on how I can pick up things I need to know without confusing myself? Thanks in advance! :) I'm actually really nervous because I'm applying to my school's nursing program this December and I can only take the TEAS once every 3 months. If I don't get the required scores for this cycle, I'll have to wait an entire year before I can apply again.

I'm planning to apply in December. I haven't taken the TEAS yet, but I'm planning to take it next month. Still studying here too. I was told that they are only looking at your cumulative GPA, pre-requisite GPA, and test scores when determining acceptance. Make sure you're gonna kill it in those 3 areas!

I was just wondering if any nursing student got into nursing school through the Direct Entry route from high school. I'm currently a Freshman in college and planning to apply to the nursing school at the end of this semester. (For Fall '17) I would have applied for the Direct Admit program, but the deadline already passed when I found out about it. Looking at the criteria for the Direct Admit program compared to the traditional application, I realized that applying directly from high school would have been easier. Requirements for High School Direct Entry: 1. Minimum Exam Scores SAT: Critical Reading-510 Math-510 ACT: Reading - 22 Math - 22 2. Minimum high school GPA of 3.0 at the end of Junior Year of H.S. Continuing requirements: Minimum GPA of 2.5 on all freshman year college coursework Minimum grade of B in all program coursework Requirements for Traditional Applicants: 1. Minimum Exam Scores TEAS-V: 78% Overall, 83% Reading, 86% Math, 66% Science, 80% English and Language Use NLN-PAX: 50 in each of Verbal, Math and Science 2. Minimum Cumulative GPA of 3.0 in all college/university credits 3. Completion of prerequisite courses: Human Anatomy & Physiology 141/142 (with lab for both) Microbiology 130 2 Social Science Courses 1 Math Course 1 English Course 1 History Course and at the time of application, you must have completed 16 credits, including Microbiology 130, Human A&P 141 + Lab ~ ~ ~ ~ I'm not trying to complain, but what do you guys think about the criteria? I feel like going through the Direct Entry route would have seemed easier and I wouldn't be as stressed. I was also told that the students in the Direct Entry program right now will take up "space" in the total numbers of student the nursing program accepts every year. (e.g. if they take 50 students every year and 30 are in the Direct Entry program, they will only take 20 traditional applicants) I was also told that admissions is strictly based on numbers (GPA + Test Score) and that kind of killed my confidence. I just had my first round of midterms and I did pretty well, but it still kills me a little that my application and chance of acceptance all revolves only around my GPA and Test Score. There's no section in the application for Letters of Recommendation, Resume, Personal Statement, etc. I would have met all the minimum qualifications for the Direct Entry program if I knew about it sooner and applied, but I didn't. I'm still planning to bust my ass and work hard to stand a chance for one of those 20-30 slots, but I still feel a little discouraged. I just personally don't think that a student should solely be chosen because of numbers: their GPA and Test Scores. What about their involvement, commitment, and all the other things that would play a role in creating a great nurse? I also think the Direct Entry Criteria is too easy compared to the traditional application. Any thoughts/opinions?

I'm starting college this Fall and I've finally submitted my class schedule request. My college offers students different ways to register for their classes, but a friend of mine (current nursing student) advised me to join a Learning Community Cluster. The schedule is set and the same 15 people take the same 6 classes together. She said it was really helpful and a great way to make new friends quickly. I was fine with taking my classes with the same people in all of them since it was just for Fall Semester. I was also looking at it as a great way to easily form a study group. What worries me though, is if I can even handle the schedule. The cluster requires us to take a minimum of 15 credits which means I have to add another class since it was only 14 credits. (I have the photo attached) I added English 100 (3 credits) so now I am at 17 credits. Just curious if any other Pre-Nursing students/past Pre-Nursing students took the same or similar course load. Is the load reasonable? Will I be able to have room for a part-time job, volunteering, social life, etc.? Was this a smart decision? Should I pull my request and sign up for classes individually and lower my course load? Thank you in advance for you responses! :)
