I need to add one fb friend to launch a new group. Would you mind friending me on FB? Name: Joanna Huh

Looks like this site screens a lot of detailed/sensitive info. Does anyone want to start a FB group for the KSU Nursing 2017 Fall Team so we can collaborate further?

hmaccnm No I do not. I dropped out of school when I was a ways into Social Work back in 2007. Since then, I've been in real estate.

Hi everyone. I got into the traditional BSN program for this fall. So this was my second time applying, and my GPA is subpar (mainly from 10+ yrs ago). But I kept going, retook some classes I received C's in, finished all pre-req's, and retook the TEAS. I'm a returning student after 10+ yrs in the workforce. I was accepted into the GSU ADN program last year, but I wanted to wait one more semester to get into the BSN program. Hoping I can encourage anyone still waiting to get into the KSU program. It's an amazing school for sure. Both campus and programs. Don't give up! Keep trying, keep praying. It will happen in God's timing for sure. GPA: 2.9 Science/math GPA: 3.6 7 pre-req GPA: 3.85 TEAS: 94.7% (previous score was 86.7%) PS. I'm taking pathophysiology right now, and I've been able to maintain As in all my exams so far. I was told that the class avg was 75% after the first exam, which shows the difficulty of the course. If you're taking Patho next semester, I encourage you to review your A&P physiology and thoroughly understand the normal functions of a healthy body. Patho studies the "abnormality" of bodily functions, so you need to know what's normal to apply the abnormals.

I took the ATI TEAS 6 today and scored a 94.7% (99th percentile rank). Reading 91.5% Math 100.0% Science 91.5% English and Language 95.8% This was my second attempt (first score was an 86.7%). So I'm pretty happy with my score. I'd like to share some tips with you all since every little bit helps (and before I forget all about them). Here are some tips on acing the TEAS: 1. Take the exam AFTER taking your pre-reqs (Chemistry, A&P 1 and 2, English 1 and 2, Algebra, Statistics, etc). Do well in these classes because these are the foundation for all of your future classes. Didn't do so well on some parts of these courses? Well you'll have to learn them eventually. I'm taking a Pathophysiology class right now, and I wish I had studied A&P better (not just to ace the exams). 2. Buy a review book. Select one with the best reviews and multiple practice exams. 3. Start by taking the practice test. Don't time yourself on this one. Instead, keep a rolling log of subjects that you weren't quite sure about whether you get the answer correct or not (i.e. digestive enzymes, types of bones, sentence structures, volume of a cylinder, finding the theme of an article, etc). 4 .Use the list you made and study these subjects. I googled visual charts, Quizlet archives, Youtube lectures, etc. The more variety of learning will help you understand these concepts better. Purely "memorizing" won't take you far because the questions are so random that you'll have to understand concepts and make the best educational guesstimates. 5. Check answers to questions missed. Make sure to thoroughly understand WHY you got certain practice questions wrong. This is VERY important. If you truly don't understand a certain problem, ask someone who knows the subject. I noticed that I was missing problems not because I didn't know the material. I was missing problems because I didn't read the questions correctly. 6. Repeat steps 3, 4 and 5 with as many practice exams you can get a hold of. The more you practice, the better your score. I think everyone has a good 15-20% margin of improving his or her score by studying the appropriate material correctly. Eventually, you'll see your practice exam scores improving. Trust me, it's possible. Let me know if you have any questions!

I thought the math, reading and english usage sections were pretty much the same. the science had more "A&P" than other science subjects. but the other science subjects like state of matter, ions, etc were still there. Best place to start will be to analyze your score sheet and highlight the questions/subjects you didn't do so well. Then study those materials first. Practice makes perfect. Keep doing those practice questions (esp for math, readind, and english usage). Watch youtube videos on science subjects you need to brush up on. You can do it! Good luck!!

I was accepted for Spring 2017! I always imagined it being the happiest day of my life. Truth be told, I'm conflicted: to pursue the ASN track or wait one more semester and apply for the BSN track in Jan. I'm hoping I'll have more clarity in the next couple days. On a side note, does anyone know the approximate cost of books, nursing fees, equipment, etc needed each semesters beyond the typical tuition and fees? Also, would the program be scheduled as follows: Spring 2017, Summer 2017, Fall 2017 and finally Spring 2018?
