Wake Tech Nursing Program Spring 2015

Hey there JerseyJade!

Congrats!!! And yes, I have a few questions (if you have time to answer). Did you have all of your pre-reqs completed prior to applying? How was the TEAS? Any advise or helpful studying tips you can give? As far as admissions how long did the whole process take once you submitted your application? Was this your first time applying the program? I know they don't have wait-lists anymore but I'm wondering how big the application pool is....

Thanks!

Hey 1hopefulnurse..

So to answer your questions:

1. No, I did not have all of my prereqs finished. I am actually taking the last two right now, which are dev psych and nutrition.

2. The teas was fine. I passed lol. I think if you are studying right now for it there are a few things you need to do. My tips are as follows:

- Make yourself a study schedule, stick to it and be organized.

-Give yourself time to study for the teas.. I studied for two months for the teas while I was getting my cna cert and working 40hrs per week..CRAZY!!! Please don't do this. I passed but I was running around like a chicken with my head cut off:roflmao:...

-In addition to the teas ATI book please find chemistry material to supplement the TEAS book. I feel as though the ATI book was a little to light on chem but covered the other subjects well..

-Please purchase the ATI online assessments A&B. They helped me soooooooooooooooo much. And when you do them write down all questions and answers just so that you can refer to them at a later date and time. And try to do these assessments a few weeks before you take the actual test. After you write the questions down study them over and over again. In addition to these try to do as many practice tests as possible

-I also recommend purplemath.com for additional math materials.. I just paid for a one month subscription and downloaded all of the homework they give you under the teas section

3. I decided I wanted to go to wake tech in March 2014 and I applied after finishing CNA and passing TEAS on July 1 2014. I got accepted on the first try

4. As far as the application pool, during the orientation we were told that approx 70+ students are accepted and 30+ students are alternates. And they also stated that for the last cohort of students everyone on the alternate list eventually got accepted. SO even if you apply and don't get in it is just a matter of time until you actually do.

5. Lastly check out all info on allnurses.com - there are some pretty great threads that speak specifically about the teas and go into even further detail on how to study for it

6. Take deep breathes and no stressing... You can do it!!!

I hope this helps ...
