Watts School of Nursing 2015

Published

Hi everyone!

I am scheduled to take the HESI A2 on Feb 14. Anybody else hoping to get in this year? Also, are there any current students that could give us some insight on the pre-admissions test and the application process? Any info would be helpful!

Thanks. :)

I'm currently in the pre-req portion at Watts.

The HESI was pretty easy. I got an 89% without much trouble, so you needn't be too concerned. They are pretty quick with response for whether or not you are admitted as well for most people. I think from sending the app in to getting the acceptance can be around 6 weeks or something.

Sorry for all the questions... Were you allowed a calculator during the test? After you took/passed your test did you have to wait for a response from Watts before sending in your application? From this forum I can see that most people get accepted. How are you liking the program so far?

There is a calculator on the exam for you to use. The math portion is pretty easy. I got a 97% on it and I hadn't taken a math test in years. I don't think you need to get the OK from Watts to apply after you take the test. As long as you score inside their parameters just submit your application and the next thing you should get from them is a letter explaining that your application is complete and paperwork for the background check.

Thats good to hear! Glad there is a calculator. Got my review book in the mail today so I'll be reviewing until test day. Fingers crossed

Hi BeachyRN2Be,

Thought I would let you know that I passed the HESI! It was pretty easy, guess I was just worked up because of test anxiety.

How are pre-requites going?

Prerequisites are going fine. I got As in both A&P and English, and psych finishes up next week. It's getting closer and closer to when I start nursing classes in August and I'm getting nervous, but in a good way.

If you don't mind me asking, when you start your pre-reqs at Watt's?

I started my pre-reqs in January.

Anyone having trouble with the Watt's website 😕? I keep getting a black screening with nursing school ads??

School website is back up, they were having troubles with it, but got it fixed. P.s. I'm a 2nd semester student at Watts (final is tomorrow, then onto third semester). I can't tell you how much I love this school, there just isn't enough words.
