Important Advisement Information
Advisement for pre nursing and nursing students has changed for the upcoming Spring 2010 semester, students will no longer sign up on their advisor's door for an appointment.

All pre nursing students should have received an e-mail through their AASU Pirate's Cove student e-mail account to schedule an advisement time. Students who did not receive the e-mail should contact Rita Brownlee to schedule a time.

Nursing students will be advised on the following days:

TEAS Application Test
The Nurse Entrance Test (NET) will no longer be available after March 2009. The Nursing department will transition to using the Test of Essential Skills (TEAS) produced by Assessment Technologies Inc.(www.atitesting.com/). TEAS tests are given every Wednesday at 2:00 p.m. in Room 228 Ashmore Hall. The test will last for approximately 3 hours and 29 minutes.

Beginning October 1st, TEAS will be given the 1st and 3rd Wednesday of the month. The cost of the test is $35.00 (non-refundable). Applications can be picked up at the Department of Nursing (Ashmore Hall) or downloaded here. It is highly recommended that you take the TEAS after you have completed Areas A, D and F. The TEAS would need to be taken prior to submitting an application. Contact Ms Kristy Gose at (912) 344-2575 or Kristy.Gose@armstrong.edu to schedule a testing appointment. We will continue to accept the NET with the Spring 2010 applications as long as the NET was taken prior to May 2009.
